Mr matthew harris
Excellent stay staff very friendly, family run hotel, very clean and tidy , pool very nice and clean . Close to all amenities in lamai, we chose the bungalow option and wasn’t disappointed would recommend couples to stay here
Lovely place and close to all bars and restaurants.
Stayed for 12 nights in the villas. Staff were great, place was super clean. Manager was a great guy really friendly. Would highly recommend the place. Will be going back again. Eddie from Glasgow uk.
Nice clean facility but the cheapest rooms are a bit meh
The good:
- very nice clean pool with plenty of sunbeds, bar and restaurant close by, so quite the mini-resort style.
- good location right outside the noise of Lamai town, walking distance to many restaurants and beach
- good pressure in bum gun!
- air con was working well
The bad:
- room was quite basic without balcony
- room had questionable ventilation, seemingly the window was the only source of air, which is not optimal considering heavy traffic right outside the window. If booking this hotel, I’d ask for a room facing the pool, not the street
- very very hard beds, as often the case
Catfish hotel
Imagine flying halfway across the world to stay at a ‘resort’ that had no restaurant, room smelt of sewage, the Friday was next to the bed and was broke making an awful racket, the gym - well, it wouldn’t look out of place in your mates garage in the 90s it’s that bad, NOT a fitness studio, and the place doesn’t really look like the pictures. When we spoke to the owner who looks like the Chinese clown off hangover, he just said there’s nothing he can do and sorry. He lied and said there isn’t a restaurant on the hotels adverts but it’s on three different websites. The location wasn’t bad but this is defo a catfish like most of the deals in Thailand. DONT WASTW YOUR MONEY AND FIND BETTER!!
DO NOT GO THERE!
Pros:
- None to report
Cons:
- Significant price bait-and-switch tactics
- Misrepresented room availability
- Forced to pay double the confirmed Booking.com price upon arrival
- Hotel was largely empty despite claims of being "fully booked"
- Unprofessional and unfriendly reception staff
- Deceptive business practices
Despite having a confirmed Booking.com reservation for a twin room at the agreed price, upon arrival we were told this was "impossible" and were forced to pay double the original price for a different room. This occurred despite the hotel being visibly empty. The staff was unhelpful and seemed to be deliberately engaging in deceptive pricing practices.
I strongly advise potential guests to avoid this establishment and maintain detailed records of their original bookings if they do choose to stay here. DO NOT GO THERE!
