This mid-range hotel houses 60 contemporary rooms an eight-minute walk from Lamai Beach. Unlike many hotels in the area, Lamai Buri Resort's decor doesn't have the traditional Thai style that some guests may hope for, but the design throughout is attractive and incorporates lots of wood. Guest rooms offer modern amenities such as air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi (though it's unreliable), minibars, and safes. TVs are provided, but some are old tube-style. Many (but not all) rooms offer a furnished outdoor seating area. The outdoor pool is pleasant and the restaurant's food and free breakfast receive positive reviews. Unfortunately, there are almost no other features to speak of. Those looking for more to do on-site may prefer Thai House Beach Resort, which has a fitness center and a beachfront massage house.

Movenpick Resort Laem Yai Beach Samui is a stylish upscale property set in large gardens along a little visited Laem Yai Beach. The 50 guest rooms are elegantly designed and have pretty floral motifs, but some are a bit cramped for this category. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. The resort has two large swimming pools, plus a kids' pool. There's a restaurant and bar out by the beach and pool, and a small spa as well. While the beach here isn't very attractive, the views of Angthong Marine Park are stunning and it's a 10-minute drive to the mainland ferry terminal. For more contemporary rooms and more to do within an easy walk, the Sea Koh Samui in Bang Po is just slightly pricier.

Montien House is a two-and-a-half-pearl beach hotel with 72 rooms that sits along crowded and lively Chaweng Beach; it's close to dozens of restaurants, bars, and shops. Rooms range from traditional hotel rooms and cottages to private pool villas. The resort has beach loungers out on the sand, a beautiful swimming pool set just off the beach, and an adjacent restaurant that charges extra for breakfast and is known for seafood. Montien House is popular with tour groups (so expect crowds), but there isn't much to set it apart in terms of design or facilities. Those who want to spend a bit more might like the more stylish Samui Verticolor, though it's not directly on the beach.
