clean hotel”

My wife and I stayed at the weekender for 4 nights in October 2012. The Weekender has many room types from very budget to upper class. We stayed in a Deluxe room. There are big, beautiful and clean. There is a large building at the back of the resort right near the road where the standard rooms are these were all getting a make over with a lot of building work going on at this block. The Deluxe rooms over look the pool area and the beach. There is 1 big pool and 2 smaller spa type pools below it. They are beautiful and over look the beach. As we visited in Low season they didnt have the full buffet breakfast every morning, we were able to order off a small list what we wanted. But breakfast was enough to start the day. The grounds and garden is very well kept and clean.The staff were very helpfull and Nide arranged our transfers to Koh Phangan and we were picked up at the hotel and taken straight to the pier for our boat all tickets etc all arranged and I could not have done it any cheaper myself so it saved me a lot of time. So well done Nide it all went really smooth. The hotel is in the perfect position in Lamai, there are so many shops and restaurants surrounding it that you never have to eat at the hotel if you dont want. There are night food stalls set up just a short walk from the hotel and they are amazing. The best and cheapest food we ate whilst in Samui. Make sure you eat there, you wont be let down. Lamai is nice and quite compared to Chaweng its perfect for a relaxing holiday.Would stay here again if in Lamai.

Above and beyond!”

The Weekender Resort was the perfect get-away for our Koh Samui vacation. We got off to a rocky start, with one member of our group having lost her bag and passport on the ferry ride over. But the hotel staff went out of their way to continuously call and check in with the ferry company on the missing items. Excellent beach front location, infinity pool, delicious breakfast, and walking distance to the night market and other shops and restaurants! The most relaxing part of our trip was our stay here.

Luxury”

The Weekender isn't your usual spot for backpacking tourists but we decided to splash out on our stay in Ko Samui For Thailand accommodation standards it was great ... fabulous swimming pool looking onto the beach, spacious rooms, maid service, balcony, fridge, TV, air con. The rooms were well decorated with a funky twist. The loctaion in Lamai was great, right on the beach and the main street... so busy with places to eat. The Weekender restaurant itself was very over priced with service charge and taxes added to your bill.

Great Location, Lovely staff, Awesome stay”

The hotel was so great. We stayed there for 4 nights and wished we had booked for longer. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got engaged while in Koh Samui and had a awesome romantic set beach side dinner at the hotel, while our room was done up with candles and rose petals. It is right on the beach, with the outside tables of the restaurant looking onto the beach. The pool is stunning and also overlooks the beach. (Lamai has an amazing beach). If you are wanting more livelier pubs, etc, they are all with in walking distance! They were renovating the 'standard room' section, but wasn't a hassle while we were staying there. Will definately go back!

The 'Weekender Resort' Koh Samui”

Having arrived on Koh Samui to find my hotel had overbooked, I was relived to find a very affordable hotel called the 'Weekender Resort.' It was very reasonably priced, clean with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. I would definitely go back to this hotel and probably will within the month.

Nice stay at Weekender, once again.”

Came to Weekender Resort once again this year after a very pleasant stay there in 2009, and if you decide to come back to the place on your free will chances are you like it a lot! Great swimming pool (in fact, there are 2 big and 2 small pools - enough room for everyone), nice clean sea, clean rooms with some effort put in the design - and an extra single bed in deluxe rooms - very convenient to store stuff and sort your purchases. Breakfast was OK, depends if you are picky or not, although they are not aware of the "scrambled eggs with milk" concept, but that is something to come back home to. All in all, we had a very nice time, although it can be quite windy and stormy on Lamai beach.

Weekender offered great service from the moment i touched down to Koh Samui. The F&B manager doubled up as the driver to pick me up from the airport, and was friendly. The pick up was great too..! Check in was not a problem. Food is good at the hotel. Although there was only one outlet, I was impressed with the quality ! We ate at the hotel most of the time except for dinners when we ventured out to the nearby food stalls. Spent most of the day by the pool (which was very pretty and clean), and it was great as ordering drinks and food was easy. Kudos to having the sleeves for the beer too! Location of Weekender (Lamai) was good in that it was just a 2 minute walk to the main street where there was hawker food and restaurants, pubs, shops, and conveniently - a 7-11. The beach was relatively quiet, and wasn't as noisy as public beaches. Massage by the beach is always great-and I would have gone again and again if not for the other patrons queuing up.. What i enjoyed most was the staff's helpfulness. Although there was one particular waiter which wasn't very nice, the rest were really great so we tipped them when we left. They made us feel at home, and were very approachable and friendly. Overall, great hotel for a first experience in KohSamui. Would consider returning to Weekender on my next visit..!

Awesome hotel”

Previous reviews have mentioned the refurbishment which this hotel is undergoing. As of Dec 2008 it looks like it was nearing completion. However, this didnt effect our enjoyment of staying here. Our of the 7-8 hotels we stayed in all around thailand this was my favourite. Its a great location, the pool is excellent, the staff are ultra friendly and the food was great and moderately priced! There wasn't many people staying there (maybe because of the renovation?) but this just made our stay even better! We paid a little extra and upgraded our room from the Standard and it was huge, clean and had everything you could ask for! If you are heading to Lamai beach - stay here!

What a wonderful 6 days in Lamai”

Driving down the driveway to the Weekender Resort we knew we were going to be pleased with the whole resort. The rooms were very spacious and the beds comfortable. The pool area was magic with lots of space and quiet areas to enjoy. The pampering provided by the massage hut overlooking the beach was awesome. I had a massage every day of our stay! The food at the restaurant was superb and the service staff were great. We totally enjoyed the cocktail happy hour and attended every afternoon. The resort was handy to all places and very close to some great shopping.

Beautiful Place - Recommended!”

We booked the place a week or so before coming there, at what seemed to be 50% off the price! It might have seemed that the place was not so good, and the owners offered this discount being desperate for guests... But the resort turned out to be really fantastic! This is a beautifully designed place with tall palm trees and many flowers, it is really well looked after, and the sea is very clear and warm. Everything in the room seemed to be fairly new - from paint on the walls to the bath curtain - and very clean. We also liked the spacious wardrobe, fantastic balcony with the view to the garden inside the resort, and a very good, big swimming pool. The usual prices for rooms in the resort were a bit too high for us, but once we got that fantastic discount it was no more out of our price range, and there was really nothing to complain about. Great place, really loved it.

Weekender Hotel”

Stayed in the hotel for 5 nights. We chose the hotel after checking our about 6 different hotels in it's area - we simply went into the hotels and asked for the price and saw the rooms. The hotel has an amazing pool and nice (not the highest standard) and clean rooms for a good price. The hotel is located right in the center of Lamai Beach area, all of the restaurants and bars are rigth by it. The staff is nice and english speaking (not trivial in Thailand). We enjoyed the staying in this hotel very much.

Beach resort”

First time on Lamai beach, manager, staff are awesome. Very friendly and with a smile. Gym, pool, breakfast, beach access and location to restaurants is outstanding. Only fault the standard rooms the showers have bad design. Water catches around the tub and drips on floor. Lights in room a little dark and no room slippers....but apart from that it's a very nice resort. We are enjoying our stay and time here....

Classy resort with class location”

Weekender resort is right in the heart of Lamai beach. The hotel is right on the beach so you can have your breakfast outside whilst watching the waves hit the golden thai sands. Perfect for couples and families, wanting a relaxed chilled getaway. Great pool also and decent,clean rooms. Only negative is the wi fi was not free.

Fantastic hotel in an idyllic location”

lamai beach is a lively area but this hotel is located on the edge, far enough away to not suffer from noise, but near enough to walk to a huge selection of bars, restaurants and nightlife. the infinity pool overlooks the beach and sea and our 6 year old daughter absolutely loved it, even having a baby massage in the massage hut at the end of each relaxing day. the breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of food including bacon, sausage and an egg station. the beach in front of the hotel was never crowded, and there was water sports available further down the beach. we ate at restaurants on the beach each night, our room was superb with a great balcony. lovely, idyllic, relaxing, fun, recommended!

Great Pools!”

The hotel was very clean and they had a friendly staff. We encountered a problem with our water the first evening and they quickly moved us to another room, which happened to be large than our original place. The contemporary restaurant on the beach was a refreshing experience from many of the restaurants we visited. The best part of the hotel was the pool area overlooking the beach with several infinity pools. The location was in the heart of the Lamai. They had massage services, but not a full spa. Overall, it was a great place to stay and everyone loved it.

Weekender Resort”

We enjoyed our stay at the weekender resort. special breakfast in the room on our birthday and 25 red roses included... the pool is small but clean and the beach is about 50 meters away. nightlife is shortly away and many good restaurants are with a short walk available. we liked our stay and if we someday come back to samui, we will stay there again.

Beautiful beach ”

The hotel has a good sized plot right on the beach at Lamai, which is a beautiful location. Was a great rest and relaxation week. EXCELLENT outdoor pool facilities and pool side service, great theraputic shakes and good spa facilities which are very affordable. The beach vendors can be a bit too frequent if you are trying to read, but can always retreat pool side, very relaxing. The street outside is full on, bars down the road if thats what you are looking for. There is a great second hand book shop across the road. The hotel charge for internet. The standard rooms are fine, but they are below the quality of the rest of the hotel. So you pay basic prices for very good pool side facilities.

For 2000 Baht nice choice ”

Definitely one of the nicer accommodations in Lamai Beach. You can get a good deal including breakfast and its definitely worth the money. Best pool on the entire beach.
