Serene quiet spot not far away from the bustle....”

Loved it. I was travelling alone to train Muay Thai. I chose to stay at Lamai Bayview as an injury prevented me from training all the time and I knew I would want a quiet spot to chill out in between. I spent the extra on a Seaview bungalow and it didn't disappoint - plenty roomy for a solo traveller although for a couple I would recommend going for the superior bungalow for extra space. True the bungalows are a bit dated but still have a relaxed rustic feel and are very clean. Wifi connection was good and great for making video calls whilst chilling on the balcony looking out to sea. The palm trees and bamboo all around feels like the resort is in keeping with its natural surroundings , an added charm. I saw some crappy reviews on the breakfast so wasn't expecting much however, I thought there was quite an adequate selection for a 3 * place and plenty of it-after a morning of Muay Thai training, I absolutely took advantage of the breakfast buffet! Staff always smiley and helpful. Location wise, if you are looking to be in the thick of it, don't stay here. Lamai Bayview is a peaceful calm tucked away in the quiet end of Lamai but still near the nice beaches - a rare find in Samui that I notice is becoming seriously busy in most places, especially on the ring road. Perhaps a tad overpriced but I'm not sure you would find many mid range accommodation in such a good spot on Samui these days. Similar locations seem to be occupied by the higher end expensive resorts/hotels. I hired a scooter which you kinda need to access the more happening areas in Chaweng and Lamai - don't hire from Lamai Bayview though, you can get cheaper elsewhere for 100 or 150 baht/day. I stayed for 18 nights and would go back. A perfect base to retreat to in between Samui adventures.

Lamai Bayview Resort”

The resort exceeded our expectations, the bungalow with A/C and ceiling fan sliding doors to balcony with comfortable chairs and coffee/drinks table and the view across the bay breath taking particularly the sunsets and the night lights of Lamai Beach and the gardens with night lights along the paths to the Bungalows lighting up the well kept gardens. The staff were friendly polite and very helpful. Swimming pool and surrounds and pool furniture was exceptionally clean and wonderful. We can highly recommend the resort to anyone looking for holiday accommodation on Koh Samui especially the Beach front bungalows. Easy to find transport to anywhere on the Island an abundance of hire cars and motorbikes

Top marks for the Lamai Bay View Resort”

The resort is situated on the little rocky North end of Lamai Beach on Koh Samui. I originally booked one of the small fan cooled bungalow. It does say on the description that the bungalow is small and indeed it was. Everything is well fitted in but at the end of the day you can barely walk around the bed. You still get a beautiful view all over Lamai Beach. Upon returning I upgraded to an aircon bungalow and that was just perfect: The cute balcony, the larger bathroom and better bed, TV facing the bed, a proper desk where to put your things and windows all around the front. You are also closer to the water too. Why top marks? I managed the unthinkable for someone who rides a big bike all year around at home. I came off the small rental bike on a light sandy patch on a bitumen road and sustained two broken bones in my shoulder. I couldn't believe it, so stupid like the many other thousand people before me.... Rattikorn, the Front Office Manager, who was at the hotel desk when I came back to the resort organised a cab to hospital. She waited for me well over an hour, may be two to make sure I was alright. She knew what documents to bring with me at hospital, advise me on my best options with regards to my insurance and she did the talking with the hospital staff. She totally pampered me when I was still under the shock of my fractures. She also came to visit me the second day in hospital before my discharge. Another guy returned the bike to the shop and took care of the repairs. All in all it made the all difference between a disaster and a damaged controlled embarrassing booboo. Everyone was so friendly and helpful that I stayed a few more nights before flying back. The manager Mee was there too to help and get things done like the cash advance to thanks the guys who picked me up on the road and drove both the bike and myself back the resort. And none of them ever asked for anything.

Best hotel on the island”

The hotel consists of bungalows of different sizes and sea views, many rooms with a magical view, the territory is green, birds sing, parrots fly, quietly, quietly, snugly. Panoramic view of Lamai beach, people come for lunch, dinner, enjoy a beautiful view! For breakfast with great pleasure went, wonderful food. In Lamai Bay View resort I work the most wonderful people, they give the hotel a wonderful atmosphere! From the first days we really loved SOM (Phakaon Ruangsri) !!! She always helps and tells you everything. Delicious cocktails and a friendly smile will provide San (Aungkyaw Sann), thank you very much! On the last day of rest, Aeroflot airline provided problems and refused to facilitate the transfer of departure, Aunt Pat (Onanong Sripannak) came to help. She agreed with Bangkok Airways and our departure was postponed at a convenient time for us. Thank you for everything ! You are our family, we will return to you! With love Irina and Alexander, Russia.

Lovely setting, fantastic staff.”

We stayed for 4 nights at Lamai Bayview Resort and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff make you feel so welcomed. The rooms are a little tired but the view and proximity to the sea (for the Beachfront Bungalows) are fantastic. The food at the restaurant is great too.

Amazing resort in every way!”

We stayed at this resort with our 10 months old baby. It was just amazing!!! You have an amazing view, the privat beach of the hotel and the beach right next to it are soooo beautiful!!! I would truly recommend this resort to anyone! It's a great value for the price in Koh Samui and the location ist just perfect!

A fabulous little resort ”

The bungalows are set amidst trees and flowers on a hillside with wonderful views of the ocean, the bay and the mountains. The location and setting is simply exquisite and has an ambience that I doubt the 5 star hotels which surround it have. It has it's own private secluded beach in a small bay, with powder fine white sand. While the bungalows are small, have a lovely little balcony. While they need some updating they are immaculate and were promptly cleaned every morning while I was at breakfast. The minibar was the best I've come across, the air conditioning was effective, wifi worked and water a perfect temperature. The staff were unobtrusive and it felt very private. The breakfasts had a large choice of Western and Thai food and home baked bread. This is the place if you want to experience nature, birds geckos. It was such a find, particularly in the high priced Lamai Beach area. And I noticed they provided plug adapters in the. In all the attention to detail was unsurpassed.

Fantasic service, beautiful outlook”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lamai Bay View Resort and would certainly stay there again. The Beach Front Bungalows are definitely worth the extra cost as the outlook across the bay is lovely. The restaurant serves a wide range of foods which is convenient as there are not many decent restaurants in Lamai (when compared to Chaweng).

A beautiful serene place ”

We went there on a 5 day trip and booked this one as we were on a budget . But, apart from the location Which is quiet inside from the actual main area and the room was quiet smaller and not enough lighting, It was an absolute pleasure to stay there . The pool and the view was beautiful Our bungalow was facing the beach and sea it had a beautiful view and a nice sit out big and spacious . Our 5yr old daughter loved playing in the beach were they had toys and sand castles to play and a massage parlour facing the sea.. the breakfast was good with wide varieties ..overall it was very reasonable and a beautiful peaceful place to relax .. They had new year party with fire crackers on the beach . Which was beautiful to watch from our place The welcome drink and the staff were also pleasant. Except that they were little strict on timings and renting bikes . Overall a lovely stay . It's the one thing we miss the most in koh samui..

Nice quiet resort with a view”

We were originally given a room at the back which was not nice, so upgraded for 500B to a bungalow at the front which was so much better! The sea was only 20 metres away, very peaceful and we could see all of Lamai beach in the distance from our private balcony. Resort is 5 to 10 minutes drive into Lamai but can rent a motorbike or car from the resort for a very reasonable price. We rented a motorbike the first day, then car the second to explore the island. Staff are nice but can be quite slow when you are in a hurry. Breakfast really fresh and lots of choice. Room had tea and coffee making facilities, a comfortable bed, safe for valuables, nice balcony...couldn't ask for more. Really liked the kittens that visited us on our balcony, very cute :) Would recommend this resort for people looking for peace and quiet just away from Lamai. Tip - we had an AMAZING meal at Beach Republic, 2 mins down the main road....very cool place, good food, amazing decor and ambiance with soft house music. Highly recommended!! Summary

Paradise on Lamai Beach”

The resort was formed of cabins set on a hillside overlooking a beautiful bay. The location was the major attraction of this resort, at the quiet end of Lamai Beach - no fights for sun loungers at the pool or on the beach. Due to a reef about 200m from the shore, the sea was very calm and quite shallow at this point, so good swimming. I would pay the extra and book a superior beachfront cabin as the views are worth it.

Nicely suprised”

I was just staying overnight before catching a flight home the following evening. Loved the beachside bungalow, very comfortable, clean and room with a beautiful view! Pool area was a bonus looking out at the ocean as the tide was low so not able to swim in the ocean. Only a short easy walk into the main street of Lamai (20 mins) along the beach. Staff were helpful and courteous on arrival and throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views and gardens, too far from town”

The staff were very friendly and helpful and made us a packed breakfast on our last day as we had an early start. The standard rooms were very small however, barely enough space to walk around the bed let alone for luggage. Aircon was good, TV was good, our kettle didn't work however and the fridge was pretty useless. Its about a 400 baht taxi for 4 people to Lamai town aswell which put the price of a night out up considerabley. The food was very nice but not cheap and beer was very expensive at 100 baht for small chang. Lovely surrounding as i say though but next time I'd go for a deluxe room for space to breathe.

Amazing!”

BEAUTIFUL property! Where the jungle meets the sea! Small, lovely beach with lounge chairs. Free use of kayaks. Views from most patios are spectacular! Breakfast is huge & fresh. Staff soooo accommodating. We were there 2 weeks in april during the corona virus kerfuffle & we were treated like family. I have fond memories of Lamai Bay View & would HIGHLY recommend. You wont be sorry!

This was a great place to stay and Pat the manager was excellent. Great cocktails too!”

Everything is as it looks in the pictures. Delicious food and drinks. The rooms were lovely and clean. Great views. The pool was so relaxing. You're close enough to shops, another beach and lamai centre.

Great view, good breakfast, communication can be better”

The resort is right on the beach but the beach area is limited and bit rocky. But we enjoyed the low tide & we could walk/float for miles in the calm water. there is no direct sunrise or sunset but the sunset view is very dramatic. Breakfast was good but the same options every day can get boring for people staying for longer. We didn't eat other meals, because it was more fun to walk on the beach & try out other restaurants & we can walk to 7 eleven & family mart for snacks/water. The walk on the beach after dinner was bit dark, but we had our torch light. the torchlight holder was empty in our room, I guess we could have asked for it from the reception. contacting the reception is another issue, there is no phone in the rooms so you have to hike up to the reception. I emailed the hotel twice for a pickup but they never responded. Car from our other hotel in Lamai to Lipa cost us 500 baht but the car from the hotel to the Lipa Noi was 700 Baht. Lamai is further than Lipa Noi pier.

Amazing view,nice staff,very quit ”

Best view,nice pool but small ,break fast is very basic but it's ok,price is good for the view,you can rent motor cycle for resorts for 250bath,restaurant is very expensive so rent a motor cycle and eat from our side,they have 3 nice dogs ,white one his name is lucky ,I wanted to talk him home :).

The best hotel at the Lamai beach!”

We booked bungalow for 2 nights and than prolonged our staying for 2 nights additionally!!! Relaxing atmosphere, nice view, clean bungalow, friendly staff and good location: 20 minutes distance to centre of Lamai beach. We really enjoyed!!!

Relax, Calm and Peaceful Environment”

We stay at this resort for 4days 3nights. There are motorbike available for rent for transport. Love this resort as it is very peaceful and calm, with the sea breeze at night. The beach is accessible from the resort, we lay on the beach at night, listen to the sea, and look at the bright star. Recommended to those nature lover and who search for peaceful, calm environment. We love the massage at the resort as well and the staff provide massage has very good skill. Preferable to have more variables of food during breakfast. Otherwise we enjoy our stay..
