Where to stay in Ban Lamai

Honestly, everything was perfect, and most of the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our butler, Tak, was also incredibly thoughtful. My only complaint was that on the day we checked in, I wasn't sure if the person who checked us in and took us to our room was our assigned butler. It was a male staff member. I found that the QR code on the room's TV couldn't successfully add the front desk on...

The master bedroom and other facilities are great, but the second bedroom is a bit small and cramped, which wasn't ideal. However, the breakfast was good, and the service was excellent.

Nice and clean. Good service, and a relaxing place

One of the most stunning views I’ve experienced. From the staff, to the views, and the amenities, all top notch. I absolutely loved waking up to an infinity pool and a breathtaking view of the ocean each morning. It’s an incredibly relaxing experience and you can stay on the resort your entire stay or call a grab to explore other parts of the island. I did a spa afternoon and spent the rest of the...

Spent part of our honeymoon here! Beautiful beach and excellent service! Our room had a sweet pool and hot tub. Chan did an amazing job helping us with adjusting our itinerary as needed! Good hotel to relax and get some quiet time. I’d recommend for a trip where you are looking to spend a lot of relaxing time at the resort to get your money’s worth!

Resort is amazing. Villa is clean and the staffs does an excellent service throughout your stay. Restaurants and breakfast buffet could be better though. 

Myself and my partner have just had a wonderful stay at the Outrigger hotel in Ko Samui. From the airport pickup to our last day - everything was perfect. The staff are wonderful (a big shout out to May and the kind reception staff). The rooms are beautiful and cleaned daily, there is always plenty of water topped up in the rooms and little touches that make the stay enjoyable. It is often busy around...

My partner and I stayed there for 6 nights in mid-January and we absolutely loved it. The hospitality is out of this world and we felt so welcomed and had the best experience ever. The room was spacious and very clean and it had all the amenities needed. The hotel app was a plus as it helped with planning things and activities too. Ken the morning stretch instructor is fantastic as well as Palm the...

The staff were really welcoming and looked after us. Great location and access to amenities. Access to beach and pools. The only issue we had was the slight damp smell in the room, which we believe is probably the building itself. We had changed rooms initially but was also in new room. It wasnt offensive, just probably needs to be kept an eye on. I would definitely recommend and go back. Breakfast...

Fabulous team and surroundings. Nice food. Main big pool area across the road but 2 lovely men will flag down traffic to get you across the street. Pools are really nice. Beach is small I front of the hotel area but you can walk further up to an area which has more white sand. Rooms were very well kept. Breakfast was lovely and location was great. Some parking for cars too. Has a small gym a games...

The staff here are all extraordinary - very kind and friendly people, who will go the extra mile for you. They remember your name, and always checking if you need anything. The rooms are beautiful, so big and comfy, and very clean. Lots of mirrors, towels, robes, plug sockets and a separate sofa with tv area to relax in. And cute towel decoration too! We had a couple of issues with ours though -...

Amazing hotel! The room was so big, beautiful design. The pool area is fun, lots of place to hang, took kayaks for free and enjoyed the view. 20 min walk (with kids!) to the night market in Lamai. Our son was injured in the water slide and the staff kept asking about him and sending him stuff. We also enjoyed a cooking class in the hotel as part of the deal we bought and we super liked it! Also the...

Pros: Very good location: close to beach, several pools, outdoor showers, close to restaurants and shops, but far enough away for it not to be noisy (depending on room type, though). Good place for all ages, child-friendly, quite atmosphere. Clean. Mediocre breakfast, but perfectly adequate. Friendly staff in the bar/restaurant, but not always as service-minded in the reception. Cons: dark rooms,...

A nice hotel in the heart of Lmi Beach, Koh Samui. We booked a standard room as it was a cheaper option but we found it very comfortable with air condition and a balcony. We had coffee making facilitiy in our room and a safe deposit box. All in all a really good choice. We used the fitness room which was ok and the swimming pool is stunning facing the beach. There are plenty of deck chairs and sun...

We stayed here in one of these huts in 2000 for the millennium celebrations, I am writing this review in 2024 and they look no different. We had cold showers and basic huts just the same back then. We loved it and my boyfriend proposed to me on Lamai beach. We got married a year later and now 2 kids down and 24 years later we are still as happy. At that time there was Papa ( the owner) and a great...

Only the location was good... Rooms arr dated and water was salty and no lift mind you. Room size ia big though You might have to carry your luggage to 2nd floor.

The hotel is very basic, the rooms are dirty, uncomfortable showers and cracks in the walls. The beach is very nice, probably the best thing about the hotel. Service is fast and friendly. The Gym is big and clean. Multiple Pools. Overall, it ain't a bad hotel, just more of a basic hotel.

Fantastic resort in a great location. My wife and I booked The Weekender and was very thrilled with our stay. The resort is beautiful, the beach is stunning with many bars and restaurants right outside along the main street. The staff here and so friendly, I can highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to stay in Lamai.

It is a wonderful place to stay in. The area is beautiful, colourful with a lot of plants everywhere. Perfect location and staff members are so kind and helpful. We will come back here later for sure.

Fantastic property! One of the best I've ever been to! Amazing staff! Magnificent resort!

Varinda Garden Resort is hands down the most magical place I have ever stayed! From the moment I arrived, it felt less like a resort and more like a home. The owners are so warm and loving, the staff are always smiling, helpful, and kind—I truly miss them all. Even the resident dogs became part of my mornings, bringing joy and playfulness to each day. This resort is unlike anywhere else: colorful...

Amazing place greatly taken care of.

This place is pure magic! The pictures do not do it justice—every detail is filled with love and creativity. From the breathtaking ocean views to the vibrant and artistic decor, you can feel the heart and soul poured into every corner of this beautiful retreat. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, enjoying a peaceful yoga session with a stunning view, or watching the sky light up at sunset, every moment...

Generally we really enjoyed our stay. There are only 2 things that weren’t good. 1. The sound isolation. On our last day the people above us decided to drink and listen to loud music. Since the rooms are basically not insulated we were able to hear everything and well then it is basically a gamble if you have silebt people or loud people around you. 2. We really disliked the bedsheets. At the end...

The hotel is great, with an excellent location. There are also beach performances in the evenings. The service is good, and it's very close to the night market. It does stay lively and a bit noisy until after midnight, but overall, I'm very satisfied.

It’s one of the best hotels in samui (lamai beach) Recommend to all couple

Very comfortable room with great views. It was quiet and not crowded.

Great location, excellent service... I didn't like the room (the view), but I got a new one the very next day 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Exceptional and friendly service - secluded and quiet feel in the room but lively outside Private Pool was awesome

The hotel is really nice and the service is great. The staff was really thoughtful and available. We had a problem with electricity in the room, after reporting it to the reception a technician was at the room in the time it took me to get back to the room. The villa pool is great. Just the right size. The bed was really comfy.

Cleaning is daily. The pool is also cleaned daily. There's security on site, and no one is allowed in. It's perfectly quiet and peaceful. The beach is a one-minute walk away.

Probably one of the nicest places I have stayed. The villa was inmaculate, cleaned daily, on the beach and away from any noise and tourists. Was the most peaceful and pleasant stay I have had, anywhere!

Excellent, typical of a five star hotel

Wonderful day out for families. So much for the kids to do!

It's very touristy. Almost felt like I wasn't in Thailand. If you just want to be at a nice beach with swimming pools. You will probably enjoy it. The service was great.

This’s really really nice beach club in lamai I cale here in the first time I enjoying with this place... I’m not staying here but I can do kayak and pool for free but you have to order something to eat or drinks. I hope your guys enjoy with this place as well

This hotel choice was truly excellent! I booked two nights, one in a sea-view room and the other in a sea-view villa 🏠. I have to say, the rooms were actually better in person than in the hotel's promotional photos, which was a pleasant surprise! 👍🏼 The breakfast was good too, mostly à la carte, but the real highlight was the incredible view, which truly impressed me ✌️.

The view was absolutely stunning! We stayed in ocean view pool villa #28, and the mini-bar was generously stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks. We ate all three meals at the hotel, and the prices were reasonable, plus the restaurant had a beautiful view. In the afternoon, there was also free afternoon tea by the public pool.

Amazing resort! The best hotel we stayed in during our honeymoon. We would go back in a heartbeat ❤️

Amazing stay couldn’t recommend it enough, staff were amazing and food was fantastic.

The room was quite good, but the food was very mediocre. On top of that, I found the service to be extremely poor; for this price, I'd rather go to Six Senses. I had an unpleasant experience with the hotel, but the Trip.com customer service manager promptly handled the situation. I didn't ask for any compensation, but Trip.com protected my rights as a consumer. From now on, I will no longer use other...

The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the service is incredibly good – it makes you want to tip everyone!

My husband absolutely loves this hotel! The beach access is super convenient, and the welcoming drink was a nice touch. All the staff are really friendly and the breakfast is fantastic – you can even order off-menu items. The only minor drawback is that they don't automatically provide toothbrushes.

I think it's great value for money, and the room was very clean and dry! The breakfast was also good; this was the cheapest place on our trip but just as nice! Highly recommend. They offer free yoga classes in the morning. The beach is a bit rocky, making it difficult to swim. I recommend the dinner restaurant, the view is absolutely stunning!

I came to Thailand for a friend's wedding and took the opportunity to do some short-term traveling. The hotel was very comfortable, with an infinity pool that seamlessly blended with the sea, which was truly breathtaking. I recommend the sea-view rooms; sitting by the window, enjoying the sea breeze, and looking out at the ocean was incredibly relaxing. Breakfast was also very good. The 0.5 point...

We booked the All Inclusive package at Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa through Trip.com, but unfortunately the experience did not match what “all inclusive” usually means. At check-in we were told that our “all inclusive” included only two dishes per person for lunch and dinner, plus breakfast the next day. This was very surprising, because we paid significantly more specifically for the full package...

Good view ,calm and relax Old amenities Nice crew Food just OK

A bit old-fashioned decoration hotel (for my room type) and the gym is rather small. But the big plus points for this hotel are their staff and service, soooo nice and impressive. Warm welcome and felt like the staff were really happy to greet and serve us during the stay. Breakfast is really yummy too.

The place is nice, so is the pool, and located close to the crystal bay. The people working there are amazing. Rooms are a bit run down, our sheets had some holes and ink stains. The bed is very hard. Overall, a place you can stay at fine, we paid it a bit expensive for what they offered.

It's a good place. The well-groomed territory is covered in flowers. The birds are singing. The rooms are well cleaned, clean. The staff is always friendly.

Very nice little cabins. You have everything you need and I can definitely recommend it. We were able to check in early without any problem and the lady at the reception was also really nice. I will come again.

It's a clean and comfortable room. There is a pool to swim in, close to the beach, less than 5 minutes walk to Lamai Beach. I like it. Next day I will go to use the service again.

We took the house only because of its proximity to our favorite beach, Cristal Bay. The place is quiet at night, despite being near the road. We had breakfast at our favorite cafe at the Cristal Bay hotel on the beach.

Incredible service. Room was amazing with a private pool, couldn’t recommend enough

The hotel is beautiful but remote. The beach wasn't particularly noteworthy, but it was still beautiful and peaceful. The staff was very friendly. There was a 50-inch TV, but no channels. The fitness center was small and cramped. Breakfast wasn't a buffet, but a la carte. That wasn't a problem, but there was a wait for the food to be brought out.

Fantastic staff. Beautiful and clean villas and the whole property in general . There is no private beach for the property or beach at all and the location is bit cut off from the happening side of the island.

We stayed at Tropic Villa and our stay was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The staff were attentive, the villa was stunning and beautifully furnished — we loved the tropical style, the colors, and all the thoughtful details such as the coffee machine, the accessories you can use for photos, and the large bathtub. Whenever I needed anything, it was never a problem — on the contrary,...

Good atmosphere, beautiful rooms

I happened to stay at Tolani Resort Koh Samui by coincidence due to a last-minute travel decision, and I must say I am genuinely impressed. The resort is unique and private — exactly what I was looking for to escape from the busy side of Samui. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. The pool villa where I stayed was very comfortable and peaceful. I am truly satisfied and will definitely...

An ok hotel, but a bit tired. Lamai beach is lovely and there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the town center.

The location was perfect! We especially loved the beach, as it felt secluded and private. The pool area was nice, a little dated in terms of outdoor furniture, however the pool was great. Not crowded & we pretty much had the pool to ourselves all the time. The breakfast was ok, perhaps more options for vegetarians, maybe have some cheese, but overall not too bad. The coffee were great!! My favorite...

One day, when I finished my tour ,there is mo water in my bathroom,and every day the water in my bethroom is so no powerful 🥲🥲

Everything was great, we really liked it. Nice hotel. We will come back here again. Everything was great, we really liked it. Nice hotel. We will come back here again.

Great view of the beach and pool from my balcony. It was a bargain to have got this place for the amount of money paid. The breakfast provided was to a quality standard 🤌. The view from the breakfast lounge is so unreal. You can get a great sunset view from their private beach!

Hotel is close to the beach, though not a perfect beachfront. Breakfast is average, but the staff are friendly. Overall, you get what you pay for. It would be great if the hotel could improve breakfast variety and check the bathroom water pressure.

Lovely little hotel, staff are brilliant always helpful, if there is any language issue they find someone to assist. Peter (manager) is in the public eye most mornings asking if all is ok. Benz on reception is always smiling and very helpful. Our room was one of the villas, great sized clean room, only wished the towels was changed daily, very small thing to say for such a great friendly hotel. Ping...

A very nice little Hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well tended. The surrounding area is extremely beautiful. The staff is very friendly and competent. The food is excellent. I would love to come back.

A small to medium scale size hotel. Minimal service and friendliness from the staffs at the reception. The rooms provide the basic essentials, clean and are comfortable although I found two tea bags in the kettle to my dismay. The bar and restaurant at the poolside with the green landscape make up for the service and room. The staffs at the poolside bar & restaurants are friendly and helpful. Nice...

A little out of the main area of Lamai, but still good accommodation, the staff are all very welcoming and friendly, special mention to the pool bar staff, who were wonderful to us during our stay, making sure we were always had cold drinks on hand. The beds are huge but a little hard for us. An enjoyable experience

I solid 4 stars for a 3 star hotel. great value

The street next to the hotel is very loud, breakfast is great, Lunch not very good. Gym is small, pool only available between 7 and 7. Rest is great. AC in good condition, rooms are clean, bed and bathroom are great

This hotel is well-located and offers a very good, high-quality breakfast. There's a wide selection on the menu, even though it's not an all-you-can-eat buffet. There's a beautiful view of a small patch of beach, though it's not really a swimming spot. However, a short 15-minute walk takes you directly to Lamai Beach, where you'll find plenty of beach restaurants and even a night market that I highly...

Very nice hotel, nice rooms, clean.. right on the beach.

Our recent stay was amazing. The staff are attentive and beautiful people. They can’t do enough for you. All expectations were met and more. Particular thanks to our room assistant, our room was always lovely made up and the turn down service and bug service such a nice treat. The kitchen staff got to know our requirements and were always attentive and welcoming. The breakfast was great, the plate...

A pleasant stay overall, but with clear gaps between expectation and a true 5-star experience. Positives: • Full 5-star amenities including gym, pool, spa, restaurant, bar, and laundry • Warm, tranquil rooms with comfortable beds • Very friendly staff • Excellent location Negatives: Ongoing construction next to the hotel disrupted the calm atmosphere by the pool. We were not informed in advance and...

Nice set up of the room ( air condition perhaps can be less noisy ) The resort of Small houses are build front the sea and the same time having view of palm and bambook forest front our veranda. No any guest vill having this view. We have also the privesy on our veranda, because not had people on oposit haus. Rooms can be clean every sungul day if you do not stop them and put the coconat monkey asking...

We had a wonderful stay at The Lamai and overall it was a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning rooms, a calm beachfront, and an incredible private pool that really made our stay special. Breakfast was excellent every morning, and the Thai iced teas with almond milk became part of our daily ritual. The food was delicious, with the floating breakfast and spa as real highlights...

This hotel was okay for 1-2 nights, although compared to what other hotels offer for that price it could be either better or cheaper. Had to buy a hair dryer in the nearest supermarket, although for the last 2 years of living on hotels I have never been in need of buying this stuff, hotels normally provide hair dryers, not a big deal for them. Also different insects were in the room which is not the...

This is a good hotel with three buildings and its own cozy courtyard. It has a nice, small pool, and there's also a large parking lot for motorbikes and cars. Plenty of cafes and shops are within walking distance, and it's not far from the sea. Breakfast isn't included, but it's not really needed.

Nice budget friendly stay, clean and no insect Smell of wood Beach and 711 nearby

The hotel is about a kilometer from Lamai Beach. Right outside, you'll find Lamai Market, a pharmacy, restaurants, and massage places – it's incredibly convenient. The balcony in the room was quite spacious, perfect for lounging comfortably.

Very comfortable, clean and quite place, love it 🥰 Thank you 🙏

A bit pricier than the kind of places I normally stay, but totally worth it. Close to the beach and the night market but secluded and quite quiet, it's the perfect place to stay. They bring you new water everyday and the swimming pool is a great place to cool off.

The service was ravishing. Because of an issue with our standard room, they upgraded us to a villa. They also did their best to prepare some surprises for my girlfriend’s birthday. Overall, a very nice and memorable stay.

Baan Hin Sai was overall good. You could tell the rooms were very old and the bathroom as well. It did feel clean, however, because . It does need a renovation or better maintenance. I was disappointed because one of the main reasons we booked was the pool by the ocean however, when we arrived, the pool was green. The breakfast was OK and the staff were really nice. Overall I would say there is nicer...

Honestly, everyone working here is friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome! Our room was lovely in terms of size and space. The bathroom is a bit old-fashioned but functional. We did notice small insects getting into the room quite easily. The location on the island is convenient, but having a scooter is really helpful for getting from the hotel to nearby places (beach, restaurants, activities)...

I had a great time staying there. The hotel was not very new, but very cozy. The rooms were built along the hill slope but they provided a golf cart service. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was perfect for immersing yourself in the atmosphere, with a beautiful sea view right outside the window. The price was reasonable.

The accommodation is beautiful, clean, and has a great view. The staff are lovely.

This hotel has a surprisingly good location, nestled on a quiet, tree-lined hill. However, the building itself is quite old, and the air conditioning isn't very strong. The staff provides good service, but you'll need to communicate in English as most of them are foreign workers.

basic but very nice. great beach. typical tourist crap food nearby main street.

The hotel is in an amazing location just walk across the road to the beach and restaurants. The grounds are nice and pool area is great. We got two rooms and although very dated they were neat tidy, aircon worked, comfortable. We stayed for 5 nights and had no issues enjoyed the stay and would recommend on location alone!

Great experience. Room was clean and comfortable. The pool and hotel grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Great value overall.

What we received wasn't what was in the photo. The room was very dark. The windows were tinted. It hadn't been renovated in a long time.

Great clean bungalows, right on a beautiful the beach with a great sunrise view. Set behind the walking street of lamai but not noisy. Loads of choices of bar, restaurants, smoking shop, shopping & everything else.

I thought it was great. The location was right on the beach. ( i chose that option ) So I could hear the sound of the waves throughout the day and night. I just wish the restaurant and reception were open till a little later than they do. They close too early.

Good hotel, amazing location. But breakfast was all the same all days. Should be more options. The room inside is also very old, needs renovation.

This was my first time on Koh Samui, and my first stay at this hotel was from December 25th-31st, 2025. The view was magnificent, there was a pool, and massages on site were incredibly affordable. The sea was clean, the staff were superb, and Wi-Fi was available throughout the property. I returned here from January 4th-6th, 2026, and was even more impressed, having experienced other areas and hotels...

It was clean and good location! Would stay here again in the future.

The hotel is on the 1st line, the sea is a minute away. There is a cafe, money exchange, travel agencies, laundry, bike rental, massage parlor nearby. The room is cleaned every day, I recommend the bungalow, the breakfasts are good. Of the minuses, the air conditioner is very noisy, there is no safe, hair dryer.

Do not recommend the place, dust is everywhere , as well as bugs on the floor, the place needs some renovation, but location is perfect

Very cosy hotel with big rooms and excellent staff. Need some renewing in some places but still very good hotel. The location is great and nice and relaxing atmosphere.

First class resort all around. The villas are fantastic and the staff are very attentive and friendly. They offer a great shuttle service all over the island into Chaweng and Lamai. Amazing, can’t say enough good things.

My family and I stayed here for two nights in a three bedroom, three bathroom villa and loved it! The private infinity pool was beautiful and the spacious villa gave everyone their own space. The restaurant staff were also super friendly and service was great. What I really loved about this place was the owner's recommendations - he knows the island well and told us exactly where to go and what to...

We booked two weeks here. Really happy with our villa. The views are amazing. The staff are all really nice and friendly.

“Luxury Hilltop Escape with Private Pool” Our stay at Sandalwood Villa was absolutely incredible. Perched high above Koh Samui, the villa offers stunning panoramic views and a private pool that made our mornings and evenings magical. The interiors are beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with elegance, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The service was discreet, professional, and...

I had the best time at Sandalwood for a solo vacation. I stayed in the Camellia suite, which had two bedrooms and a private balcony with dip pool. Truly the best hotel experience I've ever had. The views are stunning, the service is excellent. It can be a bit of a process getting up and down the hill to the resort, but the staff makes it easy and I never waited more than 15 minutes for the shuttle...

We stayed in the two bedroom villa with pool and it was unbelievable!! Firstly our room was beautiful with views over Chaweng bay from the comfort of the bed! It had two bathrooms which were really nice and lots of relaxing space. The kitchen catered to a variety of guests and the mini bar was well stocked. The staff were excellent, anything you need, they sorted and kept in good contact via WhatsApp...

A little out from the main town. Room cleaned daily. Decent value for money. Would stay again.

A nice hotel with spacious grounds and a beautiful, warm pool. The rooms are clean and spacious. There's a shared balcony. The location is great, close to the sea and a promenade with food and shops. You can rent a bike and have a delicious breakfast in the area.

Lamai Beach Resort – Relaxing Beachfront Stay we had a very pleasant stay at Lamai Beach Resort. The location is excellent, right on Lamai Beach, with beautiful sea views and easy access to the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. we especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the sound of...

Great hotel! But make sure you get a room with a sea view! The view from the balcony is stunning. Everything is new and clean, the air conditioning is good, the mattress is comfortable, and the bed linens are excellent. The shower has good pressure. The staff is friendly. There's convenient parking, plenty of restaurants nearby, and the beach is a 7-minute walk away.

Fantastic stay! It's really clean and the facilities are great! Thank you so much!

The ocean view from the balcony on the third floor is amazing! Swimming along the nearby beach and even swimming in the hotel pool is fantastic. The restaurant just west of us has great food and friendly staff! ♪ lol The airport is about a 30-minute drive away, and transportation is convenient. 🆗

My experience was great , friendly staff, room always made up promptly. I definitely would stay there again.

We stayed at this hotel for three days. Upon arrival, we were assigned a room above the reception area. There's no elevator, and the staff offered no assistance. The hotel door faces the roadway, the street. The balcony overlooks the courtyard. The doors and walls are incredibly thin. The sounds of cars and bikes could be heard from the main street (since we were staying at the hotel during the off...

Great location within town and beach front access. Has a few pools and a beach Cafe.

Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful, delicious food, beach within walking distance. I recommend it.

Amazing spot in Lamai - hotel is on the beach and has 2 swimming pool. Room is more than spacious; balcony is where you can chill and dry your clothes; aircon is the best! You get access to everything in his location (7-11, atm, marts, shops, restaurants, bars, etc.)

We stayed at this hotel for the third time. We really like it. Great location, right on the seashore, clean, beautiful, very calm and quiet. A 7/11 opened nearby. We will definitely come back next time. Thank you for your hospitality!
