My wife and I just returned from Layana Resort after a 5 night stay. This was my third visit to this property, my last being in Sept 2010. The new ownership continues to strive and maintain a very high level of service for one of the most beautiful physical layouts on Koh Lanta or anywhere on the islands in Thailand.... More

The number of 5 star reviews on here speak for itself. This place is paradise and we didn't want to leave. From start to finish we were treated superbly. Staff were attentive, room was lovely, the grounds amazing, breakfast and dinner fab, pool was beautiful....need I go on. It was just amazing and I would highly recommend the Layana resort.... More

My wife and I stayed at the Layana for our honeymoon and it was amazing. We started off the trip with two days in Bangkok, and then two days in Angor Wat before heading down to Ko Lanta, so we were ready to kick back and relax. The hotel did not disappoint. The grounds are kept so well, and the... More

I'm currently sitting in my amazing garden pavilion room which is huge with an incredible bathroom and terrace, with wonderful aircon keeping me cool while I relax after a day at the pool. This place does live up to the hype. My new wife recently wrote a review titled "not amazing" which pointed out a few improvements that could be... More

I'm here right now on my honeymoon so while its storming outside, I'm taking the chance to write a review. This is the third and final stop after bangkok and krabi after staying 5* all the way. Ill start with what's good about the resort- The grounds are impressive, the staff to out of their way to say hello, chat... More

It's the best hotel I've stayed over the years that I've travelled and the most cost-effective one among luxury hotels. Everything is perfect, from the first greeting, decoration and little details of rooms, service and friendliness, breakfast, beach, the library, spa, etc. I can find no fault with anything. And it costs around only 150 euros per night for all... More

Let me say first off that we had a wonderful stay at Layana. Our plan for our holiday this year was a quiet re-charge and Layana is a lovely spot for that. A small hiccup on arrival when our booked transfer from the pier did not show up - it is a short ride to Layana and we got a... More

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a tour round asia. This was the start or our relaxation week after being very busy the first part of the holiday. Everything was brilliant we were really impressed! We paid for the transfer from the airport (roughly £100 for both of us, if not a bit more if I remember... More

Layana has a lot of good things going for it (you can go through the other reviews if you need to know more), but it's far from being the best hotel on Koh Lanta. A lot of people I met consider the Layana to be a competitor of the Pimalai but they are not. I got the chance to stay... More
