Sans Souci Samui is a small beachfront hotel located at the quiet southern end of Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui's longest and most popular strip of sand. This value property sits right on the beach, with waves lapping up to the delicious open-air restaurant. There are only 22 rustic rooms here, all of which have red-tiled floors and humble wood and rattan furnishings. There are no safes and rooms include old school TVs, but they are spacious and offer a decent value for being right on the sea. Aside from a massage room, there's not much in the way of features, but there are plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute walk. Compared to the nearby Chaba Resort, Sans Souci is a far more charming option.
