AAnonymous UserThis place is a little piece of paradise. Away from the hustle and bustle and is quiet and calm. The beach is a few steps away. Although it’s not a swimming or tanning beach, you can make the most of your time there. I found a quiet spot on the beach and still enjoyed every second of it. The staff were all so friendly and go out of their way to help you and meet your needs. The breakfast was lovely! A variety of choices, that fill you up for the day of adventure ahead. The villa itself is large and spacious. The pool is just enough to cool off after a hot time on the beach. I will definitely be back when I’m in Samui again!

RRobinovichExcellent hotel in a fantastic location. It's just a few minutes' walk to the sea and the beach, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. The rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and always willing to help. An excellent combination of comfort and location, making it ideal for a perfect holiday. This isn't our first stay at this hotel, and it certainly won't be our last! 👍😄

GGuest UserThis became our favourite hotel in Koh Samui — and in all of Thailand. It’s absolutely stunning, with a beautiful traditional Thai vibe throughout. We especially loved the carp pond, and we were lucky enough to have it right outside our room, making it a lovely sight to enjoy each day.
The pool area is wonderful, and with the hotel located right on the beachfront, you can easily move between the pool and the sea. Neither area ever felt crowded, and we could always find a lounger. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered plenty of storage, making our stay incredibly comfortable.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful — we can’t thank them enough for making our stay so special. The location is perfect too, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, and just a short walk to the Lamai Night Market, which we highly recommend for fantastic food.
Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice, and the staff were kind enough to prepare a breakfast bag for our early morning flight. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would 100% revisit on our next trip to Koh Samui.

GGuest UserExcellent vacation at a great hotel. The sand on the beach is fine, like powder. The attentive hotel staff set up sun loungers, and there are enough for everyone. It's only 30 meters from the room to the beach. We didn't even bother with slippers. Each bungalow has its own foot wash tap. Breakfast is served by the sea. The menu varies (but it's not a buffet). There's a central store a 5-minute walk away, and a nightclub nearby.

FFrancium_psI recently spent a weekend here, and overall, I would say it was a decent experience for what we paid. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts:
Accommodations (3/5):
The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but they felt a bit outdated. The furniture and decor could use some updating, and the beds were not the most comfortable. However, the room had all the basic amenities, including a TV, mini-fridge, and a clean bathroom. It's not a luxury experience, but it was acceptable for a short stay.
Service (4/5):
The staff here were friendly and attentive. They were quick to address our needs and answer any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and the concierge was helpful in arranging activities in the area.
Amenities (3/5):
The resort has a nice pool area, which we enjoyed. However, the pool could have been cleaner, and there were limited lounge chairs available, especially during peak hours. The on-site restaurant had a decent menu, but the food was a bit on the expensive side for what you got. It would be nice to have more dining options nearby.
Location (3/5):
It is located a bit further from the main attractions in the area, so you'll need a car to get around. This could be a downside for some, but it's also quieter and away from the crowds. If you're looking for a more secluded experience, it might be a plus.
Value for Money (3/5):
The pricing at this resort is reasonable, but you get what you pay for. It's not a luxury resort, so if you're looking for a budget-friendly option, it's a decent choice.
In summary, this is a middle-of-the-road resort. It's not going to blow you away, but it's clean, the service is good, and it offers an affordable place to stay. If you're not too concerned with luxury and just need a place to sleep while exploring the area, it's worth considering.

BBokovThis isn't my first time staying at this hotel, and it has a convenient location. The breakfasts are good, and there's a pool and gym. They also offer a shuttle service. The staff are welcoming and always ready to help! There's a Supercheap right next door and a 24-hour laundromat. Several 7-Elevens are nearby. Beach access is across the road, past Seen restaurant. The new Heavens mall with Tops supermarket is also close by. The road past the hotel leads to the local Walking Street and Central Festival.

步步行 | TravellerThe positive thing about this place is that it is extremely centrally located on Chaweng beach with walking distance to the beach front and the big mall nearby, with plenty of restaurants and easy access to tours and transportation. The staffs are friendly and the house-cleaning seems to be great also.
There are some downsides, however.
1. The breakfast was extremely crowded especially in the morning with very very limited options. I once saw about dozens of people simultaneously handing tickets for the only chef at the egg station, which resulted in very long wait time (I didn't even get the food, they lost the ticket).
2. The other guests are extremely loud at all hours of the day even deep at night. The hotel should really implement a quiet hour policy.
3. There were also a lot of trash on the beach in front of the hotel and no one is bothering to pick it up. All facilities are massively over-utilized and the entire place feels crowded.
4. The room felt very old and (understandably) damp, with very poor Wifi reception. The overall Wifi reception at this hotel is poor and occasionally the Wifi is just completely down.
5. The restaurant was on the expensive side. You do have to walk a bit to find more reasonable prices (for me).

Ttj17This hotel was an okay place to stay, the bed was comfy and the location is alright. The shower pressure isn't the best and there aren't any curtains. But for the price in koh samui it is good. Picture is from central samui mall.

DDokStefPleasant Stay with Excellent Service in Chaweng
I recently stayed at Lotus Friendly Hotel in Chaweng with my wife and baby. The hotel boasts cleanliness and spaciousness, with daily room cleaning ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable information.
One of the highlights of our stay was dining at the hotel's restaurant, which offered delicious Mediterranean-style cuisine. The restaurant staff were exceptional, making our dining experience truly memorable. They were also incredibly friendly and accommodating towards our baby, which made us feel even more welcome.
The hotel's location was convenient, with a Seven Eleven and several restaurants nearby, making it easy to access essentials and dining options. Additionally, the beach was just a 2-minute walk away, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful coastline effortlessly. While the city center was a bit further, a 20-minute walk provided an opportunity to explore more of Chaweng.
The only minor downside was the noise at night, which is perhaps typical of the vibrant atmosphere in Chaweng. However, this did not significantly detract from our overall experience, as the hotel's other amenities and exceptional service more than made up for it.
Overall, I highly recommend Lotus Friendly Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Chaweng. The combination of cleanliness, spaciousness, excellent service, and convenient location makes it a top choice for travelers. We look forward to returning in the future.

GGuest UserGood morning! I'm staying at this hotel from February 2nd to February 8th. The location is simply superb! 👌 Breakfasts are standard, and there's a 7-Eleven nearby if you need coffee or sandwiches. However, the hotel itself is completely rundown!!! The bedding and towels are in terrible condition! If you appreciate comfort, then this is definitely not the place for you. All the plumbing is broken, and the water in the shower doesn't drain!
