Hotels near Khao Laem Ya, Rayong City

The hotel is located across the road from a beautiful beach. They offer good breakfast, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. On the downside, there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and no clothes drying rack on the balcony.

Good....aircon, quiet at night, switched on staff, location a short walk to the beach clean room, stayed in room 206. Room for improvement...breakfast could be better, eggs were cold, better if cooked to order, having omelette as an option would be good.

Couldn't book my preferred hotel on Koh Samet, so I just settled for one night here. To my surprise, it was quite lovely and clean, and the room was spacious enough. All the staff were incredibly friendly. Although the facilities weren't top-notch, for about 200 baht, what more could you ask for? I'm giving it a full 5 stars because of the excellent service. The only thing to note is that the soundproofing is quite poor, and my neighbors happened to disturb my rest, but it still doesn't stop me from liking this place. It's quiet with a gentle breeze… a perfect transit spot.

Excellent price and quality ratio. A small cozy hotel is practically on the beach, our room was mainly a building with balcony and sea view. Breakfast is average but there is an opportunity to buy something extra for breakfast. Room cleaning is daily. Sunset is simple, the only shower is filling the whole floor in the toilet. The beach across the road is very beautiful and practically uncrowded. Nearby there is a shop 7/11. Hotel recommends

The room is very clean and close to Tongpei Wharf, just an 8-minute walk away, with delicious food available along the way. A big thank you to the front desk guy. I left my diving gear in the room, and he rode a motorcycle all the way to find me and return it. Many thanks to him—I'll stay here again next time.

Excellent! It's close to the beach and has a swimming pool for the kids. Getting there was easy, and the breakfast was varied and delicious. The accommodation was peaceful, but the air conditioning in the room was very noisy because it's old. Everything else was great, and the service was good too. It's perfect for a family vacation where you truly want to relax. There's not much traffic passing by, so it's incredibly quiet.

This newly opened hotel is, in my opinion, one of the best on Koh Samet. Most places on the island are typically guesthouses, regardless of their star rating, but this one actually feels like a proper hotel. The towels are very thick, amenities are provided, and there's even a laundry bag. The toilet is Kohler, the TV is TCL, and the room is spacious and, surprisingly, very clean. The only minor downsides might be the slightly low water pressure and the somewhat noisy air conditioning, but these are small issues in an otherwise great stay. It has its own quiet beach, and I'm very satisfied with everything. It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel I've been this happy with. Of course, I'm comparing it to the older, often overpriced guesthouses on the island – this hotel is an absolute gem! The staff are all friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is a buffet, which is quite extensive for a hotel of this size. If it's priced at 600-700 baht, it's an incredibly good deal for this island!

The hotel is clean and the rooms are lovely...it's right on the beach, has a playground and a swimming pool. I loved it and will definitely stay here again next time.

This is a good low budget option to experience island life, but not that low budget £60 per night ( January 2026) We are very familiar with island life in Thailand and appreciate that some things just don’t work as well. The location of Malibu Samed Resort is gorgeous, it’s more or less situated on the beach of the small quaint Wong Duean Bay. There are several beach restaurants available, the vibe is chilled, without the drinking or ******** culture. It’s lovely. Our welcome was warm, the staff were great and happy to help with our luggage. Our room is small 16 m² with 2 single beds, some hanging and storage space. It has a rustic feel to it. There is a fridge which is always welcome, tea and coffee making facilities, which we always appreciate, as well as a safety deposit box & flat screen TV. The bed and pillow are comfortable but not sumptuous. Towels are provided and I would say are of typical island quality. However the shower was an issue, obviously water is limited on the island and taking a hot shower was challenging but actually having a good supply of water either in the evening or morning was very hit and miss. Missed more often, it gets frustrating when you can’t have an adequate shower, that’s one of the reasons we move about frequently. Breakfast is of limited quality but there are a variety of options including cereal, hot food both western & Thai. Toast cereal and tea & coffee. The pool area was hardly used during our stay so a nice quiet retreat from the beach was available.

The location is very good. Walk across the road to the beach. The sand is fine, the sea water is clear, you can swim. There are many things to buy in front of the beach. It is also near a 7-11 store. As for the room, we chose a room to watch the waves. It has 2 large beds, can accommodate 4 people. The room and breakfast are not luxurious and expensive, but it is okay and not difficult. The refrigerator and TV do not work. When plugged in, the electricity does not work. There is no hair dryer or slippers in the room. The bathroom does not separate the wet and dry zones. But it is not a problem for us. If there is a chance to come back to visit, we will definitely choose to stay here again.
