The Lamai Samui

Hayley Buncombe

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved it! The resort is in a great location with easy walking access to nearby restaurants or shops, if you want an alternative to the in-resort dining. It is also in a slightly quieter area of Lamai, which is what we wanted. Our airport transfers were seamless, the room was very clean, and the room access to the pool was fantastic. Highly suggest booking the pool access suite. The staff were very helpful and friendly - felt sad to leave them. Thank you Tam, May, Khoon, Man, Sea, etc (inclusive of every encounter we had at the resort) for being so warm and welcoming! I highly recommend this resort to unwind and enjoy the beautiful Koh Samui. We cant wait to come back!

My stay in Lamai was honestly unforgettable. I stayed in a private villa with its own pool, and it felt like having a little paradise all to myself. The villa was beautifully designed, super spacious, and very clean, with a perfect mix of comfort and tropical luxury. Waking up and stepping straight into my private pool was definitely one of the highlights. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, but still close enough to everything if you want to explore. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive without being intrusive, which made the whole experience feel even more special. One of the most memorable moments was the dinner by the beach at Ocean Pier. It was such an amazing experience - the setting was magical, with the sound of the waves, soft lighting, and a stunning view of the ocean at night. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, making the whole evening feel very romantic and unique. Overall, it was the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and authentic island vibes. I would 100% come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway in Koh Samui.

We had an outstanding and wonderful vacation at the Lamai Samui, celebrating our silver (25 years) wedding anniversary. The oceanfront pool villa was without doubt the most amazing hotel "room" we have been able to stay in during all the years of our travels worldwide, so far. We stayed for 9 nights in May 2026. Having the villa was like having a part of paradise to ourselves. It offers a perfect mix of comfort and tropical luxury. Waking up, stepping straight out of bed into our private pool was one of the absolute highlights. The staff was super friendly and helpful at all times. A particular praise goes to Kae from Housekeeping. She did an amazing job each day cleaning up the villa and we loved her outgoing joy and friendliness. Any requests and queries were promptly answered by the staff through the reliable WhatsApp communication. As an additional treat to ourselves we booked a three-hour in-villa spa treatment, which has its price but can be highly recommended. A small complaint is that we had well in advance booked the dinner on the pier, which is heavily promoted on the resort's website, for our anniversary dinner. The pier was not open during any time during our stay, and we were only advised on short notice that the dinner as planned was not possible. We got the feeling that this was not due to the weather, but had to do with possible lack of staff or similar. Here we would have wished for a much earlier, pro-active advice from the resort that the dinner might not happen as booked. To the resort's credit, they hosted our dinner with all bells and whistles in the restaurant, instead. We found the breakfast buffet a bit too frugal for a hotel of this (price) class. Overall - absolutely amazing, an unforgettable experience!! We'll love to come again in the future.

Location is good in a more quiet part of Koh Samui but still accessible by taxi to shopping and restaurants. Right on beach (No waves). Clean rooms. Good service. Hotel could do with a bit of a refurbishment. Beautiful grounds. We had a plunge pool room and would recommend.

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 set menus from Luxury Escapes were well thought out and delicious. We did try the BBQ one night which was very nice except the cut and cooking of the steak is well below par- I believe a porterhouse for a BBQ would be a minimum cut to not look “Cheap”, the fish for the BBQ was superb and well made up for the steak. Cocktail hour was great and a real treat. Easy communication with front of house staff for travel etc. The girls who attended our massage did an amazing job. The gardeners are doing a great job and the grounds look wonderful. . It shows the place I imagine is being refurbished slowly but remains a very stylish resort, our pavilion pool room was out of this world and was a real luxury for us. We thank all staff we came across for making our holiday a memorable luxury stay. Thanks so much for an amazing holiday 🙏
