Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

The room size was just right, and it was cleaned quite frequently. We were right across from the Michelin-starred restaurant, treetpos. I felt the value for money was average, and it didn't have much of a Thai flavor. We ordered dinner, and it met expectations.

Excellent stay! The service and environment were great. The little balcony was so comfortable, and breakfast was good too. It was a pleasant surprise to make a wish in the room! Super heartwarming and comfortable trip. The environment was also very private.

This hotel is probably not a 5-star, more like a good 4-star. The rooms are interestingly decorated and feature a spacious, comfortable terrace. The room has everything you could need, from an iron to umbrellas. There's a capsule coffee machine, milk, and complimentary fruit. The towels and bathrobes are spotless white, and champagne flutes are provided. The terrace has a very comfortable sofa and a fan, and even candles for a romantic evening. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. There are plenty of sun loungers, and the service is excellent. Breakfasts are superb! There's absolutely everything you could want. Lots of vegetables, fruits, and they bake wonderful pancakes and waffles. Downsides: The most disappointing aspect is the beach. In June, swimming is impossible as the water is only knee-deep and unsightly dark green coral is visible. We didn't even bother renting paddleboards. The prices at the on-site restaurants are significantly inflated. The hotel is located on a hill, making it difficult to get around in the heat. The nearest shop is a 15-minute walk away. Housekeeping: Upon check-in, we noticed stains on the floor. While there's no wet cleaning during your stay, a more thorough cleaning between guests should be mandatory. The bathtub also didn't inspire confidence; we didn't dare fill it due to visible streaks. Housekeeping comes twice a day, but they sometimes forgot to restock certain toiletries. Also, guests with infants or elderly individuals might find it less comfortable due to the many stairs.

The hotel's environment is great, and the staff are very polite and always greet you. The shuttle service is also very good. However, conditions on the island are limited, so there were some insects and the water quality wasn't the best.

The room space is a bit small in the accommodation area, but this might vary depending on the room type. The beach view is absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise. Breakfast is plentiful and the staff are very welcoming. It's a great place to start a vacation, immediately putting you in a relaxed holiday mood. Transportation near the hotel is very convenient; it's easy to get a taxi to more bustling areas for sightseeing and dining.

The room was excellent, very clean, and the air conditioning was super strong. All the hotel staff I encountered were great and helpful with any requests. Highly recommended, I'd definitely come back in the future. Treetops (restaurant) was also very good, and the food was delicious. Though it was 8 courses, and I was already full by the main course, you could still tell the ingredients were of good quality.
