La Vida Samui

D Kalinowski

We spent 12 days in a villa and felt very, very comfortable in the modern yet beautifully designed complex. From the extensive breakfast, which offered something for every taste, to the beautifully designed pool and the loungers on the white beach, everything was perfect. The staff was always super friendly and accommodating, and the housekeeping was beyond reproach. We were able to deal with the lack of storage space in the room. The hotel offered us a great deal of peace and quiet; we could barely hear any street noise. We enjoyed a relaxed breakfast, including an egg station, on the open terrace. The only criticisms: There are no additional storage spaces in the rooms for longer stays. There is no opportunity to take a thorough shower if you leave late on your departure day. Unfortunately, the only available restrooms are in the fitness area and the shower by the pool. A late checkout was a bit expensive for us at half the room rate for 4 hours. A more accommodating approach from La Vida would have been desirable, or at least a separate shower facility. We'll definitely be back at La Vida; everything else was perfect. Many thanks to the La Vida team.

10/10 couldn’t fault it! The rooms are very nice and bed is the comfiest bed I’ve slept in in Thailand. My favourite is the sun beds go down onto the beach so you can enjoy your private beach as it is a lot more quiet than the popular beach spots!

We stayed here four nights recently and had a fantastic experience. The pool area is great and the hotel has direct beach access. Good amount of sun beds on both the beach and around the pool. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the main part of the Chaweng strip. Friendly and lovely staff.

Really nice resort close to all attractions and still quiet. Little bit overpriced for this what you get. Service unfortunately on level of 2 stars hotels. That’s pitty for place like this. Enjoying my stay but….if coming back will choose something different

We are extremely disappointed with the service at this hotel and do not recommend staying here. We booked a 3-night stay for our honeymoon over Christmas, but two of those nights were ruined due to food-related issues from the hotel restaurant. We paid extra to participate in the Christmas Eve dinner hosted by the hotel. My husband suffered from severe food poisoning after our dinner at the hotel. When we checked out, we requested a refund for the dinner, but we were told we should have reported it earlier or waited until a manager was available the following day. This was frustrating because my husband had already informed reception at 4:30 AM when he went to ask for more water. The last evening, I went to the hotel restaurant alone since my husband was still recovering. I ordered a chicken burger, only to discover several bites in that it was raw inside. I sent it back to be cooked properly, but it was still raw when it returned. While the staff did comp the meal, I had already consumed enough to become ill that night, further ruining our stay. On top of this, we encountered an issue with housekeeping. Each night, we purchased additional water bottles from the hotel bar, but the cleaning staff would remove our purchased bottles the next morning, leaving only the standard two bottles provided in the room. Overall, the lack of attention to food safety and poor customer service made our stay incredibly disappointing. I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel.
