Blu' Beach Bungalows

When I travel, I always expect a bit of adventure and some surprises (good or bad). I keep in mind that nothing will be totally perfect, and I don't complain about details that are part of the inconvenient of not to be in the comfort of my home (like so many do). Understanding all this, I give 5 on 5 for Weekender Villa Beach Resort (not to be mistaken with Weekender Resort). This place is cool and "cool". These cute, rustic little cabin/villa are almost totally in the shade of majestic trees. The beach just in front in not the greatest but the swimming pool is nice and clean. They have a very good restaurant with local food prepared by local people. If you want some special seafood, just place your order, and they will get it fresh from the market for you and cook it ready at the time you want it. They have a computer with internet you could use for free (I wish they could add a webcam and Skype). In the room you have a CD player and a whole lot a good movies to chose for free near the bar (accessible 24 hours). The location is in a quiet zone, away from the party beaches... where you could alway chose to go with a share taxi for just 50 baths or so. I personally rented a bicycle for 10 days for 1000 baths (there is a rental shop not too fare). There are of course motorbike rental every where. I recommend Weekender Villa without any hesitation.

Holes in the sheets, didn't have a warm feel to it, our room was not at all what was in the picture, pictures of the whole places are very deceiving. Wee walk into town. Very noisy traffic. But fine for one nights stay.

Staff excellent. Would recommend here to everyone. Right on the beach. Swimming pool. Big rooms. Air con. It's great!

Having read the reviews on this hotel we were looking forward to our stay but were very disappointed on arrival-there was no atmosphere in the communal area,the rooms were so grotty & smelt terrible. It was really run down & I did not feel safe leaving any of my possessions in the room as the door to the room was so old & weak. The room smelt like it was previously a smoking room & was stale. In the end we moved to another hotel as we couldn't face sleeping there. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

LOVES IT LOVED IT LOVED IT This was my own little bit of paradise, So laid back and chilled. Brad Sak and the girls were more than helpful,you needed anything they would try their best to help. It's a little walk from main Lamai but that's easy to get around by walking along the beach or getting a baht bus into town.. Its a quite little place with a pool and small beach ,

This place is great, we highly recommend staying here. the place is in a fantastic location with great facilities including a swimming pool, right on the beach, moped hire, a bar and awesome food!! the staff here really know how to cook!! the rooms are a decent size, well priced, air conditioned and serviced each day. the staff are very knowable about the area and recommend good places to eat and see and also places to avoid. we spent songkran (thai new year) in samui with the staff of this place and we had the best time, they made us feel so welcome and we were sad to leave. we would most definitely stay here again and everyone should give it a shot.

LOVEDDDD this place!! i LOVE the staff! it's SUPER clean and the food is amazing! I loved having the pool, it's quiet and away from the touristy beaches where they keep trying to sell you things! I can not wait to come back to the weekender villa, it's truly an escape and a home away from home. What a pleasant energy and truly just an oasis.

We enjoyed our first four nights at Weekender Villa so much that when we were passing back through a week later we stayed two more nights. You really do get great value for your money especially considering the beachfront location (with pool). Weekender Villa is definitely a budget resort so don't expect a 5 star experience but I would challenge anyone to find something equal or better for the same money in Lamai Beach or Koh Samui in the high season!

Overall, the experience was fine, although it gave kind of desolate feeling. It is a little away from main Lamai Road, so while it was quiet, it also was away from action.

I can say it is just at the beach. The front desk? has only two people . They are very helpful but their help is only restricted to some areas. Travel arrangements out of hotel is only restricted to koh samui airport. There are no pick up or drop facilities to the pier, nor they guide you be giving phone numbers or such for same. You have to go to some travel agents outside. The room given in the beginning was quite bad and after request it was changed. The good thing is the wifi but only in the common area, not in your room. But the view when you sit near the pool is very nice,and ofcourse the staff (two) are very courteous.
