churchill Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) New website shows beachfront hotels that really are on the beach Is that hotel really on the beach? According to John Everingham, you're more likely to find a true beachfront hotel on Koh Samui than anywhere else in the world 'Among the sandy statistics, Thailand shines, but Australia slumps. "Koh Samui has over 230 qualified hotels, making it the single 'biggest' true beachfront destination in the world," Everingham says. "Australia, which has vast coastlines, fares very poorly in the 'true beachfront' stakes, because roads were built right along most of its famous beaches long ago."

joe84330 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 that seems pretty high for such a small island but i'm not going out to count them myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itishothere Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Direct access points to any of the main beaches on Samui are rare, so I guess the numbers don't suprise me. I have perfected that arrogant 'I am a paying guest here' look as I saunter through a hotel to get to the sea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The absolute majority of guests stay in resorts directly on a beach and therefore don't walk through a another hotel to get to the beach. Secondly, working in the business since over 2 decades I have not heard of one tourist saying that. and thirdly, why care? maybe a future customer? or not?

BusyBee123 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 you can have as many beach front hotels as you like but surley you need a decent beach and water to be in front of them which samui is lacking big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
