The hotel is pretty small and simple. Clean enough to live comfortably. Free motorbike was a nice touch. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. My main disappointment though was with the location. Koh Larn (coral Island) was indeed quiet and comfy, but it barely had any corals, most of the reef was dead and in pieces. Probably too many tourists or has to do with too many boats and jetskis zooming around the island. There was also too much trash on the beaches (we've tried all of them and only a couple of them were clean). Parasailing was lame, heights nowhere near exciting and it finished within 5 minutes. All in all, best to get a snorkeling tour on other islands or try parasailing or jetskis elsewhere. It's cheaper and more fun

We stayed on Koh Larn for two nights after a long time in Pattaya and before heading back to Bangkok.
Samanta by the Sea was a great find, and we enjoyed our stay very much.
The room was a great size, and it was even better that the hotel was only 5 min (walking) from the pier.
We were greeted by the owner and shown around. His friendliness and happiness were astonishing and so genuine.
Getting free noodles, bread, and coffee 24/7 was a lovely touch, too.
We can only recommend Samanta by the Sea and will stay here heapily again.

An unforgettable vacation! 😍 Definitely a place to relax! Now for all the details from the beginning:
1. Excellent service! They picked us up from the pier and dropped us off, always polite and never intrusive. The service is very discreet; they wait until you leave your room to clean, so no one disturbs you 🫶🏻. They also provide a scooter, which we enjoyed riding around on.
2. Beach and jet skis. I was very worried after reading some reviews. In reality, no one interfered with swimming. There are indeed some rocky areas, but you just watch your step and walk around them. The sand is soft and light, absolutely beautiful! I want to point out that this is the sea, and at low tide, there might be sea urchins in deeper areas; it's nature, we saw a couple. The water was crystal clear, around 30 degrees Celsius. There are fish for snorkeling! The sun loungers with yellow umbrellas were paid (200 baht).
3. The hotel's pool with a hydromassage is spotless, filled with seawater, and even open in the evenings. You can enjoy the sunset there.
4. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, neither too firm nor too soft – magnificent! The pillows were super soft!
5. Food. The hotel serves food, and everything is quite tasty. Walk a little further, and there are many other food options; you'd have to try hard to go hungry.
6. In the evening, you can walk or ride to the neighboring Tawaen beach, where all the entertainment, like music, fire shows, etc., happens. The area around our hotel, however, is very quiet and pleasant. (We did hear dogs barking at five in the morning, settling their differences, but these are local stray dogs, not controlled by the hotel, and it only happened once).
7. The water in the shower and tap was indeed salty; this is common on islands, and it took some getting used to.
Overall, everything was magnificent! A million thanks to the hotel, the staff, and the service! People truly try to make your stay comfortable! Beautiful, cozy, and quiet!

mizzypinkThe location is fantastic, right in front of the beach. The loft-style room was also a lot of fun. The shower pressure was great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the bathwater wasn't very hot.
The breakfast was very substantial and delicious, though it would have been even better if it were warm.
It was hard to get through to the dinner delivery place by phone.

Guest UserWe stayed at this hotel for two days. The rooms were clean and had a refrigerator and kettle. There was a small shop nearby. The hosts met us and drove us to the pier. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the pier.

Guest UserFriendly staff. The beach is just across the road from the hotel. The hotel has its own sunbeds, 100 baht each, but sometimes non-guests might use them. Still, it's generally much less crowded than the sunbeds closer to the ferry. For breakfast, there's scrambled eggs with sausages and rice porridge. If you want decent coffee, you can order it at their bar.
There's a foot rinse station right at the hotel entrance, to the left before the steps. We only noticed it after a day.
You can leave your luggage at reception until your departure, and there's a free transfer to the ferry.
Check-out is at 11 AM! We didn't realize, but they just informed us and let us finish packing calmly.
The shower and air conditioning are good.
The hotel has its own restaurant, and the food is delicious.

- Location: The location is great, easily accessible, close to the pier, and there's a small beach for walks.
- Room Condition: The room was good. We were on the ground floor, which I think is better than the upper floors, as the ground floor comes with an additional seating area in the garden. The amenities were quite good, the room was clean, and it was peaceful.
- Other Services: No breakfast provided. I understand they offer motorcycle rentals (but they were fully booked that day due to many people attending a trail run).
- What I found a bit unfair:
I traveled with my brother, his wife, and their kids. We had an agreement regarding the extra bed charges for adults and two small children, but the actual situation upon arrival didn't quite match what was agreed upon. However, I didn't dwell on it as I'm not sure what my brother's wife discussed. What was definitely not in line with the agreement was the ”accommodation rules” posted in our room. There was one child under 6 years old, who, according to the rules, should have been free, but we were still charged for an extra bed for them.
- Highlights:
The staff was excellent. Whether it was picking us up, dropping us off, handling transportation, or helping with various requests, they did everything.
