The Lamai Samui

What a wonderful place! We spent 2.5 weeks in The Lamai and were everyday happy to be there. The staff is very friendly and professional thus making our stay absolutely perfect. The cocktails on the pier, the great breakfast with plenty of choice, the beautiful rooms with ‘old’ style decoration and the shared pools are top. We were disappointed from Samui but our stay in The Lamai compensated it largely.

Loved my stay at the Lamai. It’s gorgeous located near by a small town and has nice little family run restaurant next to it. The staff in the hotel were so kind and helpful. We loved our experience here.

Only concern is the mosquitoes issue which is something we faced in our washroom as well because it’s an open shower style and washroom.

Apart from that we have no concerns here and absolutely enjoyed our stay. The breakfast is delicious as well and they have a lovely view of the pool and beach near the breakfast buffet.

Amazing staff (helpful, attentive and willing to go the extra for the customers). Em on the front desk was amazing and helpful. Tree at the pool was super attentive and accommodating. Dream (spelling?) At breakfast was super friendly.

The doors are the right balance of indoor / outdoor with room to move. Small gym but good for a morning session.

The hitel is at the quite end of the beach so you can get away from the crowds but you can walk over if you want to enjoy the atmosphere!

Food is amazing... and the team ate happy to adjust when required.

Thanks to all... an amazing, relaxing and memorable stay

I can’t remember the last time I stayed somewhere so beautiful, AND had such excellent, efficient, genuine and capable.

All reception, reservation, restaurant, housekeeping and spa staff were excellent, with zero exception. Special shout-out to the reception, and restaurant staff.

There was literally no ask that was too big, or too small. The team took care of everything including helping us with all COVID rule deciphering, both for getting here as well as our onward journey testing, booking a thousand taxis and restaurants, giving us local information and understanding exactly what we needed.

My 10yo son made a comment that he loves it here because everyone knows his name. A small thing, which made a huge difference to a little one who hasn’t been outside of his country and familiar culture for a quarter of his life now. And the adults were very grateful for the care.

Thank you so much team The Lamai Samui, we will be back, next time with our extended family. You really touched us.

One (minor) recommendation which I have : The recommended snorkeling tour by the hotel had received a pretty poor review. I suggested to the front office staff, and I’m sure they listened, that they update their list of recommendations- we ended up doing an excellent tour with 100 Degrees East, which like The Lamai Samui, bypasses all expectations.

Luxurious, interestingly designed resort. We stayed in a plunge room which initially seemed great until we had nearly 48 hrs of continuous noisy rain.
The staff were excellent, all well-trained and friendly.
The pool area was very pleasant but we were surprised the sun bed mattresses were left out in the torrential rain, they must take a long time to dry out.
Breakfast was excellent, part buffet, part A la Carte. Quality of food was good with a wide selection. The toaster toasted the bread in one go which is unusual in hotels. Lovely views from the upper dining area.

We recently stayed for our honeymoon. We were not expecting to love this place as much as we did and wish we had booked a longer stay when we left. The staff were incredible, so friendly, polite, welcoming and accommodating. The pool area is so well maintained and relaxing. The room was lovely, bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel.

In and of itself, it's a really nice place to spend your holiday. We had an ocean view pool villa which was wonderful. However, the hotel is showing its age. With the high prices, the expectations are high, but they are disappointed, for example at breakfast. Also the evening "turn down" service does not take place. Otherwise, it is very well maintained and the staff is very friendly.
