“It was a brilliant stay and we were refreshed afterwards.”
We had a great trip and cannot recommend this hotel enough. Everything was perfect, from the staff who were always available to help and accommodate, to the breakfast which was top quality and always a good start to the day, but also the facilities.

“Fantastic!”
A Perfect Paradise Curated by a True Gentleman – Muky & The Ampersand Resort From the moment we arrived at The Ampersand Resort in Ko Samui, we knew we had stepped into something truly special. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a carefully crafted sanctuary, designed with passion and precision over six years by the remarkable Muky, a true gentleman whose dedication to hospitality is evident in every detail. What truly sets this place apart is Muky himself. With a kind and gentle energy, he effortlessly makes every guest feel at home, always seeking ways to elevate the experience. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his commitment to excellence in service shines through in everything he does. From a customized breakfast tailored to our preferences to thoughtful surprises throughout our stay, every moment felt effortless and indulgent. The location is simply breathtaking. Nestled on a private beach, the resort offers stunning views and unforgettable sunsets, where tranquillity and elegance blend seamlessly into the surroundings. A highlight of our trip was taking a kayak out to a nearby island, an experience that felt both adventurous and exclusive. Just steps from the beach, the crystal-clear pool provides the perfect place to cool off and relax while soaking in the incredible scenery. Beyond the natural beauty, The Ampersand Resort is designed for both relaxation and recreation. The well-equipped gym allows guests to maintain their fitness routine, while the high-quality sound system throughout the property enhances the ambiance, creating an immersive and luxurious experience. Every aspect of the design and atmosphere has been carefully curated. The result is a space that feels both luxurious and intimate, modern yet deeply connected to nature. The care and attention Muky has poured into The Ampersand Resort over the years is evident in every corner.

This small & intimate hotel is in a peaceful part of the island. The rooms have a beautiful & elevated view over the ocean & the beach is very nice as it provides a real feeling of privacy. Breakfast was freshly cooked & good quality. Moocky & his partner were absolutely excellent hosts & catered to our needs with effort & attention at all times. We are grateful to them both for their kind hospitality!

“A Fantastic Getaway at Ampersand Resort”
I recently stayed at Ampersand Resort for a weekend getaway, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed and the thoughtful amenities provided. The view from my window was breathtaking, adding a magical touch to my mornings. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel’s restaurant. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, and I loved starting my day with fresh local ingredients. Dinner was equally impressive, with a menu that beautifully showcased the region's culinary delights. Additionally, the hotel’s location is perfect—close to major attractions yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. I enjoyed strolling through the nearby parks and exploring the local shops. Overall, my experience at Ampersand Resort was nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I can’t wait to return!

Our stay was simply perfect – from the warm welcome to the thoughtful farewell. The rooms are a masterpiece of style and comfort, with every detail carefully considered. Breakfast was a delight: fresh, local, and beautifully presented. What impressed us most was the personal service: attentive, genuine, and always present without being intrusive. This hotel is an oasis you’ll hardly want to leave. A big thank you to the team – we will definitely be back! Five stars, well-deserved!

What can I say… it is exceptional. It is like staying at your billionaire friends house and all the staff is available for you 24/7. The design of the hotel is an experience in itself! It is not a crowded hotel and if you expect a lively vibe and people hanging in a hotel bar this is not the place. At least not when we were there. We didn’t leave the hotel once we got there and honestly, we didn’t want to leave. We had breakfast lunch and dinner there throughout our stay and it was all really nice. Very private. We stayed in a room where the aircon was quite noisy and we mentioned it and they immediately arranged a different room so we got to try 2 different rooms. Gym was good Pool was nice - small but nice. View from the rooms is stunning. Rooms are fascinatingly beautifully built. The beach is not a sandy beach. There are rocks so it’s not the best place swim in the sea. See this place as you visiting a friends house (Willy Wonka’s summer residence) and not a hotel. We were treated like royals. So thank you Muki for having us in your hotel - you did a beautiful job building and designing it.

“Nice, quirky boutique hotel…..but a bit remote if you have no transportation.”
A quirky, bespoke property put together by the owner/hotelier. A lovely location, quiet and peaceful although it’s a bit off the beaten track and you really need a car or personal transport if you stay for any length of time.
