Lima Bella Resort

Can not fault any of the staff. True Thai hospitality and attention to detail. Nothing was a bother for them. Guests temperatures were checked daily. Loft room was fine for a short stay. Location is close to beach and town. Breakfast was great too. In these times of travel challenges I just hope the pool had stayed open for a few more days. Missing the vodka lychee. Keep safe.

Pros: Staff were super helpful and welcoming, location was a 10 minute walk from the main beach and high street area which meant it was quiet and peaceful, the hotel was very quiet whilst we were there which was great, they let us check in early and greeted us with a welcome drink. Cons: would recommend spending the extra and getting a double room rather than a loft room as these are small and the air con was not very efficient in comparison, the room was quite clean although we did ask to have our bedding changed as it was marked and the same with the towels which had black stains on. The bathroom floor never felt clean and left a dusty/bitty feel on your feet. Breakfast was ok but it was really off putting as there were ants on the tables and serving areas. Overall an ok stay but would not return. It feels like it needs some care and attention, especially the grounds which were covered in leaves/debris.

Having spent 16 days touring Vietnam and Cambodia our objective was to chill out for 10 days on an island within 2 or 3 hours of Bangkok. Koh Samet was a great choice but it wouldn't have been as good if we hadn't booked into the Lima Bella resort.Firstly it's great value. Set back 5 minutes walk from Sai Kaew beach it is an oasis of calm. Our room was clean, quiet, comfortable with good air-conditioning and WiFi. The pool was lovely and, for most of the day, we were the only guests there. Breàkfast was good and constantly being replenished by the attentive staff. Cocktails and beers at the bar were cold and good value. Our transfer back to Bangkok by tuk-tuk,ferry,motor bike with sidecar and taxi was professionally organised by Bee & Nong and went like a dream. Above all, this hotel has brilliant staff. Helpful, friendly and constantly smiling. So thanks Ann,Jai,Keng,Tan and everybody else for a wonderful stay.
