Rummana Boutique Resort

Asked for a second key, as my husband and I planned doing different things during the day. Reception replied only 1 key allowed ! You can come to Reception if can't find husband and we open for you....Unbelievable! Moreover there is no way to leave the Aircon to cool the room when your out as this is activated by door key....result....stuffy, overheated rooms...and we both caught bad colds as we needed to leave the Aircon at night (something I never do !) Result we both caught really bad colds, that ruined our stay... The hotel layout is in a (very) long "corridor" of tropical garden....which seems great at first...except there is no air circulation....even if its windy on the beach you feel like you are in a tropical jungle...aka 98 % degrees humidity and extremely uncomfortable! The pool area looks like a through back from the 80's with dark furniture and a small pool shoved up a corner.... Would I come back....Never !

I had a great stay at Rummana, I stayed in one of the ‘Rummana Villas’. The room was clean and well presented. The hotel is peaceful and quiet with a nice pool and it leads directly on to the beach. The sea was calm so ideal for swimming and snorkelling. It is easy to get into Lamai from the hotel, it is about a 15-minute walk along the beach or a 5-minute drive. The manager and all of the staff at Rummana were very friendly and helpful. I had booked to stay for a month but I liked it so much I decided to extend it and stayed even longer. I would definitely recommend Rummana!

The best hotel on the Island! We stayed on this wonderful place Just for 6 days but was like a dream! The best beach in Koh Samui, peacefull and full of nature. The room very clean and the staff really friendly and helpfull. You can rent a motorbike, organize excursions, transfers to the Airport,ecc They have all you Need. We Will come back next year again!

We stayed here from 12/7-27/7, in two rooms (306&307). The resort is wonderful and we had the most amazing 2 weeks here. The rooms were just perfect, everything you need and very clean and tidy. The house keepers do a fantastic job! The resort is very calm and tranquil and half the time we didn’t see another soul. We were often the only family lying round the pool area. The two weeks we stayed there were no noisy children or rowdy adults, no pool water sports or loud music, it was just perfect for lazing around, chilling and reading. The restaurant menu is basic, but everything we tried was very nice and not much dearer than out on the street. Drinks from the bar were also very reasonable for a hotel. Breakfast buffet is good- it has everything such as eggs cooked how you like, fresh fruits, cheeses, hams, pastries, bread and jam etc and tea/coffee/juices. The waiters/waitresses and barmen are what makes this hotel, they are a real asset and go above and beyond to help make your holiday as perfect as can be. They are very attentive, work very hard and we are grateful to them for everything they did for us. The location of the resort is why we chose it. It is directly on Lamai beach, which is totally gorgeous! The resort is at the far end of Lamai beach, away from all the hustle and bustle but that’s what made it for us. The beach was quiet, however it was only about a 15-20 min walk along the beach to the main high street, where all the restaurants and bars etc were. We wandered up there a few times and then got a taxi back (400bht each way). Just outside the resort, on the main road are local restaurants and a few shops, 2 mini markets being some of them. We ate in the Elephant one over the road and Pink Orchid round the corner, and both were incredibly cheap and very delicious. On the beach, each side of the resort, are a few restaurants and lots of massage huts. We used them a lot, and the massages were very good. There is a pool at the hotel, but it’s a little run down with tiles needing to be fixed etc and the chlorine was very strong, so we didn’t use it. But when you have the most incredible, crystal blue water to swim in, the pool didn’t get a second look anyway! Would highly recommend this hotel and if we were to ever go to Koh Samui again, there is no where else we’d rather stay! Thank you for making our holiday one to remember 💜

What a beautiful place, it’s quiet and calm, a little oasis away from the busy traffic. As you enter the reception area there is a feeling of calm. The little walkways through to the rooms and eventually to the pool and restaurant area are lovely, intriguing and shady. The staff and owners are kind and caring. They speak very good English and were able to answer all our questions about Thai culture as well as about getting around. The rooms and food were excellent. I would highly recommend.

We'll be back again. The staff was friendly and breakfast was very satisfying. The beds are comfortable and the room has plenty of space, amenities, and privacy. You can't beat the price compared to other resorts and we actually liked Rummana more than some others we tried on the island despite the lower cost!

If you imagine a tropical garden, this resort comes close. It hash lush green with ponds. Spacious villas are scattered all over a long rectangluar plot of land. Staff is very friendly and willing to fulfill everything you'll need. Offered transportation is somewhat expensive so if you're not afraid to hassle with the songtaew drivers those might be preferable. Rooms are clean but sounds fr outside can be easily heard. Reception is from 8 AM to 8 PM, but always reachable by phone. If you look for a fairly quiet place away from 'the action's, this is a resort to look for.

Ruhe und dennoch nicht weit vom Trubel

Our room had a view of the fish pond which was nice!
