Description
New Lapaz has a small but very refreshing pool along with a large restaurant, though on a stretch of beach as fine as this, it is difficult to see the need for a pool! New Lapaz Villa is a popular spot, partly due to its very well priced air-con bungalows (except for their beachfront bungalows which are a tad overpriced). The resort is clean and pretty well-maintained with pleasant gardens and well-sized huts. New Lapaz shares the same owners at the Thong Nai Pan Beach Resort and Spa on Ko Pha Ngan.

we were well up for our stay here. we had the whole idea of a room on the beach, swimming pool to beat. we read good reviews of the place too.
when we got there we were greeted by a grumpy old lady, who seemed more interested with watching the tv then to show us to the room. Maeman it self was quiet so quiet that we we were one of 2 rooms renting!
so if your young and want some thing to do, DON'T go to Maemen, and defiently do not stay at this place.
the old lady turned out to be very sour lady, thankfully there were 2 other ladies who were nice. However the first chance we got to get down to the more lively Chaweng we took it.

The only plus point was the pool. It was clean that's all that was good.

New Star Bungalows
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
This place has old-style island huts, all fan-cooled and with private bathroom in a reasonably well-shaded coconut grove. The stretch of beach here is very pretty and the restaurant, with a pool table, is good, albeit a bit sleepy, making this overall a quiet spot with a welcoming vibe and friendly... more



Morning Glory
12/37 M001 Morning Glory, Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
The Austrian owner of Morning Glory has been on Ko Samui for years and is a great host, with a dedicated gang of returnees coming back year after year. The classic wooden beach huts are very basic, but, being right on the beach are good value for budget travellers. Occasional live music is put on,... more



Mae Nam Villa
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
Mae Nam Villa has a range of bungalows set behind a substantial retaining wall. The newer pastel-coloured and spotlessly clean bungalows are decorated with a flourish and are very comfortable, with well designed stone-finished bathrooms. While there are some older and cheaper huts available,... more



Magic View
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
Magic View is now under French management and this small resort is good value as an old-style Samui haunt for those on a budget. The huts are very basic but are smack-bang right on a great stretch of the beach. The restaurant is small and has a short menu, and while the decking looked to be... more



SR Bungalows
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
Set behind a substantial pebble-encrusted retaining wall, SR Bungalows is a friendly, family run spot with both free-standing and duplex bungalows. The rooms are basic but clean and the gardens are well-loved. Never too busy, this could be a relaxing pit-stop with a family atmosphere thrown in for... more



Cleopatra Palace
44/1 Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
Certainly not a palace as far as we're concerned, but Cleopatra's is clean and very friendly, with a very good restaurant. The mismatched concrete rooms however are mixed value, as few have views other than of each other.... more



Sea Shore 2 Bungalows
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
Sea Shore 2 is a very friendly spot with an excellent restaurant and a mix of some of the tiniest bungalows along with larger, more comfortable fare. The smallest are really only for the strict budgeteers, but the others are reasonable. There's an Australian run bar on site (the Hard Crock Cafe)... more



Maenam Cheer
Mae Nam Beach, Ko Samui
This relatively new spot has cute and well designed bungalows right on the beach -- you don't get any closer to beachfront than here -- fall off the veranda into gleaning white sand. There's a spacious beachfront restaurant and the staff are cheery enough. Not a bad choice for a backpacker looking... more
