Everyday was sunny & hot (but acceptable). The Chaweng beach is very long with tiny white sand & clear water. We almost had our dinner at the restaurants on Chaweng Beach Road everyday. There are a lot of Italian & French restaurants as well as seafood, fuison, etc. However the price of food & transportation there is a bit expensive (like Phuket). Island trip is a must-go activity. There are a lot of big-sized fish, coral reefs, sea cucumbers, etc under the sea. The water is extremely clear & the sand is as white as snow. Another fantastic activity is swimming with sealions - really worth to go!
I'm planning to visit Samui again next year.
All in all, my comments on Samui is Good, Very Good, Excellent!

Sorry for my slow response coz I was extremely busy after I came back from Koh Samui.
It was cool to swim with the lovely sealions. I booked it online before my departure to Samui. My hubby, my boy & I joined the 1-hour splash session which charged at Bh5000/pax. There were total 3 groups of family (incl us) joining the same session that day. The coach gave us a short brief & we were asked to put on lifeguards before jumping into the pool (3M depth). One of the staff kept taking photos for all the participants. All the photos were saved into a CD-ROM charged at Bh600. Very reasonable price with good quality - we got around 80 pictures. The fee of Splash session including a roundtrip transfer. You can leave from hotel & go anywhere after the session. We've got 15% discount off coz we made our reservation online. As I also got a coupon of 20% discount for 1 person from the book "蘇梅好路數", therefore the total charge for my family for the Splash Visit was Bh4,350 only (incl the CD).
In fact, I'd strongly recommend you to book all the activities through local travel agencies there coz the hotel will raise the price for commission. Also, my experience tells me different travel agencies have different prices for the same activity. I checked with 1 agent on my 1st day arrival for some activities. Then I checked with my hotel for the same. The different could be Bh500/head. My was so lucky that I finally found an agency with the lowest price for my island trip & elephant trekking (I don't have the details on hand now, will advise later). Actually, there are a lot of agencies on the Chaweng Beach Road. Do check more agencies to compare the price.
I got to quit now. Will leave more info when I find time. See the Sealion link below:
