Fantastic resort on the beach.
Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Jovi.
Food at the restaurant was also very good. Especially the sea bass.
I will definitely stay again.

Location, location, location. The resort is a little more out of the way and you do have to get taxis everywhere but the location makes up for that in spades.
With the bar right on the beach, dining and drinking were sublime. The staff were so friendly too and they make the best Long Island iced tea in Thailand!

Amazing hotel.
An amazing hotel in a great location. The team were very kind and helpful, particularly Kookai who went above and beyond to recommend local restaurants.
The food was fresh, beautifully presented and tasted great. Very good value for money.
Perfect location for our trip to ‘Walking with Giants’ which was the highlight of our stay.

We booked a beachfront villa. Amazing location. Simply beautiful and peaceful. The resort was lovely.
We were not impressed by the breakfast and chose to eat breakfast off resort 4 of 5 days.
We enjoyed happy hour specials at the bar and loved the music, and the seating arrangements. Our only complaint at the bar was the smoking policy. Unfortunately on several occasions, we would get comfortable at a table with a drink and other guests would smoke cigarettes or weed and spoil our visit. Thankfully we could retreat to our villa, but thought this was unfair.
It was so easy to hire a TukTuk or van at the hotel. We did many times and easily got around for a reasonable price.
We loved Ko Lanta!!

The resort was amazing!! We were shocked at how beautiful the scenery was, the ocean bar, and a little river that flows through the resort. But the best was customer service! I have never met such nice, caring, and sincere staff. They were always upbeat. My friend was in a moped accident and they went above and beyond to make sure she got everything she needed. Their English was also very good which was nice because they were willing to call the clinic for us, schedule us taxis, booked our ferry for us, and so much more. The location of the resort was also very nice. Would definitely recommend!

Staff, food, location and amenities are great. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The room we had located near check in, however, was not the best by any means. The walls are thin and the adjoining room door let in all the noise you associate with a 2 star hotel. You could hear every step the people above made. Our balcony was also directly in the line of sight for the walking path to the beach and restaurant. Every single guest in the hotel could look right into our room. Ugh.

Fabulous stay
We stayed in both the hillside huts and the pool access rooms. We loved our stay staff very friendly food was delicious. My only suggestion would be the beach/pool area could do with an update. more comfortable sun loungers, pool updated and more umbrellas. beach bar was lovely for sunset drinks. Great location and beach was beautiful.

Property is beautiful, especially down by the beach and it’s lovely to have a private beach.
Had one of the best meals ever for lunch, the grilled fish with garlic, pomelo salad and pad Thai.
The rest was lacking unfortunately. Rooms are minimal and bare, if you’re not fit it’s tough to walk up to the beachfront ones. Bed was comfortable. Toiletries in the shower were not refilled. And the staff are not attentive whatsoever at the restaurant, and if you need room service or help, you are supposed to text reception or the room service line but nobody answers. This put a damper on an otherwise enjoyable spot. Breakfast was good, and the staff were helpful in getting us a ride at checkout. With some small changes and a designated English speaker, it could be great.

Will come back!
We stayed on Koh Lanta for 4 days, the location is amazing, quite but not far from stuff to do. The service is okay. The food is great. The resort was taken over just 7months ago and for that it’s really good, looking forward coming back and to see what they made out of it. The rooms (sea view view) are very clean and the view is just amazing!
A highlight was the massage right on the water!

Absolutely loved this property! It was clean and absolutely beautiful!! The moon bar is the most perfect spot to grab a drink and watch the sunset. The main pool was cold and lovely. I would recommend the beach villas over the pool access suites though, that pool was quite warm. But 10/10 would recommend and stay again

Great location and views. Front desk very friendly and helpful. Our room wasn’t the cleanest when we checked in, little bits of rubbish still around the place when we first arrived which was a little disappointing. But minus that the place was fantastic.
