The Stay Chaweng Beach Resort
"This hotel from the starters fantastic! Awesome customer service and very friendly and helpful! Nothing was to much trouble also gave great recommendations on were to eat and go! Rooms were spotless although on the smaller sideburns enough space for 2 people and having the balcony was a great addition. Breakfast was not a massive variety but what they had was excellent. Location was right in the middle of Chaweng and could not have been a more central location. Would definitely recommend The Stay to any body! Also great view just to chill and have a smoke overlooking the ocean"

Bhundhari Chaweng Beach Resort Koh Samui
"The hotel is just a few meters away from the beach. We had the balcony with no sea view and still got to see the ocean. It was beautiful would definitely stay here again. Although I would recommend to air out the room first as we dealt with humidity smell for the first two nights."
La Vida Samui
"Front desk: super friendly. 300 baht for loss card though so don’t lose it! WiFi worked well for my phone but I couldn’t sign in on the computer. A small strip of beach right in the back of the resort. It’s east facing so if you happen to be up around 5:30-6:30 it’s a great place to watch the sunrise if it isn’t cloudy. Breakfast starts at seven but they put the juice and water out before that. I got talked to as I tried to get the juice and ice water before the time. I also got talked to when I tried to bring an uneaten plate of fruit to my room after breakfast. That did annoy me I must say. It’s a little bit away from central samui (matters in the heat) but you got your own little strip of beach and it’s nice so I think it’s fine. The toilet lid was cheap feeling . Light seeped through a little bit in the morning. Important if you are partying until later . No real night light. If you can get it at a good price I would say go for it; there are better values out there for the nicer more expensive rooms."
