When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Khanom Beach, located 1.7 mi (2.7 km) from central Khanom. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Khanom District.
If you like haggling for the best price, you might want to head out to Municipal Food Market when visiting Nakhon Si Thammarat. Splash some more cash at Sahathai Plaza.
If being by the water is a major draw, Sichon Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1.7 mi (2.7 km) from central Sichon. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Pakdoud Beach and Phlai Dam Beach.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Pakdoud Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 2 mi (3.3 km) from central Sao Phao. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Sichon Beach.
"we booked another hotel and stayed there due to various things
1. no food allowed by pool
2. no drinks allowed by the pool
3. the room made all our clothes smell damp
4. unlike Thailand the welcome when we arrived was poor. carried our own bags no welcome drink just a reception tell us the rules of what we cant do.
the hotel itself is a good standard, but it's very Western you could be in benidorm so that's a personal thing that we didn't like.
the food we ordered when we arrived was cold.
we did not complain or talk to the staff as it's just a waste of energy. we just went to another hotel
not a terrible place but certainly not for us and would not go back"
"My first time to Samui. Had no idea where to stay, how much to spend, no recommendations. I booked purely on hotels.com and star ratings, in conjunction with price. We did splurge for a private cabin which if I recall wasn’t all that much more per night and was totally worth it. This hotel was really nice. The room was big and private entrance with porch and well equipped with great AC, big shower AND tub, king size bed, full size couch, and a chair. If you want 5 star it’s not. But a solid 4. The service from front desk to servers to cleaners were typical southeast Asian great hospitality. Room was 30 feet from the beach. The pool and outdoor bar and restaurant was 50 feet past that. We ate at the restaurant for dinner on the beach twice. They do really great fresh seafood. You can do Thai style or many other foreign choices. Great service on the beach. And all prices were very reasonable. For 2 of us eating dinner twice, breakfast once (albeit may have been included), and all sort of drinks on the beach for 4 days our total food and beverage bill was only about $200. The hotel is right in town. But it’s set back against the beach so you’ll never hear noise. But in 5 minutes walk you have many choices of restaurants, bars, and shopping. Oh, and 2 doors down the beach you can rent a jet ski for a very reasonable price. For 2 of us (1 ski) it was $80 for 40 min. And no hours of paperwork needed!"
"The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options, and the chefs (chef Thun and Bee) were outstanding. The pool tended to get dirty later in the day due to the high number of children. Overall, the resort is perfect for families next to all the actions, street food, fisherman village shops and the fire show. Very friendly staff always smiling- The themed kids’ rooms were a lot of fun and really enhanced our stay"
"A truly wonderful hotel in every aspect. We stayed for 3 nights as a couple and were extremely satisfied with our experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the location was perfect. We would definitely choose this hotel again in the future."
"Great location. Best part of chewang beach.perfect time of year as we could always get beach chairs and the breakfast buffet wasnt crowded. Lazy river pool and bar was a great break from the beach. Prices were similar to town prices and the ice cream parlor was a nice feature."
"The breakfast was delicious with a wide range of options,rooms were immaculate,spa was amazing and customer service was top notch. Very friendly staff always willing to help. I will definitely be going back there!!!"
"I want to start off by saying that you are definitely getting your money’s worth when you stay here. The whole experience was incredible from the very beginning. When you drive up, it feels like you’re nowhere near anything, and then once you arrive, it feels like paradise.
The staff really takes care of you. If you’re an English speaker, just be patient with them. No one has an attitude, and if you ask for something and they can do it, they definitely will.
The room I got was right in front of the sunset — Room 211. You have your own pool with an amazing view overlooking the ocean and the sunset. The food is exquisite. If you’re just starting off, I definitely recommend the Wagyu burger. The steakhouse is also great — just keep in mind that if you’re from the States, the steak may be prepared a little differently.
The general pool is great, and every time your room gets cleaned, it feels like you just arrived all over again. Overall, if I could live there, I definitely would. If you’re visiting, I recommend staying at least three days so you can truly enjoy everything the resort has to offer.
