Chaweng Beach Guest Friendly Hotels List
Al's Resort
Moo 2 Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Soi Green Mango (290 m), Soi Reggae (1.1 Km)
Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities: |
    |
The location of Al's Resort is really spot on! First you got the nightlife almost at your doorsteps with Soi Green Mango (Samui's equivalent of Phuket’s Bangla Road) less than 5 minutes walk away, then the great beachfront location with pool and swim up bar overlooking the sea. Guests only deck chairs are also available right on the beach for those of you who find swimming in the sea more attractive. The resort which is rather big with just under 100 rooms also has another smaller pool at the courtyard.
Here are some of the features you can come to expect at the Al's Resort in pictures:
At 25 sq.m the deluxe room I booked was a little on the small side but clean and equipped with all the essentials: Good bed, older generation TV, mini-bar, A/C, free Wi-Fi, electronic safe, coffee/tea maker and a bathroom with a hot/cold shower with a selection of free toiletries by the sink. The housekeeping staff did a good job and was unobtrusive. Resort is very girl friendly, no issues with security taking back this freelancer from Green Mango Club.
Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in April 2014 and reflect their cheapest room on offer the: “Courtyard Deluxe“.

The Ark Bar Beach Resort has a very energetic atmosphere that attracts a young crowd, their beach bar is the busiest on Chaweng beach. Daily pool parties with DJ start at around 1PM and the whole place turns into lively beach club after dawn that goes on late into the night. Featuring 300 rooms right by the sand, the resort facilities include 3 pools of which 2 have swim-up pool bars and 2 beachfront restaurants that offer an impressively thick menu of food and drinks. Located at the center of the night life, you are only minutes away from Soi Mango. Wednesday & Saturday are the main party nights where you see crowds flocking from all over town to the Ark Bar. Staff is friendly and efficient, speak good English and do their best to make you feel at home.
Here are some more pictures of the room features at the Ark Bar Beach Resort:
I stayed in their Premier Deluxe this trip, rooms are ok for the price considering the prime location, nothing like 5 star but very clean with modern decor and fittings and at 30 sq.m you definitely don't feel as tight for space like in their Superior & Deluxe category. Amenities include everything you need: queen size bed with sofa on the side, large 40" flat-screen television offering an excellent selection of channels, free Wi-Fi, fully stocked mini-bar, small safe, free tea and coffee making facilities, good A/C, small work desk, decent storage space and big sliding glass doors that give way onto the room balcony. Bathroom is clean and has a shower corner with a good selection of free toilet provided.
The Ark Bar Beach Resort is ideal for those wanting a party atmosphere and be in the middle of all the nightlife that Chaweng has to offer
Little tip: On arrival ask for a room far enough from the beach end unless you don’t need sleep before 2-3AM.
Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in April 2016 and reflect their 2nd cheapest room on offer the: “Premier Deluxe Double“.
- Guest Friendly policy reply by the Ark Bar Beach Resort: "Dear Guest, Thank you for your inquiry. If you come alone and you bring 1 joiner then there is no charge. But if you come 2 guests already then bring 1 more you have to pay. Kind Regards Jenny Reservation".
Chalala Samui Resort
154/14-15 Moo 2, Chawaeng Beach, Chaweng, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Soi Green Mango (1.2 Km), Soi Reggae (2.5 Km)
Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities: |
|
The Chalala Samui Resort is located at the quieter northern end of Chaweng beach about 10 to 15 mins walking distance from the main nightlife area. Sandwiched between more expensive resorts the place is well ran and very picturesque with a dozen or so bungalows that look a little bit like the Smurfs village. The resort grounds are kept clean, pool area is nice and their restaurant on the beach was inexpensive with good food. Regarding the beachfront, while very pretty the sea in Northern Chaweng is shallow so very hard to swim here all you'll manage to get is water up to your waist if you walk far enough.
Here are some of the features you can come to expect at the Chalala Samui Resort in pictures:
Rooms are basic but great for the price and perfectly functional with proper bed, A/C, living room corner with table and TV, fridge, safe on bedroom table, free Wi-Fi and, hot/cold shower in the bathroom with free toiletries besides the sink and a terrace to hang outside. Staff was very friendly and while I stayed here only two days I didn't have the slightest problem bringing back a different bar girl back every night so the Chalala Samui Resort is very girl friendly indeed.
Date Last Visited: Pictures at the Chalala Samui Resort were taken during my last visit in Juner 2016 and reflect their cheapest room on offer the: “Garden bungalow“.

Montien House Hotel
5 Moo 2, Chaweng Beachfront, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Soi Green Mango (300 m), Soi Reggae (1.4 Km)
Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities: |
|
The Montien House Hotel has the best of both worlds in terms of location with the beach right on the front side and Chaweng's nightlife in the back, only a few minutes walk away from the mayhem of Soi Green Mango. This is an older Resort surrounded by beautiful lush gardens where quaint little cottages with their own veranda are lined up on each side of the pathway leading to the beach amidst more plush villas with private plunge pools. The Deluxe, Deluxe Premium & Suite rooms are found in their recently completed three-story building and are more modern in design. The beachfront area is very relaxing morning, day or night with the pool, loungers and restaurant's terrace located right along the beach. The staff at the front desk staff were friendly and professional, no problems whatsoever bringing back bargirls at night, excellent service as well from the beach and restaurant area staff even though some lack a bit in English communication skills but no biggie.
Here are some more pictures of the room features at the Montien House Hotel in pictures:
The Montien House has a wide range of room types and I settled for a Premier Deluxe in the new block, while you can get a deluxe room for about the same price along the garden path, I found them to be a little dated inside and the decor seemed worn out. My Premier Deluxe room was brighter and much more modern, at 35 sq.m they are also pretty spacious. Amenities in the room include: A big comfortable bed with a quirky little seating area/single bed next to it, flat-screen TV, quiet modern A/C unit, small mini-bar, coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi, small work desk, electronic safe in the wardrobe & small balcony (rooms on the ground floor do not have one). The en-suite bathroom was basic but nice with an enclosed walk-in shower & free toiletries.
In the end the Montien House Hotel is not bad place at all with the perfect beach/nightlife location combo, as long as you're not expecting the glitz and glamour of a 5-star and you shouldn't be disappointed here.
Date Last Visited: Pictures at the Montien House Hotel were taken during my last visit in April 2016 and reflect their cheapest room on offer the: “Premier Deluxe Building Room“.

The Buri Rasa Village is a fabulous little boutique resort built in authentic Thai design located 3/4 down the quieter southern part of Chaweng beach, about 10-15 minute walking distance to the busy nightlife area. All the rooms have been newly built so they come equipped with the newest amenities. Even their most basic room had a beautifully decorated living room with a big bathroom and balcony. The infinity pool is not big but fine for the size of the resort and when it is only 10 meters walk away from the ocean who really need a big pool?

D Varee Diva Avenue Samui
3/55 Moo 2, Soi Poonsawas, Chaweng, Samui
I tried both their Deluxe and superior rooms, the pictures above reflect the Deluxe category. Both are have been recently refurbished and are clean, with a comfy bed, balcony and a modern glass enclosed shower and toilet but no tub. Deluxe category has a bigger TV but the superior ones got the bigger toilet. Avoid the standard rooms unless you really are on a budget, they are very old and run down in places. Location of D Varee Diva Avenue Samui is good, an easy walk to the beach or nightlife, swimming pool on the roof is well worth a visit too.
Price Range: $/$$/$$$ Amenities: |

Samui First House Hotel
4/16 Moo 3 Chaweng Beach, Samui
Samui First House is in one of the quieter location along South Chaweng beach, around 25-30 minutes walk to main bar are in Soi Mango. Beach is in front of their sister resort First Bungalows and is accessible trough short bridge (1 min max walk). For the price I paid for the standard room, it was more there wasn't much to complain about, keep in mind this is a very basic hotel so if you are looking for a bit of luxury in Samui this is not it. Standard rooms are a bit old and come with a big bed, minibar, working toilet with bath/shower, air-con, older TV with around 20 channels and balcony. don't expect any views at this place unless you are paying for the Superior or deluxe rooms, but if you're looking for one of the cheapest and best places to stay along Chaweng beach that has a pool then Samui First House is probably the one, especially if you're able to catch one of Agoda's deals.

The Seascape Beach Resort's location is right on the quieter Southern end of Chaweng beach. Sandwiched between more expensive resorts the facilities here are divided between rooms with balconies in their main building and bungalows with balcony. Rooms are large yet very simply furnished though they cover all the basics: A/C, TV (older CRT model), mini-bar, hot shower and free WiFi.

127 Moo 3 Maret, Lamai Beachfront, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Beer Bar Central (270 m), Lamai Central Plaza (750 m)
Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities: |
|
Bill Resort offers a quiet retreat right one of my favorite stretch of sand near the northern end of Lamai Beach. The setting and location is really nice with bungalows spread out on the hillside through a nicely manicured little sub-tropical jungle. Their accommodations at the top involve quite a steep climb so make sure you get a room near the bottom if you have any mobility issues. The swimming pool area and restaurant (good food) are located right at the beachfront where plenty of sun loungers are available. Depending on your pace a 10 to 15 mins walk down the beach will take you into the Lamai centre for the nightlife.
Here are some of Bungalow features you can come to expect at Bill Resort in pictures:
The Standard bungalow I booked was perfectly adequate for my needs, nothing fancy but clean and tidy equipped with: A proper bed, good A/C unit, old-school CRT TV but with a few English channels, small but well stocked mini-bar, bathroom with bath/shower and a little terrace to sit outside. Only downside is that I wasn't able to pickup a Wi-Fi signal in my room but you can access it for free in the common areas like pool, reception & bar/restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and last but not least very girl friendly no issues with security bringing back this bargirl at night.
Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in April 2014 and reflect their least expensive bungalow accommodation on offer the: “Standard Bungalow“.

Coconut Beach Resort
124/433 Moo 3, Lamai Beachfront, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Beer Bar Central (400 m), Lamai Central Plaza (250 m)
Price Range: $$/$$$ Amenities: |
|
The Coconut Beach Resort I am reviewing is the three-story building that was recently built an old coconut farm dating from the 50's, Not the older resort two streets down with an almost identical name (beware that taxis will often take you this one first). The location is really superb, where during the day you can just chill at the Resorts beachfront and pool then once the nighttime comes be at the main beer bar complex in less than 5 minutes walk.
Here are some of the features you can come to expect at the Coconut Beach Resort in pictures:
The standard room I booked was clean and spacious with glazed tile floors throughout. Amenities included: Big and comfy bed, small LCD TV, big fridge, electronic safe, quiet A/C unit, In-room features (lights, AC, TV), can all be conveniently controlled by the bedside, writing desk & chair, bathroom with bath/shower and a basic set of free toiletries. Room also has a small balcony overlooking palm trees. There are no in-room coffee/tea making facilities but you can get water/tea/coffee for free near the reception area 24/7. Only downside was that my balcony doors had a small gap in them so on some nights a few mosquitoes got into the room. Other than that all good, good housekeeping, friendly staff and no problem with security at night bringing back a joiner.

Palm Coco Mantra Resort
143/11 Moo 4, Maret, Lamai Beachfront, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Beer Bar Central (3.2 Km), Lamai Central Plaza (3.3 Km)
Palm Coco Mantra is is new and modern resort located a little off the beaten track about a 5 to 10 minutes scooter ride north of the Lamai center, if you don't wish to rent your own set of wheels you can always grab the songathew along the main road 5 minutes away or take the long 20 minutes walk along the beach to Lamai. The grounds here are quite spectacular, you will be hard pressed to find a better view in the area with it's secluded beach and cool, pool and bar area a few meters from the sea, the resort offers one of the best options in Lamai for relaxed stay. The sea is shallow and peaceful and perfect just to laze in, if you are looking to swim though, you will need to walk further down the beach as the water in front of the resort is barely knee deep at low tide, free kayak rentals are available if you wish to venture around. One thing that stands out is their the fantastic staff, they are really amazing, unpretentious and friendly, no problems whatsoever with overnight guests either.
Here are some more of my pictures you can come to expect at the Palm Coco Mantra:
I booked their Superior Sea View, room was on the top floor of the main building with a great panoramic view out to the beach and open sea that you could enjoy from the balcony in one of the two comfy reclining deckchairs. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean and at 30 sq.m there's plenty of space to move around. Amenities are all right and certainly in line with their 3.5-star rating, bed is big and comfy, flat screen TV across from it had HBO for movies as well as a few other English-language channels, air conditioning was quiet and efficient, excellent Wi-FI reception (as well as throughout the property), mini bar was a tad small to my liking but filled with a selection of drinks, coffee/tea making facilities were found on top of it, a safe and padlock are provided as well and located in the wardrobe. Bathroom is basic but everything works, sink and mirror & toilet on one side with the shower/wet room at the other end, no issues with hot/cold water or lack of pressure.
The Palm Coco Mantra has also been awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence in 2016, so it's hard not to recommend for it's premium location, service and atmosphere at about a 3rd of the cost of other hotels nearby.

Samui Sense Beach Resort
124/61 Moo 3 Maret, Lamai Beachfront, Koh Samui
- Distance: Beach (0 m), Beer Bar Central (400 m), Lamai Central Plaza (250 m)
If you are looking for a holiday right at the beach with almost immediate access to Lamai's biggest beer-bar enclave then the Samui Sense Beach Resort might just be the place for you. The resort is set on lush grounds that can be accessed both by the beach and main road. The swimming pool area is nice and there are plenty of sun loungers from which to chose from on the beach (free of charge of course), service from the bar and restaurant staff was always handled promptly and with a smile, a little before sunset the beach is turned into a chill-out zone with beanbags, tables and chairs for happy hour and dining. Since the entertainment center of Beer Bar Central is only 3 minutes walk away, staff and security are well accustomed to guests coming back with ladies overnight so never had any issues here, even when one of the girls forgot her ID back at the bar.
Here are some of my pictures of you can come to expect at the Samui Sense Beach Resort:
During my most recent stay, I went their cheapest category available the "Superior Room", these have the advantage of being located in the main building which has gone through some recent renovations. For sure, at 22 sq.m. you're not getting a whole lot of living space but that was fine with me because I'm mostly at the beach or by the pool in the daytime and in the bars at night. Room was clean and nicely appointed, furniture was of good quality and in Thai style, the bed was comfy slept really well no complaints here, Flat-screen TV had basic selection of channels, limited to just a few western ones to chose from, on the other hand the air-con was fantastic, cooled the place off in no time, good wi-fi reception in the room and throughout the hotel, mini-bar drinks were reasonably priced with free water daily, boiler with coffee/tea provided, decently sized electronic safe and plenty of storage for your luggage. Although not huge, the bathroom was adequate with a sliding door arrangement next to the bed, shower offering good pressure/temperature and free toiletries are also provided.
Overall a good option, great beachfront location just a few minutes walk from to the best beer bars and nightlife that Lamai has to offer, would recommend!

Lamai Inn 99 Bungalows

Price Range: $/$$/$$$ Amenities: |

I stayed in a pool view room that had a king size bed, A/C and hot water. The beautiful Lamai beach is about as close as you can put a hotel from it. The restaurant was good for Thai food but i would give the western food a miss. The nearby bar is noisy until two or three in the morning, didn't bother us too much as were night owls. The location is a compromise between proximity to the beach and distance to the main street in the town - both are fairly short walks, however, this hotel is situated closer to the beach then the town. The walking distance to town isn't more then 5 minutes at a slow stroll, while the distance to the beach is closer then that. In fact, the hotel's restaurant is on the beach.

Samui Beach Resort

Price Range: $/$$ Amenities: |

The Samui Beach Resort is a great little place for budget travelers situated at the southern end the Lamai beach next to the grandfather and grandmother rock. The resort is well maintained and has a pool with sunbeds, not the biggest but clean and nice to have, free sunbeds are also available on the beach. The fan rooms are cheap but very basic with just the shower and Wi-Fi access. Unless you are on a very strict budget I suggest the A/C Rooms for a bit more space and comfort (flat-screen TV, fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, balcony). Positives: Beachfront location, price, clean rooms. Negatives: Food at their restaurant & Wi-Fi unreliable in room at times.

Price Range: $$/$$$ Amenities: |

The Sand Sea Resort & Spa is located along the quieter northern side of Lamai beach which is divided in two by a small stream inlet just next to the it. The resort is pretty and feels secluded, has a nice little pool, bar and restaurant and best of all is right on the beach. Rooms are good and cleaned daily. The superior and deluxe rooms offer a bathtub instead of just a shower of the smaller standard ones and if money is no issue you can have as look at their pool villas right on the beach with a large private pool, Jacuzzi and modern equipment. Downside: When walking on the backside of the resort there were some swampy smell coming from a drain and creek nearby but gladly it didn't reach our room, restaurant or the beach.
