Find Hotels in Koh Lanta, Thailand

"Pimalai was the fifth and final stop on our last trip to Koh Lanta. The resort arranged to pick us up for our check in. The location is distant from everything, but that is part of its charm. Despite being low season, the resort was virtually fully operational, although some construction was going on. The room was fabulous, with a stunning view. Price paid just over 5000 baht. Everything was perfect in the room with all details covered…from screens on the patio doors to welcome cookies and fruit. The property is magnificent. Both pools are idyllic. The food was great and breakfast was huge. The staff were friendly and accommodating. This is high-end luxury that we have never seen so well executed in Thailand. It is very difficult to get Thai staff to maintain these standards, so we give the management a tremendous amount of credit. The complimentary trip back tot the airport was also excellent, using a combination of van and speed boat. We have no complaints about this resort and think it is an excellent value and a truly “must-do” in Koh Lanta. We will return. "

"We really enjoyed our stay in the Rawi Koh Lanta. Koh Lanta itself was our favourite place we visited when we travelled to Phuket. We stayed at the Rawi over the xmas period which meant we paid a lot for a room, Way more than the rest of the year - so in terms of value for money our score would be higher if we travelled at another time. The hotel has immaculate grounds and great facilities including the pool and the beach front setting. The staff were lovely and it was our favourite breakfast on our break. Our only complaint was the food at the poolside was pretty poor - although it wasn't too expensive. I think this was one of the best places to stay on the island, right in the centre a short taxi ride from the action - I would recommend and would consider if I returned (which I hope to) to Koh Lanta. Perfect for families"

"My very first trip to Krabi- Koh Lanta and I was keen to get off on the right foot. I spent a lot of time searching for a good place to stay in Koh Lanta and aft a lot reading & research…Lanta Casuarina was a no mistake & the PERFECT choice! I was delighted with the warm hospitality, excellent breakfast and accommodation provided by Lanta Casuarina. My room was very clean, spacious,and very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and the shower was fantastic (warm water was always available in the shower area)but we did experience a little problem with the shower on the second dya which was fixed aft a phone call. Located in a great area & right on the beach where you can never miss the sunset! I would hihly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Koh Lanta . "

"We booked our stay at Royal Lanta to celebrate our one year anniversary, it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived the service was first class and we were even given a complimentary massage at the resorts day spa. The bungalows are beautifully presented with high ceilings and a huge bed. The location is close to the beach, Klong Dao, which is one of the best swimming beaches in Koh Lanta. The included breakfast was the best we had in our 7 week stay in Thailand. The Mountain View Pool was secluded and relaxing and there was also an infinity pool which was more popular with the families. The staff were always friendly and helpful and will arrange the hire of a motorbike or car for exploring the island if needed. The gardens and boardwalks separating the bungalows gave a feeling of complete privacy and were kept spotlessly clean. I hope to return to Royal Lanta Resort in the future. "

"Long Beach Chalet is the place to stay if you're in Koh Lanta. Not only is it very reasonably priced, the bungalow is spacious, comfortable and clean with good AC and strong wifi. There is a balcony in each bungalow and there is also some resting space at the bottom of each one with a hammock. The owners speak fluent english and go out of their way to help you. They organised transfers for us, we orginally booked a bungalow for three people in advanced but a few weeks before we flew out to Koh Lanta, we had an extra visitor and they went out of their way to organise extra beds in the bungalow as by then the place was fully booked. They made everything very easy for us, booked our day trips and organised hired vehicles for us. Breakfast was very good, a generous selection was available at their restaurant, The Three Mums, with friendly service. One of the mums came to speak to us in the mornings when we were having breakfast and made us some coconut pancakes on the side, they were nice! There is a small but clean pool in the centre of the bungalows with sun chairs. And a few miniutes walk and you see a nice stretch of beach with white fine sands, beach bars and massages! Going into the main strip of koh lanta where all the main shops were was also very easy. Public taxis are very affordable and are available and is a short 5-10 minute ride away. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this place to people. I loved Koh Lanta a lot, I will definitely come back to the Long Beach Chalet the next time I visit Koh Lanta. Many thanks"

"This was our second stay at the Layana, and it didn't disappoint! From the moment of our arrival we were greeted as returning family, and even recieved a bottle of champagne on the house! Our special requests made beforehand were covered during our check-in, and for any problems we are asked to contact the Hotel Owners! Service was impeccable, everyone so friendly and really going out of their way for you. We did venture from the Hotel for a couple of meals but the resturant is such good quality and resonable price, that really no need. Some people recommend another Hotel in Koh Lanta, but doubt that you would the special individial touches that really make the Layana stand-out as a truley ouststanding place."

"Our stay was the best we could hope for.after couple of years visiting all beaches from phuket,phiphi,samui,phangan,koh tao, sayang resort on ko lantas long beach became our dream come true. Great soft sandy beach,no rocks in water (can swimm without hurting yourself), simple yet very nice wooden bungallows in garden setting right on beah,whats totally necessary for our age (67yrs) are provided sunbeds in shadow,which isvrather a rarity on ko lanta beautifull beaches. Staff is extraordinary helpful and nice,it is for a reason that sayang gets so high ratings from gueats and i can only confirm those. So if you like nature,traquillity,prefer bungalows instead od big hotels and like to have breakfast in garden setting or dinners right on beach while watching sunsets,this is your place. If u borrow scooter,then u are totally free as of exploring other beaches or heading for dinner as there are hundreds of options within 10min drive,should u get bored by 2km long beach And its dozens of dinner/lunch options. We shall return for sure,not only to lanta,but specially to sayang."

"The Twin Lotus is a new, modern hotel in reduced but always pleasant design at Klong Dao Beach in Koh Lanta. We paid half of the regular price for a Deluxe Garden Villa and the room was well worth the money but I would not pay the double though. The bungalow style villas are spacious and tidy, the room service is discrete and effective, the staff is very friendly and always keen to help. Late check out wasn't a problem at all, although we only left at 3 pm. Downsides are that the level of English of the personnel is quite basic though and the service is not as attentive as I would expect for a five star hotel. The breakfast buffet was rich but with hardly any variety. Filling up bath room utensils like sanitary bags or complimentary tooth paste etc. did not happen, neither the laundry bags. On its webpage the hotel advertises a child free environment ('Please note: Twin Lotus Koh Lanta welcomes guests aged 18 years and over.') but there were lots of families with small children anyhow. As the hotel was not fully booked in late March/early April it did not bother us too much, but if you come in the main season and expect a calm environment you may be disappointed. The hotel bar closed far too early (around 9:30-10 pm), sometimes even before the restaurant, which is a pity if one would like to spend the evening chillaxing with a drink. The Beach Deluxe Villas may be more comfortable due to the fresh wind from the seaside. All in all, I would recommend the hotel, it is definitely one of the most luxurious ones on that beach, especially for the price we paid. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time! "

"The staff were so helpful giving us advice on where to eat, which snorkel tour to take, providing a free shuttle to the closest town, giving us a cot for our 6 year old at no extra charge. Our daughter loved the pool and being able to use the unicorn and flamingo floaties. Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent! The buffet breakfast was amazing. A mix of western and Thai breakfast choices. We enjoyed crossing the little creek to the north and getting 300 bhat massages at the local bar. The resort is a bit outside of town so it’s nice and quiet but you can’t just walk to town to check out shops and restaurants. Also Tuk Tuks are a lot more expensive at night and on average more so than in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Getting to the resort from the Krabi Airport we just hopped on a minivan taxi for 400 bhat/person. Our daughter was free. It took about 2 hours to get there with all the stops to drop off other travelers. We loved our time in Koh Lanta and wished we could stay longer!"

"Pros: Incredibly caring staff! Gave us a free upgrade to the Villa with private pool. (Travelling during low peak season). Out of our 6 days in Koh Lanta, we got 4 days of Sun & this Hotel has private access to Klong Dao Beach! The resort is FULL of massive swimming pools. Great for swimming around and drinking by the side of the pool. Staff is very caring & sweet. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped with DVD player and 42 inch lcd screens. Con: Wifi is not free. Try to get your room near their restaurant to enjoy free wifi. (Bigger pools are also opposite the main restaurant). Do not ask hotel staff for taxi to Krabi. Overpriced and non negotiable. Head down to the town and ask any one of the many tour booking agents. They'll give you the best price (2300-2500 baht to airport/Krabi town). It is 15 minutes walk from the closest markets (It has a small shabby market next doors but the main restaurants and shops are quite a fair distance away). My advice, get a bike for rental (got one at 160 baht per day for 5 days). Tuk tuk to main shops charge 100 baht (Which is a rip off but you cant negotiate cuz they have their charges written.). A pleasant walk down to the beach road 5 minutes away avoiding stray dogs and voila!! tuk tuk price is now 50 baht to the shops. "
