You cannot walk as the paths are so steep. I could not wait to leave - huge disappointment.
Wow, thanks for the head's up, vuittonsofstyle. We haven't been back to Koh Samui for about 6 years now, and the FS was the place we were considering if we had returned. Our previous trip, we stayed at the Baan Taling Ngam when it was a Le Royal Meridien, which at the time was considered one of the top resorts there, if not the best. While our 3 bedroom villa was decent, the design, layout and most of all, service, wasn't up to par to an Aman or even a Four Seasons. So I was happy to hear that they were building a FS there as I think the island itself, if you avoid the busy main streets, is quite beautiful. But hearing your report, I think we may find other options the next time we want to do a Thai island holiday.
