Best service!! Very efficient and well-mannered!
“The food was fresh and delicious. If you like quiet surrounding it’s the perfect place. Very safe for families! The pics of the resorts are actual! A bit of a walk to the beach, but it was worth it as the water was clean, and literally had the beach to ourselves.”

Food and nature make an amazing experience
“To be honest most of the restaurants in Cox's Bazar are good and maintain a similar quality, the only exception is their price and service quality. I've been to sampan beach resort only once, I like their food, and the location is a bit too far from the main town but the surrounding nature is really good.”
