Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
We had an excellent time once again at this beautiful and friendly resort. The staff really goes out of its way to make you feel right at home. Timing was perfect, the end of the low season - we almost had the resort to ourselves. The weather is also great this time of year - not too hot, 25-26 c in the evenings, 29-30 during the day, and cloudy, which keeps you from getting a bad sunburn.

Excellent as always. It is worth to check out Sawadee s new IT complex at the north end of Lamai.

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
Eigentlich eine traumhaft Anlage. Die Bungalows haben eine große Terrasse, Wohnraun und eigenes Schlafzimmer. Super Komfort.
Wir waren Anfang September und die Anlage wirkte wie eine Geisterstadt, es waren höchstens 10 Bungalows belegt. Das Frühstück war mässig, die Auswahl gering. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, im Freien zu Frühstücken, da die Hotelplaner scheinbar bei allem Luxus einen überdachten Freisitz vergessen haben. So saßen wir jeden Morgen in einem nicht sehr schönen und heißen Saal.
Am Pool gibt es außer den Sonnenschirmen keinen Schatten, man könnte ruhig noch ein paar Palmen pflanzen, so daß der sterile Charakter des Poolbereiches nicht so dominiert.
Freundlichkeit des Personals ist in Ordnung.
Problematisch ist nachts der Heimweg, wenn man vom Zentrum kommt: An der unbeleuchteten Straße ist es lebensgefährlich, am Strand absolut dunkel und auch nicht sonderlich heimelig, auch wenn nichts passiert.
Leute die nicht weit gehen wollen, ist das Hotel zu abgelegen.
Alles in allem ein Hotel mit Schwächen, die durch die wunderbaren Zimmer aber wieder wettgemacht werden.

Perfekt wie immer!

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
This was our second stay at this hotel and the good impression from last year was repeated. The staff are always eager to help and make you feel welcome. The rooms and the whole resort are very clean and continually being looked after. The pool is large enough to actually swim in it and also very clean at all times. Again, there were very few guests which might be due to the fact that the hotel is situated at a very quiet location which might not be the thing for young people or those seeking action, however, it was exactly what we wanted. The Thai food is excellent and if you wish for something that is not on the menu they will be happy to prepare it for you. If they don t have the ingredients (e.g. fresh mussels) handy that day, they will order them for you and you can enjoy them the next day. European food is not always very exciting - but after all, we don t come to Thailand to eat European food! Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a quiet location, a lovely resort and attentive service.

Fabulous, as always! We had to change the dates of our reservations and had a few specific wishes on top and everything was resolved to our full satisfaction.

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
Hotel is good, beach is good, quite and peaceful. Very uncomfortable furniture in the rooms. Very poor and minimal cable coverage. Cant stay out of room most of the day. Not really close to the main Lemai Beach street with restuarants etc

Did not provide full picture of hotel location i.e. isolation

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
Location very quiet. Nice rooms. We stayed in a family suite sea view. Very spacious and clean (two rooms with two bathrooms), fridge. Staff very friendly. Lamai beach shopping and entertainment area is reachable on foot (15 min walk on the seashore) Resort restaurant a bit expensive, but service and food very nice.

Super. Recommended.

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
Excellent hotel. Very quiet, but meticulously tended garden. Nice villa,although with a little Spartan decoration.
Great pool and beach area. Very courteous staff.
Really a place to recommend to anyone looking for a nice and quiet spot within walking distance of the nightlife of Lamai or a short taxiride to bustling Chaweng.
|
Who else would you turn to if you intend to travel to Thailand? Excellent as ever.

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
The Hotel was lovely but I think overpriced. The staff were great and very friendly but it was the only restaurant that added tax and tips as part of the bill. We did stay at another resort on Koh Samui for our first night that was half the price and probably nicer. Saying that, the pool was beautiful and the location quiet and relaxing.

great

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
We stayed at Ayodhya Villas for Xmas and NY 2007/08. Hotel is located at the quiet end of Lamai beach, out of the main street where everything happens. This worked perfectly for us, taxis are readily available but if you need a little quiet time...
Ayodhya Villas must be THE cleanest hotel on the island. They really take care of every little corner, the garden is perfectly maintained and rooms are very clean too. Service is brilliant. Our friends had their 5 year old daughter with them. One evening we wanted to go out w/o her... so, the General Manager helped us out and baby sit for us. Where else in the world can you find hospitality like that?
When it comes to food and service in the restaurant - you better off eating elsewhere. There are many restaurants just around the corner from there where food is delicious. Spa is little expencive side, there are few ladies working at the end of the beach not far from the hotel, this is where we had our daily massage... All in all, holiday was perfect, we will definatelly re-visit Koh Samui and will stay Thai Ayodhya Villas again.

Sawadee booking sevice is second to none. Reminders were sent via @mail and text when payments were due. They also arrange a trasnport from and to airport. Would use the service again and recommend to others.

Thai Ayodhya Villas & Spa, Lamai Beach
Thai Ayodha is ideally situated on the south end of Lamai beach. It has its private beach which is a plus. The sea floor has some big stones so be careful not to hurt your foot when going in. The sea deepens fast and waves are quite strong so inexperienced swimmers better stay in the pool which is beautiful and has a great view of the sea. The bungalow we stayed in was spacious and clean, but the furniture was quite old and used. The A/C was effective but very noisy. Also the roofs dont have gutters so the water just runs off the tiles and hits the ground with a loud dripping noise which may be annoying to light sleepers.
The staff is very friendly and attentive and they deserve 100 points for really trying their best to make our stay comfortable. Their English is limited as anywhere on Samui but there is a Philippine girl at the reception whose English is excellent.
The restaurant food was clean and tasty, breakfast was good and plentiful. Prices are almost European standard in the hotel so we mostly ate in the village. All in all we enjoyed our time apart from the few annoyances mentioned above. Value for the price could be better though - i expected a bit more for 160 dollars a night, but again we were there for the peak of the high season.

Fast and efficient as always, thanks!
