Good value for money resort, staff are super friendly, breakfast is good, the pools over the road are good, the beach is peaceful and quiet, however take ear plugs as the walls and ceilings are paper thin and you can hear everything!
Good: rooms are well equipped, clean comfortable, pretty nice. Service: staff are excellent with little touches like finding out names using your name. Pools: good variety and plenty of sun beds. Breakfast: plenty of options and good quality. Bad: Pricing: starts high as you would expect from a hotel but you have to add 17% to everything. Also, there’s only one place to eat and you don’t want the same menu day and night so most people eat at the many great restaurants close to the hotel. This has two impacts, after 7 the hotel is dead and also highlights the pricing. Air con in room: so loud I had to wear ear plugs to sleep. If I was in a 3* hotel I would expect it but this hotel classes itself as luxury. Road: very busy road between the rooms and pool area. Beach & water: not sure what’s going on but the sand in the cove by hotel is black and like an inch of silt that you sink into. You need to go about 500m down the beach to get to some nice water. Rooms location: some are very bad (see photo). We got moved with no issue but if they couldn’t switch I would have been distraught at the room I was given. 120 overlooks a mouldy external wall and the power generator. Between that and the aircon it was like trying to sleep on runway 1 at Heathrow. Overall it leads to a compromised stay and not the luxury they advertise. I’ve stayed in 4* family resorts that do a better job in Spain.
Friendly staff, delicious restaurant en great swimmingpool / beach area
The service is what really stood out at the Outrigger especially Feen & Touey, personalised service remembering my name from the first time. Such great friendly staff made the resort feel very welcoming. The grounds were all very well kept, the pool and restaurant were across the road from the main building with all the rooms, crossing guards were very attentive to help you cross. The pools were all different depths too which is good and a waterslide for kids. Food was well presented and had Thai and Western options, breakfast buffet also had all the options. Plenty of families and kids at the resort. The main part of Lamai town is about 10-15 min walk away but there are plenty of massage and 7Eleven on either of the hotel. I didn’t swim in the beach at the front of the resort, it seemed to look nicer a bit further down closer to central Lamai. On the last night they had a singers and a fire show which was great.
We had a brilliant weeks stay - the hotel is a beautiful, colonnial style hotel, with excellent rooms and beautifully appointed and decorated and excellent aircon. Minor point but we were on ground floor looking outwards at the back, but we wished we had internal facing ones with a balcony overlooking the 'internal' but outside pool. This internal pool was a nice touch, very picturesque and you could eat breakfast overlooking it.
The main pool and restaurant area is over the main road, however they have men to help you cross so it isn't too much of a hassle. You just need to remember to take everything you need as it isn't onsite. There is a good games room with pool tables and aircon!
The food was great and cocktails lovely. We did all-inclusive - as my daughter has an egg allergy so we weren't sure what eating out would be like - and they were great and very attentive. They got to know us too so we didn't need to show the AI cards everytime. Tommy was fab. The buffet breakfast also very comprehensive with omelette/ egg stations.
The beach and sand when we were there weren't amazing, we didn't swim in the sea instead stayed by the pools. There is a great little massage place on the little island next to the hotel which we visited twice.
We did a few trips, Overlap Stone and the waterfalls which were good. We did Pig Island but it was a bit over crowded and touristy, plus a bit dirty if you dont like pigs! But the long-tail boat was great. We visited Fishermans Village market one night by Grab taxi (about 25 mins) but worth it.
I would recommend and go back!
