New Lapaz Villa

Anette said, "The hotell was ok."

Roger said, "My wife & I said, "We liked the hotel very much...ON THE PICTURES!The beach is not that wide (during tide there wasn t even enough beach to walk on). But we really liked the location. It s calm and nice and the sea is gorgeous. The staff on the other hand (especially the grumpy reception ladies) treated us like shit. Probably this was cause we (two backpackers) didn t want to spend as much money as some other customers. The food is ridiculously overprized and i can just recommend the thai restaurant about 3 minutes down the beach (looking out on the sea just walk left and over the dangerous-looking bridge...there you are, very kind personell and great cheap food till 11oclock at night)The hotel didn t even offer us a mosquitonet. By the way, the hotel seems to be some kind of hotspot for upper-middle-class austrians and russians which are by the way not really the most adorable tourists to live next to...but anyway...we liked our stay.Two hints for people who are afraid of spiders and/or dogs. The road which connects the main road with newlapaz is crowded with spiders. They hang about 12 feet in the air and are about 5 inches in diameter...so you probably prefer the road left to it (left if you look in direction of the sea)...this road is absolutely spiderfree...but i wouldn t recommend to walk it after dusk, cause it is crowded with dogs and at night they kinda rule the street ;)...anyway...don t dare going to maenam beach...it s even worse!! (replace spiders, dogs and grumpy personnell with hookers, hookers and loud tekknobeats and you get the impression...)"

Anne said, "really enjoyed our stay at new lapaz villa, very friendly staff who made our stay very special. very helpful in every way!"

Peter said, "The Resort itself is located at a beautiful, quiet beach, normally ideal for people searching for recreation and stillness, but Bungalows are quite simple and not very clean. The owner didnt tell me before that they will renovate the pool during my stay. So i had to stand the noise of a working area. She was unfriendly, not helpful and not willing to give a discount or an excuse for that inconvenience. Breakfast and Dinner at the restaurant is not to recommend. For that price you would find a better place in the neighbourhood."

Manfred said, "Nice bungalows, a bit run down but very nice garden/view. New Lapaz has a small swimming pool, not for swimming but to cool down. There seem to live some long term residents, who behave a little bit strange (reckless to other guests)."

Meggers said, "The hotel is nice - however it could use a little makeover - some parts of the beaches are quite dirty. We the food quality is good. However, it is hard to reach places from the hotel´- you cannot walk along the beach to Maenam without crossing deep water. You need to have a moped to get anywhere you want. There is internet available for 1,5 Baht/minute. The hotel is family runned and the whole family is hanging out at the hotel all the time. For the price you might find better deals in low season."

Lutz said, "We was very happy with New Lapaz, the bungalows weren´t luxurious but they were nice enough and clean - the service was great as well. Good location, right on the beach but you need to have a moped or taxi to get anywhere you want."

Franz said, "service fantastic !there to meet us at there airport and there to take us back in the early hours after travelling the islands.food beautiful and service to match will visit again on my travels thanks !!!!!!"

Sally said, "This is a lovely quiet location on Koh Samui to stay. The restaurant overlooks the beach and is very pleasant. The bungalows are very basic, but sufficient for us as we spent a lot of time out. We did move after five days as it was a little too quiet for us. New Lapaz is off the main road about 5 mins walk, which I felt made it a little too remote for us, but ideal for quiet holiday seekers. Good restaurant, nice pool and friendly staff."
