Periodically I am asked about which hotel to prefer in This or that Thai resort, in particular, is asked about Samui. Therefore, I decided to make a selection of hotels on this island, that is make a small list of those hotels from which I would choose. Me and most maybe later will come in handy. Of course, it is better to rent a house on Samui for a long time and live, than to be content with a couple of weeks holidays, but this is not for everyone. Also if you have the ability to pay for maximum comfort, it makes sense consider hotels on Koh Samui with your beach.
If you can recommend any good hotel on Samui, please write in the comments, it is useful even to those who at home takes off, because one must live somewhere for the first few days, until looking for a house. Also on the blog there is a selection of hotels in Phuket (Kata Noah, Kata, Karon, Patong, Kamala, Bang Tao, Surin, Knighton).

Briefly about the beach
Maenam has a reputation as a family beach, due to the fact that is located away from the noisy centers of the island and, at the same time, has all the necessary infrastructure for a normal life. Relatively close to it there are three large hypermarkets. and the airport. Twenty minutes by car is the pier the ferry to the mainland SeaTran, and on Maenam itself The pier of catamarans Lomprayah is located.
This is one of the longest beaches of Samui, which throughout its The length of the beach varies slightly, but in general, the sea is everywhere equally excellent. The only areas of Maenam that are not very attractive to stay, are located near the pier Lomprayya near the mouths of small island rivers and in places of entry into the sea storm water. But in such places you can meet expensive villas.
The coastline of Maenam is not fully built up. Expensive hotels give way to resorts with one-bedroom bungalows, and those in their queue, replaced by vacant lots or unfinished complexes. Looking at the first-line hotels in Maenam, you can see offers of different price categories, both for people of the well-off, so for people accustomed to save.

Hotels in Bang Por Beach
Briefly about the beach
Bang Po Beach on Koh Samui is a more simplified version. Maenam Beach Stretching along the ring road, Bang Po has less lively infrastructure, there are almost no shops and banks, but a lot of private houses. Bang Po is attractive because located between Maenam and Nathon, and its not so active Spin up real estate agencies. The silence of this area attracts family people and supporters of a secluded island holiday. Here less often get noisy companies of young people, and life goes on calm and measured.
Bang Beach In some places looks abandoned, despite the rather dense coastline building. On the shore is a large number of cafes. The road has several convenience stores. stone and wood processing workshops, furniture stores and horticultural mini-markets.
There are not so many hotels here as on Maenam, but there are vacant lots and there are almost no stinkers. I will not say that there are any special, cool places, and places to avoid. Is it that the edges of the beach are bounded by stone placers, so hotels on right or left flanks have a less attractive seabed and entrance to the water.

Briefly about the beach
Bo Phut Beach is located in the part of the island that is included in the five largest and most well-developed areas of Samui. The location of Bo Phut can be considered the most advantageous among neighbors – Maenama, Chaweng, Chong Mona and Bang Raka. Easy and quick from here You can get to the airport, Bang Rack Pier, the three main Hypermarkets: Macro, Big C and Tesco Lotus on Chaweng. Bo phut is between the boring and sleepy Maenam and the noisy, never sleeping chaweng. Fifteen minutes from Bo Phut hidden small beaches of the northern part of Samui and many kilometers shores of Chaweng and Maenam.
The beach on Bo Phut is well equipped for a holiday resort, has a lot of rides and entertainment. Bo Phut is one of two inflatable sea castles for children (the second one is on Chaweng), Most beach rentals are organized, as well as Services are rented sea transport.
The entire coastline belongs to major hotels and resorts, who separated the beach from the island’s ring road. Отfashionable and very expensive hotel W-Retreat Koh Samui, where prices start at 90,000 baht per day (so it’s not in my review) and before the pier in the fishing village of Fisherman Village Bo Phut. After the pier shallow water and rocky bottom begin, so that interest for beach holiday this part of the island is not.

Therefore, one of the inexpensive options, the hotel Pelegrin Hotel Samui located in a noisy, tourist center area – near the pier. Brand new hotel (for 2014), run by friendly hosts. The location of the hotel is his plus and minus at the same time. On the one hand, under your windows a whole pedestrian street, completely filled with shops and cafes, but you understand – life is in full swing here. And on Fridays the street overlap from 5:00 pm until late at night to host the famous Samui “Night Market”.

Hotels on Chaweng Beach
Briefly about the beach
Chaweng Beach is conveniently located near the airport, but as far as possible from the pier in Nathon, which connects the island Samui from the mainland. Chaweng – the unofficial but unconditional capital entertainment on samui. This large settlement has the most numerous shops, banks, markets, and other useful places on the island. Chaweng has the largest fresh water reservoir, called Chaweng Lake. On the border between Chaweng and Bo Phut are three main supermarkets on the Samui: Macro, Tesco Lotus and Big C.
Despite its overpopulation, noise, crush, large the number of entertaining and selling personnel, Chaweng Beach is the pearl of Samui. It is sand and water) It is a pity that everything The rest can not be put anywhere. There are several sites on Chaweng beaches that vary in depth of the bottom, the width of the sandy strip and number of objects on the shore. Here you can sunbathe in shallow water, walking knee-deep in the sea, or swimming at a normal depth.
The choice of beach activities on Chaweng is the most diverse, and the whole the coastline is tightly built up with hotels and entertainment institutions. In addition to the beach and the trump places of the area, many hotels are built on the outskirts of Chaweng and inside residential quarters. Proximity to the sea, for obvious reasons, increases the cost of a room per day, so the two budget I offer options are not located in the minute availability of the beach. Chaweng – one of the five longest beaches of Samui, so I consider Two options for hotels in each price category.

The New Villa построена в полу-отшельническом кварталеChaweng, close to the houses of local residents. In this place, closer to the beginning of Chaweng Noi beach, Chaweng beach is gradually narrowing, and at the bottom there are more and more huge stones making it less attractive for sunbathing lovers. Close location to the sea does not have its advantage, because anyway have to walk some distance along the water to get there to the net entrance to the sea. The new villa itself is a quiet hotel, but this is the optimal solution for Chaweng, close to both the sea and parties
The cost of living per day: from 600 baht (1.243 rubles)
The second budget place I would consider for short stay on koh samui is the nantra chaweng beach hotel which stands in the depths of the town of Chaweng, in the very the middle of its motion, the noise of engines and the smell of macaws. U nantra Chaweng Beach Hotel is great location for an inexpensive urban hotel with good wifi. The best choice for party people and night residents Samui

Hotels on Lamai Beach
Briefly about the beach
Lamai Beach is wonderful because it perfectly combines active nightlife with a lazy beach holiday during daylight days. Lamai village is located on the east coast of Samui, on the border between Chaweng civilization and hermit areas islands. Being one of the most sought after areas of Samui, Lamai has an excellent island infrastructure, where everything is there except hospitals. In addition, Lamai leads the number of children entertainment, here is built the second on the island of Mc Donalds, from here Most of Samui’s attractions are available.
Lamai Beach stretches for more than 5 km and is absolutely not the same throughout. From stony-shallow to north, through the ideally-classic center to the semi-wild, neglected south. In several places there are mouths of local rivers, which in the rainy season well erode the beach. In the dry season level water in the rivers decreases as the flow stops in some of them, and the water begins to emit not the most pleasant smell.
On all 5 kilometers of the beach there is only one wasteland, everything the rest is built up by hotels, so very carefully choose place for vacation. There are hotels that stand on the shore small stinks, but the price of a room in such hotels is still far from budget. Therefore, it is easy to be deceived by the beautiful pictures on the site. hotel and price, in fact, it turns out that everything is not so rosy.

The best option in many ways is the Green villa . which is located on the edge of Lamai, quite not far from one of the popular attractions of Samui – the rocks Grandma and Grandpa (Hin Ta Hin Yai). Great bungalows for quite imputed money, a hundred meters from the ring road. Enough far away not to hear the passing trucks and enough close so as not to wander along the lanes of the village. Pool, green territory, inconspicuous staff and strategically convenient location Of the inconvenience – the hotel stands on a steep slope which has to go down to the beach. By the way, due to the coolness shores – the beach opposite Green Villa, the most exotic part on all Lamai, with huge round boulders, characteristic only for east coast of the island.

Отель Utopia Resort стоит в середине пляжа Ламаи, рядом с мостикомthrough the river.

Here is an example of unique pricing for hotel rooms in Thailand. Отель Samui Jasmine Resort расположен практически “через стенку” от UtopiaResort, and the price is almost five times. Numbers of course gorgeous. It is evident that they did not stint either on the designer or on materials. Very helpful and polite staff in the restaurant – live music in the evenings, close proximity to the sea. In all The hotel has a good, steady internet. Many loungers on the beach, delicious, varied breakfasts. Why pay attention to variety – Thais often do not load themselves by changing the menu to breakfasts.
