Gym at Sheraton Samui Resort
Gym equipment is generally adequate with decent range (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, weights), but a significant recent complaint about lack of air conditioning raises concerns about usability in tropical climate.
Recent reviews from May–June 2026 emphasize good maintenance and equipment; however, a March 2026 review about lack of air conditioning is concerning and suggests a potential recent unresolved issue. The March complaint predates the positive May–June reviews, raising questions about whether the air conditioning problem persists or was a temporary condition.
What the reviews tell us
Equipment range is adequate, including treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, cable machine, dumbbells, and mat space for yoga/stretching
Gym is regularly described as well-maintained and well-equipped by recent international reviewers
Critical limitation: lack of air conditioning renders gym unusable during hot and humid weather, which is problematic in Thailand's tropical climate
No specific complaints about equipment age or deterioration, though recent condition is not clearly confirmed
The Sheraton Samui Resort gym receives mixed but generally positive assessments regarding equipment range and maintenance. Multiple recent reviewers from diverse countries (Australia, Italy, Russia) confirm the gym is well-equipped with adequate machinery. One detailed Norwegian reviewer specifically notes the presence of 2 treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, cable machine, benches, dumbbells, and mat space, providing concrete evidence of a reasonable equipment range. However, a March 2026 review raises a significant red flag: the gym lacks air conditioning, rendering it essentially unusable—a critical issue in Koh Samui's tropical climate. This contradictory experience suggests variable conditions or a recent problem that may not have been resolved. The lack of country affiliation for the negative claim limits context, but the severity of the complaint (equipment being entirely unusable) substantially tempers otherwise positive equipment-range feedback.
Air conditioning conflict affects usability assessment
Four claims praise equipment and maintenance (claims 250881, 252234, 246446, 258726), but one claim (255992 from March 2026) states the gym was not air conditioned and therefore unusable. This is a material contradiction regarding functionality. It is unclear whether the air conditioning issue was a temporary problem that has since been resolved (given later positive reviews) or persists but was not mentioned by subsequent reviewers. The March review predates the May–June positive reviews by 2–3 months, suggesting possible remediation, but this is not explicitly confirmed.
