AM Samui Resort - Taling Gnam, Koh Samui
Excellent value for money because we got two bungalows for 3 nights, Tues to Thurs, for a total of €165. Think it was a special offer because I was quoted €166 for one extra night. Great sunset views but with weather we only saw one sunset. Restaurant was good and reasonable value but I heard reports from other travellers of better quality restaurants nearby. Manager was really nice, friendly and very helpful but did not get that sense of iconic Thai friendliness from rest of staff. This is a perfect place if you want a base for touring different attractions around Koh Samui or if you want to lounge in the sun, swim in the pool or sea, do some water sports, but don't expect nightlife - it is very quiet at night with zero entertainment.
The bungalows were very nice, great size and clean - I felt bedlinen was not the crisp clean white I would expect to see in a quality resort like this, but that is a very minor gripe.
All in all I found this a great place to stay but personally I found it boring at night. My friend stayed in the second bungalow we rented and we were disappointed when the bar closed at 11.30pm and we were refused a drink to bring back to our bungalows.
If you are with a gang of people or if you are a romantic couple and can make your own entertainment at night then this is a paradise.
