Koh Samui, Thailand - Beach Republic, the original premier beach destination and Ocean Club in Koh Samui has been honored with multiple awards in the 2012 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice® Hotel Awards. Ranked higher than the prestigious
W Retreat Samui, the ever-popular Four Points By Sheraton Bangkok, and the new
Le Méridien Chiang Mai, Beach Republic earned 5th place in the category of the Top 25 Trendiest Hotels in Thailand and 14th place in the category of the Top 25 Trendiest Hotels in Asia, while the onsite Beach Republic Asian Fusion Spa was also recognized as one of Thailand's best.

"Beach Republic is extremely honored to earn these significant awards from one of the most respected names in the industry," said Tim Dean-Smith, owner of the resort. "The fact that we are able to achieve this in such a competitive environment, speaks volumes of the attractiveness of the facilities and amenities we provide I would like to offer a huge thank you to all those who voted for us and I congratulate all of our dedicated team members for helping to make this award possible."

Now in its tenth year, the annual TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards honour the world’s best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travellers. Unlike any other hotel honours, TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winners are based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions from travellers around the world.

“With the help of millions of travellers around the globe, TripAdvisor is thrilled to recognise the world’s most outstanding hotels for the tenth year of the Travellers’ Choice Awards,” said Christine Petersen, president, TripAdvisor for Business. “From the best bargain hotels to best luxury hotels, remarkable service, value and quality are the hallmarks of our Travellers’ Choice winners.”

As TripAdvisor has continued its growth globally, featuring sites in 30 countries and in 21 languages, the Travellers’ Choice Hotels awards now highlight a broader range of spectacular properties across the globe.
