New Hut
A very popular traveller's haunt

Description
The long-running and misnamed New Hut is old but still great value. They have basic A-frame huts with share bathroom on offer and for the price you can't really complain even though the share bathrooms could do with a serious spruce up. This is a very popular traveller's haunt and in-season is typically full, so try to call ahead for a room if possible as they no longer take reservations by email. The beach here gets runoff from the nearby creek, but walk fifty metres along and you'll be fine. A very friendly spot, with a good and very popular restaurant with large servings.

Good low budget option -

We actually stayed at the bungalows next door, though went pretty often to the New Hut in order to get a bite to eat. The A shaped Bungalows looked fine to me (kind of a tent, only larger and more stable)- and the food at the restaurant is reasonably priced and quite tasty :)

Lamai Resort
Lamai Beach, Ko Samui
Lamai Resort is in the process of replacing their older wooden bungalows with solid, pastel coloured concrete bungalows with air-con. The new bungalows are comfortable and well appointed right on the beach, with a second row going for lower rates. When we passed by in May 2006 just the one pastel... more
Rose Garden Bungalows
146/2 Moo 4 Lamai Beach, Ko Samui
Rose Garden has a mix of air-con and fan-cooled bungalows, both ageing though the air-con ones are faring a little better. The former are old-style wooden huts with linoleum covered floors, super-soft beds and grotty bathrooms, though at least they are close to the beach. The latter are ordinary,... more
Surat Palm Resort
Lamai Beach, Ko Samui
This small bungalow operation has a dozen or so wooden bungalows, all fan-cooled with shower. The smaller huts are a bit older, but particularly if you're travelling by yourself, they aren't bad value, though the bathrooms are pretty grimy. The larger beachfront huts are in better nick and are far... more
Wish Bungalow
Lamai Beach, Ko Samui
If Beer's next door is full, Wish is a reasonable second choice, with similar bungalows equally close together but a tad smaller than Beers. The restaurant isn't as welcoming but the family is particularly friendly and the views from the front row are excellent. While they're small, the huts have... more
No Name
Lamai Beach, Ko Samui
It can be a real pain to find the staff here, but the bungalows seem cute and comfortable, attracting a mix of Thai and farangs. Despite visiting three times, we weren't able to find someone who could tell us the price, nor show us a bungalow. But it does look good and is probably priced around... more
