"Cozy Lil' Pad wif a Creative Touch!"

We have just returned fresh from the Akwa Guest House in Koh Samui today after a 4 nights stay at the Deluxe Room. It was purely by arbitrary web-surfing we found this lodging when we were trying to hunt for a last minute accommodation. The photos on the official website are quite an accurate reflection of what U will get in reality. There are daily room-keeping & provision of water, newspaper & new towels. The owner, Tim Schwan - a very interesting gentleman to meet, has been extremely fun-loving, warm & hospitable; he showed us where to get food, where he lived and introduced us to his 3 cats! No major frills about our stay at Akwa, if u reli have to nit-pick, I would say the guesthouse is not located at the most convenient spot - it's situated further from the main crowd and towards the quieter end of Chaweng, so if u need to look for food & more life in the crowd, u will need to walk down the stretch a fair bit. But hey, a little walking always bodes one well after a full meal yea? Akwa is easily accessible to the beach, probably 5 min away - U just need to cut through Poppies. Free DVDs which U can borrow to watch in your room, just remember to return it. In sum, I would recommend Akwa to patrons as the quality of the lodging for its price makes it value for money and Tim is such a mere joy to be with. :)
