Q Signature Samui Beach Resort, Moet and dreadlocks

Then it was time to check in the last night at Q Signature Samui Beach Resort at Moo Bo Phut Surat Thani on Koh Samui. And that's an outstanding address ;) Overall, Q Signature Samui Beach Resort was amazing regarding all possible facilities under the sun like gym, SPA and pool tables along with a private beach, huge rooms equipped with absolutely everything you can possibly need staying for weeks and several bars and restaurants. However, the expression 'alternating current' had a slightly different meaning here, since there was in fact no electricity for about 3 minutes, then full blast for another three, back to none again throughout the day. Hence the whole 'alternating' business. There were also highly interesting temperatures regarding the shower water (either it was imported directly from the north pole or almost boiling), the reception staff which had a very weird attitude and the amounts of broken sun umbrellas were quite impressive. None of the latter really mattered to us, but it was not what we expected at a luxury resort and we were quite happy we hadn't payed full price. 


Coming straight from a diving trip, we probably didn't fit the description of their everyday clientele when we arrived

We were still showed to our suite, which was more like a little house with a very classy decorated living room..

..and the whole setting was built in a terrain manner..

..with the bedroom half a stair down from the top area..

.. which again had very tasteful decoration and lovely colors

The bedroom opened up and out to a private back yard with a sun deck..

..another little lounge deck with really cute rocking chairs, in front of one of the ponds..

..on both sides of the deck

 Our pool had little elephant statues spraying water (rather ridiculous) and a jacuzzi part.. 

..which of course it had to be tried out..

..followed by a nice relaxing stay in the sun. For five minutes ;)

All in all, we were quite pleased with our new stay and the hits just kept on coming..

..as we checked out the rest of the house and the sun set over Koh Samui

The bathroom was enormous..

..including a walk-in shower, leading out to..

..the outdoor shower..

..and the jacuzzi

Considering this was the current natural-dreadlock-hair-situation I had to face, refusing to use shampoo if I'm on an island hopping vacation, and we were planning on a restaurant visit..

..the products in the bathroom came in very handy

Along with a very nice bottle of champagne it really did the trick bringing us back to civilization!

The staff in the restaurant were really great and the live performer absolutely fantastic, along with amazing starters such as cheese baked mussels..

..and tiger shrimps in garlic, sweet basil and cream
