    Can't think of any

    We had a pleasant stay. Beyond our (already high) expectations. We had a lovely room with a nice bed. View on the pool with our own pool beds. The friendly owner surprised us with e.g. a welcome drink, cheap (own) scooter/motor rent, wash service, taxi service, tips to visit on the island etc.

    Amaya is a beautiful gem in the Lamai area. The staff are so lovely & really look after you! Perfect location if you want a little peace & quiet away from the hustle and bustle, but short taxi drives away to get to the main areas. They also do the best iced coffees!

    Nothing. It was perfect.

    The resort was so peaceful and beautiful. The family who owns it is so nice and does everything to accommodate you. The staff are so friendly and you feel like you’re a part of their family- for example, they knew how I liked my coffee and that I wanted avocado at breakfast so they provided it. Also, the breakfast has so much variety and is amazing. Everything is so clean and the rooms are beautiful. Even though it’s not in the main area, it’s only a 5 minute drive and there’s plenty of taxis/grabs and motor bikes. Overall, the place was incredible felt like home. Will 1000% be back.

    I'd had a recent bike accident at the Ha Giang loop, and I wasn't ready to get on another bike and therefore I had to walk everywhere! The walk into town was unpleasant on dusty roads especially in the heat. You definitely need transport otherwise you will be isolated. Grabs aren't as accessible in Koh Samui as some other places. Breakfast wasn't amazing. They need to provide nicer bread for one. Instant coffee is included in price but a nicer coffee (i.e cappuccino) isn't. It would be a nice touch if it was.

    I had a beautiful ground floor room which was immaculately clean. Directly outside my room were 2 comfy sunbeds which kind of sat in the pool, which was lovely. The hotel is owned by a lovely French couple (Nancy and Jenny) who are great people. Nu also works there and she is so lovely and friendly. Very relaxing stay.

    This was the best hotel we stayied in our two weeks holiday around Thailand. It's a small hotel, with few rooms only. We had direct access to the pool, which made our stay even more pleasant. The breakfast was perfect for us. The location is in the same time far from the noisy Lamai but close enough to have access at everything you need. There is a 15 min walk from the hotel to the main Lamai road.

    Two minor points, it would be helpful to have a full length mirror and net curtains or similar on patio doors for privacy.

    We found the owners and staff to be very welcoming and friendly. Everywhere was spotless. Lovely warm pool. Lots of water, coffee, tea, biscuits & nibbles provided. Breakfast was simple but good. This complex is a little out of town centre but so easy to get taxis and the lady owner very kindly gave us a lift to another complex which was a bit away, at no charge. We would definitely stay here again, if returning to Koh Samui.

    BEST stay in Lamai especially for families.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Family Suite
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The location is about a 10 min scooter ride from Lamai center but it did not affect us as we prefer not to stay in the noisy part. The resort is on a very nice and pittoresque neighbourhood which is calm and quiet.

    Amaya is run by the warmest and friendliest french families. They take care of you like you are a close relative and have excellent sense of when to socialize and when to let you rest. We stayed there for a total of nine nights and had one of the best experiences of our lives. We have been to many high end luxury resorts and hotels in the world and we would choose a place like Amaya every time over the Ritz Carlton or Sheraton. Here you are seen and cared for in the best way. Let me give you some examples: 1. When we arrived they noticed that our kids are big (tall) and gave us the bigger family room with larger beds 2. When they noticed that I always leave the yellow of the hard boiled egg they made sure to peel and remove it for me. 3. We put out some clothes to dry and they made sure to switch the places so that they would be in the sun and dry as quickly as possible. The family makes the difference here but the facilities and food are also 10 out of 10. Breakfast was excellent, freshly baked bread of different varieties including some more healthy options plus baguette etc. Different kinds of fresh fruit, a large variety of freshly baked bakeries and fresh juice every day. On top of that the chef makes very nice omelettes any style you want. Which you can have with avocado, tomatoes, bacon and cucumber. 10 out of 10. Facilities are spotlessly clean. Fresh and modern with everything you need. Lots of storage for your clothes, fridge, safe, water cooker etc. Rooms are well designed with great care taken to make sure you have a place to put stuff and the beds are super comfortable. Shower and toilet are the same, modern and clean. All in all, we do not hesitate to recommend you to stay here. We loved it, our kids loved it and we are already thinking about coming back.

    The location is about a 10 min scooter ride from Lamai center but it did not affect us as we prefer not to stay in the noisy part. The resort is on a very nice and pittoresque neighbourhood which is calm and quiet at night and there is almost no noise from the animals or insects. The only thing I would like to see improve is to have some way to close the shower as there is no curtain. Another thing is to provide french press or brewed coffee for breakfast. You have coffee but it's not pressed.

    Nothing not to like - it’s idyllic!

    Although the location is just outside of town, this has been one of our favourite places to stay throughout our trip to Thailand. It’s nestled amongst lush greenery and so peaceful. The owners and staff were all very welcoming and made it feel like a family home away from home. We’d definitely recommend to everyone!

    The owners were great and super helpful, from the moment we arrived until our departure. They gave us a lot of useful information about the area, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. It's worth noting that the location is slightly further from the beachfront and the main streets than we had realised, so we ended up taking a few taxis to go back and forth (but that information was there when we booked).

    Fabuleux!!! 🌸🇹🇭 Little slice of heaven. Chilled vibes. The owners (family) & staff were lovely. They all go above & beyond to assist with anything they can for you. The room is spacious with excellent storage. A scooter ride away from everything on offer in Lamai. Would definitely recommend a stay at Amaya Resort 😊🥂
