Samui Seabreeze Place Mini-hotel

Really nice guy, he’s been here for over 40 years as it’s a family run business. He’s actually highly educated in law but chose to stay where his heart is.

This area is his private land and should be treated as such. Don’t just use it as your personal walk way, then be surprised and angry if he stops you. You wouldn’t do this at home in your homeland so don’t do it here in Thailand!! (In response to the two 1-star reviews I’ve seen here).

Speak to him like he’s the human he is, he’s extremely friendly, has great stories, generous and the food he cooks at his little restaurant by the beach is amazing. I couldn’t vote this place enough.

My meeting with him:

I was stopped by him when walking to the beach as well and have a brief discussion with him about it. Completely fine and understandable that he seemed tired about it. His points were all
Valid and he wasn’t rude once. It’s even more understandable when you realise he has to do this every day, multiple times a day, for over 40 years because foreigners just do whatever they want !

I came back in the afternoon to eat lunch at his restaurant as an apology, he was very happy to see me again, we talked for ages, he gave me a small free desert, lots of compliments and just like that we’re friends already. I’ve already decided to eat breakfast and lunch here for the rest of the month.

Honestly, just treat him with respect like you should be doing with everyone on this island and he’ll make your stay a great one.

I also spoke to the people staying at his bungalows, they all love it there and they all love him and his sister too, they come every year always back to him and no where else, it’s become a community for them now.

Each visit is a pleasure and I look forward to it again when I revisit too!

Have been staying at Seabreeze for 20 years. Piya, the owner, along with his his sister Honey are the friendliest and most gracious people on the island. The bungalows are comfy, beachside and cheap! You get exactly what you pay for - no issues. A lot of people complaining he is rude and stops people walking along. It’s his home aswell as his business. Also, he has plenty of signage directing people to access the beach by the public roads .. doesn’t deserve any of the one star reviews posted by said people who should maybe pay notice to the signs? Lovely stay as always this year! Thank you Piya!

As the sign says they Treat you Like Family - awesome beach resort - excellent customer service

The lady at the reception was very nice! Gave us a discount, showed us the room before we booked and offered us free water bottles, "as many as you want, no problem", she also spoke pretty good English.
We also met the director/manager of the hotel and he was also very nice and friendly, he helped us out with the included breakfast (we had booked a tour that begins before the breakfast), offered us to check out late if we wanted, and was a great guy in general.

The hotel itself does show its age, but the rooms and bedsheets were clean and the AC worked properly, the shower had good pressure and hot water (they have Phillips water heaters, which work great!).

Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Great hotel for the price ! The rooms are clean and the pool is great . The breakfast isn't buffet but you can choose what type of eggs you want etc.

Great place. Very good location, a minute walk from lamai beach. The rooms are nice and clean. The staff is really nice.

Visited Seabreeze with a study group, the staff was excellent! Everyone was super nice and helpful. The hotel is just across the street from the beach and breakfast area, great food, lovely view of the beach, and the Thai massages we're wonderful as well.
I can't wait to go back!
