Reviews from Google
We are a family of 4 and after Railay and before heading to Koh Tao we have spent 3 nights in this beautiful place in Samui. Beautiful lovely cottages in front of the North Side of Lamai Beach. This side is not the best beach part of Lamai but you can reach center and south side very easily by a 5 minutes drive or 15-30 minutes walking (depending on what part of Lamai beach you want to stay) As we have extended our stay, we had the chance to be moved to the beautiful family villa facing the sea. We have enjoyed the nice and clean pool after spending full days at the beach Just 10-15 minutes walking to Lamai center and night market. Despite being close to the main road, rooms were very quiet at night and we could not hear any noise. We have received a very warm welcome from the host that also gave us some clues on the island. Everything is like the pictures. Pearl of Samui IS a PEARL and we would definetely come back here if we’ll visit Samui again.
Great resort, rooms are amazing and staff is so friendly and helpful! Everything was so clean and organized. The pool is great and view of the ocean is nice, the one thing we wish we knew in advance was that during low tide you can’t swim directly in front of the resort on the beach you have to walk down the beach but other than that it is perfect!
I just love this place, it's well maintained and I always feel welcomed there🥰 Location is very good, it can be a bit loud at night(main street), Villas are great and I love the pool. I will definitely be your guest again - thank you guys🙏

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
