First, let's take a moment to giggle at
the name. OK now let's appreciate the action-filled beachfront location, clean, bright,
polished cement detailed rooms and popular bar out front that's prime for mingling with
your toes in the sand. In all it's a great deal if you avoid the sour lemons on staff.

Off the main drag and a short walk to the
beach, this vine-covered cheapie has extra-clean, pink-tiled or wood-floored spacious
rooms, all decked out with air-con, hot water, TVs and fridges. It's a 10-minute walk to
the bar zone and not particularly hip, but good luck finding a better room in the area for
this price.

r 700-1500B; )
The row house doubles and deluxe
rooms in the new building have a warm, butter-yellow, near-Mexican style, but avoid the
darker, mustier bungalows across from reception. All walls are thin and despite the dis-
tance from the 'scene' (about 10 minutes' walking) this place is popular with partiers, so
bring earplugs if you're an early sleeper.

Queen Boutique Resort
( 0 7741 3148; queensamui@yahoo.com; r 700-1500B; )
The Queen offers up boutique
sleeps at backpacker prices. Reception is friendly and the clean well-equipped (with air-
con, TVs and DVD) rooms get style points from colourful throw pillows and modern
Asian art on the walls. However, most are boxy and many of them windowless.

Pott Guesthouse
(r fan/air-con 300/500B; )
The big, bright cement rooms all with attached hot-water bath-
rooms in this nondescript apartment block are a steal. Reception is at an unnamed res-
taurant on the main drag across the alley.
