Compare Hotels with Parking in Ko Lanta

Royal Lanta was a fabulous place to stay due to its beachfront position, large room and great breakfast.

We had a wonderful week at Layana leading up to our marriage at the end of our stay. Shout out to Gae who I communicated with on a regular basis prior to our trip and during. She was more than pleasant and helped organize the perfect wedding. Nothing was a problem or too much of an ask. Frank, the manager, was our master of ceremonies. He was dressed in an all white captain suit and delivered a beautiful script. There was a little hiccup the day prior to our wedding regarding preparation but Gae and my makeup artist Way, saved the day with amazing help and service. The resort is quiet and serene. The food was delicious and the pool and beach amazing. They have special dinners daily as well as à la carte and once a week they have a white evening, cocktails on beach. One of the activities we went on was a day trip picnic on a longboat to a small island. Saw beautiful scenery, ate great food, swam in warm clear water and had an opportunity to stop and feed monkeys. We had done an 4 island tour from Krabi but wished that would have waited and did the Layana cruise instead. They pick you up on beach in front of hotel and have a lovely boat! Worth the extra cost as our tour was crowded and not that enjoyable! I could go on and on but in the end it was a memorable experience that will be remembered.

The staff are lovely and very friendly. The food we had was nice. Breakfast was a basic selection, eggs, 2 thai dishes, salad, pancakes, chicken, sausage, pancake, fruit, cereal and cakes. All the restaurants on the island close at 9pm. I think the stretch of beach at the hotel was the nicest we saw. The room was nice and big. Electricity to the rooms shuts off between 10am and 3pm. There is a small playpark. If staying here make sure your boat drops you at Fantasy. Boats stop outside the hotel

The hotel is excellent value for money - Great rooms, big and well maintained pool, nice spa/massage parlor (which is a little more expensive than the local norm) and the beach on our doorstep. Breakfast is varied and good quality. The staff speak very good English at the reception and are very helpful. On the quieter side of the island, perfect if that’s what you are looking for. The main pier for speedboats is about 40 mins away (if you are interested in day trips). The local beach is really fantastic - clean, nice sand, great water (good for kids) and beautiful sunsets. If you want nightlife and shops, the closest is 15 mins away at Khlong Nin.

The room was lovely and spacious with a good shower. The pool was clean and big. The beach area and bar were also nice. When arriving and walking through the resort some of the communal areas could use some TLC but the main features are well kept. Good location for the beach and under a 200 baht taxi to Saladan pier.

We asked on the first day of our 3 day stay if the could fix the shower. They shower never got fixed. Then we could smell the septic system (poop smell) all day long in the room. we needed up closing the door to the bathroom and running the fan all day, everyday while there. I would not recommend.
