Orchid Suites Resort

Klaus said, "Good location - about 200 meters to the beach and about 300 meters to the center of lamai with many bars and small shops. Nice and clean swimmingspool. Rooms are wodden single-bungalows. Very efficient aircondition.Breakfast is buffet. Good and enough selection. BF changes everyday - not everyday the same food.I can recommend, its my second stay now and i will come back again. Price level also very good."

Martin said, "This hotel is far from what you see on the booking site. The resort is beautifully located, but the personnel or owner has let the bungalows, pool and pool area down, by not maintain it properly. Everything is dirty, old and need of change. The bungalow was not garden view, it was more a wall view where we only saw a gray fence.The breakfast was horrible. The best part was the juice and the rest was probably made many hours ago. Personnel was bad at the english language. Asking them for fresh tea was a problem.Pool table for the guests was basically occupied all the time by the personnel.Cleaning was basically not carried out. Everything in the bungalows was sticky an the bathroom was awful - not really cleaned for maybe one year."

Barry said, "We had gone to Koh Samui for our daughters wedding a few of the guests the pool area were very well kept. Our only concern was that we felt the room required updating and was very basic. There was no bar but the staff were very friendly and helpful."

Eric said, "Nice resort, convenient for high street (whilst away from hustle & bustle), handy for nice local beach with good small bar/restaurants, simple OK breakfast. Good pool & gardens. One warning - brick paths can be slippy when wet & dangerous where steep."

Terese said, "Great view and the garden is wonderful. The bungalows are clean and the breakfast is very good. A bit off from the city but no problem if you have a scooter or like to walk. The poolarea is great! Would stay here again!"

Michelle said, "The orchid suite is in a great location right next to Lamai Beach.We loved it here, the bungalows were clean and had a fridge and balcony overlooking the nicely kept gardens and ocean.The pool was always clean and well kept,the workers were very friendly and the breakfast in the morning was good as well,the free pool table was a bonus.We came here twice and will come back again."

Jerry said, "Although I ve been to Lamai Beach numerous times, I ve never at this end of the beach area. Although there is no beach access from the Hotel, the views of the sea are great. The pool is very nice and the grounds are very well landscaped and that adds much to the atmosphere."

Hassan said, "Great.I liked almost everything there exept for the openings here and there in the room which lets insect inside.otherwise everything was super good."

Andreas said, "Breakfeast was simple, but good quality. Bathroom was not cleaned after last user, mold everywhere, did not change after I complained this, at last I cleaned bathroom myself. Sometimes breathtaking stinking from floor-siphon, at last I put a glass on top, that helped.Twin-Bed, one good, one to soft, refrigerator very loud, aircondition ok. Wonderful pool, very peaceful resort-area, walk to the beach 3 minutes."

Johan said, "This was the best stop we had during our 3 weeks in thailand. The staff were very nice and service minded. The garden and the poolarea was also nice."

Van said, "The standard of this hotel is not in accordance with its price, which is far to expensive. Quality of service is poor. Shower and bathroom in poor condition. Towels and bedsheets not clean. Never again."

Helen said, "The hotel is set away from the hustle and bustle of the strip which is very nice but a steep hill to get too the bungalows. The rooms were cleaned daily. The shower was temperamental but always hot. The pool was lovely and a short walk down a hill to the beach, which was lovely also, white sand and clear water. The breakfast was ok, fruit or eggs. Nothing spectacular. All in all a great place to stay."

Victoria said, "Excellent location, central to everything. Was the nicest bungalow we night guard to complex.Breakfast continental and variety of eggs as with many places."

Kristina said, "These are VERY simple accomodations. The bathroom is very inconvenient in that the shower is not enclosed (not unusual in Thailand), but simply situated on one of the walls. The actual performance of the shower is also not good. There is only one very small shelf in the bathroom, and noweher else to put stuff. The rest of the room is OK, but barely. The airconditioning is very loud and the bungalow we got did not look like it had been cleaned well. There was a lot of dust and dead bugs. The pool area is very nice. The staff is nice too.In general I would not recommend this place since I think you can get a better value closer to the water. There is a good reason why there are no pictures of the rooms on the website....."

Arvis said, "Resort was even better than we expected. Bungalow was OK with nice view over swimming pool to sea. It was nice to sit at the evening on balcony, drink beer and enjoy the view. We tried also night bath in the Jacuzzi and it was great. We really enjoyed the swimming pool. If you walk downhill you can reach the sea in 3 minutes. Seaside is good for swimming and water is clear. Air condition unit was working good, no any problems with water supply and toilet flush. Twice there was a power block out for one hour during night time, but probably it was not a hotel fault. Breakfast was OK, lunch we always took at another place. Very quite resort. If you like loud companies and parties you should go to another place. Resort is at the far end of the Lamai beach, but it will take only 5-10 minutes walk to the Lamai centre, where you can find enough entertainment, including Thai boxing show at Saturdays evening. For more you should go to Chaweng beach."

Polly said, "The Orchid Suites is close enough to be convenient and far enough to be quiet. The bungalows were charming, typical thai wooden constructions spacious and clean, the shower could have been better but that wouldn t stop us staying here again. The pool is a good size - great Jacuzzi and the beach is only a 2 minute walk (down hill) also you pass some ordinary thai homes on the way to the beach which made you feel that you living more amongst the Thai people. Thai boxing gym just 2 mins away which was quite interesting. The staff were friendly and helpful and the fact that breakfast is included is a bonus. The Orchid was great value for money - would definately stay again."

Michael said, "Nice spot, close to everything but away from the noise if you don t like it. The beach is 90 seconds away down the hill, the pool is great, the rooms are clean and tidy. On the downside had a tiny piece of Thai coconut candy stolen from the minibar fridge and was billed for two items not used. Maybe also nicked. A tip by any other name I guess. Nonetheless these are small things and I will return for sure."

Beatrice said, "Orchid Suites resort was absolutely the best choice according to our needs. A very nice and quiet place, beautifully situated some 50 meters above sea level, surrounded by lush vegetation and offering stunning views over the sea. It is just a 2 minutes walk down the slope to the beach. You reach Lamai center, with restaurants, shops, facilities and entertainment within a 5 minutes walk. The resort is close enough to be convenient and far enough to be quiet. The pool is large and with a lovely view. We particularly enjoyed the Jacuzzi by the poolside. It was a real treat to relax in it in the evening under the sky full of stars. Very romantic! The bungalows were charming, typical thai wooden constructions. Everything was clean and well kept. With teenagers keen on shopping, we appreciated that the bungalows had plenty of space, a large wardrobe and lots of drawers. The breakfast included in the price was very good and the service vas excellent. This place offers very good value for money and we will most certainly come back."

Kang said, "Situated on the southern end of Lamai Beach, which is rapidly developing, but still not as busy and commercialised as Chaweng, the hotel is pleasantly placed away from the busy main street with all the shops, restaurants and bars.The hotel itself is minimal. Reception is a simple open building housing the restaurant, and an old pool table and darts board. Located on a hillside, there are no grounds as such, but the pool area is adequate for sun-bathing. The pool is not the type where you can swim laps; more to cool off and relax in, approx 10m x 5m free-form. A nice feature is the outdoor jacuzzi by the pool. You get a beautiful view of the sea but not the beach.The accommodation is Thai-style teak chalets, which are charming, however, they are looking a little old and could do with renovating. Each has a small balcony with a couple of chairs and coffee table. Some have a sea-view.We had an air-con room, with fridge, safety-deposit box (which was broken), and TV, although non-Thai channels were limited to DTW (German, with occasional English news), Action 1 (sport and travelogues), and Animal Planet. Our air-con was very noisy, which kept us awake for a couple of nights until we got used to it. The shower and toilet was simple but adequate. Room cleanliness could have been better, it basically amounted to a quick sweep each day.The beach is a short 2 minute walk down the hill, the sand is grainy but reasonably clean. The sea was clean but at certain times of the day contained a brown tide of sewage and you would not want to be swimming in that! Jet-skis and kayaks can be rented, and there are some rocks for snorkelling around.Lamai itself is developing rapidly. Plenty of cheap clothes, laundry, diving, shops, restaurants, massage, bars, internet cafes, jeep/bike rental, and ATM s. Unfortunately, some of bars are rather loud and some shops and massage places a little pushy. Otherwise, Lamai is a good choice if you want all the facilities but not on the scale of Chaweng."

Anders said, "Nice and quite location in a park. Strange birds in the night. The park needed some clean up. The whole resort needed fresh up. Shower didn t work. Beds were noisy. Breakfast served in reception. Restaurang closed at 4 pm. Pool was fantastic with beautiful view over the sea. Personal nice and service minded. A nice resort that with small means could be better."

Gary said, "we have have had a fantastic time on both occassions. the resort is tucked up a private road, set in a coconut grove. the pool is enourmous, the rooms are clean and spacious with large balconies.the best thing about this resort by far is how friendly all the staff are, they really go out of their way to help!"
