Grand Manita Beach Resort

A very quiet secluded resort, right on the beach. Rooms are clean and nicely furnished, no TV, just kick back and relax. Pool situated over looking the beach. The beach is shallow, at low tide you'll see it's not great for swimming, but the pool is spot on. No reception at the moment, assuming due to the quiet season, but staff were ready enough to get a hold of when required. Mattresses are normal for the region. Quite firm. I enjoyed my stay, the staff were great, local dining very nice, massage at Lilly's towards Silver beash worth a visit. Shade Coffee is great, Renu and Tips Tacos are great too, Kawins Kitchen too.

Very quiet and peaceful, very good value for money

Very quiet and peaceful and great value for your money.

This is at first look at not bad resort even if the pictures make their job. Poor of services and full of mosquitos, any time I went out of the room I have been hit. They comes from various small pool of standing water, everything is surrounded by a lot of plants and room was so dark. It wasn't comfortable stay on the balcony and the room had little lighting, tv with a very poor connection. Shower has a poor flow. I have booked this resort because in the description they tell to have sun beds and beach umbrellas, but the beach was empty. I have been many times in Samui that was the worst place I have been. I do not recommend this place also for what you get the price is too high.

From the moment I made the booking, Wen was in touch and confirmed airport pick up and transfer. Very smooth and executed well: the taxi was at the airport with a printed out name sheet (ie not hand written!). The accommodation itself is ideal: the room is large with lots of space to manoevre. Aircon unit and fridge a god-send. Electric shower with hot water - you might not always want hot water at 30 degrees but it's good to have for early in the morning when cold water isn't that welcome. Two bottles of still water in the room every day is a bonus. The pool and beach front are extremely pleasan and very quiet: an ideal way to spend a relaxing chill out holiday. Deng who manages the massage concession by the pool is brilliant. A very good massage therapist who understands manipulation well, unlike some places where I've had massage and the therapist goes through set moves like an automaton without taking any cognissace of the person they are manipulating! Not Deng, she was extremely sensitive to areas of concern and worked away at them diligently and gently. I've been to Samui a lot over the last 20 years and I'm only kicking myself that I didn't find Grand Manita sooner. It is now my number one destination when in Samui. I wouldn't stay anywhere else! Thank you all for making my visit so trouble-free.

Not really anything good to say about this hotel, felt abandonned and worn out. Hardly any personnel, nobody there at checkout which cause a great deal of confusion. First room was dirty, tv didn’t work, but did however get an upgrade. The new room was a bit better, but still not clean. Loads of bugs coming in from the open roof in the bathroom. No restaurant. No minibar. No bar as advised in promotion. There is a small 7/11 close by, but still no service at hotel. Dirty pool, dirty small beach. Waking distance to Silver beach which was good despite being a bit small. If you want to go to the town or Chaweng beach which has a bit more going on, reckon on spending an additional 400 baht each way on taxis as it’s not in walking distance (unless ur the active type of person or unless you rent a scooter). Hotel is located beside the main road which is pretty polluted, noisy and also highly traficated. In general it felt abandonned. Wouldn’t recommend. There are better alternatives!
