Aree Beach Resort

Aree Beach Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
War im April 2012 im Aree Beach Resort. Hatte einen Seaview Bungalow. Schönes großes Zimmer mit Blick zum Meer, und Terrasse mit Tisch , Stühlen und Liege vorm Bungalow. Die Bungalows liegen in einer Gartenanlage direkt am Strand. Am Strand sind viele Bäume, so dass man den ganzen Tag genügend Schatten hat. Es sind ausreichend Liegen am Strand vorhanden. Freundliches Personal und Management. Ruhige Lage im Norden von Lamai Beach. Für Partytouristen vielleicht etwas zu ruhig, zu Fuß etwa 15-20 Minuten ins Zentrum von Lamai, zum entspannen aber ideal. Das Meer an dieser Stelle ist recht flach, daher zum schwimmen nicht ideal, aber für Familien mit kleinen Kindern aus dem selben Grund sicher gut geeignet. Alles in allen empfehlenswert, würde dort wieder buchen.

Accommodation and facilities:
Wir waren zwei Personen in einem Bungalow.Der Raum war hell und sauber.Die Besitzer freundlich und auch interessiert an unserer Zufriedenheit. Die Angestellten alle sehr,sehr nett und immer mit einem wohlwollenden Lächeln.Das Frühstück wurde uns jeden Morgen auf unserem Sitzplatz serviert.Es gefiel uns sehr gut.Da und dort sollte vielleicht mal eine Reparatur gemacht werden,ich denke,das wird wohl in der flauen Zeit erledigt.- Der Standort ist nahe am Meer,vom Bett ins Wasser!Die Stadt ist gut zu Fuss erreichbar.-Nachteilig ist die Lagune,die in der Nähe ins Meer greift und bei hohem Wasser nicht mehr überschritten werden kann!So ist der Strandspaziergang nicht immer möglich.-

For me it was the perfect place to stay. The Resort was like I expected it from the information I get from the booking site. It was away from the noisy tourist center but not far to walk to restaurants, shops, etc. The owners and personal are very friendly. Dear Aree & Helmut, thank you again for the pleasant stay!

The hotel is good. I mean it's nor super, but it's not bad. We were in beach front villa, location is perfect, but it need renovation. The sea was good only after 16 00... before this time we couldn't swim at all :( we rent a motobike and every day went for swimming to different beaches, which were better, then Lamai (Bang Por, Maenam) But the stuff of the hotel is very friendly! And it was great to seat in a chair in the evening...in front of the sea...

simple not fussy or over the top, literally on the beach. service was excellent aree and her army of house staff were always on hand willing and able always with a smile no matter what trouble we kept coming up with. close enough to lamai town to enjoy but just far enough down the beach to be peacefull. lamai is definitly superior to chaweng all the bustle without the hassle. The food is excellent and if your at a lost end at daft o clock in the morning try chom lay 24 hr restaurant the food is brilliant no matter what time of day or night you are there (the shrimp cake is the best ever and the mantis shrimp are superb!) 2 weeks just was not even remotly enough!

Wir waren zwei Wochen da und wohnten in einem Seaside Bungalow. Wir haben schon viele Fernreisen unternommen, aber bei Aree und Helmuth war es am allerschönsten. Falls irgendwelche Mängel auftreten, behebt Helmuth diese. Wir haben ihn als sehr freundlichen und klugen Gastgeber kennen- und schätzen gelernt. Das Resort ist sehr familiär geführt. Täglich wird die Bettwäsche ausgetauscht, die Handtücher gewechselt und 2 Wasserflaschen in den Kühlschrank gestellt. Die tailändischen Bedieneteten sind immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kann vor dem Hotel direkt nicht schwimmen wegen des vorgelagerten Riffs, aber die wunderschöne Aussicht, die ruhige Gemütlichkeit und die schattenspendenen Bäume machen dies mehr als wett. Wer alles etwas locker sieht und sich in die tailändische Mentalität einfindet, wird den Urlaub dort in vollen Zügen genießen. Wir gehen auf ale Fälle nächstes Jahr wieder hin.

After a 10 hour journey from Bangkok Aree Beach Resort was just what we were looking for. Our room was bright and clean and the A/C was a constant refreshment. The staff were all really helpful and friendly and our room was cleaned everyday with fresh linen and towels provided. We were right on the beach front which felt like our own private little strip. It's about a 5-10 min walk into the main resort area which was managable. We had a fantastic stay here and would definately recommend it to everyone.

Reservation service:
SiamWebHosting.com was very easy to use although our transfer from the main pier to take us to Aree Beach Resort never showed up so we had to pay to get ourselves there.

Accommodation and facilities:
Could I speak more highly of this place? I doubt it. Helmut and his wife and the whole staff were great, the bungalows were clean and well-equipped, and the ambiance was splendid. I spent a few weeks with the beach outside of my window - a great way to start the day (or the afternoon, since you can spend your evenings in nearby Lamai or a-bit-further-away Chaweng if you so desire). Aree Resort was clean, quiet, and filled with travelers from other countries. The travelers seemed to be family-types and older than your standard lager-happy merrymakers, so the mood was mellow. I would highly recommend this place and will stay there again next time I am fortunate enough to be in Samui.

Yeah, it was all good.

Wonderful place. Very peaceful, friendly and just nice. Walking distance from the city; right on the seashore. The staff was very helpful and the manager was personally making sure we enjoyed the stay. The only negative thing was the sea. Stones and coral reefs, impossible to get in without shoes, but we bought the shoes in the city (sold virtually everywhere 200bt or so) and enjoyed snorkling after that. Overall, i recommend this place to everybody.

Eines der netten Zimmermaedchen hat sogar fuer ein kleines Entgeld an einem Abend fuer vier Stunden auf unsere Kleinen aufgepasst, damit wir mal einen freien Abend fuer uns hatten. Wer Ruhe sucht, aber doch innert 10 Minuten zu Fuss am Leben von Lamai teilnehmen will, dem kann ich mit gutem Gewissen dieses kleine Resort empfehlen.

Aree Beach Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
THE GOOD: The owner is a cordial older gentleman who is very helpful. The staff there is the best thing about the place. They are some great and wonderful ladies. They kept my bungalow spotless and in top condition. My a/c acted up and the owner had it fixed immediately. I found the breakfast to be fine, counter to what someone said; after all, what do you expect for $3? For $3 it could not be beat. Delivered to your room by a beautiful smiling lady. Their fruit plate is very good too. There is a tidal pool inlet right there on the beach that makes for a very nice natural jaccuzi when the tide is going out. THE BAD: The owner demanded cash for the balance upon check-in. He said it is noted on the web-site. I can't find that, can you? My bungalow was NOT what I would consider a bungalow, but just a room on the beach. Maybe Thailand had different ideals about what a bungalow is. I consider it a stand-alone type hut myself. The beds had the straw-matte on concrete quality, even when two mattresses were stacked. To be fair, that is a common complaint with many Thai resorts. The beach is NOT quite AT ALL in the evenings. Some idiot resort down the way is always shooting off a LOUD cannon all through the night, for what reason, I don't know. On 3 occasions we had drunken young Thai men walking up and down the beach having a rolling party and shooting off LARGE fireworks and being asses. Coming from a war zone, the LAST thing I wanted to hear was abrupt BANGS and BOOMS all through the night. The resort has 3 large dogs that are docile towards people, but try to gang up on and start a dog-fight with about every dog that comes down the beach, even with the passing dogs on leashs with their owners trying to protect them. There are many very loud speaker trucks running down the road blaring advertisments too. Quite annoying. I also was not informed a swimming pool was available. Listen folks, nothing to do with Aree Resort specifically, but Koh Samui is NOT a quite island paradise if that is what you desire; it is closer to Bangkok on a beach. It is loud, very commercial, and the traffic is very heavy and extremely dangerous. If you want what most Westerners consider a quite island getaway, I would suggest nearby islands Koh Phangan or Koh Tao which I found on a day trip to be very pleasent, laid back, and quite. But, I am sure there are quiter spots on Samui, especially on the SW coast. I dove all around the whole island. One exquisite spot I found to sit and eat and watch the sun go down is the Laem Set Inn open-air restaurant on the SW coast. Great spot and great food. Not a place for loud-mouth idiots. Folks there are very quite and respectful. How nice to find such a place so unlike so many other spots. I spent a couple of the most wonderful hours of my life there with a beautiful young creature who would not let me lift a fork. I LOVE Thai women. What a refreshing change over Lamai Beach this place was. I can also recommend Mango Village Resort. I had a friend staying there and THAT is one BEAUTIFUL and quite place with a very nice secluded beach. But, next time for me, it is Koa Tao island. Thank you Thailand, I love ya Baby! (even with the not-so-good tossed in).

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed for 5 nights in a beachfront-AC-room. The room-size was o.k., the bathroom a little bit small. The room was cleaned every day, one pillow was pretty dirty under the sheet, but i have seen it the last day... Maybe they would have changed it if i would have asked before. The location was fine - close enough to Lamai-Center to reach the restaurants in some minutes, a 7-11 is not far away - but it is far enough from the noise of the bars at night. The beach and the water was during our stay a little bit dirty... For Lamai the Aree has a good value, but i am not sure if i will come back again...

Very happy with my stay at Aree Resort! The beachfront studio more than met my expectations - nicely decorated and thoroughly cleaned every day. Good patio area in front of the room with table/chairs and sunlounger. Beach a bit skinny at this point but just wander a bit further up and problem solved. There was much more depth to the water than on previous visits so swimming better, although water quite murky. Will definitely stay at Aree again!

Small resort located at north end of Lamai beach. The garden view room they gave us was small, dark, and stank of cigarette smoke. The bed was very old and kind of dipped in the middle. The resort is also located a ways north of the town area, so not really convenient for dining or drinking either. There are better places to stay for just a few more baht. Didn't even stay for one night (even though I had paid in advance).

The only ting we have to compain about were the madras in the bed- quite hard and uncomfortable. We really hope they will change the madrasses cause we really would like to come back. I guess we will come back anyhow, cause prices are so low that we can only by our own madrass for the stay:-)
