Wyndham Garden Samui: The 6% Guarantee Covers Only 3 of the Complex's Buildings — Check Before You Buy

A guarantee that's real for some buildings and absent for others is easy to blur into "the project has a 6% guarantee" in casual conversation. The source materials are actually specific about which buildings qualify — worth checking a unit's exact building number against that list before treating the guarantee as automatic.

Multiple buildings (numbered 1–11 and 14) with studios, 1.5-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments, leasehold ownership structured as a "Leasehold-Thai Share." Managed by Wyndham Garden, a 4-star international brand; average nightly rate cited at 3,200 THB.

Hotel Program (Buildings #2, #6, #7 2nd & 3rd floor only): the hotel team manages all rental and maintenance at no extra cost to the owner, operating on a 50/50 gross rental income split — the operator keeps 50% and covers all related expenses (utilities, cleaning, maintenance fee) out of that share. Guaranteed return: 6%/year for the first 3 years. After year 3, income comes from the hotel's rental pool at whatever rate occupancy supports. Owners get 14 free low-season nights per year.

Sample unit pricing (Phase 2 price list, Buildings 8/9/10/11/14 — outside the guaranteed-building list above):

• Studios (Building 8, ~32.8 m²): roughly 3,480,000–3,770,000 THB
• Studios (Building 9, ~29.6 m²): roughly 2,900,000–3,180,000 THB — matches the catalog's stated entry price
• 2-bedroom units (Building 9, ~58.6–59.5 m²): roughly 5,750,000–6,590,000 THB
• 2-bedroom units (Building 10, ~68.75 m²): roughly 8,350,000 THB
• Studios (Building 11, ~31.7–33.9 m²): roughly 3,500,000–3,780,000 THB
• Studios (Building 14, ~29.6–31.85 m²): roughly 2,960,000–3,550,000 THB

The developer recommends the Hotel Program specifically for investors planning to stay less than two weeks per year, since it removes the need to self-manage rentals.

Does every unit at Wyndham Garden Samui get the 6% guarantee?

No — the source materials name only Buildings #2, #6, and #7 (2nd & 3rd floor) as covered by the Hotel Program's 6%/3-year guarantee. The Phase 2 price list we reviewed lists units in Buildings 8, 9, 10, 11 and 14, which fall outside that named list. Confirm which building a specific unit is in before assuming the guarantee applies.

What happens to income after the 3-year guarantee ends?

The owner earns from the hotel's shared rental pool at whatever rate occupancy supports, once the project is fully complete — no fixed number is guaranteed past year 3.

What's the actual revenue split under the Hotel Program?

50/50 of gross rental income — the operator keeps 50% but covers all related costs (utilities, cleaning, maintenance) from that share, so the owner's 50% is not further reduced by those expenses.
