Walked along the beach and randomly chose to have dinner at the Library. The service was impeccable and we got several mini-starters before our meal arrived. The main courses were not too big, which is actually preferrable while on being on a vacation where there is a lot of eating! Would definitely recommend!

Attention to detail ! In their branding and most importantly in their service. The personal feel and the warmth of the Thai people made this an experience we won’t forget. They were gracious at every turn.
The atmosphere on the evening was amazing. Sitting on the beach with ambient lighting.
Their attention to detail was slightly lacking in some of the paint. It seemed tired in areas.
Cleanliness was exceptional in the rooms.
Great location as well. Walk to area bars and restaurants and shops.
DJ, Ana, Tim, Baw,Tong ,Pho and all the pool staff were exceptional. Thanks for making this a wonderful experience

Dear Iori C,

Thank you for sharing a wonderful review of your recent stay with us at The Library.

We are pleased to hear that you had a great experience to share. We are so thankful that you appreciated the hotel unique conceptual design with genuine Thai hospitality service.

Your compliments are not only meaningful to us but also motivate us to perform our best to go beyond our guest expectations. We believe that the happiness of our guests is also ours and it is the most important aspect to all of us here. It is a pleasure to learn that you liked the hotel central location within proximity to shopping and restaurant areas.

Meanwhile, we have noted on your comments that certain areas are lacking of painting which we indeed have scheduled to refresh those areas. Thank you again for pointing this out.

The whole Library team look forward to welcoming you back for the second chapter to ensure you another memorable stay with us.

Warmest regards,

Incredible Thailand experience and a staff that is focused on service and attention to detail. They made every effort to go out of their way to create a once in a lifetime vacation. Although the main dining area could use a refresh, it’s the best hotel on the beach, and at night it transforms into uniquely illuminated grounds that look like an art installation. The food, beach and mountain views are extraordinary. All about the gracious staff the evoke the kindness of the Thai culture - Tim, Lynn, Poh, DJ, Rock; I could go on. If you really want to treat yourself, The Library is the place to be!

We couldn't find a room to stay there however, we came a few times for food and sunset drinks. It's located at one of the best beaches to swim in Samui, so next time in Samui we'd definitely stay at The Library.
Food, drinks, vibe... everything works well at The Library. Great services and live music for sunset drinks too.

Room tip: Best view, beach is very clean

I'm a little late in writing and submitting this review (sorry) but that doesn't diminish the fondness I had for this lovely lovely hotel and the people that we met during our stay. As you may see from my profile me and my partner are fortunate to be able to travel fairly extensively and be able to stay in a variety of lovely places.
This is without doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed in... Big call but one I'm happy to make.
We stayed in the "secret" villa part of property (not cheap by any means but we were celebrating a few things and this was a BIG pressie to our selves).

Not one bad word to say about the resort of the people that worked in and around it and we had a truly memorable time.

A VERY special mention to Earn who was the young lady that looked after us during our stay and nothing was too much trouble for her - her beautiful smile and lovely personality were certainly a thing that we'll always remember about our time at the Library.

Room tip: If you can stay in the secret villa's but the main part of the resort was also lovely
