We only spent two days at the Baan Laimai but as we'd come from very basic huts on Phi Phi, this was a slice of heaven. The room was large, with an enormous bed and the bathroom was lovely with a proper flushing toilet and a hot shower!!! The air conditioning was quiet and efficient allowing you to forget how hot it was outside. The pool and sunbathing area was very attractive and perfect for swimmers but non swimmers only had a small shallow area (there were rubber rings floating around though).
The location is fantastic - walk out of the front door, across the road and you're on the beach - it was also far enough away from the sleazy bars that you didn't have to see that side of Patong if you didn't want to.
The staff were helpful and attentive, the concierge? carrying both our large rucksacks to and from the taxi when we arrived and left.
The restaurant and bar area are large, open air and attractive with lots of choice of food and drinks. The only negative aspect of the hotel in our opinion was the live band - they were so awful it was funny! - but everyone's taste is different.
All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel - we really enjoyed our stay there.
