Adrian Dixon 2008-10-08	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach Very good, nice friendly staff, rooms clean and now have good wifi internet access. 24hr restaurant is also very handy	No problems, good service
Joseph corcoran 2008-08-28	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach The mermaid is a very laid back place to stay. Everything is clean the food is good and children are very welcome. We were always met with a smile. It felt like being home. Basic but more than adequate rooms with air con and T.V. Coffee and tea making facilities.
Elena Bosisio 2008-08-16	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach Bad position and very easy room
Diana Nomeikaite 2008-08-11	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach We stayed for just one night, and to be honest, you would have to pay me to stay any longer. Although a free pick-up from the airport was promised, after standing around for 40 minutes we realised it wasn t happening and made our own way (taxi fare was almost the same as the room rate). When we arrived and asked why we weren t picked up, the receptionist said she forgot and laughed it off, when we mentioned a compensation, she just ignored us. In addition, the bungalows are right on the plane landing path, so sometimes it feels that the roof of the bungalow is coming off! You can really find better in Koh Samui, at least with less rude staff (even for resort standards!)	OK
Petri Korpela and Sanni Roinevirta 2008-06-17 until 2008-06-19	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach It was in close distance from the airport (which means you can hear the airplanes very well). Good place for your first night after arrival. Good service and beautiful view. We had a seaview room, but our view was just partial, but it was about 5 second walk away from the beach. (good beach). We had a bad luck in timing because part of the hotel was under construction. (loud noises starting from 7 am.) We also had a car picking up, but we gave the wrong time so our driver waited for us for over an hour and we didn t show up. Sorry about that. All in all the hotel was clean and nice. We recommend. :)	All went well. We had no problems with the booking.
MIss Lauren Hannah 2008-06-15 until 2008-06-27	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach I have stayed in Samui Mermaid before, hence the reason for going back. The rooms are very reasonably priced and location is perfect for the north/north east of the island, not to mention the bars and eateries along Bang Rak Road. Staff are very friendly and helpful, restaurants serve good but cheap food and being on located on the beach, makes it feel like you have that bit of paradise on your door step. Well worth a visit.	I always use this service for booking my accommodation whilst in Thailand. Its convenient, easy to use and response is fast.
Philip S 2008-03-29 until 2008-03-31	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach Good reliable service at this resort. They will pick you up at the airport on time. They speak English well. The price is reasonable for what you get. Nicely maintained gardens and pool. The noise from the planes didn t bother me. I would stay here again.	Fast and professional. I have used sawadee.com many times, you can trust it!
Jaqueline Singh 2008-03-12 until 2008-03-22	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach I liked the hotel. The only problem I had was, if you don t hang the make room up now sign on the door, they will NOT make up your room automatically. However, the food at the adjacent restaurant was excellent (24-hour room service!). It was also well-priced. The bar next to the rooms on the side of the road opposite the lobby is amazing. The bartender s name is Bud. He s been working there for 3 years and he s quite the character. Order the Baghdad Special, it s a great drink. All in all, the rooms are nothing to call home about. They re extremely basic - However, the price is right, and it s in a relatively calm location versus being in Chaweng or Lamai. The bungalows and the pool area are all neat and nice. The staff is pretty friendly, and they have internet access/wifi for (cheap) purchase in the lobby. They will give you a free ride to/from the airport (10 mins away). All in all, I stayed about 10 days and don t regret it one bit. It was a good value. If you re a light sleeper and plan on sleeping during the day... Planes pass overhead about once an hour/once every two hours. Very close overhead.	The booking service worked perfectly. They had my reservation in their system and I paid for a taxi from the airport - They thought I was coming in later than my actual arrival, and were a bit vexed about this :)
James Gregory 2008-03-07 until 2008-03-08	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach Close to both the airport and ferry to Ko Phangan. Overbuilt and frayed around the edges. Very loud plane noise overhead.
Mr David Horn 2008-03-06 until 2008-03-10	Samui Mermaid Resort, Big Buddha Beach Ok resort, reasonable location. Great restaurant (same resort, just over the street) with the best Thai Green Curry we had anywhere during our stay in Samui. Rooms are clean and pleasant, but we had to have cold showers for the first day...but in my opinion..for the same price there were better nearby alternatives. Breakfast was not included in the price of our rooms because we had booked online(???) despite a sign in reception stating all room prices included breakfast.And the waitress in the restaurant was very unhelpful. Also we were told that we would get a free airport pick up, but the hotel did not send a taxi and said they had no record of this arrangement. (They did not refund the 400 baht taxi fare) All in all, an OK resort suitable for maybe a few days if you are visiting that end of Samui, or want to be near to the airport.	Great reservation service with quick response to emails...but.....despite an email from sawadee confirming that we would get a free transfer from airport, it seems that the hotel were not notified?
