Al's Resort
On the sand in Chaweng, with two pools and no fuss.
A resort in Chaweng
Al's Resort is a three-star beachfront property in Chaweng, Koh Samui's most active beach district. The resort has two swimming pools, an on-site restaurant, room service, and a free airport shuttle — a practical set of basics for a beach stay. Guest counts sit close to 1,000, and the property earns a 4.0/5 overall rating. Location and staff are the two qualities most frequently singled out by reviewers. Rooms range from compact garden-view doubles to a 56 m² Villa Suite, giving solo travellers and couples a few tiers to choose between.
Who'll feel at home here
A straightforward beachfront resort with two pools, a restaurant, and easy access to Chaweng's main strip — comfortable without being elaborate.
Best for
- Beach-focused couples
- Travellers who want beachfront access without a large resort price
- Guests needing airport transfer convenience
- Those who want a private villa option at a three-star rate
Less suited to
- Travellers seeking a large resort with extensive facilities
- Those wanting suite-level space on a tight budget
Beachfront position in Chaweng
The resort sits directly on Chaweng beach, one of Koh Samui's most visited stretches of sand. Guests have direct beach access without crossing a road or walking through another property.
Two pools on site
Two swimming pools give the resort more water space than most three-star properties in this category. The Courtyard Suite and Villa Suite both have pool views, so guests in those room types can see the water from their terrace.
Villa and suite room tier
At the upper end, the Villa Suite covers 56 m² with garden, pool, and inner courtyard views and its own terrace. The Villa Deluxe is a self-contained unit with a queen bed, garden view, and a private courtyard aspect — more separation from the main building than a standard room provides.
Sea-view rooms with balconies
The Deluxe Balcony Sea View room is the largest of the standard tier at 35 m², with a terrace and sea outlook. The Executive Suite goes further: a king bed, sofa bed in a separate living area, and balcony views across the sea, garden, and pool.
