Ko Samui 3 star Hotels

‘Superior’, ‘standard’, ‘deluxe’, ‘standard deluxe’, ‘deluxe superior’, ‘superior standard’ – what does it all mean? Trying to decode Samui’s obnoxious hotel lingo is like trying to decipher the ancient Maya language. The island’s array of sleeping options is overwhelming – we’ve compiled a list of our favourites, but the following inventory is by no means exhaustive.

If you’re looking to splurge, there is definitely no shortage of top-end resorts sporting extravagant bungalows, charming spas, private infinity pools, and first-class dining. Bo Phut, on the island’s northern coast, has a charming collection of boutique lodging – the perfect choice for midrange travellers. Backpack-toting tourists will have to look a little harder, but budget digs do pop up once in a while along all of the island’s beaches.

Private villa services have become quite popular in recent years. Rental companies often advertise in the various tourist booklets that circulate on the island.
