"If you have come to Lamai to relax and enjoy the beach, Lamai-Wanta has all you need, plus a small on-site clinic." Full review
"Located in the center of Lamai Beach, this little complex of clean and contemporary cottages complements a cluster of rooms in a two-story hotel block." Full review
"Close to all the action in Lamai, but far enough to be quiet and still directly on the beach, this recently renovated hotel is quite clean and comfortable."
"Welcoming, well-placed hotel with a seductive beachfront swimming pool and a good restaurant."
"The pool area feels a bit retro, with its swatch book of beige- and blue-toned tiles, but in the back there are modern motel rooms and bungalows that have fresh coats of white paint."
Mid-Range
"The mid-range Lamai Wanta has an excellent beachfront location within walking distance of bars and restaurants, and a short drive from popular sights." Full review
