After five days in Hong Kong for a city stay, I arrived at the ocean side in Thailand on the island of Koh Samui. Usually staying in Marriott properties, for this stay, I went to discover the luxury hotel chain Anantara and, more precisely, the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort<\/a> before spending my last two nights on the island at the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anantara<\/a> hotels are part of a loyalty program called GHA Discovery<\/a>. The program also includes more than 40 independent hotel brands in over 100 countries, including NH Hotels and Avani Hotels & Resorts.<\/p>\n

However, this program is not affiliated with any bank but is based on several nights and a spending amount per calendar year. So to use points and save on your stay, you can use your Aeroplan points by booking through the Aeroplan website. Aeroplan points can be earned with the ®<\/sup> Aeroplan®<\/sup> Visa Infinite* Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/td-aeroplan-visa-infinite-card\/\">TDMD<\/sup> AeroplanMD<\/sup> Visa Infinite* Card<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n

Another way to save with points when booking an independent hotel<\/a> is to use points accumulated with certain credit cards against an account credit.<\/p>\n

These include the Platinum<\/sup> Card®<\/sup> from American Express<\/a>, the National Bank World Elite Mastercard®<\/sup><\/a> and the CIBC Aventura®<\/sup> Visa Infinite* Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort<\/a> is located in Bophut in the continuity of the famous Chaweng Beach, where the nightlife is mainly located.<\/p>\n

Reaching the hotel will take you no more than 7 minutes by car from Koh Samui Airport (USM). For this purpose, the hotel offers a shuttle service at 600 THB. Also, at the airport exit, you will find private cabs (400 THB per car) or shared shuttles at 120 THB per person. Being alone for this stay, the shared shuttle was the most economical way for me. However, I was lucky because I was the last person to board. Otherwise, you have to wait for the car to fill up, and that’s not necessarily what you want to do when you arrive on vacation.<\/p>\n

Despite its proximity to the airport, the Anantara Lawana hotel is tranquil; I was never bothered by the noise of the planes.<\/p>\n

As soon as I got out of the car, the valet took charge of my luggage and announced my arrival by sounding the “Gong”, then another valet escorted me to the reception for check-in. While the receptionist was doing my check-in, I was offered juice and a refreshing towel. It was pretty pleasant and refreshing after a 7 AM departure from Bangkok.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, I was told that I had been upgraded to an Anantara Pool Access Villa when I originally had a reservation in an Anantara Pool Suite.<\/p>\n
