Lamai Family Hotel

"A beautiful resort within the hills / forest, set away from the main road and is only really accessible via taxi or the hotel shuttle bus (or scooter). We were on a budget & made use of the twice free daily shuttle to go to fisherman’s village and made sure we had drinks/snacks etc for when we wanted to spend the day relaxing on the resort (at the amazing pool and on our balcony with stunning views). There are twice weekly yoga classes and a new wellness programme. My husband and I did a mindfulness / positive thought session with Dean in guest relations and it was great, relaxing and in spirit with the beautiful surroundings. Breakfast is amazing with such a good range of options, both a buffet of pastries, breads, fruit, Thai soup and rice and fabulous juices plus made to order various breakfast meals. However I was really disappointed in the lack of vegetarian options for the rest of the menu once breakfast stopped. We shared a pizza and it wasn’t good, nachos and a vege burger were other options, I wish there’d been more vege inspiration. Prices for drinks and food were about 3 times above our budget (and treatments compared to the main road) but wine options were great which was a rare find in our three weeks in Thailand, much appreciated. Beautiful 3 night stay."

"Great hotel with great friendly staff. Away from hustle and bustle but can walk to many places. "

"Excellent experience. One of the best hotel at Samui."

"First time at Banyan Tree & it was exceptional. Everything clean & beautifully presented. The staff were fantastic in their knowledge & friendliness whilst being totally professional. I shall certainly stay there again!"

"The facility and location is optimal! Thailand strives to offer up some of the best hospitality found anywhere in the entire world, and property and the staff is some of the best anywhere. Everyone seems to love and appreciate their job, and this reflected each time you have an encounter with any employee. You are always greeted a huge smile and a kind hello. It’s very amazing and endearing. "

"This is a stunning property! Garden Pool Villas are bright, clean, private and vastly spacious. You could easily spend your whole vacation time in this space. Staff are exceptional in every way. Two fabulous restaurants, daily breakfast, free parking, two pools and beach frontage of course. Centrally located (but not right in the middle of it). DO NOT hesitate or think twice. We will definately be returning."

"Fantastic staff both front of house and bar/restaurant, they remembered what I drank be that coffee in the morning or a Sangah Beer in the afternoon. Room was cleaned thoroughly each day and reception staff organised a motorcycle for me without hesitation Beautiful beach front location with plenty of bars and restaurants but about 1 kilometre walk along the beach to Lamai town"

"We highly recommend this resort. This was our fifth time staying at Pavilion and it was incredible and the staff are amazing and friendly. We loved our time there - the location was central and the beach was clean and family friendly. "
