Aloha Resort, Samui

Aloha Resort We stayed at this hotel for a full-week during our five-week tour of Thailand. The location of the hotel was excellent; away from the noise but a short walk to entertainment, restaurants and bars. Beachfront was definitely superior and we were so pleased to be able to upgrade to a room with a spectacular beach view. The pool was excellent, however, there was not enough lounge chairs to accommodate all of the guests. Rooms were spacious, although not well maintained and just marginally clean. Front-end staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. However, the procedures used by staff at reception for the safety deposit box did not provide us with a feeling of security, and we were forced to do our financial business in front of other people at the counter. The room was older, fairly clean and needed maintenance. No smoke detectors in the room. Plugs for the TV, appliances and lamps were wired directly into the appliance cords (there were no wall plugs) and appeared to be a fire hazard. The hotel had posted signage requesting that guests not support the beach vendors in order to keep the beach clean and quiet. We personally found this signage offensive and self-serving, and we did not honour this request. The beach vendors in this area proved to be courteous, personable and very friendly.

Our group consist of 6 adults and two kids age 2 and 4. We were happy to stay at Aloha perfect location nearby the sea on January 2009. All the service are also nearby. Water pressure in the room were sometimes very weak and and our friends need to run out the water for 15 min to get it warm. We were very happy stay at Aloha Lamai!

Although breakfast is bit poor, but location is good and has quiet beach.\nGood for relaxation.\nTotaly I can recommend this hotel and I want stay next time.
