Travelled to Ko Samui as a group of friends and family for 5 days and we had the best time at Anantara Lawana. From the moment we stepped in, Khun Arthur and Khun Baimon introduced the resort to us and assisted with the check-in process. As we had a family member celebrating her birthday, the resort was so kind to prepare a sweet message and cake for her, together with a token during our departure. Throughout our stay, everyone was so polite and friendly, greeting all guests they see. The team at breakfast service (Khun Mint, Khun Pla, Khun Pop, Khun Benz and many more members whose names we couldn’t get) was very attentive and accommodating, even preparing a larger table for us everyday after realising we were a group. During our stay, we also got to enjoy the many facilities and activities organised by the resort, such as the gorgeous pool overlooking the sea, the private beach, kayak rental, beach tennis rental, muay thai class, live music at Sandal lounge, traditional thai dance for the end of day ritual and even a mesmerising fire show. Resort buggy service, turndown service and bubble baths were such luxury, and we truly enjoyed our interactions with all our buggy drivers and housekeeping team. This has been the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation for all of us, and we deeply appreciate the Thai hospitality we were shown. Thank you to all the staff at Anantara Lawana who made this experience truly memorable. We cannot wait to visit again!

Glad for the very early check in. That allow me to rest it was very appreciated. Even my stay was short I enjoyed the room and the location of the resort
Facilities all look nice and service staff smiling and available to help.
Only negative point quality of breakfast below standard. Many point to improve from buffet set up and a la carte dishes presentation.
Response from Property: Dear Edoardo,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to know you appreciated the early check-in and that our team made your short stay enjoyable.

Facilities: The facilities are quite new. Standard rooms are indeed a bit small, but the balcony is a nice touch. The bathtub is impressively large, though it does take some time to fill. The rustic cabins, however, have only average soundproofing.
Cleanliness: Housekeeping is very thorough, with service twice a day. The complimentary bottled water in the room is excellent – truly the best on the island.
Environment: Mosquito control is excellent; we barely encountered any, a stark contrast to the shops right outside the hotel. The beach sand is very fine and feels wonderful underfoot.
Service: The management is clearly very professional and well-structured. Staff members are all very discreet and courteous, making us feel secure and at ease. After we mentioned our anniversary beforehand, they showed thoughtful attention to it throughout our stay.
Dining: Breakfast was rather average. However, the Thai food at Cay is delicious, and dinner at Tree Tops comes highly recommended. The waitress, Aye, was delightful. A special shout-out to the bartender at Singing Bird next door; he's fantastic and definitely deserves a bonus!

We had a fantastic stay at Anantara Lawana, staying 10 nights. Room was incredible, service impeccable and wine tasting with Emma topped off the stay. This is a proper 5 star hotel who know how to treat their guests. Beware of the town centre has potential to turn into a scence from the Hang Over 😂😂. Overall, we will be back next year at the Anantara Lawana and tasting more wine with Emma!

This hotel is in desperate need of renovation. Everything is very old and worn out. The hotel is kept just above the minimum acceptable level to keep it open at all. The current standard is not enough for any hotel, and certainly not a so called five star hotel. Close it for a few years and renovate. The photos show a few examples and there is no excuse not to fix this kind of things that are very cheap and easy to fix - this what you can expect throughout this resort
Response from Property: We are deeply sorry to learn that you feel that the resort did not match your expectations. Although the images seem to depict the resort's gym, we lack information regarding the specific timeframe of these pictures. While the gym floor undergoes routine cleaning multiple times daily, the observed wear and tear on the top of the towel counter is slated for replacement as part of our continuous resort maintenance efforts. It is crucial to emphasize that the resort is committed to strict adherence to all local regulations. While we genuinely value and respect your personal opinion, we must express our respectful disagreement with the assertions made in your statement. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention, and we remain dedicated to enhancing the overall experience for our valued guests.We are pleased to assume that, aside from the issues mentioned, the service provided by all team members met your expectations fully. This aligns with the positive feedback received in other recent reviews over the past 30 days, such as:-Super nice stay |-Great. Recommendation!! |-Beautiful resort! Really recommended |-Beautiful resort! Great care |-perfect stay |-Beautiful can’t wait to come back |-Paradise Found |-It is worth it every penny |-10/10 - very nice resort with an outstanding staff! |-Warm hospitality and energetic class |-Best hotel ever |-Amazing resort |While we continuously innovate and upgrade our resort and service offerings, we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you back, ready to craft more personalized moments that will leave a lasting impression.

Absolutely adore this place and my heart is still left at Anantara! First time in Koh Samui and the staff at Anantara made everything like heaven. Stayed here for 5nights and didn’t explore much of the island cuz you can just have fun here for a chilling vacation. Breakfast was absolutely divine and varied everyday. The pool was beautiful right in front of the beach. You MUST try the cocktails they have at the pool bar. Absolute delicious. Also the TREE Top bar has beautifully delicious cocktails. The resort is also quite close by the market and “clubby” area so the location is great as well! I’m sure there are other beautiful and lovely resorts on KS but this place I would definitely want come back to. The villas are so nicely prepped everyday and cleaned well.

Absolutely amazing breakfast and pool area.
Even the Villa was pretty nice with the swing.
The staff at check-in was a bit straight and although we came at 1:30pm, they told us, they couldn’t check us in before 2pm. … strange!
The rest of the staff was very helpful, friendly and caring.

This was my tenth visit to Koh Samui, and I can't help but wonder why I didn't stay at Anantara sooner! First, the service was absolutely fantastic, making us feel right at home. A special thank you to Khai, the beach attendant, and Pla, the restaurant staff. Their genuine hospitality made every day a joy. Secondly, the beach, which we'd been most worried about before arriving, was generally a bit irritating, but it wasn't that bad. It was much cleaner and quieter than nearby Jarman Beach, and there were plenty of reefs perfect for snorkeling—a pleasant surprise! Finally, the hotel environment. The room was the neatest I've ever stayed at a hotel in so many years, and even someone like me, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, felt incredibly comfortable! Anantara isn't far from the center; a Toto taxi for our family of three cost 200 THB and it took ten minutes. It's also quieter and more private. The only downside is that there's no supermarket right outside, and the nearest 7-Eleven is a 15-minute walk. The outdoor breakfast table was infested with bugs, so I hope they'll keep it clean. Overall, I highly recommend staying at Anantara, and I'd definitely choose it again when I return to Koh Samui.
