Visitor Reviews
Zazen omg it’s amazing.Koh Samui must do ! This venue came highly recommended to us and it lived up to all expectations.On walking in through the magnificent gardens to the restaurant you are met by the most attentive staff .You will be captivated by the restaurant which is absolutely gorgeous.We had a table on the waterfront it was magnificent. We chose the seafood banquet omg to die for ….yes it was so fresh ,delicious and the presentation (see pics ) The wine list was extensive as well ,we chose a Pinot Grigio from Italy paired beautifully. Dessert was amazing Zazen has absolutely nailed it …the attention to detail,the food choices ,the atmosphere and the decor which I believe was updated maybe a year ago. I found the staff to be so engaging and happy to help with dietary requirements and above all very attentive without over doing it Not forgetting the incredible backdrop This would be an amazing venue for a function On another note I was fortunate to have their Signature Aromatherapy massage let me tell you if you can just do it !!!! Bliss so professional One last thing the gift shop was great for those last minute gifts for home
We had an absolutely amazing experience at this beach bar and resort! Everything was simply perfect from start to finish. The attention to every single detail truly impressed us – you can really see how much care and effort has been put into creating such a beautiful atmosphere. The resort itself is stunning, with breathtaking surroundings and a relaxing vibe that makes you feel at home instantly. The beach bar is fantastic – great drinks, wonderful ambiance, and exceptional service. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We were especially amazed by the pool area. The effort and dedication put into maintaining it and designing the space around it is outstanding. It’s clean, stylish, and perfectly arranged for both relaxation and enjoyment. Overall, we are beyond satisfied and truly impressed. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a perfect getaway!
We had the best time at Zazen Resort which is absolutely exceptional. The setting is stunning, with lush tropical gardens beautifully maintained and a peaceful beachfront that feels private and exclusive. The villas are spacious, tastefully decorated, and offering the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The staff was also incredibly kind, attentive, and always smiling, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The restaurant is another highlight. We really enjoyed the delicious food whether for breakfast, lunch, or for the theme dinner nights by the sea. We loved to chill by the pool and the beach all day and enjoy the amazing food and beautiful setting !
