Ewww...you'll be there at the busiest time of year with the heaviest crowds and highest prices. Lots of shopping, food and carousing available and the beaches are still OK, but it's not exactly pristine. (OTOH, if you want the luxury hotel then you have to rule out the more unspoiled places). Samui has really changed a lot in the last 10 years and not for the better, IMO, but it's still marginally better than Phuket and can offer things like rides to Ko Pha-Ngan (home of the full-moon party) and Ang Thong Marine Park. Those are worth checking out.

Going in March 2005...
I haven't gone yet. My friend and I have the trip planned for Dec 28-31. We're staying in the Impiana Cabana Phuket. Anyone know anything about it?

What would be the best alternative for someone looking for a quiet pristine beach?
