I think, I will stick with the LM Koh Samui. LM Khao Lak and especially Naka Island look great, but looking at climate charts Koh Samui seems to be much drier this time of the year. (http://www.travelfish.org/weather/thailand)
It’s a pity that they don’t have a beach there, but as I read in the master thread there should be some nice beaches near the hotel. Definitely a good excuse to rent a scooter
