Negative Reviews
negative:
Not a lot within walking distance
Previous guests say that while the location is great for relaxing, it is a little far from other parts of the island to be able to explore too far on foot. Those reviewers say that renting a motorbike makes life easier and once they did so, they felt the location was excellent and provided the best of both worlds allowing them to make the most of their stay.
negative:
Ocean can be dangerous
Reviewers warn that Lamai Beach can play host to strong currents that make swimming too dangerous for children and weaker swimmers, particularly at certain times of year.
negative:
Animals can be smelly
Some previous guests draw attention to the fact that the on-site petting zoo can get a little smelly, though most were not negative about this, only mentioning it as an observation and a warning to future guests.
