1. PK APARTMENT KOH SAMUI

0.1 km from Big Buddha Beach

"Only stayed one night but it was clean and comfortable and excellent value for money.... A perfect place to stay if you need to be at the airport early (like I did) and are just wanting a bed for the night. Close to everything you need.... Bars, shops, restaurants, 7/11, etc etc. The girl who runs the place was an absolute saviour when the taxi that I booked to take me to the airport failed to show up.... She very generously offered to take me in her car.... Can't thank her enough. 🙏 I'd stay...

"We stayed for a week and enjoyed it overall. The room is comfortable and the pool is good. The staff is friendly and the restaurant food is delicious. This place is really far away from major attractions and the infrastructure around is nonexistent. Also, the beach is not developed and you would need water shoes to walk around. There are other beaches around but you would need a taxi to get there. The atmosphere in the resort was peaceful."

Samui Mermaid Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful place to stay. The cleaning staff at the place are brilliant! Always came back to a clean room 👌 only one small thing - at night, staff need to do routine walks around the site. The people next to us were shouting (drunk) until the early hours of the morning. A routine walk by night staff to stop this would be helpful as there is no one on the desk at night. Apart from that small thing, the stay was decent."

"Absolutely amazing place, attentive staff, good restaurant / bar. Good pool area. Penthouse was fantastic."
