We had a had a lovely stay at Explorar during Easter. Excellent staff with shout outs to Tikki by the pool and Joy and Kate in reception who made it such a special experience. Also the bar staff and waiters were all exceptional. The service was quite slow - especially for the special meals such as Easter dinner. We also noticed on that occasion that the people who were indulging in the bottles of wine got more attention! There are only limited options outside the hotel but you can access various beach bars. The shuttle to Fisherman’s village was a nice touch but as it was always full it was difficult to get on. Overall we would recommend

Everything about the property was good. Joi/Nit from the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Always greeted with a smile. Garfield and Ing greeted us with a smile too during our daily bfast. It was lovely to be able to bring our drinks to the deck chairs as well. Only thing is that the mushroom/broccoli served was a little too salty. Room was taken care well by Joy/Nee. Would love to be back to stay in your property.

Explorar is really great, after 12 days couldn’t fault it. Staff are lovely and resort is amazing. Only suggestion would be that they should run the activities like yoga etc daily rather than weekly and they should run more shuttles to the market and chaweng.

Beautiful view from the patio. Room was as expected. Breakfast options were excellent including mimosas. Restaurant prices were on the high side for meals and drinks. Gym facility was top notch with good working equipment. Only real complaint is not enough pool loungers. All the chairs are claimed by 9:00, but not being used despite the signs saying you can’t reserve them.

Fantastic hotel right by the beachfront. Spotlessly clean, with a beautiful and quiet pool area, and fantastic attentive staff. Also, finally, a hotel in Thailand that freely offers fresh coconuts with the breakfast buffet! Something's telling me Explorar will be my go-to option for Samui!

We stayed at the Explorar for the last leg of honeymoon trip and it was incredible. The staff go above and beyond and the hotel itself is stunning and the pool was amazing. There are a lot of complimentary activities throughout the week. You can visit lots of temples, elephants and waterfalls easily. The food has a nice variety but also nice restaurants nearby and in Fisherman's Village. Joey and his team at the bar made the best cocktails & drinks we had on our travels. They were so friendly and knowledgeable. We had the best time, thank you!
