Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

Jean Choong

Booked a pool suite with GHA platinum status, with prior knowledge during booking that i was entitled to upgrade upon availability, to Pool Access Room. However during check in, I was informed that the highest category of upgrade was to the pool suite from a garden suite, so i was unable to be offered further upgrades as i have already booked the same category. Not a major issue but communication could have been better. Overall stay was ok. Staff were friendly and polite throughout the resort areas including front desk, dining restaurant, housekeeping team. The resort and room were clean and housekeeping was great. Pool cleaning was done once during my stay of 4nights. On request buggy service was available throughout the resort, which was a very nice touch to get around the resort considering the hot weather. Food in the restaurant were a hit or miss, some were ok but some not. For eg, in room dining, I ordered crispy Buffalo wings, it came cold and certainly not crispy and soaked in oil. Breakfast was attentive and sufficient spread. The Bed was not the best for 5* resort, pillows were flat and uncomfortable to sleep on. The old shower heads need a change too. The installed bidet fell out of the installation during end of our stay. Toilet paper could be of a better quality too.. Overall a pleasant stay, but can be better considering that the resort is 5* but a little lacking comparing to other brands.

A very good hotel, with excellent service and very helpful staff. The rooms with private pools are very cosy. The large infinity pool is very suggestive. Kayaks are available for a tour around the small neighbouring island. The breakfast buffet is excellent and each day there are a few variations of products. Next to the hotel there are small shops, restaurants and massage salons where you can discover a little more of the island.

We spent the most relaxing week here and even extended our stay. The beach and pool area was better than I expected, also great for kids. As the beach is private, it felt safe to leave things and the great attentativw pool staff always took great care of you (special thanks to Khai!) Loved the breakfast, great variety, good coffee and also ability to order off the menu - all with a fab view. The rooms are big and with everything we needed for a comfertable stay with a little one. The location was great!! A bit outside the main busy streets (only a short cheap taxi away) but still with walkable (within 2-5min) local Thai restaurants and massage places. Would highly recommend! With the gorgeous facilities and great service from all staff - I felt this was good value for what we paid.

Just about 5 starts but a really lovely trip overall. Excellent location at its own little stretch of beach. Beautiful and serene lobby area, lovely foliage throughout the extensive property. The main infinity pool is excellent and a lovely place to hang out. As are the beach restaurants and bars, which have a calm vibe overall. A decent number of families, which makes things nice and lively. Breakfast superb. Service really great. Gym excellent. Small deductions for our dark room (not sure why they were to stingy with windows) and because the sea was “closed” 3 out of our 5 days because a jellyfish sighting.

Anantara Lawana offers an incredible experience in a vast and beautifully designed setting. For those who may find it challenging to explore on foot, the friendly staff is always ready to assist—don’t hesitate to request a buggy for convenience. Special appreciation goes to Ms. Eye at reception and everyone who made our stay in Room 115 truly unforgettable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this visit so memorable.
