Pool at W Koh Samui
Pool features a beautiful infinity pool with stunning views and excellent maintenance, but may feel small and overcrowded during peak times due to excessive sunbed allocation.
Strong recent positive sentiment in 2026 reviews (August, July, May), with the capacity concern flagged in August 2025. Most recent reviews emphasize aesthetic and maintenance quality, suggesting either improvement or sustained high standard.
What the reviews tell us
Beautiful, well-maintained infinity pool with incredible views
Pool design and overall aesthetic quality consistently praised by recent reviewers
Pool may be disproportionately small relative to sunbed count and room capacity, risking overcrowding
Limited evidence on water temperature, safety features, hours of access, or functional capacity details
W Koh Samui's pool experience is predominantly positive, highlighted by multiple reviewers praising the main infinity pool's aesthetic appeal, design quality, and views. Recent reviewers (August 2026) specifically noted the beautiful, well-maintained pool with incredible vistas. However, a notable contradiction emerges regarding capacity: while the pool itself is celebrated for design and maintenance, one reviewer with specific knowledge of the property raised a significant concern that the pool is small relative to the number of sunbeds available, describing the sunbed-to-pool ratio as "ridiculous" given the number of guest rooms. This suggests the pool experience may vary substantially depending on occupancy levels and time of visit, with aesthetic and maintenance quality appearing strong but functional capacity during peak periods potentially compromised.
Pool beauty vs. functional capacity concern
Reviewers consistently praise the pool's visual design, maintenance, and views (claims 469263, 473849, 479924, 469776). However, claim 481199 directly contradicts the implied capacity adequacy, stating the pool is "very small" with a "ridiculous" number of sunbeds relative to room count. This suggests guests may encounter overcrowding and limited lounge space during peak occupancy, despite the pool's aesthetic merit. The contradiction is not about quality of construction/design, but about whether the pool size matches actual guest volume.
