Hotels near Crystal Bay

"This was quite a nice hotel for the amount that I paid. It’s a bit rough around the edges but care is taken to really give the place a luxury, wellness vibe. It’s right on Lamai beach and not very crowded. Plenty of options to find your own private swimming spot on the beach, which i really liked. There are 2 nice big swimming pools and the surroundings are so very nicely landscaped. "

"Excellent place good service "

"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)"

"View from beachfront villa was spectacular. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Hotel is on a main road so transport can hard to sort out"

"We had a family room which was two rooms together with an adjoining door. Very spacious and very nice. Would definitely go again."

"I had a wonderful stay at The Kala Samui. The view was absolutely magical, and the hotel itself felt both simple and elegant. The location was convenient, and everything was easy to reach. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a beautiful place with stunning views and great atmosphere – highly recommend!"
