Frommer's "This upscale low-rise resort is part of the Kata Group and sits right on the north Chaweng seafront, among tropical vegetation and lotus ponds." Full review
Lonely Planet "At the end of a small lane at the north end of Hat Chaweng, Papillon takes its name from the giant butterflies that flutter around in the dense resort garden."
Fodor's "Vaguely Balinese in design, this classy boutique hotel makes use of dark woods—often as a stunning contrast against stark white or shimmering gold." Full review

"Many guests are drawn to the upscale Novotel Samui Resort Chaweng Beach Kandaburi by the size of its 181 modern rooms -- especially the huge bathrooms with deep tubs and rainfall showers." Full review

Concierge "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."
Fodor's "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
Jetsetter "A high-design hideaway dotted with artwork and sculptures on one of Koh Samui's best beaches." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "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
DK Eyewitness "The minimalist white rooms are striking and the restaurant called The Page is excellent."
Star Service "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
Rough Guide "High-concept design hotel, based around a library of books, DVDs and CDs with computer terminals."
Lonely Planet 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
OysterLuxury
"With its superb design and striking red-colored swimming pool, The Library is arguably the hippest luxury beachfront resort in Koh Samui." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "There’s nothing like relaxing on a beautiful beach with a good book, and the luxurious, modern The Library hotel set along Koh Samui’s famous Chaweng Beach takes this notion to the next level." Full review
