Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
We enjoyed our stay at Secret Garden. John and Rebecca were very helpful in arranging car hire and a taxi back to the ferry. The bungalow was nice and clean and the food was good. The sand on this part of the beach is a bit grainy and not as nice as other areas but what that means is that the beach is quiet and you don t get hassled to buy stuff every few minutes. The road outside has a few nosiy bars with bar girls, but we hopped in a van most nights down to Fishermans Village for around 50 Bht each.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
The owner is English, his wife from HK. They are great. The beach in Bophut is NOT like Lamai or Chaweng but it s quiet. If you like English food the cafe is fine though the hours are limitted. We stayed in the beachfront bungalow which was great. Rent a motorbike for $6 USD a day and shop at Big C to avoid tourist prices. The Italian food nearby is bad, service worse.
Reservation service:
Perfect as alway.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
We were expecting a more subdued area on Big Buddha Beach. The street our resort was on was hectic, but the beach front room we had was like being a world away. For the money, it was very good value. The restaurant made the best coffee we have ever tasted, and the owners, John and Rebecca were quite helpful.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant stay. Accommodation was good, staff were friendly and helpful and John and his wife, the owners, were excellent hosts.
Reservation service:
Reservation service very efficient. The transfer to and from the airport was fine, there was a little confusion at the airport with the transfer when we arrived, due apparently to a previous passenger changing flights, but a quick phone call to the taxi company and we were picked up a few minutes later, transfer back was fine and prompt.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Secret Garden, and will probably go back soon. Magnificent coffee, high quality of food, great atmosphere. Lots of restaurants nearby and calm atmosphere inside the secret garden. The restaurant is on the beach front, so a perfect place to bring children and chill out while they play on the beach. The owner John helped us a lot bookinfg ferry to Koh Phagnan, finding maps, recommending restaurants, what to se and do in Samui etc.
Reservation service:
We got an sms every time we had to check something on the email, there were no porblems at all about the booking.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
If you are thinking about booking at this resort, the beach front bungalow is the only way to go !!! The beach side are nice enough, but darker and smaller. we LOVED THE beach front kept the sliding doors open to the sea view.
Reservation service:
ok, but not sure why you don t pay for all the stay before you go. If we hadn t liked the resort, I like that we can cancel, but there was a 1 day penalty. So better to pay for all before you go as the resort charged 3% for credit card useage. Didn t like that.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
fabulous place to stay, very clean, well equipped with home comforts, comfy and really well located. Feels like it is a private beach as it is so quiet, and it really is on the beach!! But the minute you step on to the road there is plenty to do, or it is easy to get a cab into Chaweng (300baht). Big Buddha is only about a 15 min walk away, most of which you can do on the beach and the ferry to Ko Phan yang is literally on the doorstep! Rebecca and John are both very friendly and lovely to be around. It was like a home away from home, I couldn t recommend it more.
Reservation service:
really easy! perfect!

A really lovely place to stay, John and Rebecca couldn t have been more helpful in arranging trips, restaurant bookings etc. and dealt with our requests immediately and efficiently. A good range of breakfasts were offered and their restaurant serves the most delicious food. The large range of cocktails were brilliant. All in all very good value for money, we ll be back!

Accommodation and facilities:
The accomodations were very clean and comfortable. You are RIGHT ON THE BEACH. John and Rebecca, the owners work very hard to make your stay special. I highly recommend the Secret Garden. It was difficult to communicate that our flight was delayed. We had to pay twice for the taxi because we couldn t communicate directly with the resort.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed in 2 different bungalows during our stay as because of the time of year, we couldn t get one room for the entire stay. Both bungalows were really nice - clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. The restaurant was good, but it was a shame it didn t stay open later. The resort is located on one of the prettier parts of the beach (there s lots of rubbish further down). The owners are very friendly, gave us lots of tips and quickly organised car hire for us. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, but we preferred to get a taxi into Bophut as it was more our scene.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalow
Accommodation and facilities:
Having explored the island for a few days on moped, we discovered that our resort was by far the perfect place to stay. Five minutes drive from fisherman village, for interesting restaurants amazing bars and quaint shopping, the Secret Garden resort has a beautiful view of the bay, and a beautiful white sandy beach. The resort is small so is great for a quiet getaway, but its also not too far away from the main shopping districts and tourist areas by moped or taxi (£6 to chewang roughly 15mins away). This is great as staying in the main tourist hot spots can be a little bit too commercial day in day out. John and Rebecca who own the resort are lovely. If you have a problem with anything or need to book any excursions they will do it for you and arrange everything. The food is cheaper than fishermans village, and tastes amazing! Our room which was the beachfront bungalow, was the largest on the resort, and the view was to die for, an amazing view with its private terrace and coconut trees. This is a very special resort, and after a long day on an excursion or travelling the island, you feel like you are coming home to your very own little piece of paradise. We strongly reccomend staying here, and would gladly go back again!
Reservation service:
really easy, quick, with reassuring emails on dates, prices and times.

Secret Garden Beach Bungalows
are located right on Big Buddha beach on the tropical island of Koh
Samui in Thailand. We are a small beach bungalow operation with 9
accommodations, right on the beachside within a small property. All of
our bungalows are close to the soft sandy beach.
Secret Garden Beach Bungalows are also conveniently located within
walking distance of a bank, ATM, pharmacy, convenience stores, internet
cafe, ferries to Koh Phangan (Full Moon Party) and Koh Tao, small bars
and restaurants. From our beach it is 5 minutes by taxi to Fisherman's
Village, 10 minutes to the airport and 15 minutes from the nightlife in
Chaweng. Secret Garden has its own beachfront café and bar overlooking
the beach, Koh Phangan and the Bronze Big Buddha statue.
ACCOMMODATION
Our bungalows have wooden floors, air conditioning, clean bathrooms and their own terraces with table and chairs where you can sit and relax. They each have cable TV, CD/DVD players, refrigerators, in-room safes, coffee/tea facilities.

Our beach is quiet with calm water and soft sand and never gets very busy. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, you will find it here. We are a small, casual beach bungalow property and if you want to laze and do nothing, just enjoy the peace and quiet on the beach, we will leave you alone. If you need any help or advice, we are always on hand and will gladly help you organize tours, hire a car/motorbike, visit a spa or book ferries for you on request.
