Incredible!! One of the best hotel experiences for us. Private pool was much bigger than expected, the accomendation is gorgeous! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Couldn’t recommend more highly! Also the beach that he hotel backs onto is stunning!
Spotless rooms, amazing food, best bed ever! The outstanding service and fantastic location. I loved the hotel, especially the second floor terrace with the day sofa bed. I would definitely recommend this hotel for romantic gateway or for sole travelers looking for luxury and solitude.
We absolutely loved staying in The Lamai. The staff were wonderful and friendly and the hotel is in a tranquil and beautiful setting. The restaurant does delicious food for a very reasonable price.
Fantastic place to stay, with a great team making it a perfect relaxing environment away from the fun of Lamai and Chaweng. Pool access room was the way to go for sure.
The staff at this hotel really make your stay with them exceptional. You are made to feel so welcome and treated with courtesy and friendliness. The pool facility is fantastic and both restaurants provide great quality and speedy service. I really recommend this hotel
We stayed in a pool villa with ocean views and it was wonderful. A real buy. The hotel grounds are lovely and our villa was beautiful with traditional architecture. The only thing that nobody tells you is you cant really swim in the ocean at the property too swallow. There is a lovely beach a ten minute walk though.
Hotel is very nice, designed in a nice Thai style, we took the plunge pool room, which was nice but the toilet is outdoors so a little hot and humid ..
staff very accommodating, and very nice.
Location is in the outskirts of Lamai , so to go to the market or the Main Street you need a taxi / scooter.
The staff were fantastic, the breakfast was amazing and overall the resort was very good. The only reasons for being 4 and not 5 star were the number of steps everywhere ( my wife suffers from bad joints) and the water treatment in the swimming pools stung the eyes. Otherwise all good and recommended.
This is a lovely relaxing place to stay on Koh Samui. At a price. Beach access is great and you are only a 30minute stroll down the beach to the hustle and bustle of Lamai Town (or 5 mins in a taxi).
The food was average but there are many much better options close by at a fraction of the price.
We stayed in a pool access room and having seen other rooms we felt we had made the right choice.,
We were blown away with the beachfront villa that we had. We were impressed with the authentic look and feel of the villa but also in the fact that it had everything that we needed. The room was cleaned every day, the staff were very attentive and made you feel very welcome. The property is on the main road but is set well back and is very quiet. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely, the spread for breakfast was perfect and delicious. We especially enjoyed the privacy of having your own pool and couldn't have asked for anything more for our honeymoon! You won't be disappointed if you stay at this hotel.
This was my third time staying at this hotel and I was very pleased to find nothing had changed in the last 8 years as it's gone from being Le Meridien to The Lamai. Staff are extremely helpful, friendly and professional at all times and keep the whole resort immaculately maintained.
Hotel reception use WhatsApp to make arrangements and updates hassle free - whether arranging transfers, updating on events around the hotel, or general queries.
I stayed in a room a tier up from the type with a shared pool I'd stayed in before - the Pool Villa granted me my own (circa 6m sq) pool, 2 loungers and an shaded seating area with ceiling fan.
As a smaller boutique resort it was lovely and peaceful, whilst I don't think it's formally adult only, it feels refined and mature.
Getting into the heart of Lamai is a short (1-2km) walk, and can mostly be done along the beach. Taxis and scooter taxi can be easily booked via the Grab app, with a scooter turning up in a typical 3mins and fare to the centre no more than 60baht.
The hotel recommended a hire company which I hired my own scooter from for the duration of the stay and the ring road makes exploring the island and it's sights easy - you can easily get into more rural hilly areas within 15mins ride from the hotel.
I really enjoyed the tranquility of my two week stay and I didn't want to leave (must ensure my next stay doesn't have an 8 year gap)
The staff were very nice and the hotel has a lot of potential, however it’s very dated and old and is not very well maintained. We chose this hotel as it was “5 star” and the photos online looked great, however once we arrived we soon learned it’s not more than a 3 star hotel and the photos were not as good as we saw online.
It feels like they have just let the hotel go, with rusty equipment, dirty and broken sun lounges and the beach is not usable and sadly is not actually on Lamai beach.
The rooms were nice, however dark and for a so called 5 star hotel they give you instant coffee and a kettle. The air conditioning was also very temperamental and despite them coming to fix it one night it didn’t work and we spent the night sweating.
The breakfast was nice but again only 3 star quality.
I would not stay here again and do think they need to update the hotel and/or not charge the same prices as more luxurious hotels.
