What a Wonderful Stay!
I stayed at Anantara Lawana for the first time and was very happy for everything.
The property is large and spacious, with lots of greenery along the internal mini street.
The room is spacious and beautiful, with the style of traditional village of bird keeper. I like the idea that they have different theme in each room type.
Thanks to Front Office team for such a nice welcome, the cotton bracelet is very astonishing.
I would like to thank Fruit, Rida, Nammon, Aff, Joy, Kevin, Romi, and all whom I could not recognize for all of the smiles you had.
Special thanks to the housekeeping on my last night, not sure if Tik or Nam, for folding my clothes and nicely prepared for me. I could pack them easily to my suitcase!
The breakfast is the highlight. I love the AC area where you can see the beach.
I will definitely come back!

We had a delightful time together in Anantara Lawana. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Room was lovely with a modern and fresh atmosphere but still very traditional Thai style. We were always satisfied with the quality of the service that was provided at our every request. Restaurants are nice and the breakfast is good with a vast selection of dishes. Some you can also order a la carte. They also have a beautiful restaurant called Tree Top - it’s a gastronomic restaurant, perfect for a dinner for 2. Overall very happy.

Hotel can do more to improve the quality of the food at that dinner venues but with so many nearby restaurants there was never a shortage of dining options. Special thanks to Joy from the reception who took amazing care of us and who made our stay very special. The hotel also went out of the way to take care of us and arranged free transportation to a nearby clinic when one of us required medical assistance.

Just Unique

Unique place, wonderful room with perfect bed and pool, great breakfasts and first of all anytime smiling and pleasant staff.
Definitely overrated and not the best

Not among the best resorts of Thailand.
I've been to Thailand at least 10 times and used to high standards by being customer of Banyan Tree, Conrad (talking about other names from Samui), Rita Carlton and many others...
I personally had high expectations before arriving.
Positive points:
The design of the hotel and comfort of the room .

Not among the best resorts of Thailand.
I've been to Thailand at least 10 times and used to high standards by being customer of Banyan Tree, Conrad (talking about other names from Samui), Rita Carlton and many others...
I personally had high expectations before arriving.
Positive points:
The design of the hotel and comfort of the room .
Great quality of the products at the breakfast.
Negative points:
- had to change the TV as ours didn't work
- super noisy hotel. One of our friends had to switch rooms.
- super noisy pool. It's clearly written no jumping but who cares... I even complained but no reaction... groups of families shouting on the pool...
- pool: so many uneducated people booking their sunbeds before going to the breakfast... I felt like in a cheap club in Costa brava...
- breakfast: they were usually fast at bringing food from the menu but I don't know why, to get coffees, we had to ask every morning 3 times.
- housekeeping: I can't believe that the cleaning is not usually done before noon...
- crab restaurant: food is not fantastic. At the beginning, we thought we were too picky but the day after by going to the restaurant of the Centara Reserve, we realised there was a gap in terms of food quality.
- the shop of the hotel. It's nice but they just don't have anyone working there. If you need something, you have to ask s9meone from the reception. And if you wanna try a shirt, you take it and bring it to the gym to see if it's fits you.
The staff is trying to send to you the Anantara Bophut to get a meeting with a real estate agent... asking once is fine but the girls asked me again when I started to complain at the front office she told me to go to the other anantara bophut to chill and see the villas to buy... that's a great feeling of being listened by someone.
- Last night, I ordered a room service and during the call, I told them to make sure that the bill would immediately be added on my main bill as I wanted to proceed with my checkout while waiting for the food. I was clear enough and of course it hasn't been done... so I was passed to repeat myself again at the reception.
When the good arrived, I wanted a table to eat and the guy told me they didn't have any foldable table or couldn't bring me a table to have my dinner... it was pouring outside and windy and there's no table in the room to eat... first time that I m facing this situation in a hotel.
People are kind like everywhere in Thailand but if your having real high expectations, Anantara Lawana is not the place.
The beach of the hotel is small and has lots of rocks. But in any case, this is not the fault of the hotel.
For me, it's too many details not linked to a top 5 star hotel.
