Don't get fooled by the agents waiting at Samui airport who try to get you into their taxis - walk a little further and get into a yellow and red meter taxi. The airport limo service will charge you double what the meter taxis will charge.
Lamai itself is charmless. Every other step along the main Lamai strip involves getting hassled by either someone who wants to give you a massage, wants you to go to their bar, or buy a suit. It gets very tiresome being asked "what country are you from?" everytime you pass a tailorshop.
Yes, I did read the guidebooks about Lamai, but I did not expect this. Even the European resort cesspits of aren't as bad as this (and yes, I've been to them in my youth). Although the hotel itself was fine, if I went to Samui again, I would choose a different location.

Restaurant and its staff were fantastic. Breakfasts were amongst the best encountered in 6 trips to Thailand and the staff maintained high standards of service.
Would stay here againGuest Rating: 4.3

Free internet lounge should be introduced to keep up with facilities offered by other hotels in the area. Free hotel transfers should be considered.
- Restaurant Tip : Walking along the beach there are many restaurants to stroll into, particularly if you like fresh seafood.
