Hotels

Twenty years ago there were but a few makeshift beachside bungalow compounds along the nearly deserted coast of Samui. Today, luxury resorts stand shoulder-to-shoulder with homey guesthouses, chic modern facilities next to motel cellblocks and all vying for supremacy for the choicest beachside real estate. Even if your budget is tight, you can still enjoy the same sand as those is the more exclusive joints.
