Very well maintained resort!”
We stayed here for 8 nights and really enjoyed the time. Lovely and helpful staff, high quality rooms, good breakfast with lots of choices, nice pool area and gaming room and a well-equipped gym. Great value for money!

Thank you for recognising our Outrigger hosts who truly make the difference. I am so very proud and can't wait to share your positive feedback with them all.

Great start, helpful staff. ”
Stay was excellent. I have a very bad back and they did not hesitate to supply me with a memory foam topper, that made my bed very comfortable. Asking for a couple of extras, (hangers, and chair for my balcony), also was no trouble. WiFi was good enough for me to watch Netflix on my computer and work. Room was very nice and clean and quiet. Breakfast buffet comes with the room, it's basic cereals, toast eggs of choice, vegetables, fruit selection, and coffee or tea. Staff are all lovely and full of smiles. Location is very good and near central Lamai. The pool is nice and on the beach, beach not too clean, but okish. Just have to watch for the pool side edge as it's very sharp, you can cut yourself, you just have to be careful. Over all, lovely stay and would recommend. Thank you Manathai.

Best family and couple resort”
I have travelled to many beautiful locations in the world and MANATHAI Samui will be among the top properties I have stayed at. Highly recommend the two joining rooms if you travel with young children. This gave us family time and couple time. There is not one thing I can point out as negative and will definitely be back. Kudos to the staff who made the trip very memorable.

Nice hotel, but didnt change my sheets?!!?!”
Upon checking into the hotel, the room was absolutely CHARMING. The grounds were lovely as well. The food at the different restaurants was OK and a bit overpriced. My big issue was something I find unacceptable. After my first night sleeping in my room, I got out of bed in the morning and noticed a blood stain on my sheets... I thought it was odd because I definitely wasnt bleeding anywhere and didnt have any bites/scratches/marks.... but I just assumed it was a mosquito bite i got in my sleep and forgot about it- that is until house keeping came and when I came back to my room, I noticed the same exact blood stain but on the opposite side of the bed. I realized, they didnt actually change my sheets- but only flipped them over to the other side! This made me wonder.... was this someone elses blood from a previous visit? When the last customers checked out, did they just flip the sheets without actually changing them out? I hope i wasnt sleeping on someone elses dirty sheets :(

Stunning resort way too far away from everything ”
We were upgraded to the Lamai deluxe suite which was absolutely amazing and could not fault it. The only draw back staying here is that it’s too far away from the Lamai main strip. The hotel should really provide free shuttles as it’s about a 20 min walk in the hot heat. There is a beautiful English bar & waterfront bar but the hotel was dead in high season, the hotel guests don’t hang around as it’s too expensive, it’s such a shame. There aren’t any bars or many restaurants around so you need to be prepared to walk a distance to get anywhere. The transport is expensive, more than what we pay back home which was a bit of a shock. I wish we had stayed in the Main Street, 7 nights was way too long here.

Disappointment”
This hotel has no bell boys to help you with your luggage so reception staff have to double up to provide. Breakfast selection very poor. This hotel seems to have forgotten the essence of a good stay is not only the product but the customer service. If you have any issues then you are requested to use the hotel app to register and they will deal with it. Where did hotel guest relations go? For the price paid the hotel offers in return low value. Beautiful property on its own with the neo-colonial facade but it also takes good customer service. Overall not enough staff employed by the hotel to meet the needs of the customer.

The staffs are rude to Chinese”
The staff are discriminated when serving to Chinese. We have facing people long face but nothing we have done. Especially one of the lady (I guess is manager level lady in the breakfast restaurant, wearing blue dress), she keeps giving us long face which I feel so disappointed. When I pay tips, I finally got a smiley face. I’m a paying guest which I feel the service is not worth to pay that price but receiving these kind of service. I will never back to this hotel anymore. If you are western, you will receive a good service. The experience here is bad.

Very dated ”
We may have just come at the wrong time of year - but everything seemed dull and dated. The layout us strange - with the pool beig across a very busy road...which wasn't ideal with children. Food was edible - but not great and expensive

Buddy's for life!”
I booked this resort at very short notice as there was political strife in Bangkok and our planned trip to another place in Thailand was canceled at the last moment due to riots. We were advised to leave Bangkok for a few days and we decided on Koh Samui. A quick search on Agoda and we zeroed in on Manathai (or Buddy's as it was known then). Getting there was quite easy after a bit of homework and planning... We took a train and caught a ferry. Once at the resort, we again encountered a familiar experience - room pics and description on website did not match the real room - again, no jacuzzi in suite...I negotiated with the manager for complimentary breakfast and after a few calls, she agreed. After that, the rest of the stay was magical! The island is very beautiful and staying at lamai beach is an ideal launchpad to explore the whole place. Our only regret was we weren't staying longer! Rooms were very spacious and had a separate study and kitchenette. Everything was perfect. From the claw footed bath tub to the little balcony. A nice pool with outdoor jacuzzi in the premises where we spent mornings sipping cocktails and soaking. Across the road was the private beach and a second pool - we were spoilt for choice! Saving up for the next trip to samui!

Great hotel at Lamai beach ”
My short stay at the Manathai Koh Samui was very good. I was very impressed with my room, particularly how spacious It was. Breakfast was very good at the Colours restaurant. The onsite Pad Thai restaurant also served very good food at very reasonable prices. The pool just across the road at the beach was very nice with lots of sunbeds, some shaded by coconut trees. There was a good bar/restaurant at the pool too. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and efficient.

Very quiet hotel good for relaxing and maybe for honeymoon ”
The Manathai is a very good hotel if you searching for a quiet place for your honeymoon or for relaxe. They have 2 Pools and one Long Beach with a beautiful coral reef. Advice to the hotel please clean up your paradise beach everyday from the garbage and plastic. Nobody want swimming in a ocean with so much plastic pollution on beach. The fisher half island in front of the hotel is very dirty. You will see everywhere plastic bottles and glass bottles. The people must start to clean and save their paradise. If not tourists like will not come any longer to normally beautiful places like Manathai at La Mai beach Koh Samui.

Superb Hotel with a warm friendly welcome”
once arriving at the buddy oriental in koh samui, we were greeted by the resort manager melissa tan who was extremely helpful and friendly, this continued the whole period of our stay. the hotel room was very clean and well presented. we came down every morning to a variety of breakfasts to suit everyones taste. the 2 pools were well maintained, however our only regret was there were no cushions on the sun loungers, however we mentioned this to the management on leaving and they were looking into getting some. we recommend this hotel for a very enjoyable stay in lamai koh samui.

Pleasant, vintage rooms”
We stayed three nights in a Junior Suite and the room and bathroom was large. The study room attached to our room was a bit of a waste of space but adds to the overall dimensions of the room. The rooms are furnished in a vintage setting and are a comfortable. Some may find the mattress hard but since my wife and I prefer hard mattresses, we were fine and slept comfortably. The bathroom is quite big, clean and has a nice vintage tub. The location is decent in terms of distance to Lamai centre (2km) and Chaweng beach (8km) but the beach connected to the is not the ideal for those who are looking to spend more time on the beach. The beach is small and has a fisherman's wharf attached to it. it added to the 'old koh samui' feel but like I said, if the beach is a priority (and Lamai beach in particular), then might as well look for something closer to the south end of Lamai beach. We didnt try the room service but the breakfast was decent and had the usual fare available in most hotels. The breakfast seating area is nice. The pools are small and can get crowded if there are more people using them. However, they are clean. The jaccuzzi was not working properly when we were there. Overall, the hotel is not bad at all for the price and offers a comfortable, clean and vintage feel in a quieter part of Lamai.

GREAT HOTEL-one of our faves”
Overall our experience here was better than anywhere else we stayed and the price was less for what we got than anywhere else (Ko Tao, Koh Phangan)Once we figured out that we were at the very edge of Lamai Beach the shopping was great as we headed into Lamai Beach (on foot is fine by street or beach). My boyfriend LOVED it here and we will definitely be back if we find ourselves on Koh Samui again.
