The Pool at Hansar Samui Resort

"Drag yourself from your sunbed to take dips in the beachfront saltwater pool, or for a refreshing alternative to sun and sand head for the Luxsa spa"

"You’ll be surprised how spacious this hotel feels, with its long beachfront and just 74 low-rise rooms (all with huge shower areas and sea views from their big balconies), set around gardens and a pool"

"The restaurant and bar also provide nice views of the sea, as does the large outdoor pool"

"The sea-view infinity pool has plenty of deck furniture, an adjoining bar and grill supply sustenance, and pool boys bring cold towels and ice water at regular intervals"
