Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Official page lists Edgewater Family Beach Club and Bar and Voyager 47 Club Lounge; the resort restaurant footprint is smaller than classic all-inclusive resorts.
Pools & waterplay
With waterslides
Official FAQ states four beachfront pools and one resort-side pool; official overview adds a children's water slide.
The beach itself
Located on Lamai Beach; guest sources mention seaweed/tide variability and that the beachfront pools and restaurant sit across the road from the main resort side.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore

Before you book
Seven things the research turned up about OUTRIGGER Koh Samui Beach Resort that the brochure does not say.
OUTRIGGER Koh Samui is not a classic destination all-inclusive; treat all-inclusive as a rate-plan choice that must be verified at booking.
The resort works best for families who want Lamai Beach, multiple pools, kids club and easy access to Koh Samui dining outside the hotel.
The main resort and beachfront pool or restaurant areas are split across the road, which affects the feel of the resort.
Hidden tips
Book only a rate that explicitly states all-inclusive if meals and drinks matter.
Choose club categories if lounge benefits and daily food or drink inclusions are important.
Use Lamai's nearby restaurants rather than assuming the resort must handle every meal.
Things guests wish they had known
This is a flexible Koh Samui resort with optional meal-plan packaging, not a Caribbean-style all-inclusive where every booking automatically includes everything.
Most loved
4 themes- Family pool and kids facilities
- Friendly service
- Lamai Beach access
- Room comfort and club options
Most complained about
3 themes- Split layout across the road
- Beach seaweed or tide variability
- All-inclusive plan clarity
Koh Samui Reddit discussion says true drinks-included all-inclusive is uncommon on the island; this supports treating OUTRIGGER's all-inclusive availability as package-specific and requiring rate verification.
The rate, and where to check it
A checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. Here is the stay we price.
This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
We can place the reservation through an accredited travel agency partner. There is no separate fee for using us, and the resort looks after your stay once it is booked. If you book this way the resort pays us a commission. You are not charged a separate fee. How we are paid.

We earn nothing on these links. How we are paid is set out here.
We check this rate on a rotating schedule. Leave an email and we'll flag a real drop, not a countdown timer.
Nov to Apr
Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run May to Nov.
