Great resort on Lamai Beach – Great stay on Koh Samui.
Samui Jasmine Resort is a beautiful, well-maintained resort right on Lamai Beach within walking distance to many shops, stores, pharmacies and even the Lamai Muay Thai Boxing Ring! With a Grab Taxi you are everywhere on the island within ~15-50min.
The property is in great condition and clearly cared for with attention to detail – it even has a bit of a White Lotus vibe.
The staff are fantastic and really make this resort special. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful during our entire stay.
Our Superior Double room was spacious and very comfortable, with both a shower and bathtub. It also had a large private terrace, which was perfect for relaxing.
The private beach area with sunbeds reserved for hotel guests is great. The sunbeds themselves could probably be renewed soon, but the location directly on Lamai Beach is fantastic. The pool is not very big, but perfect for a quick swim – and the sea is right there.
The pool/beach bar serves excellent cocktails and has 50% happy hour from 4–7 pm (beer not included).
A special highlight were the massages at the resort spa. We went three times and honestly had the best Thai massages we experienced in Thailand, even better than many places outside the hotel.
Breakfast was outstanding with a great mix of Thai and international dishes, juices, and even Thai milk tea. The breakfast team did a great job.
Also highly recommended is the hotel restaurant “Jasmine Rice.” The food quality was probably the best we had on Koh Samui. However, the restaurant service definitely needs improvement. While the staff are friendly, the service can be quite slow (for example waiting around 20 minutes for the menu or the bill). It’s not an issue when you have time and enjoy a dinner on the beach, However improving the speed and overall service flow would make the dining experience match the excellent food quality.
Tip: Don’t miss the massages and the cocktails during happy hour.
Overall, a fantastic Koh Samui resort with amazing staff, great food, and a beautiful location on Lamai Beach. We would definitely stay here again.
