“Peaceful Samui resort, tired fixtures”
Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort is a private, high-end hideaway praised for exceptional service, polite staff who greet every meeting, a handy shuttle, and a lovely beach whose sunrise views stand out. Rooms are comfortable and quiet with cosy balconies — a wish left in the room earned a surprise gift — breakfasts are rich, and cocktails and activities keep guests engaged, with easy transport to busier areas. Honest caveats: island conditions mean insects and mediocre tap water, and fixtures like the kettle, hair dryer and lights are worn enough to need updating; some room types feel small.
