( 08 4660 0551; www.akwaguesthouse.com ; r from 700B; ) Akwa has a few funky rooms
decorated with bright colours but there's little natural light and everything is a bit past its
prime. There's no shortage of character, however, with teddy bears adorning each bed,
quirky bookshelves stocked with DVDs and cartoon paintings all over.

( 08 9874 3737; dm 200B; ) It doesn't look like much from the front, but the three
dorm rooms here are surprisingly spic and span and each has its own hot water bathroom
and air-conditioning. The staff are sweet too.

Jungle Club
( 08 1894 2327; www.jungleclubsamui.com ; huts 800-1800B, houses 2700-4500B; ) The peril-
ous drive up the slithering road is totally worthwhile once you take in the incredible
views from the top. This isolated mountain getaway is a huge hit among locals and tour-
ists alike. There's a relaxed back-to-nature vibe - guests chill around the stunning hori-
zon pool or catnap under the canopied roofs of an open-air săh·lah (often spelt as sala ).
Call ahead for a pick-up - you don't want to spend your precious jungle vacation in a
body cast.

room types here from rather bland standards to a private beachfront pool villa. The best
value is found in those such as the modern Asian-inspired 'Shinto' rooms and polished
wood bungalows. The whole place is hidden in foliage and serviced by an extra-smiley
staff.
