Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Official Marriott page lists Coco Scoop, Long Talay, Blue Monkey and Lobby Bar; Hotels.com summarizes two restaurants and two bars, so the current operating count should be manually reconciled.
Pools & waterplay
Official Marriott page describes a free-form beachfront pool with children's pool section and a hillside garden pool with spa-pool section.
The beach itself
Beachfront on Chaweng Noi Beach; guest and OTA sources generally support swimming, but beach conditions vary by season and surf.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.

Before you book
Nine things the research turned up about Sheraton Samui Resort that the brochure does not say.
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.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
Where else to look

- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)

- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
