This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Thanks
We had six nights of our honeymoon here in 2008 and it was wonderful. A truly great hotel and worth every penny
Love watching your videos whilst eating breakfast on a rainy day in Auckland dreaming of a tropical holiday!!
Your trip reports are the best on you tube hands down.
One guess is that the fruit flies reflect that they aren't spraying the grounds with insecticides.
Hi Kevin when are you coming back to Bali to review the resort there?
If you ask for likes,comments and subscription then aren't you asking for the very thing you are trying to avoid 😆 in the pursuit of providing genuine reviews. At some point, you're going to receive special treatment in some locations thirsting for folks like you.
Hi Kevin. Would love for you to review Six Senses Con Dao, since you have already been to Ninh Van Bay and compare. For whatever reason, that property will cost double what you paid for Samui! I would love to see if that's worth it in your opinion or not. Thanks!
Have not seen a sunrise since Haleakala in 2021 and maybe 25 years before that when I would stay out all night 😅
This brought back some memories from my quick visit here in 2007.. of course there are some changes, but you surely captured the undeniable peace and beauty of this magical place..thanks as always.. 🙏
Just noticed you’ve reached 50K subs, congrats! Well deserved and I’m sure with the quality of your content that number will continue to steadily grow. Great job Kev 🎉
Park Hyatt in Auckland
Always enjoy the hotel reviews, and this one was fantastic. As always, your attention to all the little details you comment on makes your videos stand out from others.
Let me add to your pet peeve because it's beginning to become mine as well. We as a family checked into a Holiday Inn (Australia) to celebrate my parents' special wedding anniversary in March, booked through IHG and used loyalty points + pay (so they knew we would be coming AND could easily contact me), mentioned prior that it was a special occasion and requested a cake to be in their room on arrival along with sparkling wine. Went to the restaurant to make a booking for the celebration dinner the following night only to be told that the restaurant was closed for dinner both nights of our stay due to a conference, no issue we would do lunch then, nope closed for lunch and dinner both days AND no room service was available, add to our misery try getting a local restaurant open on a Monday night, l was not happy!! Repeat performance at a Novotel (Australia) over Easter, the only restaurant was closed at 5pm (once again for a function) we found this out only after going down to enjoy a pre dinner drink, no big deal we would have a couple of drinks then just order room service you guessed it none of that either because of the function. At no point on booking, check-in, or pre arrival interaction, did anyone mention restaurant closures or room service unavailable. A simple email in advance (given conferences and weddings are booked months if not a year in advance) so guests can make alternative arrangements would be common sense if not just common courtesy.
Hmm 🤔 Park Hyatt Auckland?
Thanks
Nice reveiw as always! My favorite airline/hotel reviewer! I wonder how this compares to Conrad Koh Samui which is on the more secluded side of the island..
I do enjoy your videos Kevin, but this is another "top rated" hotel that looks to me a bit "meh".
Congratulations on your well deserved 50k subscribers! Your content is so high in quality considering you upload quite frequently. I want to ask if you ever plan to upload trip reports or reviews for trains in the future as they would be interesting to see. Great review as always!
Took me a while to catch up with your videos. This series will help me to determine wich hotel to choose for my next trip. We have been plaing to come to Koh Samui for a while now. Last weekend we tried Conrad Bangkok and Rosewood Bangkok- both very valid options for different use cases. Amazing video again here. You have quickly become my favorite channel when it comes to travel- i feel you create just the type of video i always wanted to make myself.
I was just there a week ago and also had 2 Rooms booked (Pool Villa Ocean View and Hideaway without Pool). We also got an upgrade on the Hideaway Villa with Pool. Actually also Villa 46. I've been to 4 Six Senses properties but never had a status or anything but they ALWAYS upgraded me.
That nearby residential complex to the south is absolutely an eyesore. Feel bad for the resort.
Hi!Can you please try Taj Falaknuma and ITC Kohenur in Hyderabad,India later if possible?
Wonderful video as always. Many Australians visit Samui so ask for an iced long black rather than an americano and you might luck out.
A 20 year old resort, renovated in 2015 (even if partially) good like a well kept car. Not like my experience in Anantara Bangkok, where it needed a renovation few decades ago.
even I don't like my initials embossed on the Tumi suitcases / bags / backpacks. Looks silly.
That is one very beautiful place to recoop. I agree that the resorts need to manage the events better so as not to hinder the experience and facility availability of resort guests. As far as the strange upgrade goes, maybe you are somehow recognized by the GEM and got a partial VVIP treatment. 🙂
Great review! Also looking forward to the review for the Kimpton. I am planning to book the Intercontinental Samui for June, have you been there or can you recommend it?
It's impressive how fast you have become one of my favourite YouTubers to watch haha, super elegant videos.
Any info on when your video on the Kimpton kimalay will be out? This video has strongly made me consider Six Senses for Koh Samui, but the only available prices atm are just shy of 800usd per night for the pool villas. For Bangkok we are also strongly considering the Kimpton per your recommendation, but are also looking at the four seasons after your video haha
Really enjoyed this video. Would be great to see a review of the Banyan Tree, on the other side of the island! Hopefully that will be next on your list 🙂
You must try Conrad Samui !
Top of my list now but unfortunately looks like it will be out of budget but looks stunning.👍
What a great resort! Thank you Kevin !
Thank You ✈️
