About the hotel:
Nice resort and nice location. But overpriced. I booked a the deluxe room but they gave me a superior room. I think the other rooms were full.
I m dissappointed about the room. I expected much more for 3750 baht.
I don t recommend this room!
The roommate does his work very good. Clean rooms! The people at the reception are not service minded .
The swimmingpool is nice and big.
The breakfast is of a low standard. Not bad at all but not to much choice. For this money below expectations.
Check-in and check-out without problems and very fast.
About the reservation service:
Quickly and easy.

About the hotel:
Clean room and nice view from the room, which is great! Good b fast food... Although the service is a bit suck. I came on friday night around 11pm, and they had stopped the service early. So we only allowed to have beers, and bottles of sodas, which is totally not cool. And the woman who served us was a bit rude, by the explanation, I assume that she wanted to go home, and the fact that we came late, that really made her dissapointed. Not nice at all!
The rest is OK. Good value of money.
About the reservation service:
Good job!

Last time we saw the weekender was more than 5 years ago but today we see a brand new hotel , swimming pool(very nice even small pool for childeren).So we do hope they can keep it clean and nice for long time because maintenance is for most hotels a big problem!In december they would open a SPA as well (still under construction now).

About the hotel:
We have returned from a 21-day stay at the Weekender Resort, Lamai. Everyone of the staff were pleasant, helpful and cheerful making our stay very enjoyable. We stayed in a Thai house which are an older type but which were kept spotlessly clean by our smiling cleaners. The restaurant was in a great position next to the beach and it was a pleasure to have breakfast there, with a good choice of food. I found the drinks expensive even for hotel prices. On leaving we felt we had spent 3 weeks with a happy family so THANK YOU ALL AT THE WEEKENDER.
About the reservation service:
Faultless as usual.

About the hotel:
If you like big resorts, where you are just like one in a million, this is a good place to stay.
The pools are nice, free new sunbeds, a very nice, but very expensive restaurants, okay bungalows and a lot of russians.
Lamai beach is Chawend littlebrother, so if you don´t want to much noise, go to Lamai.
The staff is like in the rest of Thailand- ALWAYS smiling, shiney people - thank you!

About the hotel:
Nice pool area. Ok room but not better than that. Not a very friendly staff in the reception!! A very nice woman in the breakfast restaurang (a woman). The restaurang is nearly always empty except breakfast. Expensive and not very invitating restaurant. The whole hotel has an unfriendly and unpersoanl touch..
About the reservation service:
Ok

About the hotel:
Weekender is a lot different from dome years back. Totally rebuilt,
it is worth the money. The Thai massage is also excellent.
The reception staffs are not good. Very bad service, and arrogant.
Staid for six nights. Came back to Samui, after a trip to Koh Tao.
Did not stay, since the price was too high. They would not consider giving us a good price.
We staid, at the Resort next to it. Lamai Coconut Resort, exellent quality for half the price. Very, very good.
The Tailor at Weekender, stay away from him. Completely use less.
When we agreed to pick up what we had ordered, he was not their.
Most of what we had ordered was not to acceptable standard, I say again don’t do any business with him.
The new restaurant was very nice, the waiters very helpful.
About the reservation service:
Very good, as always. Never any trouble.

About the hotel:
Our group (5 girls in their 20 s)stayed at the Weekender resort for 10 nights and we were very pleased! After reading some of the more negative reviews on here, we were a little hesitant, but the resort was just perfect for what we wanted. After walking up and down the Lamai stretch of beach, the Weekender definitely had the best area of beach that we saw of all the surrounding resorts. The included breakfast in the morning was great, we never missed it. The surrounding restaurants and conveniences were also very useful. We stayed in the more basic rooms which were what we needed for our price range, but the nicer rooms looked great for those that want those kinds of amenities. I would stay here again and recommend it to others!
About the reservation service:
Just great, no problems.

About the hotel:
we booked the standard room for 2200 bht and judging by the photo of the std room and the price we were expecting something quite nice... however we were pretty disappointed when we were taken to see our room which certainly had no greenery to look out to and instead our balcony looked out over the busy main street of lamai and really we were not close to the beach at all.. the building was old and we not attractive at all.. the rest of the resort looked nice but not for the price.. they offered to upgrade us (maybe for a little extra baht- not sure) but we were annoyed about the situation so we had a look around lamai and came across Lamai Inn 99 who had a room closer to the beach with all the mod cons - tv, air con, safe in room - and lovely pool for 1500 bht... we lost of 2200 deposit a Weekender... would definately go to Lamai Inn 99 over Weekender anyday ...
About the reservation service:
booking was easy but would probably just show up instead of booking online next time to make sure we like the place
