Ampersand Resort

The most amazing hotel we have ever stayed in and run with love from the owner and all the staff . Just book it and you will see this is paradise .we spent 6 days at the hotel very quite but we could telex with all the normal facilities and with also a private beach .the owners are wonderfull helpful people and no matter what you required they were their to help you . We will return in 2025 to be Tast this magic once again .

First of all I will start by saying that this review will be of a slightly different sort than usual, though I it will still serve the same purpose. I will start by asking anyone who is considering staying at Ampersand resort not to ask the question "is this resort good enough for me" and instead ask "am I good enough for this resort?". I say this for the simple reason that if you do not appreciate this place for what it is, then I would be dismayed to know that such a wonder had been wasted on someone. Now you may be saying to yourself "okay..... weird to have such a strong and off-putting opinion about a place that you only visited shortly", and it might be! I am however going to try to convince those who think they are worthy to visit Ampersand resort, as I have found it an enchanting experience that deserves more praise and attention than it gets. Let us start with the owner and founder of Ampersand before speaking about the resort itself. For all intents and purposes, to speak of one is to speak of the other. This man by the name of Muky is the soul of Ampersand, and I'm quite convinced that when he dies he will continue to live on as the Ampersand resort where he will continue to make it's guests as welcomed and cared for as possible. Imagine some super advanced AI that controls a spaceships lige support systems. The main word here is "care", because this man really really cares. He has meticulously drawn and designed every corner of this resort according to his vision, even constructing some of the furniture, as well as setting up the electrical lighting and sound system in the restaurant himself. All of this done for the sake of "care". We received some back story to the reason behind this when Muky confided in my mother, sister and I, that while he had received excellent service before, he had never experienced real care at any of the hotels or resorts he had stayed at throughout his life. Now I must say that after a week under Muky's care, every other hotel/high end resort experience has seemed hollow and vapid in comparison since. This soft spoken man will charm himself into the hearts of those willing to give him a chance, and his earnestness is like a warm embrace that is difficult to say goodbye to. Even as a staunch introvert when it comes to hotel staff (as I am of the opinion that one does not travel to see the inside of a hotel room), I quickly realized that the crown jewel of this place was the eccentric, intelligent, hilarious, cultured, genuine, sensitive, tasteful and motivated person called Muky. All of these aspects are present in everything from the architecture and design, to the food, the service and even the sanitation of the resort. I promise that none of these practical aspects are lacking. However, I am telling you, the reader, that you can go to one of the hundreds of resorts on Koh Samui and get a streamlined experience that will satisfy your needs, but if you want a destination that provides an experience,
