We stayed at the Chaweng Beach Resort which was fantastic. Beautiful gardens and pools, right on the beach, rooms excellent and good range of options and the staff were excellent. If you want a resort experience is as good as any.
Koh Samui itself did not live up to my expectations. The elephant ride tourist park was disappointing and whilst I appreciate the need for the locals to make a living the elephants were kept in appalling conditions. The other attractions at this place were lame. The big buddha was very commercialised and the island itself not as beautiful as I expected. Constant harrassment by hawkers wears thin. Shopping disappointing but the restaurants were excellent though. Nightlife a bit sleazy, obviously a hangout for middle aged men to pick up young asian girls.
