Hotel Montra Resort (Lamai Beach, Thailand)

Many guests rave about the feeling of peace and calm that pervades the Montra Hotel. Thanks to the relatively small size of this resort, there is little in the way of intrusion from other visitors, and couples, especially, have given it positive reviews.

Reviewers consistently speak highly of the hotel staff's high standards of service. According to some, the service at this boutique hotel exceeds that of the bigger resorts on the island. Many attributed this to the smaller and more personal size of the place.

Many guests gave top marks for the hotel's breakfast offerings. They enjoyed the flexibility of the staff, which allows for special orders. Guests say that they don't mind the lack of a buffet - the quality more than makes up for it.

Some reviewers were very disappointed by the lack of English fluency on the part of hotel staff. They said that even compared to other Thai hotels, the hotel employees were woefully uneducated in the language.

While some guests enjoyed the seclusion offered by this little resort, others bemoaned the lack of accessibility. Far from town and with little in the way of views, the hotel made some feel claustrophobic. And, those looking to diversify their vacation experience had little to do at such a distance from civilization.

Many reviewers, even those with negative views, liked the outdoor areas. However, several complained about the indoor environments, saying that the lighting was dull and inadequate. This contributed to a gloomy mood throughout the hotel.
