Bari Lamai Resort

It is in the quiet location on the beach

It used to be good hotel but now it is in urgent need for renovation. Rooms are with the mattress on the floor and they are extremely uncomfortable! There are no towels at the pool and view onto hotel buildings from the pool is terrible as buildings are in bad shape. We booked hotel because it is pet friendly (we have very small dog) and we had to pay extra for the dog, what I don mind. They gave us a room where dogs can be, saying that we cant get the room from the picture of my booking as this rooms are not for dogs. Other day I saw Thai family in that room. I was disgusted how we were treated! Everything you read about hotel is one big miss leading! It is way overpriced for the quality!!! Breakfast is 2 on the scale 1-10. Just few things to choose from, and the price of breakfast is like 5 stars hotel where cook is cooking in front of you. I was forced to book this hotel because all good international hotel chains don’t accept dogs. We had room for 4 night’s, but afer 3 nights I left, and this says all!!! I didn’t bother to claim refund or complain as Thai people play dumb when is something like this going on. I can’t recommend this hotel at all. One of the worst places I have been, and I do travel a lot and I do stay all category of hotels, mainly 4-5 stars, but I don’t mind cheap and clean place, and this hotel is everything in opposite!!

- Great staff- Great beach location with the sound of the sea in the room - Accepted our dog and gave us the end room with a small garden area which was perfect - Large, spacious room- Lovely pool

- Needs some maintenance in some places - Breakfast was just ok - Public playing incredibly loud music from their cars until late into the night right next door - Very expensive for what it is but mostly paying for seats view

Good bed, water was hot and pressure good. The room was a two-level room, it was a pleasant surprise. The view of the sea right next door was spectacular and the sound of the waves was restful to hear. From here it was also easy to go to Koh Samet for a day tour.

Great location right on the beach. Breakfast great and brought to our room. Staff very helpful.

The hotel was very nice. Staff was helpful and attenteive. Room was spacious and bathroom ok. The bed was ok, too. The restaurant was quite good, offered delicious dishes at rather reasonable price for a hotel (normally they charge more in hotels). Overall, I was happy with this hotel.

Nothing in particular although my husband complained a little about climbing up to bed which was more like a futon than bed. And also there was not much light during the night so couldn't read much. Another down side is there are children in the pools almost all the time so if you really want to have quiet atmosphere, you might be disappointed :-)

The overall design of the hotel is nice and the location beach front is also worth it.

Breakfast selection could be improved as well as the staff ability to speak English. The beach facing the hotel does not have any sun-beds and umbrellas. Even arranging a taxi was not as smooth as expected. At times during the day, depending on the wind, there was a strong unpleasant smell of the nearby sewage canal ruining the whole beach-sea atmosphere.
