This is the second time we stat at Sand Sea with two years between our visits. In addition I was at Lamai in 1997 and see the change towards a total tourist ghetto. Many places like Lamai is rapidly loosing it's charm in Thailand. The pressure from massive tourism wears both people, structures and nature down. Sand Sea is no... More

This hotel was recommended to us by friends as a good value for money hotel at popular Lamai beach. Since it was our first time to Samui we decided to stay here for the first half of our stay. Our friends stayed at the budget rooms close to the water but we decided to go for the 'Junior Suite Ocean... More

Stay at this hotel at your own risk. Because the staff here don't care about you. behind the smiles, the staff here are very cynical indeed. They rented us a motorbike with a very bald front tire that had no grip on the dusty Samui road. The bike easily slipped and fell over, even from a standing position travelling at... More

Like one of the other reviews said if you're after a flash hotel this is not for you, but the position on the beach is so good. We stayed in a garden view room, it was quite small, really just enough room to out our suitcases on the floor and a small bathroom. My first impression was that it wasn't... More

our villa is on the beach. it was not a top fashioned one but enough for a tropical visit. there was a balcony looking to the ocean. lamai beach is not the best beach but it's more quite so you can go to the chaweng beach with a 15 minutes bike ride and back to have a rest..

We stayed at Sand Sea in May which is low season on Samui. After visiting Samui for over 15 years now we still can't work out why. We stayed in one of the pool villas which was absolutely right on the beach with a quite large pool not a plunge pool as in many other places. The villa was showing... More

I was almost put of this resort by some of the reveiws but am so happy that we decided to go there. We have just returned from 2 weeks of relaxation in paradise. We had a junior suite that led out to the pool which was next to the beach. The rooms were thoroughly cleaned each day including the bedding... More

If you are after a care-free, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired holiday, and are not fussed about expensive bing and glitz (after all, you are on a beach holiday), then you do need to consider this place. It's probably 2-star or 3-star material but the location is great, on the north side of Lamai town,... More

stayed for 2 weeks with my brother & friends, had some great weather and some bad storms but the hotel staff were always happy and helpful. Great food and atmosphere, great cocktails. beach front bungalows were great , walk out the door straight on the beach.
