    Took me a while to catch up with your videos. This series will help me to determine wich hotel to choose for my next trip. We have been plaing to come to Koh Samui for a while now. Last weekend we tried Conrad Bangkok and Rosewood Bangkok- both very valid options for different use cases. Amazing video again here. You have quickly become my favorite channel when it comes to travel- i feel you create just the type of video i always wanted to make myself.

    Always enjoy the hotel reviews, and this one was fantastic. As always, your attention to all the little details you comment on makes your videos stand out from others.
    Let me add to your pet peeve because it's beginning to become mine as well. We as a family checked into a Holiday Inn (Australia) to celebrate my parents' special wedding anniversary in March, booked through IHG and used loyalty points + pay (so they knew we would be coming AND could easily contact me), mentioned prior that it was a special occasion and requested a cake to be in their room on arrival along with sparkling wine. Went to the restaurant to make a booking for the celebration dinner the following night only to be told that the restaurant was closed for dinner both nights of our stay due to a conference, no issue we would do lunch then, nope closed for lunch and dinner both days AND no room service was available, add to our misery try getting a local restaurant open on a Monday night, l was not happy!! Repeat performance at a Novotel (Australia) over Easter, the only restaurant was closed at 5pm (once again for a function) we found this out only after going down to enjoy a pre dinner drink, no big deal we would have a couple of drinks then just order room service you guessed it none of that either because of the function. At no point on booking, check-in, or pre arrival interaction, did anyone mention restaurant closures or room service unavailable. A simple email in advance (given conferences and weddings are booked months if not a year in advance) so guests can make alternative arrangements would be common sense if not just common courtesy.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve not been, buts it’s always been on my short list. That said, I’ve heard mixed reviews. I **think** it may fit into the same ‘category’ as the Ritz Carlton Samui in that, it caters quite a bit to program loyalists and redemption bookings. Properties like this I always find to be impressive from a far, but underwhelming up close. The views from Conrad are certainly stunning but even in room tours I’ve seen on TH-cam… the content creators are always gushing over how incredible it is to have a private pool villa and bc of that they don’t notice how… cookie cutter it looks.

    A little surprised you only dinged it two points for the dining situation, but I guess it speaks of what you thought of the rest of the place.

    Hi Kevin. Would love for you to review Six Senses Con Dao, since you have already been to Ninh Van Bay and compare. For whatever reason, that property will cost double what you paid for Samui! I would love to see if that's worth it in your opinion or not. Thanks!

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Many have disagreed with me but personally I do not think there are any circumstances where $1000+/night is warranted in VN (for a 1BR villa/room). At some point, it’s just a silly money grab. When Con Dao goes on sale for around $650 or less, I’d be happy to try it out.

    Hi Kevin, I was wondering between Six Senses, Vana Belle or Belmond Napasai, which one would you recommend for a solo female traveler who has never been to Koh Samui? I'm planning a trip there in January to decompress and eat lots of good food --and I'm finding that prices are high at this peak travel time. I'm looking for a place where I'm not surrounded by honeymooners or drunk/annoying party-goers and really just want to walk along the beach, and enjoy stunning sunsets. I enjoyed both of your videos between Six Senses, Vana Belle and Belmond Napasai but now I can't decide between them. Anyway, I also wanted to say THANK YOU for staying anonymous since I've seen travel influencers get treated so much better than us common folks that I find it really hard to believe the reviews being posted these days. Also, I really do appreciate you being fair and enjoy all the comments you point out. It's pretty much why I love traveling around the world, so many amazing hotels and experiences to be had!

A place you still miss on the list in order to compare. Once you are here, I think you will feel what I mean. Funny, I have ordered some rock shaped pillows 😂

    • @tfft
      @tfft  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No I never have them at home. Actually, I only eat breakfast when I’m on the road lol. As far as breakfast dishes go, I feel Eggs Bene and French Toast can say A LOT about a kitchen’s skill level, technique and creativity.
      Eggs: Properly runny yolk? Properly emulsified Hollaindaise? (Also easy to see short cuts here since there are many ‘quick’ ways to make something that is hollaindaise-like). Also, Is it a proper English muffin? A sad ‘English muffin’ or something else totally different and creative?
      French Toast: It’s very easy to make, but the quality of bread is a big factor. Also, is it a tried and true recipe? Or something totally creative? Something reflective of the region?
      A lot of the time I only have one night at a property I’m reviewing, so I need to get as much info out of as few dishes as possible to be able to comment on the full food program- dishes like these help a lot with that. I used to often do the same with Caesar salads but too many people kept complaining about Caesar salads in every video 😅

      It honestly wouldn’t be likely. I rotate email addresses and phone numbers to make it more difficult. If anyone every upgraded me AFTER I gave them my passport, then perhaps, but this upgrade was already prepared before I arrived. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

      I thought that once or twice, but then realised that he doesn't always travel alone (ordered 3 meals in a restaurant) and on another occasion had booked two rooms (he mentioned needing them being near each other) this would definitely throw Hotels off especially if his companions/friends/family booked the room or it was booked in another guests name when using points as part of a loyalty program so l think Kevin is cleverly disguised 🥸 (his names probably Jack 😉)

    It's impressive how fast you have become one of my favourite TH-camrs to watch haha, super elegant videos.
    Any info on when your video on the Kimpton kimalay will be out? This video has strongly made me consider Six Senses for Koh Samui, but the only available prices atm are just shy of 800usd per night for the pool villas. For Bangkok we are also strongly considering the Kimpton per your recommendation, but are also looking at the four seasons after your video haha

    Kevin, I appreciate your commentary but one is not a mountain goat at the age of 75 years. I want to stay at Koh Samui & Phuket but no hills thankyou. Your suggestions would be grateful. Take Care. Regards John Mc ( Would like to be near Shops and maybe somewhere to have a Beer or 2 with my Future wife.) We are just looking around before we fly to Singapore then onto Brisbane Australia. We will then get married a settle in Australia.

    That is one very beautiful place to recoop. I agree that the resorts need to manage the events better so as not to hinder the experience and facility availability of resort guests. As far as the strange upgrade goes, maybe you are somehow recognized by the GEM and got a partial VVIP treatment. :)

      I pay close attention to paperwork when I’m arriving to see if there is a change after I give them my passport (I rotate emails and phone numbers so it wouldn’t be possible to ID me before arrival). The paperwork with the upgrades was already printed out before hand. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
