I'm glad you had a great time!
May I ask why didn't you use the free night certificate towards your stay?

This sounds awesome but I thought I read something earlier about how this hotel doesn't participate in this program. I could be crossing my info. However, when I I went on the website, I didn't see CKS listed as a participating hotel.

Free night certificate does not work at CKS - what it does is that it lets you book a room at 11,250 THB nett (which is a fantastic price for CKS). I was staying on points this time so didn't make sense to use the certificate here. I believe I will use it on a one night stay at Conrad Bangkok later this year.

Planning to take my wife for a 4 night stay with just the 2 of us without our kids for the first time in 7 years. I would love to know if July is a decent time of the year to visit CKS and are the prospects for an upgrade good for diamond members that time of the year?

Visited Conrad Koh Samui with my girlfriend last July to enjoy our week off for the 4th of July Holiday. We booked a standard room award rate (95k/nt) and as Diamond were upgraded to Premium villa a day or two before arrival
The weather that time of year was great despite the forecasts and the hotel is one of our favorites in the Hilton portfolio.

If you are using points why not consider 5 nights (5th night free)

Climate wise July is not the best month in Thailand, but as you can see above it can also be fine. In fact January is considered one of the dry months but they have had exceptional amounts of rain this year. I also tend to go when I am able to and not when the climate charts say it is best because it usually doesn't matter that much.

Free bus shuttle to Chaweng?
Anyone know if the hotel still offers a free shuttle bus to Chaweng?
Also, are people still using Mr Samui to get from airport to hotel? I’d rather book airport transfer via the Conrad as opposed to sending a text to someone in Thailand, but I understand Mr Samui is much cheaper?

The hotel transfer was 1,500 THB each way using the Toyota Fortuner in August and there was no problem stopping at a Tesco Lotus on the way. I would ask the hotel for a quote to confirm.

I recently confirmed a Toyota Fortuner with the hotel for an upcoming stay. Airport round-trip is 3000 THB and is applied to room bill. I think this is a fair price for a private ride considering it is at the opposite side of island (and also yields points)!
I'm interested in the Chaweng shuttle, not heard about that before. Anyone with more details on it? I could consider taking this to Chaweng for a day/evening trip and a local taxi back.

Booked a room in the Conrad Samui on a sale. They came back to me the next day, informing me, I was upgraded to the residential wing (Diamond) and to a 2-Bedroom King Ocean View Pool Villa. 
Now I'm curious, which room numbers belong to the residential wing and which villa I should choose, assuming there was a choice?
