good clean rooms.

None

good breakfast. frendly staff/ very good and clean swimming pool/ good location totally resonable when compared with the nearby hotels such as the Holliday inn or Mariott courtyard in the same area. The hotel pool is well decorated like the jungle or rain forest. The feeling of the guest is similar with living in their home. The corridor is made and dress up with tree and flowers with cozy condition. If you enjoy having the nice breakfast, it is recommended for morning meal with various choice without limitation. The time in this hotel is very valuable with unforgettable memories with nice service from staffs and the facilities as well. Hotel Feature Tip : Do not take the personal computer or laptop for assess free Wi-Fi because it make you

Good situuation. It was only about a 5 minute walk to the beach which suited us fine. Great pool and restaurant. Simple but nice rooms. I would definitely stay there again.

It's a bit far away from the main tourist beach but we were trying to escape the bulk of them so it suited our needs just fine.

This hotel was simple but the rooms were clean and nice, as was the price. The pool was wicked and the hotel would definietly be suited to a family. Lamai beach is only a 5 minute walk away but the main tourist area, Chaweng is about a 20 minute drive. You can hire scooters from the hotel so that solves that problem. Two minutes down the road is an array of shops, restaurants, bars and markets so this area really does have everything you could possible need. I would stay there again for sure.

It's a quiet, clean and safe place with friendly staff. Located at quiet southern end of Lamai beach, yet within a walking distance from the bar and shoppin areas.

Breakfast needs a little imrovment as it's a bit minimalistic (No vegs). There's no direct beach access (But this is Lamai's general problem, not the hotel's)

Lamai buri is located at the southern end of Lamai beach. Far enough to be quiet and have a beautiful sea view yet within a walking distance from Lamai's bars, eateries and shopping area. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean and safe. It's not directly on the beach, and you need to walk about 3 minutes between a and within resorts or bars to get to the beach itself. Lamai beach is highly recommended over Chaweng, as it still has action but it's clean, more quiet and much less crowded and polluted than Chaweng.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If you take the songtheus (The pickup trucks that serve as buses on Samui), NEVER pay more than 60 baht per person, even if the driver asks for more. He's just trying, he's a public service driver and your ride shouldn't cost more than 60 baht per person.

very clean, excellent pool.

not on beach.

rooms were a good size, staff very friendly, the pool was very beautiful and also a good size. if you stay in the garden rooms facing away from pool onto road can be a bit noisy, so worth paying a bit extra and staying opposite pool plus you get a balcony. as hotel is not on beach you have to cross road and walk a bit to beach. def recommend this place.

Nightlife Tip : most of the bars and all clubs are at other end of the road so good, if you want peace and quiet.

Not much of service if you are looking

Good cheap place to stay and easy 3 min walk to beach shopping area. Just rent a bike to travel around is so relax. nice pool but too small. No Room service as for food if you need it in the night.Will try other if price is right if not i will return.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Just rent a bike is very cheap for travelling around.

Great staff, great view.

Further from the beach than I expected.

When i booked this hotel i was somewhat under the impression the superior ocean view rooms were located above the bungalow villas that were right on the ocean. the actual distance was about a 1/4 of a mile from the ocean. As far as the room it was fine. The view was great. I arrive 1 day late because of the Bangkok airport closure and the hotel honored my 3 day voucher and let me stay 1 make up day no charge. The location is right near the Muay thai boxing training center. There is plenty of shopping and nightlife within a 10 minute stroll. The hotel is very very quiet at night however when i arrived it was not too full.

Big rooms, clean, great location & nice pool.

The staff finish working at 22:00 include lobby!

A very clean nice resort with good service and very welcome staff. The breakfast is nice. with great food sometimes with room service. Very quiet place - the location is great. Very big pool that open till evening. The staff of the resort leave it empty in the night – if you need something or something appended it’s a problem.

Very clean, well-maintained, stylish & modern. Large room with nice outlook over the good-sized pool.

No pool staff to help with umbrellas etc. Very tiring climbing many stairs after uphill walk from the beach and shops or even from the pool.

The hotel is very clean, stylish and modern, but has a strange dislocated layout with reception, breakfast restaurant, main restaurant and accommodation blocks seemingly randomly placed and unconnected, and with very few guests (and staff)now it seemed a bit desolate. Modest but adequate buffet breakfast included in the price. Quiet though located on the busy main road and near bars on the road to the beach.

Clean.

Need to walk to get the beach.

I stayed there for two nights but I did not feel any special feeling with the hotel which is unusual for me. I did not feel any difficulty or bad feeling with the hotel but I can say that I could not enjoy its atmosphere indeed. In 10 minutes by walk, you can get Lamai beach and nearby good restaurant. Location is OK but you can find better hotel at nearby the beach.

Beautiful, great pool area

Some of the TV stations have no sound

We were really impressed with this Hotel. We stayed in September (off-peak season) so it felt like we had the place to ourselves a lot of the time. It was lovely to relax by the large pool and look up at the many palm trees around the grounds. I would definitely recommend booking a room with sea views as the rooms at the rear of the hotel did not look at all impressive. We were lucky to get a room on a higher level so we could see the ocean from our room but were not sure if this would be the case on the lower levels. Lamai is a great alternative to Chaweng - a lot less commercial and the beach is just as nice.

Nightlife Tip : On Saturday night, there is free Thai kickboxing next to the food market. The food market itself is open every night, where we had the best food of our whole trip there.

The room is clean, and the hotel has swimming pool.

the address is not easy to find it.

the outside environment of the hotel is very beautiful, trees and flowers surround the hotel.I like the swimming pool, it looks very good. The room is clean, the bed is ok, the room size is big, and the hotel is close to the beach. However, since the hotel name is similar with another hotel, also,the address is not so clear, it is easy to confuse and difficult to get there. What's more important, though is that the staff are very kind and friendly. Anyway, this hotel made a good impression.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The hotel is near the beach, and the outside environment of the hotel is very beautiful, this hotel made a good impression. We will choose this hotel again if we come to Samui island.

proximity to the center of Lamai, the sea, at scooter rental

the incredible rudeness of the reception and the night watchman

stay at this hotel was nice because the amenities 'are many, the rooms quite spacious and clean, the bathroom a bit' meno.abbiamo had trouble with the rude reception from the start for no reason ex regarding the keys the evening had to wait long as the custodian was not present.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Avoid Vsita ko tao because 'not in our opinion really worth the effort.

Located on Lamai Beach, a clean, fresh, with a swimming pool, with a good breakfast and a responsive staff. For paid 1,500 baht for two people to have a beautiful room with a terrace and a view namore Pts. ok.

It may be too far from the sea for 5-7 minutes turn.

Otelchik very good, fresh and clean. Zabukoval him for 40 minutes before arrival. With Chaweng taxi for 300 baht able to take to the hotel. Taxi to Samui expensive mode of transport. At the reception showed a printout from Agoda and 3 minutes of everything. At the reception you can rent a Motobike for 150 baht per day, but the pledge is taken passport. At bany of Thai boxing and paragraphs Motobike rentals and jeeps. (Dzhipchiki rental yield for 700-800 baht) in the mountains to ski better on them. Sea beautiful warm, people are not too many. Quieter than Chaweng. The evening before bedtime opened the curtains in the room and woke up in the morning sunrise. In view of the rising sun beds above sea bewitchingodd lot. Quieter than Chaweng. The evening before bedtime opened the curtains in the room and woke up in the morning sunrise. In view of the rising sun beds on the sea captivates. Bathing in the sea at sunrise on a deserted beach in tepluschey water, slick after the ebb tide. After that, a good variety of breakfast (Swedish table) Excellent.

Travel tip : Motobike ride through the mountains. Go south otrova. There are few people, and beautiful.
