Ko Samui hotels near Bang Rak Pier

Pros: The hotel is fantastic

Cons: They need to change the old showers in the bathrooms

Pros: Good staff and nice pool villa. Great breakfasts. Awful News Eve ‘Gala’ but hilarious!

Cons: Pool villa was linked to another so not very private at all - none of this is clear when booking. Annoying attempt to sell us airport transfer at inflated price when we had just arrived and knew the (already inflated) price ! Hey Thailand!

Pros: Everything there it’s amazing, the staff , the room , the breakfast and all the facilities

Cons: The hotel it’s perfect, one of the best I’ve ever been

Pros: One of the best hotel where I had been.

Pros: Very nice beach strip and very good pool area. Rooms were clean, although quite small (the actual bedroom)

Cons: The area outside the property was quite beaten down. It wouldn’t have been a nice walk to get out of the resort. Breakfast was good, but there was not a diverse food option. The Italian restaurant (part of the property?) was always empty and reviews were not encouraging for us to try it

Pros: privacy, cleanness, and breakfast

Cons: maintenance of the beach

Pros: The Beach Boys are awesome. They get to know your habits —setting up towels on your favorite beach chair, drink orders etc. The villas are comfortable and the plunge pools are great! The outdoor bathroom is cool, but takes a little getting used to however the entire space is very private. The staff are great. My son and I took a cooking class. Just us and the chef—highly recommend.

Cons: We were there for New Year’s Eve The evening included very marginal entertainment and a fixed menu that was also marginal for almost 7400 baht pp (including service charges etc). Definitely would not recommend. We wanted to stay close and we should have gone out to a restaurant and come back for the fireworks at midnight. There are mosquitoes—not the resort’s fault—they do come by a spray your room and light citronella etc—but you should definitely pack bug spray.

Pros: Atention, instalations, restorant, food...perfect hotel!!

Pros: Just fantastic all round and seriously good value for money! From the moment we arrived the staff could not do any more for us! Very modern resort with stunning rooms and pool. Top notch cleanliness. Location a bit out of the way but they have shuttles to main areas so it is not a problem. It is actually so relaxing being away from the madness in a little tropical paradise. Chi beach club just fabulous as well.

Pros: The rooms are fully equipped and extremely comfortable. The pool is a good size perfect for exercise - not just leisure. The gym is well equipped. Closest beach - only 3 blocks - and the hotel will zip you there in a tuk-tuk, is peaceful paradise. Staff and management are friendly and approachable. Even the music played poolside is lovely. Fantastic experience.

Pros: Great place to relax in. The room was big and comfortable, breakfast was tasty and varied, and the pool was great.

Cons: Far from the center-which is good if you're looking for something more quiet.

Cons: 1.Breakfast and the serving menu have all been change. - disappointing 2.A strong Pungent sewage smell coming from the room toilet that will linger around the room after the lemon grass essential oil has all been evaporated. 3.Room’s Toilet bowl has been choking in regards even though paying toilet paper aren’t thrown. Had to call for help every day to de-choke the toilet ball. Attempted to request front desk for room change but was verbally “offer” with some vouchers over the phone by front desk which has never been offered even when I was checking out the hotel. 4.Disappointed to stay at the suite w Garden view The guests over at second & third level were hanging soiled clothes, swimwear that water has dripping onto level 1 at the garden. It’s our second time staying with Lanna but likely be our last. Such a great disappointment from our last trip back in 2017.

Pros: Spotless

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic great variety of foods, pool was relaxing and all facilities and rooms were in great clean condition.

Cons: The beach was advertised as part of resort but was a 10 minute walk away, although the beach club was very aesthetic and in great location.

Pros: Location, staff and food. Facilities are excellent around the property.

Cons: Maintenance of the room is an issue. Also, the air conditioning needs to be fixed. Moving the TV was a challenge due to fear of it snapping off it support.

Pros: Beautiful hotel and lovely staff. The food was excellent. The rooms were great and spotlessly clean. The spa was really nice too. Would highly recommend this hotel and wouldnt hesitate in staying there again.

Cons: The prices for drinks and food are quite expensive but then you would expect that with any hotel really.

Pros: Went the extra mile to make us all comfortable.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It was a tropical oasis

Cons: The bathroom often smelt like sewage in the shower particularly.

Pros: Stayed for a second time at Lanna. Great little resort with friendly, kind staff. The manager Loma is excellent and always at hand to over see things. Nothing is too difficult. Extremely clean and the beach club Chi is faboulous.

Pros: Perfect delicious food. They even have gluten free food. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

Cons: Resort is remotely located from cities. This is perfect when you want to stay at the resort.

Pros: Everything.Very well thought out design maximising it’s beautiful location.Situated on a small bay they have been able to preserve the natural beauty and tranquility of the island.

Cons: Nothing.The lack of nearby restaurants and shops while at times inconvenient is also the reason it can maintain its serenity and natural surroundings and so I wouldn’t change anything.Just factor in taxi costs if you want to venture out...but you’ll find after a day out you’ll want to come back to the quiet of the resort.

Pros: The breakfast was very disappointing to say the least. You eat at an open air restaurant at wooden tables that are old and sticky from the exposure to salt air. Everything looks old and tired. If you are lucky you will get a clean fork with no egg residue from a previous patron. This happened on six occasions in our 16 day stay. We constantly had to request for a serviette to wipe our mouth with. You were lucky if you got one serviette and god forbid you need another. The food selection was just sad. For 16 days there was no variety expect if you were lucky you would get a lovely hair or two in your bircher muesli. I have nothing good to say about the breakfast.

Cons: Everything could have been better. The way in which the hotel is advertised is certainly misleading and consumers need to know that what they see is NOT what they get. A holiday should be relaxing and enjoyable. You pay a certain price and expect a certain level of comfort. The hotel was advertised as a five star. I think the hotel needs to be rerated to a four star at most. The hotel's lobby is so old and tired, the steps are cracked and broken, the reception or lack thereof is disappointing. The first room at the hotel entrance that you see houses a rickety old pool table. I don't believe a pool table should be the first thing you see at a five star resort. The selection of DVDs you have to select from are all pirated and this in itself is an offence. We took four DVD's over our 16 day stay to view in our room and each one was pirated. My family selected DVD's too and likewise was disappointed. The hotel staff are not equipped to handle complaints or queries as they can hardly speak a word of English. If you are hoping for a concierge desk to assist you with any excursions think again. There is no concierge desk and you are better off asking one of the waiters of finding a tour operator that can assist you. If you need transport please do NOT arrange with the hotel as they will extort you. If you do arrange transport through the hotel then please be aware that you will more than likely need to wait 30 to 40 minutes for your requested transport which you are paying dearly for. I asked one of the reception ladies for an external taxi companies number so that we could arrange our own transport and I was simply told there are no numbers she can provide. Use Navi GO which is a similar offering to UBER. The drivers are wonderful, reasonably priced, on time and friendly.

Pros: What a wonderful hotel. The staff were truly amazing and ensured our every need was catered for. The little touches such as a leaf on our bed at night with a nice message and the next days weather forecast made such a difference. Lovely clean rooms with great bathroom facilities also. But, again, the best thing was the staff. Wonderful people who wanted us to have a trip to remember.

Cons: Breakfast was not as good as I expected

Pros: This resort is nice, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable and was one of the nicest rooms we had stayed at on our trip, our room had a lovely outdoor bath, the facilities are great, the pools are very nice and relaxing.

Cons: The food and drink prices were very expensive at this resort compared to what we had experienced while being in Thailand for three weeks, even at other resorts. The resort is located on a quiet side of Koh Samui which is nice when you want a secluded holiday (we were on Honeymoon), but it is far to go and explore and the shuttle does not run as often as it should and is sometimes fully booked, which means you need to get private taxis (return trip costs 800 bht). The beach is nice, but was not as beautiful as we had anticipated.

Pros: Beach was really good and very close to the hotel!! Not every were allowed to smoke on the beach which is hugely appreciated from my and my family side!!! good Job Melati!!! breakfast was really good. Really like almost all, 3 times a day free shuttle to center city.

Cons: A bit old facility, Spa is not Professional for manicure ladies :(( so this one better choose some where else. Snake was found in the toilet of the beach, which was bit scary :( for kids would be ended in Trauma. The serving of the Fish in the restaurant is terrible was fall down on the dress of my wife :(( Coaching is needed for upgrading the level of the staff!!

Pros: Staff were excellent, exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Pros: Room where nice and spacious Beach was amazing Lots of activities to do Great spa but pricey compared to other 5 star hotels Breakfast was nice with many varieties Location was nice.

Pros: Amazing space and layout of villa for families. Wonderful hotel staff.

Cons: Villas and common spaces could do with a refresh; they are starting to look a little tired.

Pros: Our villa was beautiful; fully self contained and air conditioned with plenty of comfortable beds, large rooms with private bathrooms and a luxurious master suite. The private pool and courtyard was lovely and clean, perfect for a pre-breakfast dip and for afternoon drinks by the pool while the kids played. The staff were attentive and helpful, and the included breakfast had plenty of tasty options.

Cons: Nothing within walking distance and the in-house dining option was very expensive.

Pros: Staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Smart device to use throughout stay for calling guest services, getting picked up, maps, calling home, etc. Rock pool restaurant was great food. Villas were spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Cons: Separate buildings within the 3 bed villas so the master was on its own and our children were in a building across from the pool. Didn’t realise until we arrived. It worked out fine though.

Pros: The view of the village was excellent and the security

Cons: The number of key for the villa , I suggest there should be ONE master key for all doors.
