Arrived late from the airport staff helpfull on check in with one caveat. I was told if I wan't to bring a girl back its ok just give us 200 baht.

Needless to say this does not make one feel they are in upscale establishment.

On the upside for the money excellet size room OK shower (although i did jet was a very dusy vent.) .

Good qulaity room safe.

A breakfast was provided which was in my view good considering what I was paying.

Location in Chaweng short walks to restaurants and countless Tailors offering you cheap suit deals.

We had a short stay at the Cheweng Beach Hotel as when we arrived extensive building work was in progress and ultimately we moved to the Melati hotel. For the two nights we were here we stayed in individual bungalows. These are poorly lit and a bit dingy although are very secluded and not overlooked.
The Cheweng Beach hotel does sit on the busiest road on Koh Samui complete with tacky shops and fake Rolexes, Pizza Express and Starbucks. If you want bustling, hot sweaty stalls selling clothes, food and other items you’ll love this location.
The beach was disappointing as it is sectioned off and you can wade out a long way and still be up to your knees. No waves or swimming here. For that you would have to walk down to the busier public part of the beach. The beach attached to the hotel is marked off so that guests are not harassed by sellers although they still try their best.

We found the resort to be a great place to stay. It was an easy place to relax, and when you want to take advantage of bargains the shops are right out the front of the resort, (just don't try to shop for your bargains before noon). Another great thing about the resort is that it is situated right on the beach so in the evenings the beach is covered with restaurants with fresh sea food and of course Happy Hour :)

Good place near the beach. Not really perfect but it could be used for a short stay, Be well informed about the right price befiore you agree with your room rate.
