Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Vladimir5 contributionsI recommend highly one travel agency: Meeboon in Chaweng, Koh Samui and more specially: Vira.
She organised few perfect trips for us with Mr.Tu and all went well !
This agency and Vira made a lot of organization and arrangements for our big group of tourist, I highly recommend them !
Attentive and reliable !Written 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was very windy while we were there so we didn't go swimming in the water but wandering up the beach was pleasant.
I will say that the hackers that walk up and down the beach can be a bit pushy though, we had the same person pass us a few times & each time they tried to sell us something we didn't want or need.Written 13 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful and clean beach, not busy at all. Very relaxing and with possibilities to find a shadow under a coconut tree.Written 16 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is also popularly known as Grandfather and Grandmother rocks due to its unique formation which looks like male and female organs. It's very picturesque and visitors love to click a lot of pictures on these amazing rocks. The beach is quite small. There are quite a few souvenir shops nearby. We loved eating here coconut ice cream served in a half broken coconut at a stall.Written 2 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JPJEast Malling, UK13 contributionsGreat beach for those based further down from Chaweng in Chaweng Noi.
Lovely sand and great beach bars / restaurants. Other beaches were not exactly packed when we were here but Chaweng Noi was particularly quiet.
Better than Lamai beach by far although not as much going on. If you like the quieter feel (and no driving baselines you get on other beaches) this may be the one for you.
Facing the see, very pretty. Facing the land, can be a little ‘messy’ and ‘concretey’ for Euro tastes. Same most places on Koh Samui though.
(Bit of a trek from Chaweng beach along the road without pavement, and not much to gain from doing so, so wouldn’t bother if you aren’t in Chaweng Noi to begin with.)Written 4 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This beach was one I specifically checked on this website to determine which beach may be the best to enjoy. It did not disappoint!
Free entry and since I was there in December, it wasn’t too hot, but still fully enjoyable. The beach is located just before all these bungalows set right near the shore and they were quite cool and I imagine, quite nice to stay in of you want to be right on the beachfront!
Anyways, you can actually go out quite far and the water doesn’t get deep. Not a lot of people there, and it was the perfect place to just relax, enjoy, and burn off a nice afternoon after what was already a beautiful day trip to different sites around the island!Written 16 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A lovely bay with nice soft sand with a gentle slope into the warm sea, which is calm by comparison to Chaweng. There are plenty of restaurants and massage huts, you can lie out on the beach as there is a decent amount of shade or hire loungers, about 200 baht each with a parasol. Also bean bags and towels available.
Sat outside Pure for the day and chilled with tasty snacks and cold drinks. All very clean, good wi fi and a hospitable owner!Written 24 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

At the time I went there were no other hikers along the path (8-10am). The hike includes sheer rock face with ropes as there is moss and it is slippery, and rickety plank bridges. It is easy to fall here. There are pools to bathe in along the way. It takes around 1 hour round trip walking from the elephant kingdom at the base to top and back down. I recommend wearing hiking shoes for this and wearing lots of bug spray.Written 7 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jodie259Melbourne, Australia27 contributionsYou need to drive up a very windy road with loads of pot holes... but it's so worth it! I have 3 kids (8, 11,13yo) and we had a ball. It was great to get up close with the animals. Pat the deer, the emu, the goats and horse. Some great photo opportunities with the birds too. Sure... some of the pidgeons are bright colours.... but they're all free to roam around.
The pool is AMAZING. The views spectactular.
We spent 5 hours at Paradise Park this time.
We had been there 5 years prior, and enjoyed it so much.... we came back.
The price is great.... although they considered my 11yo girl "an adult"... because she's taller than my 13yo boy. LOL.
You can take your own food & drinks.... take a towel and enjoy the day. Make sure you check out all the animals. And they appear to be doing some renovations.Written 20 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We have whole long tail boat to ourselves, 4 family and 8 adults and 8 kids. Very interesting trip and hassle free. Kids love it!Written 2 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- OrHaifa, Israel1 contributionIncredible experience! The staff are very nice and welcoming. They showed us the elephants and shared their story and from where they were saved from. The feeding and bathing experience was incredible and you could feel the connection to the elephants.
This is a must visit experience for anyone visiting Koh Samui!
When you visit, please consider a donation to this wonderful place. The staff are volunteers, and the money goes directly to the elephants.Written 14 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
