Stayed here for 4 days at the end of October in 2012. I was travelling with a friend and we had a room each to ourselves. It is a charming little boutique establishment, run by 2 aussies, if I remember correctly. Rooms are modern and very clean, staff are really attentive and friendly. We only ate there for breakfast, which... More

Great location as it is right in the heart of the area. With everything you need and the beach only 5 minute walk away. The staff were AMAZING! The pool unfortunately is TINY and we only used it to dunk in to cool off but we were grateful that it was there. The whole layout is great and it is... More

The description resort is debatable as for me this implies space and openess. This lovely guesthouse is located in a compound off the main road in a beautiful tropical garden and there are only 7 guestrooms housed in an L- shaped building. However be aware that if you have problems walking, the stepping stones and pebble pathways could pose some... More

This place needs some love! And some serious upgrading. Really bad food and small portions at high prices. In fact the restaurant had obviously run out of food so just sent replacement dishes?? We were so disappointed after eating here we would not stay.

We stayed here 3 nights, the rooms are quite spacious and very clean, the hotel area is very small but well kept and nice to sit out and have breakfast. Just a few minutes from the beach and a nice cool although very small pool. The owners David and Glen are very much on site and David was particularly friendly... More

We found Ancient Realm at the end of an alley after spying a sign advertising a Massaman Curry (a personal favorite) as the chef's specialty. We were met by the Australian owner who was, to his credit, welcoming, friendly and very informative. We decided to give his restaurant a try and now wish we had bypassed that little alley altogether.... More

We didn't have a bad time at ancient realm but for us personally it was not an ideal place to stay while on koh lanta. Positives- Spacious clean rooms with nice decor Pretty outdoor area with lanterns Just 5mins to beach and other restaurants Good efficient air con Friendly owners Nice quiet and clean beach nearby Negatives- I mistakenly thought...

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ancient Realm. Having stayed a few nights on a more developed beach farther north before our stay here, we really enjoyed the serenity that awaited at Ancient Realm. Although our previous place was directly on the beach, we still spent a good part of our days there on the motorbike exploring the island.... More

From perfect hosts to friendly staff, large pretty rooms to sparkling pool, delicious dining to refreshing cocktails, the ancient realm has it all. The resort is small, just 8 rooms, the pool is large enough to refresh yourself in, a sandy area to wriggle your toes in whilst eating or enjoying an evening drink, the palm trees are decorated with...
