Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday; For families with children
In fact, we rested in the same bay, but in another hotel, which is not on this site. But I specially took a couple of photos of the Samui Yacht Club hotel and, in fact, I share them with you)))
A few words about the bay.
It is small, fenced with boulders on both sides, so you will not see any sellers of crabs, shrimps and other goodies. There were also few people at first. When the sea is restless, it is better to enter it from the side of the Crystal Bay hotel - there the bottom is practically without stones. In good weather, when the sea is calm, the bottom can be seen very well and the stones can be bypassed. The bay is very suitable for families with small children. From the edge of the shore to a depth just above the knee there is a clean mirror bottom and children can splash in the water, then there is a series of pitfalls and even adults, and even more so children, do not dare to go along them. In these stones live black lively fish that guard the territory. There are also small white fish and somehow even a squid swam in shallow water.

The water is clear, especially in the morning. By evening, it heats up to the temperature of fresh milk and vacationers in shallow water wallow for hours. But in the bay, the sun quickly hides behind the mountain and disappears completely at 16-00.
When the new moon began, the tides began to ebb. But it is difficult to call it low tides, the water leaves a maximum of 2 meters, and in the morning it returns.
With the advent of low tides, the number of people coming from other hotels has increased dramatically. Here are the most inconspicuous low tides seen in 10 days on Koh Samui.
This hotel has its own restaurant and is located on the beach. Prices are, to put it mildly, not cheap. Therefore, if you want to eat without leaving the city, I recommend going to the Silver Beach restaurant - there are a lot of places, and the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. On average, lunch for two went for 400 - 500 baht.
The bay is wonderful and if next time I go to Koh Samui, then only here. Have a great holiday everyone : ))))
