The Lamai Samui

Wonderful staff, immaculately clean, gorgeous food and value for money

Room size, breakfast variety, access to beach, walking distance to shops. Bar and pool staff were incredible, couldn't do enough for us and always with a smile. Pool was a good size and views of the sea lovely.

We stayed as a couple, no kids trip, in a plunge pool room, breakfast included. the room was great size, pool beautiful but we did not use it much as the sea was too inviting. the bed is very big and comfortable. and linen soooo soft, very high quality. rooms were very clean, nice bathroom in the open. there are some mosquitos (which is to be expected), but the hotel provides the repellant and they light a spiral agains mosquitos every evening. for us, this was not a huge issue. the breakfast was ok, nothing special. if we stayed more than one week it would be very repetitive, though they do offer a la carte eggs,… the pool area has enough sun beds, around the pool and on the grass area next to the pool. the area is super secluded, very nice and quiet, but it is 20 minute walk away from all the fuss and the main street markets. we found it super romantic to walk on the beach during the day, there are many beach side massage salons that you just walk up to and pay about 400 bht for one hour oil massage. or if we did not feel like walking you can get a taxi on the street for 100-150 bht that takes you to the city. there is a very good new restaurant near - 5 min walk - Silver spoon that is just divine! the hotel staff was soooo nice, always a smile on their face!

It’s easier to say what i didn’t like : absolutely nothing. Amazing resort and kindest staff who made everything just perfect from day one . Thank you!

We spent 10 days at The Lamai and everything was incredible, from beginning to end. The welcome, the villa, the grounds, facilities, food, restaurant, views, being right on the beach, location was easy to get to our activities on the island. What was the absolute best was the staff, especially the restaurant and bar staff. So friendly, hospitable, treated us like family. Went out of their way, but not making it seem like too much of a fuss. They were just amazing. Every morning at breakfast was like the it was the very first morning. Special thanks to the restaurant manager Kwan, who also did an outstanding job arranging an unforgettable New Year's Eve gala. On top of the big gala happening that evening, it was our son's 10th birthday that day and he arranged a special breakfast of the most divine chocolate birthday cake and his speciality - the 'Dreamsical' cocktail (for health and prosperity if I remember correctly). Also thank you to his whole team and our family's favourites Tubtim and Biggy! Chefs, just wow. Your food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The cleaning staff were also wonderful, and made a beautiful arrangement on our bed for my son's birthday too. We miss you all very much.
