Hotel Ko Lan dengan Sarapan

Overall, I had a great stay at this resort. The location and service were excellent. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. There was also a golf cart shuttle available to pick up and drop off guests at the pier, which made arriving and leaving very convenient. The resort also offers motorbike rentals for 300 THB per day, which is a great option for exploring the island. The bed was very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, making the room cozy and relaxing. The only downside was the bathroom. It had a very strong musty smell throughout my stay, and it was quite unpleasant. If the resort could find a way to improve the ventilation or eliminate the odor, it would make the experience much better because everything else was wonderful. One more thing I loved was the adorable resort dog! It was very friendly and came over to keep us company while we were eating. I think he was hoping for some food 😂, but he was such a sweet, chubby dog that made our stay even more memorable. There were also a few kittens that came to visit us outside our room. They were incredibly cute and friendly. They looked like stray cats because they were very skinny, so we bought some cat food for them. They finished all of it right away and looked so hungry. It was heartbreaking to see, but they were absolutely adorable and made our stay even more special. I would definitely recommend this resort, and I hope the bathroom odor issue can be improved in the future.

Perfect getaway for a couple days, to be in the quiet and beautiful place. Deluxe rooms look new and modern, and personal roof terrace for each room makes the stay comfortable and relaxing. Soft sunbeds on the terrace and roof, covering from direct sun, let us stay at the place the whole day - we even did not go to the beach one day. We had the beautiful seaview from our terrace and we even could swim in the sea from the hotel’s private pier (it has usable ladder, which goes directly to the deep water). The staff was really kind and attentive, helped us with all our “specific” requests. If you stay here for the New Year night - it’s also the perfect place to watch the main island’s fireworks show at midnight! We enjoyed it! Absolutely recommended!

We stayed on Koh Larn for two nights after a long time in Pattaya and before heading back to Bangkok.  Samanta by the Sea was a great find, and we enjoyed our stay very much.  The room was a great size, and it was even better that the hotel was only 5 min (walking) from the pier.  We were greeted by the owner and shown around. His friendliness and happiness were astonishing and so genuine. Getting free noodles, bread, and coffee 24/7 was a lovely touch, too.  We can only recommend Samanta by the Sea and will stay here heapily again. 

The hotel is pretty small and simple. Clean enough to live comfortably. Free motorbike was a nice touch. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. My main disappointment though was with the location. Koh Larn (coral Island) was indeed quiet and comfy, but it barely had any corals, most of the reef was dead and in pieces. Probably too many tourists or has to do with too many boats and jetskis zooming around the island. There was also too much trash on the beaches (we've tried all of them and only a couple of them were clean). Parasailing was lame, heights nowhere near exciting and it finished within 5 minutes. All in all, best to get a snorkeling tour on other islands or try parasailing or jetskis elsewhere. It's cheaper and more fun

We stayed here for one night as a family. The hotel may suit travelers looking for a very quiet and secluded location, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The reception appeared to be unattended from early evening onwards, so whenever we needed assistance we had to call the emergency phone numbers provided. We had to do this because there was a very large cockroach in our room. To their credit, the staff arrived quickly and removed it. At 5:30 a.m., we were woken up by loud barking from stray dogs just outside our room. Surroundings: The beach has many rocks in the water, so swimming was not as enjoyable as we expected. Unfortunately, our daughter cut her foot on the rocks while swimming. By the evening, almost everything nearby was closed, making it difficult to find dinner. The staff we met were very polite and did their best to help when contacted, but overall the combination of the rocky beach, limited facilities, lack of evening services, insects, and early morning noise made this stay uncomfortable for our family. This place may be a good choice for travelers seeking peace and isolation, but families with children should carefully consider whether it matches their expectations.

The place was great to stay. Hotel pick up and drop off from the pier. The pier is about a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk. Hotel has bikes on site for rent.

We originally booked 3 nights at Tawaen Beach Resort and ended up extending for another 3 nights — and honestly, that says everything. This is not our first stay. We were here six months ago, stayed in the same resort, and deliberately came back again. Consistency matters, and Tawaen Beach Resort delivers it every single time. The staff are outstanding — professional, genuinely kind, attentive, and always accommodating. You feel welcomed, respected, and taken care of from the moment you arrive. The food and coffee pricing is very reasonable, especially compared to neighboring resorts where prices feel exaggerated and borderline absurd. Here, you actually feel you’re getting value without being taken advantage of. Cleanliness deserves special mention. The hygiene standards are truly top-tier resort level — rooms, lobby, common areas — everything is spotless and well maintained. This is something many resorts on the island fail at, even if they look nice on the outside. Location? Simply unbeatable. You step out of the resort and within seconds, you’re standing in front of a magical turquoise-blue sea and perfectly clean, soft white sand — genuinely one of the best beach fronts in Koh Larn. They have beach lounges and chairs where you can relax all day, and the beach staff constantly adjust the umbrellas as the sun moves — a small detail that makes a huge difference. Service is attentive without being intrusive. What truly impressed us: Over the past few weeks, we met multiple couples (not one, not two — FOUR) who stayed at nearby resorts and had nightmare experiences — poor hygiene, bad rooms, disappointing service. After visiting our room, lobby, and seeing the standards at Tawaen Beach Resort, they immediately canceled their bookings and rebooked here. That alone speaks volumes. We live just outside Pattaya and come to Koh Larn almost every month. One thing is absolutely certain: We will never stay anywhere else. Ever. The pricing is very fair, especially compared to the nonsense prices next door that don’t deliver even half the quality. Try this place once — and you’re hooked for life. We proudly consider ourselves lifetime clients. Couldn’t ask for better. Period.

Nice collection resort right by the pier dropout, located was good, they have motorbike rental if needed for 500 baht big bikes. Mimi breakfast area with the basic breakfast.

Everything is top notch. In hotel premise is a good spot to take photo too. Breakfast is provided and no limit for extra food. Bike is available but have to add 300 baht for the whole day use. When is the time to check out, they provide the service to send you to the pier. Just would be better if they do provide iron. Anyway i will come to stay in this hotel again if i woild visit Koh Larn

Love the location and also the breakfast is really good . The staffs are also very friendly and nice . It would be better if they provide toothpaste and toothbrushes . I would definitely choose this again if I had chance to come again
