Baan Laimai Beach Resort & Spa

Location of the hotel is great as it located in patong facing Patong Beach. Compound of the hotel is spacious. However, rooms are a bit dated and in need of touch up. Breakfast is good with wide selection. Overall good stay.

The hotel has a great location right across from the Beach and a short 5 min walk to the main road but I wouldn’t recommend the hotel to my friends and family! They are currently doing renovations that we didn’t know about until we got to our room. They would start at 8am and would go all day making it hard for a sleep in and to relax. The spa was way to over priced for what it was. The restaurant (hern) was really good but again way to over priced and the room we had he book (beach view) had a horrible view along with a tap that was barely attached in the bathroom. Our door wouldn’t always lock behind us and if it did you could pull on the handle a few times and it would open also the bed was as hard as a rock and uncomfortable if you sleep on your side. Breakfast was poor. Over all just poor finishing. If the rest of the hotel is to be finish to the same level as the spa and the hern restaurant (both beautiful) it will be a beautiful resort but a huge price tag to match. I would call this a hotel not a resort.

The location was great, being right across the road from the beach; the breakfast had a good variety; the pool was composed of different swimming areas, which was nice because you didn't feel as if you were swimming on top of people; the room was large with a sofa, coffee table, and desk, and an outdoor deck. On the downside, our bathroom had a sewer smell that would not leave, and the housekeeper would never leave toilet paper.

The location opposite the beach, various size pools all great. The room on arrival was lovely except for a particular mouldy smell. Once we returned from dinner the smell was overpowering. We opened the window onto the balcony to see if that helped clear the bad air. In the end I think we were so tired we just went to bed. However we woken by persisting loud singing coming from the restaurant/bar area downstairs. We rang reception only to be told music is on every night till 11.30!!! Not impressed. Next morning we complained and asked for a room change or money back. They found a room in a very quiet area of the hotel. The room was very large and comfortable, though not renovated. Also breakfast could be improved by adding cappuccino/espresso coffee (rather than having to pay for it) and more western dishes. Otherwise OK. Staff polite, courteous and helpful at all times.

Beautiful resort that’s a contrasting oasis in comparison to surrounding Patong. Great breakfast and pool, but the showers and the building exterior could use a little maintenance.
