A perfect spot to relax and unwind

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday experience at Le Meridien Koh Samui. Although the hotel is small compared to Le Meridien at Phuket, the staff made up for it with their excellent and attentive service. The hotel also had a good vibe around breakfast and during the day. It was relatively quiet in the evening which we enjoyed. Our aim was to relax by the pool and wind down and that we did! We had such a lovely night drinking wine on the pier and taking in the serenity that Lamai offers. Although the beach doesn't compare to other locations, the view from the poolside lounges was still a picture of tropical oasis. I had a wonderful experience in Le Spa over 2 days with a signature massage, reflexology and pedicure. We read reviews that the buffet breakfast wasn't very big however, we experienced plenty of variety during our stay. Our room was well maintained on a daily basis. We didn't venture out often, but when we did, it was lovely to return to Le Meridien. It was a very comfortable hotel.
