Baan Laimai Beach Resort & Spa – SHA Extra Plus

Baan Laimai Beach Resort & Spa – SHA Extra Plus Overview

You know what struck me first about Baan Laimai Beach Resort & Spa – SHA Extra Plus? The name sounds way more complicated than the place actually feels. I mean, honestly, once you’re there sipping a drink by their pool, you’re not thinking about all those extra words – you’re just thinking this is a pretty solid four-star spot that doesn’t try too hard to be something it’s not.

The resort sits right on the beach (and I mean right on it – like, stumble-out-of-your-room-in-flip-flops-and-you’re-in-the-sand close), which is honestly the main reason to stay here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though nothing that’ll blow your mind – think modern Thai style with dark wood and cream linens, plus those little touches like elephant-shaped towels that somehow never get old. The air conditioning works like a dream, which, let’s be real, is what actually matters when you’re dealing with that tropical humidity. I stayed in one of their sea-view rooms and could hear the waves at night, but it’s the good kind of ocean noise, not the jarring kind that keeps you up.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to genuinely care without being overly formal about it. The spa treatments are decent – not mind-blowing, but the Thai massage I got definitely worked out some serious travel knots. The breakfast spread is pretty generous too, with both Western and Thai options (their pad thai at breakfast is actually surprisingly good, though I know that sounds weird). The pool area gets busy around mid-morning when families start filtering down, but if you’re an early riser like me, you can basically have the place to yourself. One small thing that bugged me – the wifi can be spotty in some rooms, so if you’re planning to work remotely, maybe mention that when you check in. They seem to know which rooms get better signal. Overall, it’s one of those places where you feel like you’re getting honest value for your money, which honestly isn’t always easy to find these days.

• Jason from United Kingdom (8/10)

  breakfast was good , lots of options, Thai, Western.
  Our room was a fabulous size ( very big) facing the main beach street, and we could smoke on the balcony.
  pool area is pleasant and patong beach is just over the road with plenty of sun lounges or chairs and umbrellas to rent around 100Bhat per chair, lots of action to watch on the beach and although you get lots of sellers coming by a simple pleasant "No thanks " and they left you alone.
