Excessive/Low Season in Koh Samui? Normally the excessive season is from November to April, and the off-season is from Might to October. Room charges will be considerably larger within the excessive season particularly if a resort is close to full occupancy.

Consequently resort and transport prices are a lot larger than the remainder of Thailand. Taxi costs are a blatant rip off they usually by no means use the meter, anticipate 300-500 baht for very quick journeys. Even the communal ‘songttheaw’ vans cost comparatively excessive fares in increments of fifty baht.

Further suggestions for the resorts: A lot of the seaside resort accommodations have tiered pricing ranges for his or her rooms, with the most costly rooms being proper on the seaside. So if you happen to e-book the most affordable room you’ll naturally be the furthest away from the ocean. However the kicker is lots of the larger priced rooms will be empty, so if you happen to e-book the most affordable room and complain about some room defect immediately you is perhaps stunned with a room improve to a vastly dearer room (that is what occurred to me at Al’s Resort).

It’s not all good although as some rooms at Pleasure Harbour Boutique resort are affected by Soi Inexperienced Mango bar noise from round 8pm-3am. Once I checked in I used to be informed there could be no refunds for noise complaints. It was fantastic for me as I knew I’d be out each night time at these instances, however positively don’t keep right here if you’re going to be making any early morning day journeys 🙂

There’s no swimming pool or health middle too, however that’s type of customary for Koh Samui. It’s not likely a difficulty because the Chaweng beachfront resort bars are simply 2 minutes away, merely purchase a drink or some meals and use their services (that’s what I did anyway).

I discovered the rooms at Al’s Resort to be a bit dated and even lacked fundamental upkeep in components which was disappointing (many on-line opinions have comparable views and one even in contrast it to Defective Towers). The reception workers and repair workers at Al’s Resort had been good, however they’d some bizarre random guidelines within the resort eg. you couldn’t signal for a pool towel after 5pm although the pool closes at 8pm which was simply nonsensical.
