July 23, 2016. Dear Anon, Thank you very much for your review of your holiday with us at Lawana Resort. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The quality of the sea is normally very clean but on some hot days some dead weeds float up although they posed no harm to swimmers but it may not be nice to look at. This problem is only temporary.

Very good - but!!
Posted 22 Oct 2015 on HotelsThe Lawana is a nice quite and relaxing place to stay. It has loads of interesting greenery and flowers throughout. There is a great pool or a gently shelving beach to choose from. I did not find my little bungalow especially comfortable. Hard, wooden and upright armchairs and cold showers are not my thing. The accomidation is not horrendous but could easily be better. The breakfast was great and food during the rest of the day is very good and quite cheap, the lunchtime "happy hour" deals are very good. Should you wish to wonder down the road to shop, at The Fishermans Village for instance, or eat out you will have to deal with a very busy, noisy, unpleasent and difficult to cross road.

July 24, 2016. Dear Andrew, Thank you very much for your comments in good details for Lawana Resort. The hard armchairs are out door and we are not able to provide cushion. We offer hot water in your shower and the bathtub and guests can mention it to any of our staff if hot water is not running properly and we will fix it right away for you. If we fail that we will immediately give guests a new room. All our promises will be honoured accordingly. Our breakfast is basic of some 24 selections, set on the sea side with full sea view . We are not a luxury resort so we will not look a 5 star hotel. The busy street is in the front with supermarkets, banks and atms and lots of local restaurants. Suwan

We of course offer the best location with the front directly on the mainstreet with shops and restaurants and supermarkets and bank and Atms, and the other end is directly on the beach of Bo Put. Since June last year of your visit, we have now upgraded our whole wifi now very strong in all the rooms and public areas. And all is free to our guests.

Good hotel
Posted 23 Apr 2015We stayed here for 1 night. This is the second time we have used this hotel as it's close to koh samui airport and reasonably priced with a pool and on the beach. The room we had was garden premier they are clean and adequate for what we wanted. The food is also fairly reasonably priced at the hotel restaurant. They also have a happy hour!

Great bungalows, well mainained and friendly staff
Posted 22 Mar 2015 on HotelsWe traveled as a family of 4 (2 kids of 11 and 13) for Christmas and New Year 2014/ 2015 and booked 2 bungalows. They gave us two in direct neighbourhood. The beach was nice, clean and very close. The pool was well maintained, enough loungers were always available. The rooms were in very good condition and clean. The beds were convenient, only one nail showed up in between the two matraces that became quite dangerous. The staff at the reception was always very friendly and helpful for booking trips. Very likely that we will come again since also the location was quite good - a lot of good restaurants (especially the Italian Pizza Restaurant in direct neighbourhood) were to find in foot-walk-distance.
Only the breakfast became a bit boring after some days since there was no change of coice at all.

A clean hotel
Posted 2 Oct 2014
Pros: It was neat and clean and tidy. It was cheap and reasonable value for money. Good beach side location. Great for a budget stay
Location: Everything is within striking distance. Taxis and busses pass the front door.
The hotel was clean and well located on a beach close to shops, restaurants and airport. Major shopping 10 minutes away by taxi. Rooms were a good size and had all facilities but are not modern. Beds and pliiows were ok only. Aircon was essential and it worked but was very noisy. Breakfast and meals at restaurant were reasonable in terms of price and food quality. A really good place to stay for backpackers and budget travellers.
Staff were eager to assist but were difficult to communicate with as I had limited knowledge of Thai language.

Overall great with minor observations
Posted 22 Jul 2014 on HotelsGreat value, great service, great setting (beautifully cared for, lush gardens) and the location (about 10 mins walk down the beach to Fisherman's Village) suited us perfectly. Free wifi which worked well most of the time. A few minor observations - the "2 for one" lunch menu is a nice idea but we didn't find it very practical as we seldom wanted two of exactly the same thing. The wooden platform our mattress was on (room 133) was pretty creaky. The airconditioning was quite noisy even though we turned the fan down to low. There are signs in reception saying that there is a computer you can use for a payment but when I asked the staff said they didn't have one any more. Fair enough, most people are on iphones these days anyway, but why not just take down the signs? The massages on offer by the team between the beach and pool were great. I had a "foot scrub" as well one day and the chemical painted on the sole of my foot actually burnt a small hole in the skin (about the size of a NZ 10 cent coin on the side of one of my feet. I have no idea why it only did this in one place, and its healing up ok so I'm not worried about it but it has put me off having any treatments involving applying products which are not properly branded. These are all minor points, I would happily go back to Lawana Resort and would definitely recommend BoPhut as a location.
