Blu' Beach Bungalows

The location is outstanding. It is quiet and attractive. The new French owners who live on the property, acquired the previously dilapidated hotel just about 8 months ago, and have made major improvements. My only real complaint was the truly bad mattress. I let the management know and they assured me that is in their immediate plans. Until then, I would not book there again, in spite of all the other appeals of the place. Otherwise, the restaurant is very good as you would expect from a French establishment. The patio is directly over the a very quiet and super clean section of Lamai beach. The restaurant is partly under a roof and some of the (new teak) tables are on the patio overlooking the water. Very appealing and romantic. Great place for a young couple (or any age) Nice lounge chairs and umbrellas and good (quick) serivice on the patio. The pool is not big, but impeccably clean. The staff are all fluent in English, and the management and supervisors all are native French speakers. Really attractive and comfortable, except for the beds. The management also assured me that the furnishings of the rooms are being upgraded too. They are basic now, but ok. I would definitely come again, with the assurance of a good mattress.

I cant begin to explain what a wonderful place this is! We had a great experience in our lil beach bungalow... it came with a deck and fridge and the beach there was more private than the hotels more south of us in Lamai.... it had the finest sand and warmest water.... plus the pool is right there on the ocean basically! Peaceful and private... simple room with what you need... and walking distance to the night market and busier areas of Lamai! The staff was my favorite part along with the amazing food... breakfast baguettes and popcorn shrimp (which were actually large shrimp fried perfectly)

Nice little resort. bungalows are simple and a little dated. Could use a renovation. Staff was friendly. pool and bar area were really nice. Rented a scooter from the resort which made things easy. about a 20 minute walk to Lamai beach so if you don't mind being a little away from the action then this place will work.

Booked in for 2 back to back periods (2 weeks and 4 weeks )only to find the hotel refurbishment far from finished.no kitchen/restaurant for 2 weeks.no bar to start and then just a fridge with beer in.bar not open in the evening anyway due to mine being the only occupied bungalow. As guests arrive they see the lack of facilities and move swiftly on.i have looked myself but have been unable to find suitable alternative accommodation for a 6 week period .mattress had to be replaced as broken springs sticking in my back.wifi only works sporadically. No tea coffee making facilities in room. I have to say though that zack and the ladies Have worked hard to recify anything in their power possible

They were renovating they didn't,t even have a reception

Arrived in the evening and was shown bungalow room. Room was basic and bed sheets dirty. Air conditioning worked well. WiFi worked well in room. Had to ask how to use in room safe, however when approached staff were helpful. Gave us a lift to our next hotel at a good price. Hotel also does laundry at reasonable rate and came back very clean. Overall facilities looked a bit run down and the place lacked atmosphere. We enjoyed the peace and quiet however. Location was good, you can walk along the beach into Lamai, takes about 20/30 minutes. 7/11 within 5 minute walk Would stay here again if on a budget!

All the staff is very nice and helfull. Room was correct. View on the ocean is beautiful.

Very ordinary stay. Resort has an air of neglect. Thai offering temples at the entrance are in a state of disrepair. No tea bags or coffee in the room, safe was broken. On arrival a very drunk friend the owner was in the pool getting rather 'touchy freely'. Breakfast - worst food I ate in Thailand. Another friend of the owner behind the bar one night was rude to my friend & I when we left - possibly because we queried his taste in music ( Bon Jovi anyone.....) Saving grace was Adam - great staff member who made us feel welcome. Not what I expected.

The bungalows are small and rustic but certainly clean and comfortable. There was no AC but the fan cooled the room adequately. The bathroom is small, you are showering directly over the toilet. Otherwise, the place is really nice. The staff are friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and the property is right on a beach which is protected by a breakwater, so the waves aren't as high as at other resorts. There is also a small pool for the kids (or you) to swim. The best part is the courtyard, which has 4 ancient banyan trees which provide shade and keep the entire property cool even on the hottest of days. The longer I stayed here, the more I liked it.

Hotel staff were great but room was very basic. No air con, broken tiles ect but you get what you pay for.

Lovely quiet place; rooms cleaned daily. Quiet air-con. Rooms have dvd players with a selection to pick from. Decent food at the bar. Very small swimming pool with comfortable sun chairs around and the beach directly in front. I noticed the description here saying it is 'near the beach', but it couldn't be nearer the beach unless it was actually on the sand! It's about a 7 min walk to the very busy night market area (not sure why ppl are saying that it's miles away from anything - it is a few kms from Lamaii central but I walked for a few mins and found the night market and plenty places to eat and drink or get massages, etc). It's not the place to be if you're looking to whoop it up every night, the bars on the beach here are pretty quiet. Lamai is a lot more sedate than Chaweng but it's still a busy area as regards numbers of places to eat, etc. I'd recommend staying here if you just want to totally relax whilst not spending too much cash on accomodation but also want clean and comfortable. Ask for rooms away from the main road side.

Loved this place! Room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was very helpful. They gave us an open a/c room even though we booked a fan room. They also helped us book taxis to the airport. The resort itself was right on the beach and had a lovely shaded courtyard with a pool, restaurant and ping pong and pool. Definitley was pleasantly surprised by this place considering the price. Would stay here again on my next visit.

It is an ok hotel if you are traveling as a back packer. Nice little bungalow, not fancy but clean an with AC. In front of the ocean. Simple but we had a nice relaxing time.

Good sized bungalow clean with good AC, right on beach with decent little pool available to, friendly staff, quiet end of beach so a little bit of a walk to the main centre in Lamai but if you don't feel like walking there's plenty of Tuk tuk's around or they have motor bikes for rent at reception

It was a good stay for our purposes. We were out touring during the days and were mainly there at night so a clean cheap room was exactly what we needed! The staff was helpful as well.

Located in a serene and tranquil corner of the Lamai beach,this property offers a laid back ambiance with fine and cozy rooms in a pristine environment,the owner i wish should have been more interactive,asked us about our plans,he was quite prosaic and kept to his affairs.Wished the property had a credit card machine,but considering this not to be having too many rooms and the owner not hellbent on marketing the property,do not see the request to be implemented anytime soon.The owner was kind enough not to charge us as i intimated him about one of the temporary wooden see through near the window broken,Overall a pleasant experience.

I stayed here during low season and it was just the nice break in my travels that I needed: lovely pool for a dip with a gorgeous view of the beach, laidback vibe, nice clean room. I get that if you were travelling here at high season you might find the higher prices make the conditions seem less worth it, but I suppose that's the trouble with travelling at peak times! I found everything I needed just fine, from the functioning a/c and hot water, comfortable bed, and good (and not terribly unreasonably priced) restaurant food. I ate other meals at local restaurants just down the road too. It's outside the action of Lamai Beach, so if you're looking for a girlie bar out your hotel room door, this is not your place. If you're looking for a chilled out slice of serene Samui, this is an affordable option with all the essentials covered.

Great little budget resort right on the beach. I originally booked 3 nights at this resort but after my time was up I stayed for 2 more. There wasn't too much to the room, but it was clean and comfortable and the ac worked great so I'm not sure I could really ask for more. The management was great and made you feel comfortable and welcome.

Have great time there beautiful sunrise on the beach of the hotel .drive motorbike along the beach . Fresh seafood .

We were arriving late on Samui and only needed a bed for the night, so only booked a basic room. If we were staying longer we would have booked a superior room, they looked a lot nicer. We moved from the resort because we found it a bit too far (for walking) from the main beach road and centre of Lamai resort.
