Pudsa Bungalows
Reasonable

What we say: 
Pudsa Resort is a collection of clean and smartly-designed bungalows, including some right on the beachfront which are not particularly private, as they get a lot of passing traffic. It's a popular spot, often getting some of the overflow when nearby Tubtim fills up. Rooms vary drastically in quality, from classic wooden bungalows to grotty dark-green huts, and most have cold showers. As Tubtim grows to be more upscale, Pudsa offers a reasonable budget alternative. The restaurant on the beach does Thai and Western standards. Staff can usually be roused from their slumber to help out, but this is a relaxed resort where things happen at their own pace.

Ok place nice spot
Stayed here for 3 nights and although it is in a great spot it isn't the greatest place considering the price. We paid 1500 for beachside aircon room with breakfast. Great location for relaxing on the porch and going for swims. But the room was dingy with a rock hard bed. Breakfast was average and the staff where not too helpfull. Would stay again but for a lower price.

The best of both
Pudsa at Tubtim gives you the best of both worlds its a quiet location but a short walk away from the main beaches. Pudsa bungalows 800B we had the one in the picture you step out on to the beach. Clean room, hot shower, towels, mossie screens, balcony overlooking the beach. You can snorkel from the beach some fish a little bit of coral around the rocks. Friendly helpful staff. They can organise snorkeling/fishing trips 400B pp slow boat and a speedboat from the beach back to the mainland for 200B pp which leaves at 4pm each day giving you one more day on the beach. Not much of a backpacker vibe here if you want that go to Naga. I recommend Pudsa for couples, families and singles wanting to chill away from the crowds(no movies). And with the constant train of no hassily beach hawkers(massage on the beach, fresh fruit) you will want for nothing. Have a good time I did.

Don't stay here
The Pudsa Bungalows are well located on a lovely beach on Ko Samet. That is the good part. The Bad: We had a horrible experience! The staff was completely drunk at 5PM. The ''deluxe room'' with air was disgusting, smelled badly and on and on. I wanted to change rooms and the drunken manager Eddie started swearing at me repeatedly and physically threatening me. I looked around at the other 5 drunken Thai guys just waiting for something to happen so I backed down and stayed one horrible night. I felt that my safety and my guest's would have been in jeopardy. The water in the toilet and shower did not work, the outside lights did not work, the sheets were like sandpaper and not clean and the inside light consisted of a bare fluorescent light bulb. I scoped out a much better accommodation down the beach the next morning, for less money too. Eddie the manager was already drinking at 8AM. When we checked out, I told the maids that I would be back in 10-15 minutes in Thai to retrieve the rest of our belongings. Guess what? All of it was gone when I returned 15 minutes later. I had to spend another 30 minutes fighting with the staff to get my stuff back. I have stayed in the most inexpensive to the most expensive accommodations in my life and I have never been treated so badly and felt so negative about a stay in my entire life. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere.

Nice place on a great beach
Ao Pudsa is sweet. It's the first less crowded, less noisy beach heading south, but a short walk to the night action on the first 3 beaches. My 600B fan hillside second-row bungalow with an interrupted view of beach and sea wasn’t great, wasn’t bad -- plenty of room, a big comfy bed, soap/toilet paper supplied, no towel, no sink, good water pressure, clean but starting to look a bit tatty (the adjacent bungalow was being renovated - hey, perhaps mine was next). Grounds were clean but there was a lot of scratchy looking bare earth (Samet has water shortages dry season). Paths were well lit at night. Restaurant prices were average budget bungalow, food and service okay. They set up a seafood BBQ each night and had a section with those neat bar mats+candles+cushions set up on the sand. The 800B front row rockside/sandside trad bungalows are in a great position only 20m from the water, but were all gone. Next time.

Ok
We stayed at the mid-range bungalows, some in the front have great views. The bungalow was spacious, with a nice veranda, but the bathroom was terrible -- though for 500B I couldn't complain. The beach is great and there's a nice raft in the sea you can swim to. The parties are on the beach next to this one, only a few minutes' walk. I had a great time on the island, but I guess you can find better places to stay.

Alright
Bungalows look better from the outside than they do from the inside. Some have great beach-side location though. They also rent motorbikes for 100B per hour
