Option facilities, where to stay on the island of the Self Tourist, a lot. You can find a premium class hotel, and you can take something very simple. But for the most part, the price is high, if compared with the mainland.
Local residents and tourists come to rest. I advise you to book a hotel in advance, especially when there comes a high season (winter months). Although, considering that there is no rainy season here, then you can fly on the Samet at any time of the year. Weekend from Friday to Sunday are very popular, these days hotels raise the cost of rooms, and the demand from this does not become less.
During this period, if you arrive on the island yourself, it is not a fact that it will be possible to find something decent.
Most hotels are located in the east and northeast of the island. It is there that the entire tourist infrastructure is concentrated. If you want more silence, peace and privacy, then go to the southwest coast, but also hotels here are more expensive.
The worst destination is the western part of the island, the shores are bad, very rocky. Exception is the beach of JSC GRAO.
And now let's tell more in more detail about the beaches of the saline and some hotels.
The central part of the island is the town of Samat. Here is the majority of budget hotels, the tourist infrastructure is well developed: a cafe, restaurants, the evenings are playing pleasant live music. But the quality of the beach is not very good here.
On the Samat, there are pier for arriving here (just here and tourists from Pattaya). Therefore, stopping here, you can easily walk on foot.
If you walk 15 minutes on foot, then you will find yourself on the most popular beach of Sameta - Hut Sai Keu , he seems to be considered to be a continuation of the place to the Samat, but the sand on the beach is an order of magnitude better: snow-white, small, crisp. The coastline stretched to a kilometer. On Hat Sai Keu has all the conditions for recreation: cafe, restaurants, evenings playing live music here too. There is a small beach shop. The beach offers massage and Fish Spa.
Hut Sai Keu
AO Wongduan - Very picturesque, green beach with plenty of palm trees and other exotic trees, I don't know the names of their alas. It is located in the east of the island, more cozy than Hat Sai Keu. The length of the coastline is 500 meters. Hotels in this place are distinguished by their high level and expensive prices. There is also infrastructure on JSC: cafes, restaurants, shops, massage salon and beauty salon.
AO Wongduan
JSC Phai. A small cozy beach with snow-white sand. With also a good infrastructure, in addition to cafes and restaurants here there are places where you can dance a little with the onset of darkness. But this does not mean that it is very noisy and actively. The beach of NO Phai is equipped with a large number of sun loungers and umbrellas.

JSC Clang. - The beach is secluded with a small number of holidaymakers. Ideal for those who are tired of big noisy cities. Paradise on earth. JSC Klang is very picturesque and green, straightly drown in a series of coconut palm trees. Sand quality on the beach is all the same high: white, crisp.

JSC Noya It is considered the cleanest on the Self. Without a stone bottom, white perfect sandy shore. In JSC, there are the most expensive and luxury hotels. It is very quiet here and calmly, the tourists will be able to entertain: snorkeling, beach volleyball. If you wish, you can walk and walk to other beaches, everything is near.

JSC GRA Some different from other beaches in the fact that it is separated from the rest of the island with rocks. This place is considered respectable, high-quality and expensive. Beautiful picturesque nature, from here perfectly admire sunsets, has its own observation deck. In Jo, Poo has very beautiful coral reefs, diving lovers here is the real paradise. As entertainment, tourists take on the rental of the yacht or catamarans, are active are actively engaged in windsurfing.
JSC GRA
JSC Cho Here is a pier, where tourists from the mainland also sail. JSC Cho is located next to the beaches of Queai Jo and AO Wongduan. JSC Cho itself is small, clean, cozy with a small tourist infrastructure. For those who want to stop economical (about course), it makes sense to book a hotel here.
JSC Cho
JSC Wai Place where there is nothing but hotels. Very quiet, beautiful and secluded. If at some point of rest you will become boring, then to any entertainment of the island you will have to go by car, you can not walk on foot.
As you can see, the choice is very large. There are active beaches, and there are completely secluded. As for hotels, I will tell you a little about those who have seen and their overall concept.
