Orchid Suites

Very very disappointing,in fact ptetty bad! The food was bland,served cold and really flavourless. My friends and I have been going to restaurants all around Samui for almost a month and have never had such a poor meal. The prices seem reasonable until you realise that 10% service and 7 % government tax is added to the bill. A great shame as the beach is fabulous,in my opinion one of the best in Samui.

We stayed here a few years ago so I'm writing this review pretty late.... But seeing the reviews here I must disagree, we had one of the best vacations ever there, and we travel lots! Sure, the bungalows are basic but have nice views, the breakfast croissants had ants on them a couple times but otherwise it was still better than no breakfast, and it was nice to dine with the wonderful view. Don't expect much and don't expect to stay there too much and go explore, you'll have the time of your life!

As soon as i arrived here the scene and feeling of this hotel, i could put it in one word: SCARY. We arrived here approx 5.30pm and as soon as we got dropped off by our airport transfer service i had this feeling this hotel was dodgy. We (3 of us) stayed here for a total of 4 nights and by the first few hrs i was ready to find another hotel ASAP. It was just soooooooo deady quiet and u hardly heard a voice from other ppl that stayed there. The hotel rooms or bungalows if u wanna call them are situated next to trees which attract soooo many mosquitoes. Its impossible to open the doors for fresh air cos they will eat u alive! Reception was the worst. There was only one reception attendant (a male) who was hardly there. We could always hear him upstairs (u could see his room from reception) sleeping or watching TV. When we asked for an extra pillow case he just left it on reception desk thinking we would come and get it ourselves. I hardly ever complain of hotels im just a go-with-the-flow person but this place was the worst! The ENTIRE place needs an upgrade from 50yrs ago it seems. The location of the hotel is toooooo far from main Chaweng and there is nothing to do in Lamai except perve on the caucasian guys across the street practising Muay Thai boxing. To get to Chaweng, call for a motorbike taxi its so much faster and quicker and fun! I must say the restaurant right next opposite the uphill laneway on main road do really good meals and health shakes! They also run the Muay Thai clothing store and excellent laundry service (only 60B per kilo!!). So pass on the hotel breakfast as it will make u feel so sick (milk left out in the heat and just toast on offer) and go to this place for all ur meals! Very convenient! Overall this hotel was a bad experience and i dont know how ppl pay t stay here its disgusting. I couldnt wait to leave this place and go back to Bangkok!
