Hotels rarely open on time, and this is Thialand. We'll be lucky if it actually opens within less than a year of the projected date. And there's no way it will bw bookable until much closer to the actual opening date.

Its listed as a tier 4 property on the marriott website. Can be found by filering for new hotels and category levels.

OxonFlyer posted that this property offers free breakfast based on this on the Marriott site:

But when you click on the property website, it doesn't seem to mention free breakfast anywhere.
Cheers.

As always, believe it when you see it. And never, ever book the first opening dates because they won't be open. Best to wait six months.

Ritz Carlton Ko Samui accepting reservations!
I just booked 6 nights starting February 27th 2018 using points. It's listed as a category 4 property. Plan on canceling reservation at Vana Belle to stay here. Hopefully someone posts a review before my trip with any upgrade info for Platinum members.

Depending on the Vana Belle cancellation policy, you might want to keep that ressie until you know for certain the RC is open.
Cheers.

Thanks. You are correct. It is Tier 4 and I did follow your recommendation and kept duplicate reservation at VB to see how things look in February.
