Koh Samui

[Tilacno1]

Hi

I have a friend who wants to go Koh Samui in January. It will be his first trip there.

He wants a nice resort or hotel in a quiet situation on either Chaweng or Lamai beach and will be with his Thai wife

Price range 2000 to 3000 baht

I've read the hotel reviews but not many recent reviews.

If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I have stayed in Chaweng Villa resort, the Deluxe Rooms are very nice, the Garden view, so so and the Wooden bungalows, I wouldn't touch.

It's on a fantastic beach and is also in the centre of Chaweng, great location. But trying to get accomodation in January will be very difficult and maybe fairly pricey

A couple of years ago I stayed in the Lama Wata resort, it was fantastic, I think I only paid 1,500 Baht.

I have stayed at several hotels on Samui, but my favorite is Coral Bay Resort.

You can get discounted rates from some travel agents. Restaurant is top notch. My TGF also loves the place.

great deal for 1250 in Lamai. far superior to other lamai hotels at that price point.

 

MARINA BEACH RESORT (not marina Villa)

they are VERY slow at answering emails

 

 

didn't look at the Wanta, but it looks like an excellent deal also.

Is koh samui a better option then ko chang???

[IslandHopper]

It depends on what you are looking for. Chang is basically undeveloped, a nature lover's paradise. Samui is extremely well developed. The construction ongoing is amazing, yet the island remains wonderful with many entertainment options. Much more to do if you so desire. I would caution you however......Samui suffered terribly from flooding in December and the pictures were bad. A lot of damage. Those who live on Samui were unable to even get out to eat. Check for damage before you decide on a hotelr or ask board members who might have visited Samui since the floods.

lONG ISLAND RESORT at Lamai

for resorts go to http://samui.sawadee.com/

or Long Island Resort

Love the outdoor shower area

Some views from Lamai

The Imperial Boat House Hotel on Choeng Mong Beach is my favourite hotel in Thailand. I would well recommend paying the supplement and staying at the authentic BOat Suites. Excellent Hotel. Excellent location. Excellent facilities.

I stay at Rocky Resort I understand they are well above your price bracket but gee its just the most awesome spot on the island.

This hotel is the best on the Island in price, location,and cleanliness.

Check out the reviews not 1 bad review. I have stayed there every time I travel to Koh Samui . Please read the reviews they speak for themselves.
