Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

Anantara Lawana is an absolutely beautiful resort. We were in their most basic rooms- which at far from basic!! The rooms were beautiful and had all the facilities that you could ever need. The hotel restaurants were a bit pricey for us so we ate out most evenings. But we shared many delicious lunches at the Beachfront bar made so much better by the staff- Joy and her amazing team were just brilliant- nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were professional but caring and contributed to making it such a memorable family holiday. For all their carefully thought out advice, I give a special shout out to Helen and Aff on the front desk. The speed boat trip we booked via them to the National Marine Park is a day I will never forget, a company called Oceana Samui I think. (It was the boat for a maximum of 14 people and the crew knew how to dodge the crowds so it felt like a private trip.) We also stayed at Anantara Riverside Bangkok and Chang Mai and would not hestitate to stay with Anantara again- they really are first class. Happy holidays Louise

This hotel is my first choice for staying on KohSamui. It is extremely friendly, the food is very good.

This is a snug property close to the airport but away from the crowds. With a mix of rooms and suites with pvt pools, it gives you perfect seclusion for family time. Facilities are nice but the staff at all touchpoints are super efficient and friendly.

My family and I stayed here for a week. If you don’t want to stay in a place where you feel welcome, where you feel like family, and your face will actually hurt from having a constant smile, then this is not the place for you. I was amazed at the amount of attention each staff member provides you. My son got Bangkok Belly from Bangkok (not from this resort!) and the pampering and care for him were out of this world. The daily breakfasts are top notch. The pool was warm and inviting. The level of comfort in the rooms was out of this world. (They even have a pillow menu!) Every staff member treats you like royalty and even gets to know your name! We even got to know the manager, William. How many places do you actually get to know the manager? I have no hesitations recommending this place and can’t wait to return.

We came for a seafood dinner and it was delicious and fresh. We had multiple cocktails which were well made and so tasty. Our servers, Joy and Pukpik were such good hosts, super friendly and attentive and really made our dinner memorable. Thank you 🍺
