Stayed in Varinda for 6 days. Was travelling with a sister and her husband, so we booked a Family house. All our expectations (and they were quite high after looking at resort's web sight) were exceeded. Friendly atmosphere, 5 min walk from the beach (yeah, on the way back had to climb up the hill, but the view worth it),... more

This was perfect for us, our first trip to Thailand. We are living in Dubai so the sight of trees and green was amazing and to be totally surrounded by it was a dream come true. However with trees and water come mozzies so spray and burners are a good idea. Rooms were very nice however an actual functioning bath... more

Hotel is located up a hill quite a distance from the beach. Food was excellent but overall the hotel was a bit cramped and felt a bit caustraphobic. The villa next to us was being renovated to some extent. Every morning there were guys with chainsaws cutting wood etc. Seems pointless having a hammock on your veranda to relax when... more

The hotel was set on a hill on the outskirts of Lamai's main road - with a 5/10 min walk to... more

It was through Elegance Travel of Southwark Bridge Road London SE1 - I only located them through the... more

We visited Varinda last summer and I have to say that it really was worth going. Gardens were beautiful, and so were bungalows. This is really fantastic and romantic place to go. The view from the pool all over Lamai beach was something amazing. During low season there was no buffetbreakfast but only a menu, but that was good enough. more

Varinda Garden Resort, Koh Samui, Thailand Date: 28.04.08 Reviewer: Ingrid, Lancashire UK Situated in Lamai not far from the airport, which is so beautiful and a real treat if your landing from Bangkok. We stayed at the Varinda for 6 nights. It is very 'Luxury Thai' with lots of nick nacks in the room, very spacious, with a joining corridor... more

We stayed 3 weeks in Varinda Garden. Staff very helpful and friendly. Family run resort with fantastic garden setting. Individual bungalows are big and very clean. The pool area was very relaxing with great views. It was a 5 to 10 minute walk down steep steps to get to Lamai main street and beach. Although Lamai main street did have... more
