I arrived on Samui literally a couple of days before the New Year and there was no wide choice of hotels. I wanted to live on Chaweng in the thick of things before I go on retreat. In the pictures on the reservation site I liked the hotel with an interesting interior in the form of concrete niches in the rooms. Without thinking, it was him and I booked. When you often stay in hotels, sometimes pulls to try something unusual.

Price and reservation
In peak season 1800 baht / day for a standard bungalow in Pandora Lifestyle 
. Junior Suite 3000 baht, and a family bungalow in general 4,300 baht Standard in the off-season is 1100-1300 baht. As an everywhere, prices fall almost 2 times. I lived in a standard bungalow.
At first they seemed to want to move me somewhere else, then whether a class higher, or, conversely, lower, because there were no places free. But everything settled by itself and I did not move anywhere had to. So do not believe those who say that in peak season everything free and everywhere there are places. Yeah, ten times.

Be sure (and I insist) check for discounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. He is fast and easy will show you discounts in all existing reservation systems. AT the same Asia, for example, there are lots of offers on Agoda.com, which much more interesting than on exactly the same hotels in Booking.com.
For example, here is a direct link to the hotel: Pandora Lifestyle

Interior
If we talk about housing itself, on the one hand, it is quite the usual. Room normal size, good soft mattress, there is a separate sofa and a desk where the laptop can be put, shelves all sorts, large bathroom.
But, on the other hand, the room has a certain concrete design, over the bed lights in different colors — I don’t even know what to call this style. Caveman? 
For some reason, I live in the Flintstones reminded, if you remember such a cartoon. But better see photos, so it will be clearer.
It seemed to me, despite the fact that the hotel is quite cute, he a little tired already. But it seems just because of this concrete The design is not so noticeable. Whether actually initially The cave styling is made slightly old. Honestly rating overestimated (8.3), I would put less, somewhere 7.5-8.

Exterior
Small bungalow type hotel. But the bungalows are not separate, but connected to each other, this townhouse turns one-story. Arranged in a circle around the pool and restaurant. All rooms have one glass wall and the door to the outside.
I would like to say that he is quiet and calm – Yes, so maybe but due to the fact that the territory is very small and everything here is pretty compact, then you can hear any conversations – in the next rooms, in restaurant, by the pool. For example, while I write these lines, neighbors sit on the street near the entrance to your room and look at the phone some chinese tv series. And everything is heard perfectly (to them meters five). But in fairness, I note that in the evening and at night it was quiet.
The territory itself, although quite small, is very cozy. Despite the Thais’ love to roll everything into concrete (this hotel is not exception), somehow it looks very even. All the more green Also missing, for example, the glass wall of my bungalow was partially covered with shrubs. Really nice hosts corner nook made.
Breakfast is included in the price and it is so-so (at that price rooms). Lipton tea (but alright, it’s everywhere), and coffee is only soluble. Buttered toast and jam toasts less vegetables, yogurts from 7-11, and cereal with milk. Good that cereals and oats are also offered, and not just corn. It happens in simple hotels that only corn, and I do not really eat them. Of Hot you can choose 3 positions (see picture). Well, that’s all modestly. But in the restaurant itself they feed well, ordered a few Thai food, delicious.

But with the location of the hotel all is well. Near 7-eleven and Famaily Mart, across the road is Chaweng Beach, and that part of it, which is with breakwaters, so there will always be a quiet and peaceful sea. Near massage, restaurants, cafes, after all, this is the tourist street on the island. And if you walk 10 minutes you will find yourself in the heart of Chaweng (hotel as if from the edge of the district) and nightlife. Also somewhere around 20 minutes walk to Central shopping center Festival.
