Lamai Holidays from NZ$2,699

A surprising small resort with huge rooms. I needed only a stopover before heading out of the ferry the next day. This was much more than I needed as a solo traveler but for the price you can’t beat it. Only a 10 or 15 minute drive from the Nathan Pier.

We stayed here in April with our two teenage daughters. Our accommodation was one of the Two Bedroom Pool Villas which was lovely and very spacious and had its own pool. The only thing that let this style of villa down was that they are located next to a busy road with traffic going all night. We are not used to this noise and so found it difficult to sleep. We did let the reception know this and they offered to move us to a different style of accommodation away from the road for a couple of nights but then we would have had to move back for our last night. The staff here were all very friendly, especially the restaurant staff and the buffet breakfast was great. The hotel offers free shuttles to Lamai twice a day and also a shuttle to Chaweng once a day which was great to be able to use. There is also a small supermarket located an easy walk away. Apart from the road noise we enjoyed our stay here.
