However the boutique resort is a short walk to Crystal beach, which is beautiful, and a short cab ride to Chaweng Noi beach, also beautiful. Both beaches are great for swimming. The chef at Lamai Bayview is excellent if you are not going off property for lunch or dinner. The staff team is warm and accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future."

The food available in the restaurants for lunch and for dinner, while tasty, is much higher in price without being better than you can get from any number of restaurants within 30 minutes. It was good, but I would get off campus for more meals if I come back. Everything else was completely top not."
