We chose Twin Lotus because it is adults only. It was romantic, peaceful, lovely, and we will definitely go back. We selected a room in the back as it was cheaper and we did not need to be on the beach. There are several,pools to choose from. The ine at the beach can get filled by 0830 but we always managed to get chairs with an umbrella. If you do not occupy your chair they remove the towel but leave your belongings. We took chairs that had a book on the side table. The book owner came and we explained no towels were on the chair. She knew the rules and said she would choose a beach chair instead ( along the beach are chairs but no umbrellas). We were thrilled she was so nice. The breakfast buffet is standard and plentiful. All the choices were delicious. No flies or ants anywhere. You may see an occasional meandering water monitor but they walk past you. The gym is immaculate and adequately equipped. The spa is wonderful with well- trained staff. We had dinner there a few times and the food was very good. There are places in the little streets behind the hotel and along the beach and next door, but Twin Lotus food was better though a bit more costly. Happy Hour drinks were good. We had a Go Dive snorkel dive tours to Koh Haa and a car ride to Old Town. Recommend both. The people in Old Town were exceptionally nice and the little museum is quaint. Eateries along their street are good. Allow two hours for Old Town not including the drive to and from. The next time we stay at Twin Lotus we will go to Phi Phi but have been before. Twin Lotus has many books to borrow located inside breakfast restaurant, There are buggies to drive you to and from your room or villa if you have mobility issues. Do not bring glass bottles or glass to the swimming pool. Any wait staff will give you a plastic mug or ”glass” to drink your beer or drink in the pool or at the pool. Please read the rules at pool entrance and follow them to keep yourself and others safe. The resort is mostly European people and everyone, young couples and older ones, singles, and all were cordial and respectful.

Rawi Warin Resort in Thailand hosted our destination wedding, and we were thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. As a couple from different countries who met in a foreign land but now reside together, we sought an intimate wedding with 33 guests. Rawi Warin stood out among the 20 resorts we researched on Krabi/Ko Lanta due to its remarkable beauty and elegant ambiance, ultimately leading us to book our wedding there. Throughout the planning process, the resort's communication was frequent and efficient, ensuring all our queries were promptly addressed. Upon our arrival three days before the wedding, we were struck by the well-maintained gardens, picturesque pond, and exquisite buildings, all of which contributed to the resort's appeal. The resort staff was undoubtedly the highlight of our experience, displaying genuine warmth and hospitality. They consistently greeted us with smiles and ensured our needs were met throughout our, and our guests stay. Rawi Warin's wedding package included essential elements such as decor, flowers, stationery, a wedding officiant, wedding cake and a wedding coordinator, making the planning process more streamlined. While an outdoor wedding was not possible due to weather conditions, the resort efficiently transitioned to an indoor setting, which turned out to be equally enchanting. The attention to detail in the wedding arrangements and the quality of service provided by the staff exceeded our expectations. The resort's pool was also a standout feature, and the surrounding natural beauty added to the overall allure. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Rawi Warin and its dedicated team for their contribution to making our wedding a memorable occasion. We recommend the resort for couples seeking a picturesque destination wedding experience.

Rooms were fairly spartan but comfortable and spotless. TV's exist but it's all Thai-language channels only of course that's not what you're coming here for anyways. Wi-Fi was spotty but there is good AIS 5G coverage. The room category I booked was garden-view but what I ended up in offered a lovely view of the ocean and had a huge outdoor terrace. Unfortunately the outdoor seating on the terrace was quite uncomfortable. Bed was great and I slept quite well. Weak water pressure in the shower was a little irritating. Beach was lovely and as an early riser, getting a seaside seat wasn't a problem. These loungers were actually fairly comfortable. Food was generally pretty good but walkable options on this part of the island are few and far between. There's not much beyond the hotel's facility and a couple of other local spots on the beach and on the main road. The location is generally remote whether that's a plus or minus depending on what you're looking to do here. Staff and service were very good. I got a load of laundry done here and was happy with the price and quality.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights with my girlfriend. Firstly the staff on the desk were very welcoming and collected our bags from the door and delivered them to our room. We were given a welcome drink on arrival and the check in process was effortless and very efficient. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The pool and beach were a 2 min walk from our door and the beach restaurant serves excellent food. There were no issues during our stay and I was able to rent a bike from the hotel reception which arrived in 5 mins which was also a very efficient service. After checking out a staff member dropped us to the pier where we continued our journey. Shortly after checking out the manager of the hotel (never got his name) emailed me to say I had managed to leave my €300 camera behind in the room. He rang me to organise how to get the camera back to me and went to the effort of bubble wrapping, and boxing up my camera to be delivered to Koh Phi Phi on the same day and rang me during each stage to keep me in the loop as to where my camera is. Once the camera arrived on the island he rang me to tell me where I was able to collect it. This level of customer service cannot go unrecognised and he asked for nothing in return. I can’t urge travellers enough to stay in this hotel. I will be returning 100%. Thank you very much Lanta Staff & Manager!

The resort itself is quite nice. It’s super peaceful, clean and has pretty much everything you need to enjoy the stay. Staff were generally friendly and willing to help. Of course, since it’s hard to hire more staffers during the pandemic, room cleaning and cooking understandably took longer time. It would be good to keep this mind if you order room services. Btw, there is a lovely cafe called Smoon near the hotel. We spent a lot of time there for coffee, western-style breakfast and lunch. The resort has a private beach, but it’s the best for kayaking, not for swimming or snorkeling. There are too many rocks near the shore and water visibility wasn’t desirable during our stay. The beach is good for sunset watching, though. For those who travel with little kids, it’s a good spot to find hermit crabs. For room tips, rooms with pool view are in a new building which provides bigger space and better internal designs. The seafront villas have better views, but they require a steep climb to get there.

This is a lovely hotel and a great relaxed resort. The best of both worlds. Room: We came for a family holiday (kids age 12,11,7) had a 2 bedroom villa, which was a good set-up. Nice size pool between the two rooms. Beach villa 507/507. 2 mins walk to the beach. Youngest slept in our room as worried about passing the pool in the night, but we knew this beforehand. Probably the best room set-up and location we’ve ever had. Pleased with this. Lots of wildlife.. monkeys, monitors, frogs.. we loved this. Food: we had Thai buffet which was good. Great selection at breakfast. Aside from this, we ate at local restaurants- which were very good. Head out of the hotel and turn right. At the end of the beach there is a little village - lots of little restaurants. All very quiet due to lack of tourists following covid. Don’t be put put off by the quietness. Everything is fresh and delicious and you will be totally spoilt. I really hope tourism recovers a little here - the local people are desperately in need of it. ‘Same but different’ shack on beach (out of. Hotel and turn left) is small, but good food for lunch. Rice and noodle dishes, stir/fry, fries, very reasonably priced Lassis/soft drinks and beer. We ate here every lunchtime as it was close to our villa and couldn’t have asked for better. Beach: The beach is public, but Pimalai side is very quiet. Complimentary kayaks and paddle boards etc. we had a lovely family time. Excursions: hotel organised excursions are great and reasonably priced. We did morning mangrove tour - our tour guide (Gun) was superb. We also went on sunset cruise with snorkelling - also great! Downside: On check-in, we had no orientation and very little info about the hotel when we arrived. We were told everything was on the app. However, there was no internet in the room when we arrived (I think an external problem) so we couldn’t access it. We felt a little deserted. This was not a big deal - but we had no map or any real info about the hotel and surrounding area. It took 2 phonecalls to reception to explain we had no idea where I’m the resort we actually were, and no idea how to get to restaurants/no idea of food choices at hotel. They brought us a map. We arrived in the late afternoon after a long journey from London via Phuket. Nobody suggested where we go for food. Nobody asked if we wanted to make a reservation to eat. We headed out of the room to find food- with 3 very grumpy, tired and hungry kids. We found that there was a Thai buffet at the hotel - but only knew about this as it was on the route out of our room to the lobby. Nobody mentioned this when we checked in and we wouldn’t have known if we were staying anywhere else on the resort. Advice for people with kids— avoid top section of resort/hillside if you want to be near beach. It’s a bit more of a trek. Both pools are lovely and nicely shaded. Overall a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

In July 2023, I was given an offer for a 34 night accommodation in a Deluxe Villa - I confirmed in August that yes I wanted to make a reservation and was sent the appropriate documentation. They wanted me to put my credit card information in an e-mail which I was uncomfortable doing. I decided to call and give them my credit card number and info over the phone. I did not hear from them so I sent another email asking when my credit card would be charged. I was informed that it didn't go thru and call my bank which I said I would do and then I get an email from their head office in Bangkok indicating they were working on a new gateway payment system and my reservation was guaranteed and I would be sent a payment link shortly. As I never heard back, I sent numerous emails without any further response to this date. Today, I found alternate accommodation

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.

My family, including two toddlers, recently spent two weeks at Southern Lanta, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. We opted for the sunset villa, which was definitely worth the extra expense compared to the family bungalows we initially considered. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the rooms were consistently clean (kudos to the diligent cleaners), and the pools provided ample entertainment for the kids. The proximity to the excellent beach, just a stone's throw away, was a definite highlight. Moreover, the location was ideal, with numerous restaurants within walking distance offering delicious food (with the exception of the pizza). A special mention goes to the staff who went above and beyond when we realized we had booked the wrong dates. Despite being fully booked, they managed to accommodate us, which we greatly appreciated. The atmosphere at Southern Lanta was perfect for families like ours, and we had the pleasure of meeting and befriending many other like-minded families. I would highly recommend this place to families with young children, although those without kids or with older children MIGHT want to consider their options. However, for this to be a perfect rating from me, there is one area that could use improvement - the gym. The facilities were subpar. The treadmills were inadequate for anyone weighing over 75kg and wanting to exceed 9 km/h, and the overall equipment quality left much to be desired. Additionally, the air conditioning in the gym was ineffective, making workouts uncomfortable. With some limited investments and minor effort, the gym could be significantly improved. Despite these minor flaws, our stay at Southern Lanta was overwhelmingly positive, and we would gladly return in the future (at least for as long as our kids are young).

Lovely little hotel, rooms are mini villas with balconies, very clean and lovely sea view. We got the sense that it hadn’t opened up fully after covid, we’re only a few other couples and a lot of the time we had the pool to ourselves Breakfast is fine but basic as they where catering for so few people when we visited. No restaurant on site so be prepared to travel out for lunch and dinner- fortunately there is a fabulous place next door called “Prits Friendly Bar” and the food is great and reasonably priced there Staff at the resort were all really happy and attentive, big shout out to Zom, lovely girl and couldn’t do enough to help!
