Deva Samui Resort & Spa, Plai Laem
The Deva Samui Resort & Spa, Plai Laem is located near the Big Buddha and is just under 3km from Koh Samui's airport and around the corner from where I live.
With it's 4 star rating and 79 rooms, it lives up to the promises it makes, a nice and quiet hideaway, but be aware that the beach can be great to look at but is not very good for swimming due to the many rocks in the water.
On the other hand though, sunsets are awesome here, and there's a nice restaurant on the beach with a great view towards Big Buddha and the Bophud bay.
Plenty of restaurants, shops and other attractions are nearby, like at Fisherman's Village and Chaweng, both about 15 minutes away. it will be good to have your own wheels and you can rent motorbikes (drive carefully) or cars.
For a nice and quiet getaway with medium ranged prices, the Deva Samui Resort & Spa, Plai Laem will be a good choice with it's quiet location but still nearby plenty of busier places.
