Hotel Tropical Sea View Residence (Lamai Beach, Thailand)

Rooms at this resort which offer a sea view are more expensive than those that do not, but guests say the spectacular vista visible from the upper floors and the rooftop terrace is worth the additional cost they paid. Those who stayed in the penthouse in particular say the view from the large private balcony is exceptional.

While some reviewers were unhappy to report that the resort is not situated within easy walking distance of the beach, some found this to be a positive as they enjoyed the peace and solitude when hanging around the hotel.

Many past guests take the time to thank the staff for their excellent stay, mentioning individual staff members by name and crediting them with their smooth, relaxing stay where they felt every need was quickly attended to.

A number of reviewers expressed concerns with the level of cleanliness at this resort, though overall the hotel receives fairly positive ratings for this aspect. Those who were displeased pointed to different problems, from strange smells in rooms to the fact that housekeeping visited their room very few times during their stay.

Several guests report concerns with maintenance around the hotel, highlighting minor issues in their room that meant their stay was not entirely comfortable. For some the problem was a broken TV, for others it was a shower that did not run properly.

The location of this resort is generally well regarded, but most guests acknowledge the use of some form of transport is necessary to get around - even to reach the nearest beach. Many say that having access to a motorcycle is a major bonus and makes the location much more convenient.
