“A relaxing and beautiful resort in a great location on Koh Samui” - London
The Saboey is a great hotel, and we had a brilliant few days there. The rooms are large and beautifully laid out and the gardens are picture perfect. The view from the infinity pool is really lovely, and I would highly recommend the massage ladies on the beach round the corner from the hotel - very cheap amazing massages.
“A little gem....” - Nottingham
Having stayed previously on Samui we knew that we wanted to stay near Big Buddha, as we were also going to take some time over on Koh Phanang. We booked a suite and were not dissapointed. Our elevated balcony looked out directly towards Koh Phanang - the view was amazing - and our room was large, clean and airey.
For us the location was great - although the airport is nearby this wasn't a problem - and the resort was very peaceful, with direct access to the beach.
Breakfast was hearty and could be taken by the pool bar (watch out for the mozzies) or down on the beach.
Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. A great little resort to relax.

Where the world's super-rich go for fun.
Stressful times typically call for big vacations, but the tough economic climate has forced some families to find enjoyment closer to home this year. The same isn't true for the world's billionaires. Although some have seen their net worth shrink, many continue to visit their personal getaways to escape from their high-profile lives.
The location of these luxury destinations is a matter of personal taste.
Some, like Oprah Winfrey, enjoy the Caribbean heat. Despite owning a 60-acre Maui getaway and a 42-acre estate in Montecito, Calif., Oprah occasionally yearns for the serenity created by the crystal-clear Caribbean water and the region's perfect palm trees. To calm this urge she visits her coastline playground on Antigua, where Eric Clapton and Giorgio Armani are among her famous neighbors.

The Top Destinations of The Year
As we continue to reel from the effects of the recession and dig deep as our travel budgets have moved from minted to skinted, we ask ourselves some difficult questions.
- Should we shorten our holiday?
- Should we become more cost savvy and consider an all inclusive option?
- Should we even consider staying in the UK with the horrific thought of cowering against the relentless rain?

Koh Samui Beach Resorts: Things to do in and around
Koh Samui beach resorts are only behind Phuket in terms of popularity and visitor numbers for Thai resorts. And there is good reason for that, despite years of chronic over-development the island retains much of its natural beauty and picture postcard beaches. Travel to and from the island is easy with regular international and domestic flights direct to the island as well as regular ferry crossings from Surat Thani.
There is a huge choice of accommodation around the island to suit varying budgets, although the trend is to develop more and more upscale resorts. The main beach is Chaweng, which is a long stretch of beautiful white sand. Chaweng town is very built up with resorts stretching most of the length of the beach and shops, bars and restaurants line the streets behind. Quieter beaches can be found along the north of the island. Bophut has a more rustic, family atmosphere, although the beaches aren't so good.
There is a lot to do to occupy yourself in Koh Samui, whether you choose to hire a car, bike or use local transportation. (WARNING - If you chose to hire any equipment be it a car, motorbike, jet ski etc do your research beforehand and only use reputable hirers. There are known to be many scams operating in Thailand where the hirer will try to charge you an extortionate amount to repair minor scratches that you probably didn't put there. Such situations have been known to turn nasty. Do a Google search to read more about this).
So here's a rundown of the main activities:
Visiting temples - One of the highlights of most people's visits to Thailand is visiting a few temples, and Samui is no exception. The most famous is Big Buddha at Big Buddha beach. A short climb to the top of the temple offers some good views out to sea. There are also some rather gimmicky fortune telling machines and you can buy a brick to contribute towards the construction of new temple buildings. Another well known temple is Wat Khunaram which contains the mummified body of a local monk. Located along the southern stretch of the ring road, this is worth a quick stop off.
