"The bloodred-tiled pool is the dramatic centerpiece, with huge pillows and daybeds beside it. High white walls and black-lacquer floors provide museumlike backdrops for Thai antiques."
"This place is so fun that it's worth a visit for its amusingly hip decor—check out the white figures reading books on the lawn, inviting you to lounge as well." Full review
"A high-design hideaway dotted with artwork and sculptures on one of Koh Samui's best beaches." Full review
"In crowded Chaweng Beach, this 26-room hotel’s high style attracts a stream of beachcombers (prepare to show your key to the hotel gatekeeper)." Full review
"The minimalist white rooms are striking and the restaurant called The Page is excellent."
"Even from the airplane, this resort stands out on Koh Samui's crowded Chaweng Beach, thanks to its distinct and dramatic red-tile swimming pool." Full review
"High-concept design hotel, based around a library of books, DVDs and CDs with computer terminals."
Top Choice
"This place is too cool for school, which is ironic since it's called 'The Library'. The entire resort is a sparkling white mirage accented with black trimming and slatted curtains." Full review
