Fodor's Expert Review Muang Samui Spa Resort

At this tranquil resort, a meandering garden path with small bridges and stepping-stones crosses a flowing, fish-filled stream. Brick walls instead of standard concrete provide an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient Ayutthaya. The Royal Suite has two hot tubs—one indoor, one outdoor. Other guests must settle for lavishly decorated Junior Suites with teak floors and elaborate carved headboards. Even the swimming pool blends perfectly into its surroundings, with a waterfall and grassy, palm-tree islands within its waters.
