Tracking Down the Best Deals in Koh Samui Hotels

By John Beresford


International travelers are flocking to Koh Samui in Thailand to experience its impeccable hospitality, untouched landscape and spectacular beaches. To accommodate this ever-increasing flow of tourists to this tiny green island, Samui hotels have come up in all budget ranges, from 6-star to dormitories. Across the island, more so in the beachfront, accommodation is available from backpackers to affluent tourists seeking maximum privacy and comfort.

Due to the presence of large number of hotels, there is high competition among them to lure customers. If you know how to exploit this situation, it is possible to stay in a 5-star accommodation by paying the tariff for a 3-star or a 2-star Samui hotel. However, choosing hotels based only on tariffs is not advisable, as chances of ending up in a stinky hole that can ruin the whole show.

There are two surefire methods of choosing a good hotel at the lowest tariff possible. The first one is booking rooms through an online agent. And, the second method is to book the hotel directly as a repeat guest. Koh Samui hotels offer huge discounts for repeat guests, if asked for the same. As the second option is available only to those who have visited the island earlier, online booking agents are the best bet for first-time visitors.

The best hotel deals are found in websites listing major hotels in Samui. These websites are a veritable treasure trove of information about the hotels by listing their facilities, rates, discounts, reviews and images. The sites are able to offer such low rates because the hotels extend them huge discounts for bringing in large volume of business. The same hotels do not offer rooms at such low rates even to walk-in guests.

While booking Samui hotels through websites, the best deals are available if rooms are booked well in advance. Many of these sites have extra features such as tour packages and transportation. Making use of all these is immensely helpful for first-time visitors to the island, as it can help them plan the entire vacation within their budget.
