To the property manager / owner Mr. William Daguin and the team of Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, we wish to thank you for the warmest welcome and kindest hospitality all throughout our stays of 6 nights (in the first week of this August 2025). We have the pleasure of writing a review of the hotel to put our sincere evaluation herewith. Since my wife and I have been recommended to your hotel from the owner of a legendary well-known hotel in Bangkok (Khun Montien), we are truly grateful for you and your team, for having made an exceptional experience for us to enjoy our entire stays at Koh Samui. Rest assured, even without any recommendation or privilege, Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort would have been our preference, for having a Thai ambience and flair which is different from the typical foreign chain hotels belonging to ICG, Hyatt, Marriott or the like (though to be fair, depending on the needs, purpose or preference, it may be different at times). Check-in experience: It goes without saying that the check-in was smooth and very welcoming, eventhough it was a late arrival past 9pm. We had an airport transfer organized by the hotel, and was greeted by a driver, who gave us welcoming can of water, and the drive itself was comfortable all throughout the journey to the hotel. Before entering the premise of the hotel, we underwent a special ritual with three gongs to embrace the peace and harmony, good health and good fortune before entering into the walkway along a beautiful serene waterway filled with Koi fishes. It felt like a sanctuary and had a tranquil atmosphere. Nida/Rida (excuse us for the misspelling) was charming and very helpful. Another lady also warmly greeted us and offered to tie the Sai Sin on our wrists to wish us good spirit. Thank you for welcoming with your blessings. Room experience: Although my husband had booked quickly over an online agent Agoda and took the rooms which were available for different nights, fortunately, we were offered an upgrade to a pool suite, all throughout our stays, and the whole experience was of another level of surprise. The welcome in the pool, the welcome selection of tasty bite size savories and fruits in the room, and folded towel in elephant form, and leaves carved in alphabets with Welcome to Anantara. The bed and its frame, the beddings/sheets, pillows, mattress, lightings, AC temperature, flooring, bathrooms (sink, faucet, amenities, towels, slippers, bathrobes, mirror, laundry wire) lightings, and AC temperature, all was spotless and in order. For an allergic person and sensitive to mosquitoes / insects (like me), the flooring was good and the room has been kept immaculately clean. Indeed the pool suite kept the privacy, yet it was outdoor covered by wooden framed ceiling with functioning ventilator, surrounded by trees, bird of paradise flower, with sounds of birds and wind around. It was tranquil. The pool water was always clean in the morning and was at a right balmy temperature, just wonderful to dip and enjoy a quick swim any time of the day, with the swing (up to 80kg) that elevated the experience. Food and Beverage experience: The enticing breakfast buffet at the Ocean Kiss awaiting every morning was wonderful. Always greeted by the breakfast head manager Irene, and the Food & Beverage Coordinating Manager Niki, the energetic Ms. Mint, and other breakfast managing team, and the managing team of the cuisine itself! The different type of yohgurt, selection of various fruits, vegetables, even Sushi, the pastries, the cereals, the pancakes and crepes, juice, menu for type of eggs, the vegetarian Asian section with noodle soup, the Indian dishes, were all amazing. It was very tasty from the beginning to the end, and foremost very healthy. I forgot the name of the young man how he served me the Dosa, and explained about chewing the curry leaves in the morning to cleanse and keep the blood pressure low (good to know for people who have high blood pressure). The breakfast really set the good happy tone of our day. Equally the guests were international and all nice and pleasant. Food was accommodated to international guests and we have enjoyed the plenty selection on display at the breakfast buffet. Dining experience: We had the opportunity to experience the Barbecue Buffet Dinner by the beach on the Tuesday night of August 5, with guitar player and a singer and an exciting fire show. What more can Paradise be with barefoot dining by the beach with whole selection of beautiful cuisine. The succulent lobster, prawns, lamb, beef, variety of salad, and desserts, and the free flow of sparkling wine. The highlight was dining at the Treetop on August 6, a total different level of experience in a hut like tree top niche just for selected guest. The ambience, the selectivity, the privilege, the reward, just incredible! We had the ‘Embers of Earth and Ocean’ and from the beginning with the oyster Surat Thani Oyster Gratin this just nailed the trophy of the whole evening. What an innovative excellent exotic taste! Having dined at several Michelin restaurants around the world and in Relais & Chateaux, and have had oysters, this oyster Surat Thani Oyster Gratin (with Tom Yam taste) was just magical. The team of Maya, Eric and Art were so dedicated in presenting the dishes, every meal was a whole new journey to the amazing world we only discovered this time round. Speechless with multitude of gratitude. Facilities experience: What else but a beachfront pool and beach itself, so serene, clean and relaxing. The beach and pool area was also taken care very well by the staffs, and every staff was friendly, helpful and informative. I have asked about the water condition of the sea whether there were boxer jellyfish sharks and were told no, and if so, there would be already sufficient warning. Gym area was also very pleasant with equipments and machines in full order, and AC temperature kept comfortable all throughout the exercise. Overall experience: Excellent! Read less
