Quite getaway
Stayed in Pool Villa. Had a small private pool in our villa. The only thing is the shower and bathroom were outside ( outdoors) of the bedroom. A bit inconvenient and lots of mosquitoes!

5 nights in Lamai
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.

6/10 Good

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.

Unstable Wifi in our 4 days stay, we told to the staff but Wifi remained unstable. We expect 5 stars hotel to provide spa with Sauna and Jaccuzzi, hotel asks 800 bhat per hour for whirpool bath (was empty) and there is no Sauna. The hotel has too many stairs - 26 stairs to the lobby then you need to walk 100-200 meters and then climb another 26 stairs to your room - very unplesent. Pool was clise at 18:00 which is really rediculous. So sorry, for this price, for a 5 stars resort I was highly dissappointed.

Used to be an amazing nice hotel and In immaculate condition when it was run by Les Meridian. We had stayed there multiple times pre-COVID. Now it’s looking very dated, nothing to do in the hotel (they used to run little events- cooking lessons etc..). Now there’s really nothing to do there. The beach front is dirty and full of litter, plastic and dead fish. This small beach area in front of the hotel used to be cleaned regularly and this is no longer the case. I see other hotels cleaning their beach area daily - this hotel does not. Also Lamai and the immediate area around the hotel also seems to have not recovered from Covid - places we used to go to are gone etc.. All this and they still charge what Les Meridian charged when it’s not as good seems unreasonable. This was our third and last time we will stay there - which is a shame. No fault of the staff and people working there- they are brilliant, just seems to be the people running it trying to do it on the cheap.

Food menu was very limited, hotel needs maintenance. Beach was rocky underwater difficult to swim had to stick to the pool and toilet in room you could not put toilet paper in it. Open bin was provided but that is embarrassing

Fantastic stay on Koh Samui
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.

Best hotel in Lamai for sure
We booked this hotel last minute as our previously booked and paid for hotel cancelled last minute. We were so happy at The Lamai Samui. It was serene, pool was gorgeous, staff friendly and food was great. We had 5 nights in total, 1 in a terrace room and 4 in a private pool villa. Pool villa was lovely, very private and loads of space. We were sad to check out and wished we were staying. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Very poor for a 5 star
Very dark room, bathroom was open shower and it smelled. Tv far too small for room and hardly any channels in English, you would expect satellite tv in a 5 star establishment. Drawers kept sticking, furniture old and not too clean either. Pool was nice. Very shabby hotel

The property was beautiful at night with the lights in the dining area and around the trees. I especially liked the dock extending from the beach. The breakfast buffet was great and enjoyable with the view of the pool and beach. The staff was very friendly and efficient. It was great to use the mats in the fitness center to stretch and do yoga.

This property is beautifully set in an established garden on Lamai beach. The rooms are nicely designed with a classic style that suits the tropics. We were very impressed by the friendly service that always did there best to assist inspite of being a team that is only 1/5 of what it was pre Covid. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this hotel to anyone, especially if you can indulge yourself with a stay at their beach villa, so very beautiful.

The staff were all first class at this property. The concierge was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on checkin and through our stay. The Ocean Front Private Pool Villa was stunning. My partner and I did not want to leave, it was such a treat. Refreshing welcome drink on arrival. Welcome fruit in our villa. It had such a lovely vibe. The double deck chair to relax and take in the ocean view one way, another chill out area to get an alternate view, the pool with lights and jets, the frangipani tree overhanging, giving some shade and dropping beautiful fragrant flowers into the water. We just loved it all. Housekeeping were very thorough. New covers on the deck chairs and chill cushion, cleaning the pool, every little detail. The restaurant has 2 levels and we sat upstairs all the time, which looks down on the main pool and on to the ocean and pier. The food was amazing and the cocktails were fantastic. The service and staff at the restaurant and indeed everywhere on the property were second to none. Would love to go back for a longer stay.
