The Secret Pool Villas by The Library Koh Samui

We upgraded our room to the Bookmark it was huge, largest bed I’ve ever stayed in. Clean with a Full sized fridge, day bed, lounge area and study desk with Mac PC. Shower was large and water pressure good. Bidet toilet also. We had a jacuzzi in our room which didn’t work consistently. Maintenance had to be called to use it and every morning the water had dropped and was nearly empty, The bathroom lighting needs attention very dark not great to do make up in. Breakfast is a la carte. It’s okay, nothing to rave about. Pool areas exceptional and clean along with the bathrooms in common areas. All in all a great experience and location is top notch for beach and Main Street.

The best part of the property is the pool and the Restaurant page. You do not have to stay here to access pages pool. I stayed on page 7 and the room was large and clean. The bed is a mattress on an elevated floor but it was extremely comfortable. The sheets very soft. Water pressure in shower amazing. The hotel service was fine but not five star worthy. Food at the restaurant was great during dinner. I ordered the Massaman curry with sea bass. Very nice. Highly recommend. Certificates on computer in room need to be updated so I wasn’t able to use. I was able to use the computer at the lobby so that is a plus but if you are expecting five star like St. Regis etc. then you may be disappointed. The part of the beach this hotel is on is swimmiable but not as calm as some other parts )towards the other end past Love beach club). I did like that there were two swimming pools and one was exclusively for hotel guests and they did try to keep casual beach goers and instagramers away. Breakfast was beautiful but room temperature. Not freshly prepared of heated as it could have been. Stay only if you get a good deal under $300 USD per night. I wanted to live it but it was just ok to me.

If any hotel deserves to be called a design hotel, it is certainly HTE LIBRARY. Everything has been designed first class and I was completely delighted. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The hotel is ideal for someone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the party mile. Will be back!

Lovely hotel with lovely staff, we stayed in one of the secret chapter villas which is hidden away behind a secret wall, we had a few issues with ants and the cleanliness of our villa bought this up with the general manager (Chutima) who came to us during breakfast this seemed to be ignored and nothing was done about it, spoke to reception to speak to Chutima the following day and was told she doesn’t work weekends so our issues were totally forgot about however we spoke to second to next general manager on reception and she made the changes and assured everything will be fixed before we come back from our tour. Once we had returned from our day tour we were told we had been upgraded to another room - the editor which was another hidden villa behind a secret wall. This was much better, a lot cleaner. The breakfast was amazing, you can choose from three dishes and it’s served in the page restaurant and you can eat inside or outside by the beach. The chapter villas and the editor villa are hidden away which ensure total privacy, and both have their own pools and jacuzzi so you can swim at your own pleasure and there is a Bluetooth speaker so you sing to tune as you swim. Both villa have a pantry, dining area , sitting room, a large daybed with a tv your can turn 180°, large bathroom with two basins and dressing area and a spacious bedroom with a 11-foot bed. Top quality tea and coffees and 6 different snacks are provided daily during house keeping and a dessert is delivery every evening between 7-8pm. We ordered room service from the page restaurant and I can not fault the quality of the food. Outside of the villas, the hotels can do with some TLC, just general maintenance and the hotel will look as good as the photos on their website, they have a little bar area outside by the main pool which personally if they looked after and bought it back to life it would actually do a lot of the hotel. The staff are amazing and very helpful, from the time you call them to them arriving is close to a 2 to 3 mins. Very impressed. The location is great, just 5 minutes walk to Central mall and nightlife places if you want to, but also far enough from the nightlife to be peaceful.

Great design, service, located next to the mall and directly on the beach..very quite, clean atmosphere..we stayed at the smart room (standard) and it was just fantastic and above our expectations. We will come back!
