Svelana Ivanova, Estonia, 9.-20.4.2008 Wonderful place. Very peaceful, friendly and just nice. Walking distance from the city; right on the seashore. The staff was very helpful and the manager was personally making sure we enjoyed the stay. The only negative thing was the sea. Stones and coral reefs, impossible to get in without shoes, but we bought the shoes in the city (sold virtually everywhere 200bt or so) and enjoyed snorkling after that. Overall, I recommend this place to everybody.

Stefan Gyger, Schweiz, 23.-26.2.2008 Haben fuer drei Naechte das Aree Beach Resort gebucht. Der Strand, das Zimmer (Beachfront) und die familiaere Atmosphaere, hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir auf insgesamt acht Naechte verlaengert haben. Eines der netten Zimmermaedchen hat sogar fuer ein kleines Entgeld an einem Abend fuer vier Stunden auf unsere Kleinen aufgepasst, damit wir mal einen freien Abend fuer uns hatten. Wer Ruhe sucht, aber doch innert 10 Minuten zu Fuss am Leben von Lamai teilnehmen will, dem kann ich mit gutem Gewissen dieses kleine Resort empfehlen

Nicola Read, England, 17.-24.2.2008. What a great resort, clean, quiet, very friendly, free safety deposit, and right on the beach which was perfect. It was a birthday treat for my husband and the owner even arrange Flowers and Beer for our arrival. Perfect location with some really cheap Food stalls and only 10 mins from Lamai Central. Would definately stay there again and already recommending to friends, thanks to Helmut and staff for making our stay perfect.

Joerg Schienhammer, Germany, 17.-23.1. 2008 We stayed for 5 nights in a beachfront-AC-room. The room-size was o.k., the bathroom a little bit small. The room was cleaned every day, one pillow was pretty dirty under the sheet, but i have seen it the last day... Maybe they would have changed it if i would have asked before. The location was fine - close enough to Lamai-Center to reach the restaurants in some minutes, a 7-11 is not far away - but it is far enough from the noise of the bars at night. The beach and the water was during our stay a little bit dirty. For Lamai the Aree has a good value, but I am not sure if i will come back again.

Ruarke Kerr , South Africa,2007-12-21 until 2008-01-06 Good value for money. However after booking out after 3week period to be informed that no credit card payments are accepted is poor form.Deposit etc paid by credit card. Website should advise that business is cash only. Very inconvienent

Mark Elliot, England, 2007-11-27 until 2007-12-03 Very happy with my stay at Aree Resort! The beachfront studio more than met my expectations - nicely decorated and thoroughly cleaned every day. Good patio area in front of the room with table/chairs and sun lounger. Beach a bit skinny at this point but just wander a bit further up and problem solved. There was much more depth to the water than on previous visits so swimming better, although water quite murky. Will definitely stay at Aree again!

Kasper Møller, Denmark - 26.07.2007 I had the pleasure of staying at Aree in 2004 and I really enjoyed living in one of the beach front bungalows (I think it was B3?) I will be on Samui from the 7th of September and will be staying for 17 days. I would like one of the beach front room again if possible. Kasper Møller

James Donaghue, England 2007-05-23 until 2007-05-30 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Brilliant place to stay, very quiet, right on the beach great value. It is 5 minutes from Lamai centre & Tesco s cinema & food complex, you can hire a motor bike or get a taxi to any of these locations. Chaewang centre about 10-15 minutes away. Very friendly staff & always helped with everything I needed, they even helped me out of a tight situation. Will be back here for sure. Spot on again, made several bookings with this company and not once been let down.

Heidi aune , Norway 2007-02-14 until 2007-02-19 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Paradise on earth! Aree was exactley as we dreamed it would be. We booked more nights after comming there to see the beutiful location.Located at the beach. Friendly and helpful staf. Clean and nice rooms.After a little time also the big gecko at the roof was cosy. It was our first time to Thailand so the gecko s were a little bit frightening in the beginning. The only ting we have to compain about were the madras in the bed- quite hard and uncomfortable. We really hope they will change the madrasses cause we really would like to come back. I guess we will come back anyhow, cause prices are so low that we can only by our own madrass for the stay:-)

Lars Vestergaard Jensen, Denmark 2007-02-11 until 2007-02-18 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach The hotel was perfect. We had a beachfront room and there was 10 m to the water. the people who worked there gave us an fantastic sevice and were always smiling. The beach, however was not the best: stones in the water and it was a little bit dirty. Efficient and professionel

Wolfgang HORNISCH, Austria 2006-12-10 until 2006-12-15 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Very nice and clean room with mini-fridge, serviced daily. Perfect shady oceanfront-terrace. Sea was not clear, bathcloths muddy after swimming. Good location, quiet and in good distance for everything. First tried to book Oceanfront but was not possible, garden confirmed. After arrival got immediately oceanfront with correct charge.

Imbi Tonisson , New Zealand 2006-12-08 until 2006-12-11 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach We stayed in a beachfront bungalow. It was a clean bungalow with tv, hot water and bar fridge and right on the beach. The grounds were a bit messy and the restaurant & reception never seemed to be staffed. All in all i think you pay for the room facilities of tv, air con and fridge. If you can go without these then you could stay somewhere a lot cheaper. Aree was very nice and friendly. Her dog was very friendly too!

Jin Yuan ,China 2006-09-25 until 2006-09-27 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Nice Hotel in a very quite location, beautifull beachfront view. Far from heart of Lamai town. Good for people with car, otherwise the transportation cost is expensive. Very good.

Kah Yee, Singapore 2006-08-22 until 2006-08-26 Aree Beach Resort, Lamai Beach I ll rate AREE 2.5 to 3-stars. IT is a peaceful place to relax, read novels while enjoying snacks from passing hawkers. Staffs are nice, they understand simple English. Fresh towels and 2 bottles of water provided daily. Hot water is at the reception counter. Room is cleaned daily. No soap and shampoo provided, but 7-Eleven & Family Mart is just nearby. Roof for Room No.A3 is too low, it s not comfortable if u r taller than 1.7m. Sand is coarse and the beach is shallow even on high tide. It s okay for sun-tanning but not for swimming. No problem with the pickup service, the driver was already waiting for us when we arrived. Booking is as simple as 1-2-3 !! One of the most efficient services I ever encountered. TWO THUMBS UP!!

Reinhard Pelekies, Germany 2006-01-19 until 2006-01-23 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach The location really is beautiful. We booked beachfront, and it was so as we expected. Just very close to the sea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned every day and fresh drinking water was in the fridge. The beach was not perfect for swimming. But it doesn t matter. We had a motorbike. And so it was no problem to go to another part of the beach. By foot it takes about 15 minutes to the center of Lamai. I recommend that accomondation to all who wants to have a beautiful and quiet and comfortable accomondation. Very good. No problems. Have to pay in advance only for one night, not for the whole booking time.

Chantal Burns, England 2005-12-14 until 2005-12-30 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach This is my second visit to these bungalows. Aree is a great place to stay. It s location, at the quieter part of Lamai beach is ideal (if you want peace). The staff are helpful and responsive to requests. The bungalows are comfortable and rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels and drinking water provided (a nice extra touch). I happily recommend them and will no doubt stay there again when I visit Samui. seems reliable and efficient for an online booking system

PHILIP HAMLETT, England 2005-11-19 until 2005-11-24 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach First visit to koh samui. Aree bungalow, beachfront. Very good, close to Lamai centre. Very friendly host, Helmut. Recommended a visit. Very Good. No problems

Tomi 2005-03-18 until 2005-03-22 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach We booked Bayfront villa for 4 nights but we were asked to stay at a different type of villa for the first night only. We didn t mind but we were not informed of the change in advance. We walked 10 min. or so to get to better beach as the beach in front of the villa wasn t so exciting. Staff were friendly. Over all, I think it was worth for the money. It was efficient. Thank you

Dan Brown, England 2005-03-04 until 2005-03-10 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach We were picked up from the airport without a hitch, he even waited around for 2 hours because we were delayed!!Our room was clean, tidy and comfortable, air/con worked great; quiet and effective. People were friendly, helpful and polite. Location was quiet and a 100 (about ?1.20) BHT taxi ride from Lamai centre, 150 BHT ride from Chaweng centre. Our bungalow was right on the beach, going to sleep with the sound of the waves lapping at the shore was very theraputic. Didn t try the food, just a few eggs for breakfast. Couple of lovely dogs kept us company as well. Well worth the money. We paid more than double in Bangkok for a room that was awful. Say hello to Penn (thai woman cleaner/cook who was lovely). Booking was simple and easy. Good follow up.

Birgit Lonergan, Ireland 2005-03-03 until 2005-03-10 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach Wir hatten uns den Beachfront-Bungalow gemietet. Die Unterkunft war sch?nd zweckm䳳ig eingerichtet. Die Betten, zwar f?tsche Verhaeltnisse etwas hart, wurden jeden Tag frisch bezogen. Auch gab es taeglich frische Handtuecher, die man auch zum Strand mitnehmen durfte. Eine herrliche Terrasse direkt vor unserer Tuer. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, ueberall Orchideen und Blumen. Das Personal ist liebenswert und freundlich. Wir haben tolle Leute dort kennengelert. Gerda und Peter Frank aus Iserlohn. Das Ehepaar lieh uns bei unserer Abreise Geld, da in der Nacht zuvor, waehrend wir schliefen, durch das Fenster ein Einbrecher kam und unser Bargeld, Foto und Kreditkarte stahl. Ich mag gar nicht daran denken, was uns haette passieren koennen, wenn wir aufgewacht waeren. Auch moechte ich Ninja empfehlen, ein Restaurant wo wir fast taeglich gespeist haben (gleich um die Ecke). Fragen Sie einfach Helmut, den Besitzer, wo Ninja ist. Nochmals Dank an Helmut und Aree. Wir kommen wieder. We had a verry good stay there. The beachfront bungalow A3 was beautyfull (two rooms). They cleaned the bungalow every day, changed the sheeds and gave us fresh towels (You could take them to the beach). The girls who work there are very friendly. We met real good people there who helped us out with money after a burgler came trough the window while we were sleeping in the middle of the night. If you will stay there I promis you will have a good stay there. Verry good

Helen, England 2005-03-01 until 2005-03-04 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach The Bungalow itself is fine but seems the view is not so good: the water is a little bit dirty. The location is nice: about 15-30 minites walk to Lamai busy street. Accomadation is OK, but the bed is not enough as we expacted. And they charge 20BAT for the safey box, but you can use as long as you can. The owner of the bungalow is a nice German

chantal , England 2004-12-28 until 2005-01-12 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach I had a lovely stay at Aree. I had a beach front room. It was cleaned every day. The staff are very helpful. I also moved to a cheaper room after extending for a few days and they were happy to do that. I would recommend Aree if you want a reasonably priced, good choice of accommodation on Lamai. The booking service is great. Easy and a faily quick response. when i arrived, my booking was secure.

Temora Maclean, England 2004-10-16 until 2004-10-18 Aree Bungalow, Lamai Beach An excellent place. Rooms are spacious and clean - we had a beachfront bungalow which was literally feet from the sea. It s well located for privacy and good views, and very reasonably priced. Look out for friendly brown cat. Absolutely wonderful as always: efficient, straight forward and friendly.
