Hotel Pantai di Ko Lanta Yai

We have been coming to the Pimalai for 20 years and it never fails to deliver. We were lucky enough to spend 15 days at the resort this time, and it just seems to get better and better. Its hard to put your finger in what makes The Pimalai so unique. It has a genuine rustic Thai charm, combined with the efficiency of a well run Western hotel. The balance is perfect and never disappoints. It could be the stunning beach, the tranquil setting, the crystal clear waters, the fantastic food or the delicious cocktails at happy hour that make it so amazing, but I think it’s actually the incredible staff that really make you feel like you are one of the family, that really sets this place apart. The staff can not do enough for you. Even the gardeners (who work tirelessly to keep the grounds looking beautiful) stop to say hello when you walk past. There has been a change of guard since last year. The lovely French Manager Franck has handed over to the equally charming new French manager Brice. The transition has been seamless and the hotel is in safe hands. We managed to do a few things this time that we’ve never done before. I did a wonderful Thai cooking class with the head chef. What an experience. One I’d recommend to anyone. We also did a sunset snorkelling trip to Koh Ha. This was spectacular. The fish we saw were incredible, an the guys on the boat were so helpful. Then followed by a sunset cruise back to the hotel. Just WOW!! As always the food in the restaurants was delicious. I get the feeling that it’s only going to get better with the new food and beverage manager putting his mark on the menus. As always, we didn’t want to leave, and we can’t wait to get back.

Arrived with a 3-day booking and within a day had extended to 10-days. I found this resort beautiful with lovely spacious bungalows, and a fabulously designed bathroom/shower. The staff could not have been more friendlier or helpful with everything. The pool was a great size, next to the beach, with stunning views whilst swimming. All the food and shakes were delicious and at great prices. We rented a bike from the resort for our whole trip, and was close to everything. Fresh shower/beach towels everyday. The island itself was beautiful and if I ever return I would stay here again.

Finally got a chance to stay for a couple of days, prices have been slashed and two nights including breakfast was less than a single night in low season before Covid. We had the first day all to ourselves, no other guests, drawback is that no restaurant open for anything other than breakfast. Room was beachside and showing its age a little but clean and everything working. Be prepared to exercise if you have beachside room, the walk to anywhere is uphill and I do mean uphill, gives you exercise before you get to the pool. Overall very good, not five star but excellent value.

酒店服務非常好，都很熱情，看見人就給我們打招呼。我媽媽過敏，幫我媽媽把全套有香味的床品全部都換掉了，房間非常乾淨整潔，所有的房間都可以看見大海，我發現最小麪的別墅房的海景會被遮擋住一部分，但是山上的更好一點。我的房間在最上麪，媽媽是第一排正對沙灘，景色很好。 酒店一個游泳池一個餐廳，環境很安靜漂亮，在一個小海灣裏，浪不大適合下水。餐廳的食物做的很不錯，價格也不貴，和我去鑽石懸崖餐廳去吃差不多的價格，我們在酒店裡吃了三頓。 酒店有送去島內各地的車，每個地方都有價目表，我們包車半天四個小時，2500泰銖。去10公裡外的沙灘，單程400泰銖，我覺得價格也很可以。可以打電話叫酒店到沙拉丹碼頭接，這個是免費的，但是好像是不送的。 馬*雞要預約，非常便宜，泰式按摩手法很好，才600泰銖一個人50分鐘。而且麪對大海感覺非常好，按摩的大姐很仔細，會觀察你的各種表情來注意輕重。我爸爸提早給了100泰銖小費，居然給他多按了20分鐘。

蘭塔島這家別墅酒店真的太贊啦！首先老闆娘服務很熱情，並且酒店提供摩託車租賃，價格合理，出行也方便，老闆娘還幫我們預訂了離島去機場的車，準時來接我們。 酒店地理位置位於蘭塔島南部，距離國家公園，大象營地（摩託車10分鐘），711（摩託車3分鐘），海邊（摩託車5分鐘）都很近，酒店景觀優美，設施完善，別墅很大，適合家庭出行或朋友結伴出行的情況優先選擇，廚房很大，可以自行買食物做飯，晚上躺在躺椅上吹着小風喝着啤酒十分愜意，酒店院內有游泳池，水乾淨，24小時開放，日落時分十分出片。 總之是非常滿意的一次住宿體驗，下次來玩還會選擇這裏！

Brilliant hotel. Lovely rooms, superb staff. Great base for local trips as very near nature reserve. Much cooler than hotels on beach. We had basic room but will have deluxe next time. Loved the daily Yoga. Breakfast excellent. Nice pool and bar.

Alama was such a good surprise! All my top options were fully booked and by taking a look at the photos online, I expected quite an average stay/accommodation. But to my surprise, Alama was better than expected and I might consider coming back. I booked the Suite with Garden View and it looked exactly like on the photos. I personally love the southern part of Koh Lanta so to me the location was perfect. There are so many nice bars and restaurants within walking distance, plus a scooter/car rental, a 7 eleven, ATMs and of course Kantiang Bay. Because Alama is so high up, it can be quite a walk to your room or to the pool/breakfast area but the view from there is just stunning and the perfect way to start your day. So hopefully you won't mind the steps either! Just know that there is no alcohol (but you can bring your own) and the toilet has a curtain and then there is a wooden door to the bedroom, so if you have privacy issues, I would not recommend it.

Such a lovely relaxing place with bungalows on the beach The bungalows is really comfortable and the staff is lovely You also have a bar ”why not bar” on the side with a restaurant just meters from the bar The beach with small boats just makes everything even better I highly recomend this place and I will for shure come back 🙏😁

This is such a nice place, quiet, close and close to nature. The beach nearby, we take a morning walk there every day. The villa is larger than we expected and the views, both from the balcony and the restaurant are simply amazing. Staff is so friendly and helpful, the ones in the reception speak English very well. They helped us with snorkeling tours and scooter rentals and the prices were good compared to what we saw on offer down the road. There is a good selection of restaurants nearby. Not a party area, so don't expect that. The breakfast has lots of options and is definitely recommended.

Großartiger Service, Roomservice, service im Restaurant, tolle Gerichte zu einem fairen Preis. Der Familienbetrieb ist wirklich sehr aufmerksam und erfüllt sofort alle Anfragen, egal ob Mietroller, Ausflug oder Wünsche nach einem speziellen Bungalow. Wir haben dort aus genannten Gründen zweimal verlängert. Die Aqua Bar ist ebenfalls super, sensationelle Cocktails, super Blick und eine extrem nette Barfrau. An dieser Stelle eine Dankeschön an Aobjang!!👍🥃
