The Poppies Samui is a tiny magical oasis of tropical enchantment and is situated at the southern end of Chaweng beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort area. The bungalows are nestled in fantastic tropical gardens and furnished in a modern Thai style. All have a private terrace which is surrounded by lush greenery. A short walk leads to the pool with natural rocks and the well-known restaurant offers Thai and international cuisine and a great wine selection. The Poppies Spa offers a range of treatments such as massage or facial treatment for your relaxation and rejuvenation.
Accommodation and facilities:
Perfect stay!! Poppies offers perfect sevice and great location, it is definately worth the money. The rooms are beautifull and set into green jungle just right at the beach, wifi is available in all rooms. The staff is absolutely friendly, we have seen a lot of luxury hotels but none did top this service. We had really bad luck with the weather, so everybody did the best to make our stay comfortable.. e.g. by free cocktails and snacks in the evening. The pool boy was very kind as well, you always get fresh towels, free drinking water (and friendly smile). Room service was excellent as well- the room was made up twice a day, everything was absolutely clean, the fruit basket was filled up twice a day as well.. a great management and service in every aspect! The location is perfect, you will find a very silent and charming resort - city life just in front of the door. We can really recommend Poppies

Staff were beyond 5 star! Food was amazing, cottages beautiful, and the small touches were fantastic... staff remembering specials items you wanted at breakfast, beach staff setting up your regular chair on the beach every day, and the regular treats and special notes left on the pillow every night were wonderful. Food was amazing, and the boutique style and small size of the resort was perfect! The trash on the beach was the only down side, but the staff swept regularly to try and keep up with it.
Reservation service:
Excellent.

We were a family of four, with two kids under 6. Obviously this resort has mostly couples staying there, endulding in this great place, but it worked fantastic for us as well; great service, nice pools, the location by the beach and cottages. It is nice and quiet, garden beautiful and everyone helpful. Only draw back for us was the restaurant menu which is a bit pricy for a light lunch, especially with kids. If returning to Koh Samui, we would definitely stay here again!

"An introduction to... Koh Samui Most Popular Boutique Resort" A tiny magical oasis of tropical enchantment, Poppies Samui lies on a pristine
white sandy beach in the Gulf of Siam. Located at the south end of renowned Chaweng beach, well away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort area, Poppies has earned its reputation, since opening in 1994 as Koh Samui most exclusive boutique hideaway.
A crystal clear free form swimming pool with natural rock formations, and a sparkling Jacuzzi lie between the gardens and the sea. Poppies restaurant
is now firmly established as the leading restaurant on the island, where you can dine under the stars overlooking the beach or in the magnificent Ayuthaya-style teak pavilion beside the pool.
Poppies gardens are considered by many regular guests to be
our crowning glory. There can not be many hotels in the world
where the gardening team receive as many accolades as the frontline
staff! Every time you walk through them you will discover some delightful
new flower or feature you missed the time before. To take it all in,
there is a strategically located sala (a Thai style thatched roofed
gazebo) in the heart of Poppies, overlooking the carp filled fishponds,
where you can sit and contemplate.
A few gentle steps from the pool lead you from the hotel directly
onto a white sandy beach. This is probably where you will spend
most of your days, lazing under white canvas parasols on our fully reclining
beach beds. Our attentive beach staff will happily set you up for the
day as well as provide continuous glasses of complimentary iced water
and bar and food service.
The beach itself is completely
coral and stone free so the swimming conditions and visibility (subject
to weather) are of the highest quality. Poppies Samui is owned and managed
by an established team of caring and experienced professionals from
UK, Eire, Thailand and Indonesia (Bali).
Getting to Koh Samui has never been easier or quicker
thanks to Bangkok Airways, who exclusively operate frequent daily flights
from and to Bangkok (domestic terminal Don Muang Airport), Singapore,
Hua Hin, Phuket and Krabi with a fleet of state-of-the-art Boeing 717
and ATR aircraft. Koh Samui airport is regarded as one of the most uniquely
charming airports in the world.
ACCOMMODATION
Poppies cottages combine the very best of Thai style with western comforts and amenities. The carved roof panels, floors, doors and windows are of solid teak and the fabrics are of finest Thai cotton and silk. Poppies underwent a major refurbishment in late 2006 including
brand new and unique bathrooms with a sunken bathtub & shower set in marble, glass sink atop a teak table and a private garden.
Each cottage is L shaped like a small suite comprising a sleeping area with either a king-size bed or twin single beds, and a living area with an easy chair, marble table
and a large comfortable sofa that converts to a full size single bed if required. Of course individual air-conditioning, ceiling fan, personal safe, flat screen LCD television (satellite and cable channels), DVD / CD player personal refrigerator, hair drier and free coffee & tea making facilities come as standard.

LOCATION & MAP
Koh Samui. Thailand southern paradise island - the third largest in the country - lies in the Gulf of Siam and has long been famed for its incomparable beauty as a truly tropical island. Chaweng Beach, with its silver-white powder-fine sand and crystal-clear
blue water, is one of the best beaches in the world. Poppies lies on the best part, where there is no coral under the water - just pure sand.
Koh Samui is an island of coconut palms - about 2,5 million of them. For sightseeing Samui has much to offer - the mountainous interior conceals coffee and rubber plantations as well as tracts of untouched jungle and spectacular waterfalls. Strange rock formations abound.
The most impressive landmark is the Big Buddha, a huge golden image set on a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea. Other activities include Elephant Trekking, a visit to a Snake Farm, a Crocodile Farm, or the Butterfly Garden.
You can watch trained monkeys picking coconuts, or you can go mountain biking. Poppies owns small jeeps which may be rented - this is the recommended way to see the island, so bring your international drivers license. For those who do not wish to drive themselves, Poppies offers chauffeur-driven day tours, with a picnic lunch provided by our Chef.
