Location
Nestled in a tranquil corner of Koh Samui, The Sea Koh Samui Resort and Residences by Tolani - SHA Extra Plus offers a serene getaway for those seeking a peaceful retreat by the sea. The resort boasts an enviable beachside location, providing guests with direct access to a calm and clean shoreline that is perfect for relaxation without the usual crowds. Many reviews highlight the stunning beachfront views and the quiet atmosphere, which makes it an ideal spot for unwinding.

While located on the northwest side of the island, a bit removed from the bustling tourist centers, the location provides a perfect balance for those wanting a quiet escape but still within manageable distance to attractions like the Fisherman’s Village and other vibrant parts of the island. Renting a scooter or car is advisable for exploring further, as the hotel is somewhat secluded.

Despite its remoteness, the resort ensures easy access to beautiful swimming and sightseeing locations, perfect for those willing to take short journeys to explore. The aid of the accommodating and friendly staff adds to the pleasant experience, ensuring that guests feel welcome at all times.

The Sea Koh Samui's slightly remote setting may pose a challenge for those looking to be at the heart of island activities. However, for travelers undeterred by distances, the reward is a peaceful privacy in a stunning beachside location.

Breakfast
At The Sea Koh Samui Resort and Residences by Tolani, the breakfast experience garners a range of opinions. While the setting—right on the beach with stunning views of the sea—offers a unique and picturesque start to the day, the breakfast itself presents a mixed bag. Many guests appreciate the good selection and flavor, describing it as delicious, with both buffet and à la carte options available. The buffet is often praised for being extensive and excellent, catering to various needs. Others commend the diligent and friendly staff who strive to ensure comfort during breakfast.

However, some guests feel that the breakfast lacks variety and could benefit from more diverse options. For a hotel of this caliber, these guests expected a more varied and plentiful spread. Several reviews reflected on the quality not meeting the expectations for a 4-5 star accommodation, describing meals as modest, meager, or just okay. Despite the scenic location, the overall quality and selection could potentially be enhanced to match the hotel's prestigious setting and elevate the guest experience.

Dinner
The dining experience at The Sea Koh Samui Resort and Residences by Tolani offers a varied mix of opinions from its guests, with an overwhelming appreciation for the taste and quality of the seafood options available. Situated right on the water, the restaurant provides a stunning beachside setting that many guests found appealing, adding to the overall dining ambiance.

The resort has earned praise for its delicious dishes during dinner, with several reviews highlighting the excellence of the seafood. Despite this, there are remarks pointing out issues such as limited menu options, rubbery steak, and tasteless food among a few guests. Furthermore, the portion sizes at the restaurant could be considered small, particularly when juxtaposed with higher prices than those offered at nearby establishments.

While the restaurant staff received compliments for their helpfulness and consideration, some guests mentioned discomfort due to the small and closely arranged seating area. This factor, coupled with high food and drink prices, led some patrons to view the dining experience as less than ideal in terms of value.

In summary, while the resort’s dinner offerings are characterized by superb quality and a picturesque setting, they come with limitations in variety, affordability, and comfort that might influence some guests' overall satisfaction.

Many guests appreciate the spaciousness of the rooms, which often include multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and ample living areas, making them ideal for families or groups.
