Probably not as getting there is big hassle. bangkok hotel to koh phangan resort took me around 7 hours: wait at airport, 1 hr flight to samui, wait at samui airport for bus to ferry, wait at ferry, 1/2 hr ferry ride to phangan, motorcycle to resort.
Unless an airport is built, it will probably remain cheap but overbuilt. Before the building boom began, the cheapest bungalow went for 100 bahts. Apparently the full moon festivals are extremely lucrative for the drug trade, so much so that they added 2 half-moon festivals each month.
