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.,

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.

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.

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.

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.
