Thai House Beach Resort - Hotel Reviews

Pros: 1.Reception staff who greet you like a friend every time you pass through. 2.Restaurant staff who can t do enough to ensure you are being well looked after in their spotlessly clean (NO FLIES) restaurant. 3.Great breakfast selection daily, which is kept covered, fresh and hot. 3.Evening beach dining by candlelight. (We ve been married nearly 25yrs and even we felt the romance of the setting. 4.Little wicker baskets in the room containing the beach towels and umbrellas in the wardrobe - it s the little things that count! Cons: 1.Our room was clean but basic and the bathroom was a little tired. (But neither were horrible). 2.The balcony faced straight onto a banana tree which blocked ALL further views. 3.The street to the side of the hotel is where the rain water washes onto the beach - bringing all the rubbish from the street with it. Although to be honest it didn t seem to spoil anyone s enjoyment of the beach. 4.When checking out we were charged for items we had already paid for and stuff we hadn t had. But for the sake of just a few 100 baht we didn t let this spoil our view of the hotel and it s staff. Overall: We stayed here a week and then moved to the Aloha, at the other end of Lamai beach, for our second week. Thai House Beach Resort was by far the better hotel of the two. Even though the Aloha had great views from the balcony and far larger and more modern rooms, THB Resort leaves it standing in terms of customer service, cleanliness in the eating areas, the little extras that make your holiday special. I d fully recommend the Thai House Beach Resort. We walked off our breakfast each day by strolling along the beach to the rocks (1 mile?) where there is little bar (THE BLACK PEARL BEACH BAR) where you can sit all day with probably the BEST view on the beach, sipping cool drinks and watching the world go by - who needs a balcony??. ENJOY YOURSELF

hotel position great for town (laundry 10mtrs away)staff very helpful @ friendly,ASK if you want kettel/tea-coffe equipment.food good rooms ok but beds hard.pool fine not to many loungers,if hotel busy then they are in demand

Excellent location, friendly staff. Rooms small with insufficient storage but villas fantastic. Overall a great hotel and highly recommended. 

What a lovely hotel, we went there for our honeymoon and the staff and facilities were absolutely brilliant. It was our first time in Thailand and I would definately go back and I thoroughly recommend the Thai House to everyone. We stayed in a villa and it was really cute. The customer service was excellent. The food was excellent too and we had a great time at the beach barbeque.

Absolutly great hotel with friendly employee, nice pool, great beach and the beach villas are really superb. Anyway, Lamai is the best spot on Ko Samui

ad hotel: The first room offered was right next to a very active building site. After the first night and early wake up, I went complaining. Hotel management offered us a free upgrade and we were able to stay at a very nice room on the top floor for the rest of the week. The hotel itself is very clean and most of the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is good, but mandatory and too expensive. The whole hotel seems a little expensive, but is reliable in terms of safety and cleanliness. After checkout the hotel desk manager accused us of stealing a bath robe, he even ordered his personell to open our suitcases and asked for 2000 TB as compensation. Since we did not take one of the lousy bath robes, this incident caused some unneccessary stress and annoyance at the blame of the hotel. In overall, and also because of this last incident I would definitely not book this place again. ad beach: is nice, but the hotel section seems a bit small. too manny annoying merchants do not leave much room for relaxing at the beach.

Stayed for a week at this hotel and loved it. The rooms were a good size with a nice balcony and good sized bathroom. The beds may be a bit hard for some people - my daughter thought so but fine for me. There was some construction going on next door but only something on a small scale and didn t bother us. The pool was nice but sun loungers not always available because some people reserved them for long periods with their towels while not using them! A bit disappointing. However, we always found a sun lounger either on the beach or by the pool. The beach in front of the hotel is quite good and is roped off from jet skis. Not a lot of jet ski action though and when they are used they are a long way off shore. It is only a short walk - less than 100 meters to a jet ski and buoy free swimming area if it bothers you. There was a good choice for breakfast although my daughter was disappointed that maple syrup was not available. The staff were all nice - helpful and polite. Our only other complaint was there was a bit of rubbish on the beach that I thought could have been picked up on a regular basis. Great location - Lamai is a nice beach being a bit quieter than Chaweng. We were pleased we chose to stay at Lamai rather than Chaweng. Chaweng good to visit but too busy to stay there. Ate out at the hotel restaurant which was good - dinner on the beach recommended on the quilted loungers. Also nearby Utopia has great food and excellent value. Further down beach Rich Resort also very good. Liked the shopping in Lamai also. Would highly recommend this hotel and will return. 

Lovely clean hotel with excellent pool and Beach areas. All of the rooms are nicely decorated and the staff were friendly and very helpful. 

nice place with good service. a bit more tightly packed together than the pics on the website suggest but good nonetheless. i d recommend Lamai over Chaweng as it still has a bit more of a relaxed pace and island feel yet all the convenience of chaweng. rooms don t have things like tea-making facilities etc but if you ask for them they might bring them...
