The 70-room Coco Palm Beach Resort is a mid-range property situated on the beach in Mae Nam. It's close to the ferry pier -- which means lots of nearby boat traffic -- and within walking distance of restaurants and bars. Rooms are a mixture of simple bungalows and villas, and some are showing their age. Others have been updated with nice Thai-style furniture and decor. All have air-conditioning and outdoor space, and some have private pools. Two restaurants are near the beach, and there's a bar by the pool. Massage treatments are available at the spa. Rates are low compared to other Mae Nam hotels, especially for being right on the beach, though it may be worth looking at ibis Samui back east in Bophut, where rooms are more consistent.

Escape Beach Resort is a three-and-a-half pearl resort located on a quiet end road between Mae Nam and Bo Phut beaches. There are 69 beach-chic rooms here, with modern amenities like free Wi-Fi, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. The star attraction is the pool, which looks right out to sea from one end. There's also a restaurant over the water, where a free breakfast buffet is served. The sunset can be magical, but the hotel's layout is compact at best. There aren't nearly enough spots around the pool to hang out, and the small rooms don't afford much privacy as the terraces are right next to one another. Additionally, there's not much beach here, even during low tides. For a bit more privacy, compare rates at the Beluga Boutique in Lamai.
