“White Lotus gardens, cramped rooms”
Anantara Bophut Koh Samui is a stunningly landscaped resort — the White Lotus filming spot — with Bill Bensley gardens that shift scene by scene, a beloved spa with outdoor garden showers, attentive beach staff who teach kayaking, a clean relaxing pool with sunbed rules that keep availability, fresh-juice breakfasts with a fantastic egg station, and staff like Ploy who reply instantly and arrange anniversary surprises. The flipside: rooms are smallish and plainer than the grounds, quilts felt damp, the sea floor is silty, connecting-room walls leak noise, the territory is small and the pool crowds with families.
