The Roof

The drive up: saw some reviews talking about how terrifying it was and it almost put us off, but so glad we went. The 4x4 shuttle feels safe and the roads are smoothly paved - it’s just super steep up/down. Definitely don’t attempt the drive yourself. Order immediately upon arrival if having food. Took 50 mins from we ordered and it wasn’t even busy. The food was mixed but I enjoyed my green curry dish. You can also go just for a drink, they have a huge selection. Overall: The views are amazing and I recommend going for sunset to see it both in daylight and lit up. The restaurant itself is lovely and worth a visit if only for a drink. Also: book in advance. Would be a shame to make it up there and have to turn around. We were a group of 11 (5 small kids under 5yo and they still gave us an amazing table with “proper” chairs - not bean bags).

We had a lovely time at the bar - a little expensive but what you would expect for the view. Food was delicious. Our only issue was a large German family of maybe 14 who ruined the experience for a lot of people. They let their kids run around whilst they sat down having dinner, screaming into the fans and jumping on the netting and throwing cushions. My issue is 1 the parents were sitting at the table and there was more than enough adults to watch them and that the staff did nothing even though they spotted this behaviour ruining other dinners experience. To add to this when it came to leaving the whole family pushed in front of us when it came to getting the shuttle down the hill. They could also have easily put the children on their laps or scooted up but inconveniently chose not to. They then rudely advised us they were their first even though this was a lie, we had just been standing back next to reception as instructed to bu staff. Irritatingly the staff did not intervene. Only issue with this place is its not cheap compared to other dinners and restaurants in Koh samui so I would expect staff to hold other dinners to a certain level of behaviour and step in when it is not being shown. The staff then advised ‘there’s another one coming’ while there was also two spots in the front of the van which was then taken by two staff members finished work for the day… from our perspective having worked in hospitality I would’ve offered these two seats to the guests to make the situation better.

Beautiful place but the food wasn't worth the price, good but expensive and nothing special. I've been in many restaurant and paying for food over 1,200THB i get same food and probably even better for 500THB. But the view, atmosphere and everything was amazing. Staff very friendly. Gonna go there again but only to relax, get couple drinks and enjoy.
