The hype
Families love the pools and slide, but couples often find the road crossing and shallow beach a buzzkill.
Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort
$100-250/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a family-friendly resort on Lamai Beach with a killer pool scene and don't mind crossing a street to get to the sand.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Four beachfront pools plus a dedicated kids' water slide
- Voyager 47 Club Lounge perks (free evening cocktails & snacks) for suite guests
- Charming 'modern colonial' decor with vintage surf art
Kurzfassung: It's a 'split' resort—your room is likely across a busy public road from the beach, pool, and breakfast.
Bewertet von @wherenextfamily: I honestly didn't expect to relax this much on a family trip. The staff treated my daughter like a princess with face painting, and the pool slide was a lifesaver. Watching the fire show on the beach with a cocktail in hand was the highlight of our stay.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the beach good for swimming?
Honestly, no. It's very shallow (ankle to knee deep) for a long distance. Great for kids splashing, bad for laps.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
Yes, airport transfer is available for ~900 THB, but Grab or local taxis are often cheaper.
Is it noisy?
It can be. The road runs through the middle, so road-facing rooms get traffic noise. Ask for a garden room in the back.
What is the Voyager 47 Club?
It's the club lounge access included with Suites. You get afternoon tea, evening cocktails, and tasting plates for free.
Are there hidden fees?
No resort fee, but standard Thai tax/service charge (18.7%) is added to bills. Breakfast is ~950 THB if not included.
Is it walkable to town?
Yes, you are in Lamai. It's a short walk to the Night Market, 7-Eleven, and plenty of restaurants.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'crossing guards' are super friendly—don't stress the road, they literally stop traffic for you.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes south on the beach to find deeper water for swimming near the rocks.
- ✨
The laser tag arena is a surprising hit for rainy days (and not just for kids).
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'beachfront' pool area is actually across a public road from 90% of the rooms.
💡The water slide is surprisingly fast—adults use it as much as the kids.
💡There is a 'Valentine Stone' nearby that is basically a heart-shaped rock, but the view from the cafe above it is the real gem.
💡The 'Superior' rooms are significantly smaller (32sqm) than they look in wide-angle photos.
💡You might smell a faint 'tropical mustiness' in the hallways during the rainy season.
