The Lamai Samui

We had an amazing stay at The Lamai Samui Hotel. The hotel was absolutely wonderful, and the staff were truly incredible—always kind, attentive, and professional. A special thank you to the manager, Mr. Kiki, who was so warm and welcoming and made us feel at home from the very first moment. The location is perfect, with what is, in our opinion, the most beautiful beach on the entire island. The Ocean Pool Villa was simply outstanding, and the bedroom was absolutely perfect—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with every detail thought of. Thank you so much to the whole team for making our stay so special. We are very grateful and can’t wait to come back!

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 received no compensation despite raising the issue. Restaurant and bar service was at times slow and inattentive. At one point during dinner we had to leave our table to ask for service rather than it being offered to us. The food is satisfactory. Some room interiors feel worn, particularly blinds and curtains. The same goes for pool towels that were outworn, stained, and in some cases had holes. Breakfast selection felt underwhelming and limited for a 5-star hotel, although the gluten-free bread was excellent. Verdict: A beautiful hotel with great staff and location, but several details fall short of 5-star standards.

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. The clear, star filled night sky was truly magical. There were some noise issues during our stay due to on site construction, and the rooms are unfortunately not very soundproof. However, the way this was handled made a huge difference. The manager was extremely approachable and kind, and generously offered us credit for part of our stay. As a result, almost all our meals, the floating breakfast, and spa experiences were covered, which we truly appreciated. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and a special mention goes to Fonny at the front desk, who was absolutely brilliant and made us feel so well looked after throughout our stay. Despite the noise, the beauty of the rooms, the private pool, the peaceful beach, and the exceptional service more than made up for it. We are definitely returning and would happily recommend The Lamai to others 🧡🙏🇹🇭☀️

I had a great stay at Lamai Samui. The property is filled with beautiful vegetation, giving it a peaceful and tropical feel from the moment you walk in. The rooms are a good size, clean, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. I also really enjoyed the multiple pools on the property — each one has its own vibe and makes it easy to relax wherever you are. The hotel is close enough to the main town to be convenient while still feeling quiet and tucked away. Overall, a solid place to stay in Samui

A very easy 5 star review. We stayed in the King Ocean Pool Villa and it was spectacular! Loved everything about it. The beds are some of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. All of the staff are just fantastic and extremely attentive to your needs. Breakfast was great. The restaurant food was great. The cocktails were great. The whole place is just so relaxing!
