Sheraton Samui Resort
Things to know
before you go
Sheraton Samui Resort is a 5-star beachfront Marriott property with optional all-inclusive rate plans on OTAs.
Its strengths are Chaweng Noi beach access, family facilities, pools, spa and service rather than cutting-edge room design.
Confirm the actual all-inclusive rate inclusions before booking because Marriott’s official page does not publish a full all-inclusive grid.
Hidden tips
Ask for a quiet renovated ocean-view room.
Use the resort for beach and pool days, then taxi into Chaweng for more dining and nightlife variety.
Direct-booking Marriott benefits may not match OTA all-inclusive rate benefits.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive exists only as select rate plans, not the default Marriott product.
This is on Chaweng Noi, quieter than central Chaweng but not as walkable to nightlife.
Room condition varies; view and renovation status matter.
Strengths from our research
Optional all-inclusive rates
Beachfront on Chaweng Noi
Kids club and children's pool
Two pools
Strong Wi-Fi and business amenities
Other considerations from our research
All-inclusive terms need manual confirmation
