Accommodation and facilities:
The reception staff were very pleasant but as for the hotel I don t think I would stay there again. The room was fine but the juices in the fridge were out of date, after one shower the water ran out in the room and took some time to come back.
Reservation service:
As usual the booking service was excellent.

Accommodation and facilities:
I really enjoyed staying here, i like the tv in the room,nice shower and bathroom area, air con and stocked fridge with cold beer,all perfect then open doors out on to the balcony to view the sea and beach,but because the trees are thick and tall, you just dont get that view, that you wish for, if the company was able to lose a few trees there then that would be perfect, but why should we destroy the trees when we can walk to the beach, i dont know, it was just a shame we could not see the ocean view because of the trees. i also booked online, and when i arrived the hotel had no record of a booking, it was akward..but overall i enjoyed my stay and would like to stay again sometime, wth thanks Bruce Anderson
Reservation service:

Accommodation and facilities:
For the price I ve no complaints. Complex itself was lovely, on thre sea front, two good pools, a 24hr restaurant and bar and another restaurant bar overlooking the sea. Bungalows set in well maintained gardens. Basic fan bungalows are just that. Basic. They do have good cable tv with sports and entertainment channels in english, hot showers and flushing toilets. Fan cooling was adequate. Air con rooms much more nicely decorated. On the minus side, there is airplane noise between 6am and midnight. To sum up, great value for money. I d stay again if on a budget trip. Recommended
Reservation service:
Bit confusing waiting for people to e-mail me to take payment. Room was reserved as promised though.

Accommodation and facilities:
Pretty cottages, clean and well presented with small outside space to sit in the shade.
Extremely close to airport, at the end of the runway so not so quiet in the daytime, otherwise spot on.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the only thing that was a little annoying was the airplanes that were only like 100 m over our house. Other than that, great! +++

LOCATION MAP
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.
