Stayed at Koh Samui in February and loved it. When we dined at the resort, we only ate at Zest. It's probably more expensive than it should be but not horrendous, IMO. And there is a lot of variation in prices depending on what you want to order. One night, I ordered a whole lobster and another night we did the Hot Pot, so both of those are going to be to the pricier side.

One day, we did a full day island tour of Samui, and we spent a few hours on Chaweng Beach. I really loved that beach, as well as the area. Was feeling the vibe of the place. But I also loved Koh Samui. On a future trip, I would absolutely do a split stay between Conrad and another hotel on Chaweng.
