Samanta By The Sea

The guesthouse is a short walk away from the main market square and Na Baan pier where passengers disembark from Pattaya, and the rooms are functional yet very cosy and well furnished. The hosts are extremely welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay on Koh Larn as straightforward as possible. They also do a fantastic complimentary breakfast which was greatly appreciated. We very much enjoyed our stay at Samanta by the Sea and would highly recommend any travellers staying on Koh Larn to book here!

First, I want to mention that I didn’t stay in this property as when I arrived there, there was no power in this area as well a major part of the island. I had the possibility to drop my bag and to rent one of their motorbikes which is a good deal as the price includes a full tank of fuel. After a yummy lunch outside in a local sea food restaurant (without power) I came back to the property to check-in but still no power and despite the lady told me that it will come back to normal soon but not able to confirm when and as it was a very short stay (inly one night), I did prefer to go back to the mainland. I did spoke over the phone who seems to be the owner who understood the situation and I just paid for the rent of the motorcycle. It seems to be a lovely, cute, comfy, green little place. Wish I can stay but with no power which means no water too as it is connected and as it was a short trip. Thank you for their hospitality and definitely recommend it based on this unusual experience.

Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Motorbike for rent is avialable. location is quiet and perfect walking distance from Ban Hai pier. Close to restaurant, 7eleven and the night food market near the temple with cheap local food and sea foods. There is a small alley leading to the beach with picture perfect view of sunrise. Unlimited coffee and instant noodle free of charge. Breakfast was sumptous and amazing!!! Bed is so comfy. Room is big.

Very nice, local guest house / hotel. The rooms are just simple concrete construction, but clean, well appointed rooms. It's suuuuuuper quiet at night, which was great. It's the best sleep I've had in a month. It's not on the water, and actually, that area of the island isn't great even when you walk just up to the beach out the back way, but it's close to the center, which is nice. One really nice touch is that even in a small place like this, they have drinks in the fridge if you feel like a late night beer in the garden area (all rooms face a nice, quiet garden area). And an even nicer touch is that they have free mama-Thai and Ovaltine etc 24 hours. That was awesome when we found ourselves snacky at midnight -- just made a cup of mama Thai. Breakfast was simple...toast, fried eggs, and chicken kaao-dom (super yummy). I live in Jomtien, and I'd go there again for a weekend just for the quiet room and the kaao-dom in the morning :)

the breakfast was good and they had so many complementary goods that you could take throughout the day. the people running the hotel were extremely nice and so welcoming! they helped us with any questions and were always eager to make our stay better. the beds were huge and very comfortable and everything was clean.
