Our stay at Varinda Garden Resort was absolutely lovely, and what made it truly special was the incredible staff and the wonderful breakfast each morning. From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ready to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and it felt more like staying with family than in a hotel. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The selection was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared, with a great variety to suit different tastes. Sitting down to such a high-quality breakfast each morning was the perfect way to start the day. Varinda Garden Resort is a peaceful and charming place, made exceptional by the people who run it and the care they put into every detail. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming stay.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic look of the entire resort and how it is nothing like any resort/hotel we’ve ever stayed. Although its location is not “close” to restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc., they are within 10-20 minutes walking distance. The photos shown on different sites do not capture what you will experience when you are there. I would highly recommend this resort!!!

Absolutely beautiful experience, very old school Samui. You could spend hours looking at the art all over the resort. Pool was refreshing with a view over the water. Bit of a walk to the beach or Lamai, this place is best enjoyed with a rental car or scooter. Rooms a bit rustic but it adds to vibe.

Glastonbury in Thailand

This was perfect for us.... we felt very much at home here. It's a little rough around the edges in places but we stayed in shiny resorts that were stale and pomp. Lovely friendly staff. Great to see children enjoying themselves not on screens. Impossible to see all the artwork, every day we'd see something new. We would definitely come back here.

Whimsical Getaway

This resort is absolutely magical! It felt like a whimsical garden of Eden. The staff were amazing and super nice. They helped us rent scooters, book excursions and massages, and even personally drove us to the pier on our last day. Breakfast was good, and one of the resort dogs is a sweetheart! He would come and greet me every time we returned on our scooters. The family suite has an amazing view and porch to relax on. Since it’s a rustic room I expected to see a lot of bugs and geckos but it was super clean and bug free. The only thing that could improve was the beds were pretty firm. Overall I highly recommend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Go for the charm, not for the comfort

A very charming hotel, so many cute details and lovely, helpful staff. A very nice guy helped us with a gekko in our room. Generally, wonderful sorroundings, but the rooms really lacked comfort, and I wish most of the attention to detail would have been spend on making the rooms nice, especially in this heat, your hotel room is your place for relaxing and cooling down. The room had barely any water in the shower, bad aircondition and doors and windows that couldn’t fully close, so easy access for unwanted animals, and the room was always way to hot.

My family and me stayed for two weeks in a family home in the Varinda Garden. The Varinda Garden is one of the most beautiful and lovely resorts on the island, so unique and artistic. We have never been to such a special place before. The Garden is perfect for children with a great pool and lots of other things to discover. We had a very clean and comfortable family house with an astonishing sea view. The food and the breakfast was very delicous and also beautiful and healthy. The Garden is run by a family which is very friendly and lovely. At every time there was someone you could talk to and get usefull information about the island. This is a place for the esthetic eye. Even on our last day, we spottet details we hadn't recognized before. The beach, a supermarket and the Lamai main street are nearby, everything reachable within 5 minutes. If you want to have a special holiday with memories and pictures for your life, we highly recommend you this awesome place. Best regards to the Varinda Garden Family and Staff and thank you for all the special, nice things.
