La Lune Beach Resort

I arrived by car (taxi) but the access to the hotel is via the beach - luckily, the tide was low and the staff helped with my suitcase. I was given a room on the ground floor but they changed it without any problem when I asked. The staff were very nice (didn't speak a lot of English, but I don't speak Thai either...- and we managed to communicate just fine). The hotel is right on the beach. It's clean and quite recently done up. It's on a quiet beach for Koh Samet, which is what I was looking for. There was one night when a near by hotel or bar was noisy but compared to other areas of the island it was a lot more chilled. Mix of families and adults. I'd advise getting the speedboat there as it's really close to the jetty. I didn't on the way there but chose that option on the way back to the mainland. Book that option as a return journey before you get to Samet as it'll be a lot cheaper (even if it's quite cheap anyway). You can do the coastal walk all the way to the village - from one beach to the next.

It's right on the beach and next to lots of good places to eat.
