Marina Beach Resort

Great location Quiet

Bed was extremely hard Air conditioning worked but never got cold enough to be comfortable

The Hotel is literally less than a minute to the beach where there are lounge chairs and umbrellas set up for your use. TT at the front desk was extremely welcoming and helpful, rooms were cleaned daily. The room had a balcony with chairs and a table. As a solo traveller I felt very comfortable. Literally everything you need, laundry, food (some of the best food in Samui) fun was within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel. It is a hidden gem. I will go back.

The location, a 5 minute easy walk to the beach is really good. I had a little terrace, which was nice.

The rooms in the main hotel (not the cabins) are very dark and out-dated, but reasonable for the price I paid.

Location. Great air con.

The bar wasn’t open

The location in Lamai was excellent. It is close to good restaurants, shops and has easy beach access. The beach was also very clean and they cleaned the pool daily. We booked 2 rooms and the one room was in the reception wing and the other in an adjacent wing. Both were nice. The water pressure in block C was not very strong but that did not bother us. It was great that there were kettles and bar fridges. The cleaning ladies folded our towels differently every day with a hibiscus flower. Such a nice touch. The wardrobes were large which is another bonus for me. Although other reviews stated the bad condition that the pool and beach lounges were, we found that it was okay. It will be great if the hotel replaces that. Communication with the receptionist was very effective. Their working hours are from 08:00 to 17:00. We booked in just before 17:00 and the lady was very friendly.

If you want to have a quiet island experience that will not be the hotel for you. My reason is that there are lots of shops around the premises. It is really a busy street. We did not hear the cars though. It might be difficult for elderly people to carry their bags 2 or 3 flights up if their room is on the 3rd floor.

Direct access to the beach and ocean! The hotel is just next to the town center and all the activities.

The room was quite worn. The interior is really specific (old style). The bathroom was not great. There was some smell from the outside (back of the house).

Fantastic value for a clean room with a pool on the beach with great restaurant next door.

Bed was too hard and no bedside lamp or ambient light. Only bright ceiling lights.

Nice large bungalow clean and good air on with a huge fridge also

We liked the hotel's central location in Lamai Beach. You can reach Grandmother's and Grandfather's Rock with a short walk alongside the beach and enjoy further walk to Lamai Viewpont with a cable car and restaurant with spectacular coastal views. We liked the seclusion from the main street and quietness at night. On rainy days we appreciated the closeness of the restaurant, where we could have breakfast and buy some buns without getting wet.Hotel has the private beach access and free sunbeds/umbrellas what is a bonus. Rooms have big verandas with a table and 2 armchairs and balcony windows mosquito nets. A bungalow is spacious enough for 2 persons. You get 1 water bottle per person for free every day. Cleaning personnel is smiley, kind and does the job excellently and the receptionist is very responsive and communicative.We were able to park our rental car inside the property, what was very helpful as parking in the main street is almost impossible.

There is a noisy refurbishment work on one of bungalows from 9 am-6 pm, but for guest active during the day it is not a big problem. A hotel beach bar was not open.

Great location, very comfy bed and pillows.

Rooms a bit dated but great for the money.

This was my 4th visit to Marina Beach resort, I love it there, right on the beach and close to the nightlife too. Always happy to stay there when I'm in Lamai.

The location is great right on the beach and a short walk to the bars and restaurants. Staff are very friendly and the room and balcony are a good size.

The bed was very hard it was like sleeping on a slab of concrete.

Location was excellentAmenities were good No onsite restaurant, breakfast or food outlet was a bit of a drawback

No onsite restaurant, breakfast or food outlet was a bit of a drawbackLimited front desk hours, only manned until 5pm was also a drawback

Whilst a bit tired, the rooms are clean comfortable and have an outdoor space to sit. Location is within walking distance to restaurants, beach bars, atm, laundry and mini mart. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Staff went out of there way to help you nothing was to much to ask for

No lift to carry suitcases up two flights of stairs hard for a female

It was a great place to stay 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes from the bars and restaurants My room was spotless every day and the staff were wonderful

Great location, near the beach. And also next to the main Lamai street, with all attractions. Free parking for bikes.

Air condition not very powerful, but it is ok, since it can work when you out.Very few power outlets in the room.

Close to beachClose to restaurants and nightlife

Mouldy smell in room most likely due to a leaking pipe coming from the aircon unit

Great location at beach. Stayed in hotel section (cheaper) near street but all good and access to all facilities at resort eg. umbrellas, pools etc. highly recommended

Right by the beach, and very quiet with no loud bars nearby.

The property needed more sunloungers, there weren't enough and some were quite broken. There wasn't any policing of the 'no towels' on sun lounger policy so even in early morning most were occupied by invisible people on their towels!
