Hotels near Lamai Temple, Koh Samui

This is a wonderful property. The rooms organized are very spacious and the showers are the best that I have experienced with the water pressure and the size of the shower. The bed could stand to be softer because it's doesn't have any cushion for the top level so it wasn't for the standards that I would like. A few issues I had was for the restaurant breakfast that there were no focused fans and it was very hot and humid even though it was in the open air. Sweating while eating breakfast dead 7:30 in the morning doesn't need to be that uncomfortable if they would put some focused fans would make such a difference. 2nd issue a parking attendant on the night of April 12th and 13th was not helpful at all, he sat at his chair and didn't guide where to park or assist with the traffic or parking, after I park my car and shut off the engine then he came to me and told me to move it forward more...why didn't he do his job when it required him to do so, plus he was not smiling (not polite for both my Thai partner and I). 3rd issue is regarding maid didn't change our sheet for our 3rd night. We put 4 pillows on the floor and stripped the bed cover before we left the room, so the maid can see the stains on the bed. We return to the room about 7pm and our bed was just cover it back up without changing the sheet plus non of the coffee items and bathroom items were replinished. Both of us enjoy this property location, view, pool, breakfast, all other staffs were very nice and polite including other parking attendant, except what we mentioned.

The staff were very friendly and even offered to move us to a less noisy room because of a party happening at the temple next door. Not a bad location but also not very central or near the beach, helps to have a bike to get around.

We stayed at the hotel for 16 days and our overall impression was positive. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. Our room was spacious, with a kitchen area on the balcony. It was clean when we checked in, and housekeeping was consistently good whenever we requested it. However, the kitchen unfortunately lacked any utensils, cutlery, cooking hob, or even dish soap – just a sink. We usually prepare breakfast at the hotel, so we had to buy everything ourselves. The balcony gets direct sunlight from morning until midday, making it extremely hot and difficult to cook. We couldn't use the balcony at all because it was always too hot, with no breeze whatsoever. The room itself was bright and well-arranged. The shower was good and convenient, with spacious glass shelves. There's also a drying rack on the balcony, which was a nice touch.👍 We liked the pool, although it felt a bit small for the number of rooms. There was something a bit unpleasant to look at in the pool area: a broken wall with rusty, half-rotted iron underneath it. It definitely needs repair, and I'd like to bring this to the management's attention. Another unpleasant point: our room was on the third floor, and no help with luggage was offered either at check-in or check-out. We had very heavy suitcases, and with our back problems, we had to carry them up and down the stairs ourselves. Such incidents always leave a bad taste and feel like a lack of respect for guests. On the downside, soundproofing is poor. You can hear conversations in the corridor very clearly. At night, we not only heard people talking but also arguing, which kept us up for a couple of nights. There was also a very unpleasant incident. The security guard was inexplicably absent, and a car backing up hit some parked motorbikes, including ours. We had just arrived and were taking off our helmets when a neighboring bike fell onto ours. It wasn't badly damaged because my husband managed to catch it. The car driver didn't even bother to get out, check the situation, or apologize; he just drove off. If my husband hadn't caught the falling bike, many other bikes could have been damaged. A note for the security guard! We liked the hotel's location. We used a motorbike, so we visited all the nearby beaches, which suited us well. If walking, it's about a 15-minute walk to the beach. Overall, I would give this hotel a solid four out of five stars.

We spent 2 weeks with my daughter in this hotel. Good staff, always ready to help with a smile and really with desire. The location of the hotel is good, the first coastline. Large sandy beach, sometimes there were not enough sun loungers. Breakfasts are very modest. Prices in the hotel restaurant are high, mostly ate in other places

A wonderful hotel with great value for money! The rooms are spacious and very clean. There is a separate set of towels for the pool and the beach. Yes, the furniture is not new, but it is good quality. The balcony is spacious, and we had a lovely view of greenery, palm trees, and even a field with a real buffalo 😊 The hotel staff are very friendly, and laundry service can be arranged at the reception desk. There is a Top’s supermarket nearby, and if you walk uphill from the hotel, you’ll find a place called Food Corner, which we highly recommend. The beach is only a 5-minute walk away, which is very convenient. Since Chaweng has very few beach access points due to dense beachfront development, this is a big plus. Some reviews mention that the hotel has its own sunbeds on the beach, although we didn’t use them. The main street is also about a 5-minute walk away, or you can easily get there by tuk-tuk.

Great hotel, around a 5 minute walk from the centre and the beach. We travelled as a couple and found the hotel one of our favourites after 1 month in Thailand. Would highly recommend great value for money

This hotel is right on Lamai Beach, which is a fantastic location – you can walk straight out to the beach, and the views are great. The public areas are spacious, and you can tell it was probably a really nice hotel in the past, but it's not well-maintained now, and a lot of the facilities are old and worn. The room itself was clean and tidy, though the complimentary bottled water is limited to two bottles per day. Overall, I'd say it's still a very good value-for-money resort.

The furniture in the villa was obviously old, and the cupboards didn't open well. The location of the rooms is not convenient. If someone goes to the toilet, then you can only go from the nursery to the kitchen through the pool area.The lighting was quite dim, and there was no desk chair. The pool is clean, towels were changed every day and bottled water was provided. The breakfast is good. You could order a shuttle bus to the beach or the store for free. P.S. The bags that we left on the bedside table and planned to use for some reason, the cleaners made garbage bags. I believe that cleaners have the right to throw out only what is inside the trash can.

We really liked the Utopia Resort. It was clean, well-maintained, and quiet. We stayed in a bungalow overlooking the pool. The sea was 20 meters away, and the water was clear and warm. Low tide was only 2 meters. The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed, and water was replenished every day! The staff was friendly and always answered all our questions. Sun loungers and beach towels were free for hotel guests. We didn't have meals, and it didn't bother us at all, as there were plenty of cafes around, a night market behind the bridge, and we could eat in the hotel restaurant. We always had our own breakfast. We bought yogurts, bread, cheese, and bacon at 7:11. In the morning, we drank coffee and ate fruit and sandwiches by the pool. We had the best massage therapists at the hotel. We tried many salons around, but no one does it better than ours. In 10 days, they put me on my legs, I got a pinched nerve. The hotel is quiet, at 6:00 pm all life stops), but if you want fun, there are lots of bars around! I recommend the hotel!

We spend 16nights, very good location. Privat beach acses , sunbeds and beach towers for free. Close to shops restaurant, bike rental. Every day cleaning Room, and 2x botlle of water, coffee.
