We stayed in an ocean pool villa room 102. A bit tatty round the edges. No table and chair outside at all to sit. Lack of cupboard/drawer space. Holes in mosquito bed net. Strange seat in living area that came away from the wall and no other seat option to sit in. Baby cot provided with net, baby bath, highchair... More

Dear EOD-Jim, Thank you for your review and positive comments which are highly appreciated by all of us. It is certainly nice to see that you and your girlfriend made the effort learning a couple of Thai phrases which I can confirm is going a long way in Thailand. Thank you for that as well on behalf of my team.... More

I really REALLY wanted to make this review shorter, but I think much of this needs to be shared. I initially looked @ this place w/ a critical eye, i.e. w/ a 5 star luxury standard. In short, it missed the mark. BUT, if I start out w/ a blank slate, I came up w/ the following: Exterior: - We... More

We stayed in an Anantara Pool Villa for 6 nights in May 2011. Apart from having to escape the Anantara “time share” men at Koh Samui airport, there was nothing we didn’t like during our stay in our lovely pool villa. The staff were great, the location was good, the buildings and gardens of the hotel were beautiful and beautifully... More

I was part of a large business group that went to Anantara. There were about 40 of us and I thought any hotel would have struggled. To my amazement the Anantara team were completely in control, very friendly and totally accommodating to the whole group. Even though we were there on business they made it so good that we could...

We came to the Anantara Lawana for our 20th wedding anniversary and stayed for 10 days in mid may 2012. I could not fault this hotel. We originally reserved a Deluxe Plunge Pool villa, but upgraded immediately to a Garden Pool villa when we were offered it. I'm glad we did and the extra cost was worth it. The villa... More

We had a very good time at the hotel, but the sea view pool villa has no view and no connection to the sea, and it is very disappointing. The big dilemma is it cost effective, and I am not sure it is.
