Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort<\/a> invited Milesopedia to stay at the resort. No remuneration was received for the realization of this report: the opinions remain mine and were not influenced in any way.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Anantara hotel chain has two hotels on the island of Koh Samui: The Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort<\/a> where I spent the first two nights of my stay and the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort<\/a> where I spent the last two nights.<\/p>\n

The two hotels differ in various ways, notably in their configuration, location, but also in the type of room available.<\/p>\n

Anantara hotels have their own GHA Discovery loyalty program,<\/a> with more than 800 hotels in 100 countries worldwide. Currently, there are no hotels for the group in North America.<\/p>\n

To book your stay with points, you have several options. You can use your Aeroplan points by booking through the Aeroplan website. Aeroplan points can be earned with the ®<\/sup> Aeroplan®<\/sup> Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/td-aeroplan-visa-infinite-privilege-card-qc\/\" rel=\"noindex\">TDMD<\/sup> Visa Infinite Preferred* Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”253496″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Another way to reduce the bill for booking an independent hotel is to use the points for a statement credit with a credit card with travel rewards<\/a> or cash back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Examples include the Platinum<\/sup> Card®<\/sup> from American Express<\/a>, the ®<\/sup>\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/world-elite-mastercard-from-national-bank\/\" data-wct-parsed=\"1\">National Bank’s World Elite Mastercard®<\/sup><\/a> and the Scotiabank Visa Infinite* Passport®<\/sup> Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort<\/a> is less than 20 minutes from Koh Samui Airport. It borders the beautiful beach of Bophut.<\/p>\n

The beach also provides immediate access to Fisherman’s Village, where there are many restaurants, stores and a night market.<\/p>\n

The large Central Samui shopping mall is 10 minutes from the hotel. A free shuttle is offered twice a day to get there (going between 12:00 and 4:00 pm and returning between 1:00 and 5:00 pm).<\/p>\n

As soon as I arrived, I was taken care of by the valet who took my luggage and led me to the reception for the check-in formalities. While the agent checked me in, I was offered juice and a refreshing towel.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”251691″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Having arrived at 12:00 pm, 2 hours before the check-in time provided by the hotel, my room was not yet ready. So I took the opportunity to walk around the complex and take pictures. The lobby is beautiful and very different from the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui hotel, which is open plan.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”251687″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A library with a multimedia area (Mac and printer) is accessible from the reception. The room is air-conditioned and is often occupied by people waiting for a shuttle or a cab, but also by people doing remote work. The room is very well arranged to work with a vast central table; the only drawback is that there is no electrical outlet nearby for a laptop, but there are various cables to charge a cell phone.<\/p>\n

It is impossible to miss the magnificent pond and its giant water lilies. It reminded me a lot of the famous Pamplemousses garden I had visited a month before in Mauritius.<\/p>\n

The Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort<\/a> has 106 rooms and villas:<\/p>\n
