Located on a hill, Palm Coco Mantra offers a peaceful retreat in Lamai. It features an outdoor pool, a restaurant and air-conditioned units with a private balcony. Free Wi-Fi and parking are provided.

Stylish rooms offer modern Thai interiors with colourful fabrics and unique wall paintings. Each well-appointed room is equipped with a cable TV, minibar and shower facilities. What a lovely place! We remember our stay with the best superlatives. We had a room with a beautiful view of the sea. There are armchairs on the balcony where you can spend evenings enjoying the surrounding silence. There is a lot of well-kept greenery around and birds sing beautifully in the morning. The staff deserves the highest respect and praise. Always helpful, always interested, smiling. When we caught fish on a fishing trip, they prepared them Thai style and they were fantastic. You can rent a scooter on site for 200 baht per day, which makes it very easy to communicate with the center of Lamai or explore the island. Kayaks and equipment can be rented on site, included in the price of your stay. The site is on the beach, which is shallow and tidal. This means that sometimes there is no water for swimming. This is interesting in itself. However, this is compensated by the swimming pool right on the beach and the restaurant. Palm Coco Mantra is really worth recommending if you are looking for rest and want to feel taken care of.

Located in Lamai, 800 metres from Lamai Beach, Rosa Mar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 4.3 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks, 12 km from Fisherman Village and 14 km from Big Buddha. The hotel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. It was absolutely perfect! Nice hotel, very clean rooms, a nice pool, very friendly stuff. Rooms, especially the bed sheets and the towels smell nice! We extended our stay and stayed 5 instead of 3 nights. We had to change our room once because of the extension of our stay which went 100% smoothly and with no stress! We only had to change rooms because they only have 2 rooms with pool view (which we had booked in the beginning) and it was already booked by other people when we asked to extend our stay. They made us feel at home all the time. It doesn’t matter if garden or pool view both rooms are nice and we would definitely come back! Motorbike is recommended (Mr Pai is not far away, only 5 minutes of walking and it was very good service and also the price was good!)

Located a few steps from Bophut Beach, GOODTHINGS Cafe & Hotel offers 3-star accommodation in Bophut and features a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 200 metres from Fisherman Village. To get to the hotel, you have to go through the cafe and through the back. You wouldn't know that there was a hotel entrance out back just by being in the cafe. The hotel was very clean and the owners were extremely friendly. Your key card works at the cafe entrance as well when they are closed (11pm to 11am). My wife and I plan on staying here for one more night before leaving Koh Samui. Fisherman's Village is a really nice area to stay in Koh Samui and this hotel was in a very central location.

Situated in Lipa Noi, 300 metres from Lipa Noi Beach, Tropical Heavens Garden Samui features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. This 3-star hotel features free WiFi and a bar. The property is non-smoking and is located 16 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. Tropical Heavens Garden was tranquil, beautiful with wonderful hosts, who accommodated our every need. Our stay was like a home from home. Everything you could possibly need from excursions to laundry was available. We really appreciated the knowledge of our hosts who helped with organising a trip to pig island. We also found that being able to rent bikes directly from the hotel was a bonus. Our stay was the perfect way to get into island life. A big thank you to both our hosts and the staff for making our time so wonderful. We would 100% recommend 👌

Situated in Koh Samui, 2.3 km from Chaweng Beach, Bluemango Pool Villa & Resort Koh Samui features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi. Some units at the property have a balcony with a sea view.

The hotel offers 3-star accommodation with a hot tub and terrace. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and the staff are incredibly warm and accommodating. When we encountered an issue with the air-conditioning in our original villa, the team promptly upgraded us to a more spacious one, which was a wonderful surprise. One of the highlights was the direct access to the beach via a private staircase from the villa—such a beautiful and convenient touch. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Facing the beachfront, Pearl of Samui Resort offers 3-star accommodation in Lamai and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a concierge service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We stayed for 5 nights at the Pearl of Samui Resort and were very sad that we had to leave so soon! The bungalows are very cute. Each bungalow has a terras/veranda with lounge chairs. In the morning when the sun is shining the staff closes the white curtains around the terraces which gives shade to the rooms and gives a real island vibe. The room is cleaned daily and is very modern. The bed is compared to other locations in Thailand very soft and comfortable. The airconditioning works very well! There is good quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. The resort provides fresh beach and pool towels daily. There's a minibar in the room with decently priced drinks and snacks. The facilities are great. There's plenty of space around the pool to lounge with a beautiful view of the beach. The pool is exceptionally clean and we enjoyed swimming each day. The pier on the beach has a great massage tent. The beach is cleaned daily. The resort is next to a 5-star resort which is exceptionally convenient because there are crossing guards to help cross the busy road! There's a 7-11 across the road that we also frequented. The staff was super friendly and spoke good English. We were sad to leave them. The restaurant/lounge has delicious food that is decently priced. They arranged a taxi transfer to pick us up which was decently priced. We were super satisfied with our stay at the Pearl of Samui! If you're looking for a well kept, relaxing location this is the place for you!

Great spot if you are diving with Discovery Divers, since their pier for morning launch is walking distance.

Situated in Lamai, 200 metres from Lamai Beach, CHUZ Villas Samui SHA Plus features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. This 3-star resort features free WiFi and a restaurant. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Absolutely loved our stay at CHUZ Villas. It’s like a little oasis of serenity in Koh Samui. Villas are stunning, facilities and cleanliness are outstanding, staff are so attentive too. It’s about 20 mins walk from the main strip of Lamai but honestly it’s not even an issue. If you don’t feel like walking taxis are always readily available. Our stay was just perfect there, if we are ever back in Koh Samui we will be 100% coming back to CHUZ Villas.
