Marina Beach Resort - SHA Extra Plus

This is a lovely hotel. Lovely staff. Perfectly located for everything you need. On the beach.

My best friend, Tony was staying here and I visited several times. It's really good and suits family and couples. Good price, clean, very friendly staff who knows their job roles.

Love this place. We've been here three nights and extended another week. Right on the beach. Pool off the beach with showers and foot sprayers. Very clean rooms and they clean them daily. We are staying in a Bungalow and it's perfectly sized and has everything we need. Walk to so many restaurants and stops. No need for a scooter but they do have parking if you have one. The only thing i wish is that they gave more pillows. If you are coming to Lamai beach definitely stay here!

The location is really nice, as it's right on the beach. The room is basic but good size. Unless you stay in the bungalows, noise from bars on street can be heard till really late (after 3 am).

Central area with practically everything around, if you don't sleep well with music this is not your hotel but if you like to party this is your hotel since you are surrounded by partying at night on the beach side and on the central street side, the hotel is located right on the beach depending on the room you choose the middle area would be best.
Normal pool but right on the beach next to the hotel bar with decent prices.

Location: short walk to lots of bars/restaurants but just out of the way so you cant hear any noise. 30 seconds to the beach but be aware there are those annoying Europeans who leave towels on chairs but hardly use them. The beach is clean here. Take mosquito spray in the evening.

I was given an upgrade to the B block - if you book a room in C block you will be closest to the road so may hear noise there. I was about half way between the road and the beach and couldn't hear any road noise at all, but the rooms have thin walls so you will hear other guests if they stay up late talking loudly.

Service was very good - room cleaned every day, bottled water etc all topped up daily. Motorbike rental just 250 baht a day, no deposit so book through reception for a much easier and safer booking experience. Very efficient and friendly staff.

The room is a good size and yes a little old but totally acceptable for me - i am not particularly fussy if I feel i am getting what i pay for and this hotel felt like excellent value for money, i'm happy i stayed there and would book again.

Ask for instructions on the safe as none are provides (press the reset button inside the back of the door, enter your new 4 digit pin followed by #).

Get the wifi password from reception as it isn't provided in the room.

*IMPORTANT*
Some renovation work is going on now (from 20th Dec) - a few rooms being renovated on B block so there could be noise between 9 or 10am to 6pm, check before you book!

Nice hotel to stay. The infinity pool just near the beach. The room so big & have wide balcony.

Location perfect 2 minutes to the beach, rooms a bit dated, quiet despite the proximity to Bangla, breakfast well there is the same thing every day, we will be back
