The Lamai Samui - Formerly Le Meridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa

At first glance, the price seems like a great deal for a villa. However, after checking in, it became clear that the lower cost comes with compromises in detail. The soundproofing is a major issue—not just from the adjacent bathrooms, but from the entire space. Conversations and noises from the hallway are loud and clear, creating an overall lack of privacy and comfort. The staff are friendly, but their performance needs improvement. In particular, the front desk could communicate more effectively, as unclear information led to confusion. This place might suit budget-conscious travelers, but those seeking a quieter and more refined experience should consider other options.

Quite outdated hotel, overpriced with smelly bedding. The hotel obviously try’s to take advantage of the former Le Meridien-status. However, with smelly bedding and especially stinky pillows, that succes won’t last

very friendly, great breakfast, comfy toom and great shower can look up to the sky

Great hotel and great service. It is a long walk to Lamai and next time I would choose a resort closer to

This was a lovely place to stay during our 9 night stay in Koh Samui. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel was peaceful, with there always being plenty of space in the restaurant, bar and round the pool or in the garden area. The buffet breakfast was amazing, with lots of choices of types of dishes. Similarly, lunch and evening dining here is also good, if, maybe, a little more costly than if you were to venture out into the resort. There are a few good places within walking distance and many others a short taxi ride into Lamai proper. We definitely recommend trying a treatment in the Spa - we tried a traditional Thai massage, which was reasonably priced and very therapeutic. The beach was lovely and quiet. The sea, blissfully warm, although the water remained pretty shallow for some way out….not a criticism however, as it was perfectly deep enough to swim. The staff were super-helpful and friendly and definitely reinforced the Thai reputation of being ‘the Land of Smiles’. I would absolutely recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Lovely staff, beautiful views. Great breakfast, we would love to go back!
