About the hotel:
i am sorry to say that the room was awful, to my opinion it doesnt even have the standard-minimum quality its supposed to offer. the sheets very dirty, the walls too. its obvious that this hotel in koh samui doesnt respect the visitor, they only want to take your money, they are not interested for a good reputation. i knew about the aiplane issue in advance, so i was prepared, but this is something elseto experience. the hotel is very close to the airport. last but not least, i am very displeased with the behaviour of the staff, they were unfriendly, they were laughing at us and they only want to take your money. imagine that for a transport to the big budha pier (which is 5 minutes walk- but we wanted a transport because we had lots to carry) they asked 100 baht!! unbelievable! we found a taxi and the driver agreed to take us there for half the price. i would recommend it only to people who want to stay one night there (also for sex purposes, as they offer condoms in the room) or for people who want a cheap solution for the samui standards and they cant be bothered with quality details. it is not a value for money im afraid, sorry.

About the hotel:
I didnt like the location of the hotel. Too close to Samui airport. Airplanes go up and down all the time. It s not what you dream about when you are on Holiday. The other things are value for money.

About the hotel:
Hotel was clean and functional, good location for beach but very noisy as near aiport, but for the price this is what you would expect. Also great location for the ferry to Koh Tao etc.
When you arrive you have to give a 500bht deposit for the mini bar which was a surprise (although this is refundable when you check out). We gave a 1000bht note and got no change, we queried this and they said they had given us the change when they hadn t, despite numerous conversations with the manager etc they would not budge so watch your money!!

About the hotel:
Situated 5 minute walk from the pier and plenty to do nearby, No complaints really you get what you pay for and at £7 per night this is fine, only booked for 1 night as we had an 6am flight to bangkok.
The staff were very good came to our room at 4.30am and drove us th the airport free of charge.
About the reservation service:
excellent as usual

About the hotel:
On arrival the reception were very helpful. The rooms where to a good standard and also had a clean swimming pool which made are stay very enjoyable. over-all the mermaid resort is a great place to stay and would recommend to back packers on a budget.
BUT.... our room is right under the flight path of landing planes. after a few went over you didnt tend to take much notice of them so if you can put up with a few planes you will love the resort.
About the reservation service:
very good. quick and easy. will use again.

Period of the stay : Dec 20, 2009
About the hotel:
This is a good hotel for one or a few nights stay.
Clean and good bungalows.
The airport is very close. So you will definately hear the planes, but it didn´t bother us. It is within walking distance from the piers and to a market and some temples.
The pool looked dirty, but people were using it, so it cant be that bad.
The hotel has two parts. One on the beach and one on the other side of the big road were the pool and the bungalows are.
The beach itself is not the best. The sand is nice, you can take a swim, but it is too narrow to but a towel on.
About the reservation service:
Sawadee is usually very good.
This time we was a little confused. On Sawadee.
A little unclear they offer a pickup from the pier. We noticad that there also was a cost.And a very high price (300Bpp), it is 5 minutes walk.

Bang Rak is on the north eastern coast of Koh Samui and the
Samui Mermaid Resort is just five minutes from Samui International Airport.
It's a 15 minutes drive away from the nightlife of Chaweng, or in the
other direction, 15 minutes from quaint fishermen's village of Bophut.
Fortunately, due to local regulations, beachside properties
can be constructed no higher than the coconut tree canopy, so Bang Rak
has retained its " tropical Island" feel. |
  |
The beach is very quite clean, with soft golden sand.
Nearby piers have frequent ferries and speed boats to Koh Pha Ngan
and Koh Tao for diving, sightseeing or the monthly Full Moon
Party.
There are many restaurants within easy walking
distance of the resort offering all kinds of dishes, from Thai to Turkish,
and, French to Finnish ! There are also countless local bars if you
need to stop to take a rest during a leisurely stroll along the
beach. |
