We spent a week at Pimalai in early March on the recommendation of our son, who lives in Koh Lanta. we had a wonderful time and found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was a pleasure and the dinner entrees were among the best I've ever had. A light crusted grouper dish was particularly outstanding.... More

We chose the Pimalai primarily on location and price. We wanted to be away from all the hassle of the touristy parts like Phuket and Kho Samui. We flew from Bangkok, which we used as our hub while traveling for two and half weeks, to Krabi. We had booked our transfer through Krabishuttle which worked well. It is a bit... More

My wife and I returned from Pimalai last week at the end of a three week Thailand trip and I must say it was absolutely delightful. We had a week there and will definitely be returning for two next year. The arrival transfer went very smoothly with a seamless boat launch making it a little special. We had a gorgeous... More

I booked to go with my sister and friend as a treat. We stayed in one of the cheapest rooms at around $300. I have to say the room was very nice but not worth $300 dollars. The resort was incredible though. If you have money to spend stay in one of the places over looking the beach or on... More

My wife and I stayed at the Pimalai Beach resort near Krabbe in Thailand three years ago. We took a flight from Bangkok to Krabbe where the hotel car was waiting for us. It was a 30 mts car drive followed by a wonderfully scenic speedboat ride. Another hotel taxi was waiting for us on the other side to take... More

Don't bother looking further if you're looking for the best hotel on Koh Lanta, the Pimalai is it. I'm not going to list the good things about the hotel (it's just great), but here are the negatives: - the food & beverages prices are a rip-off. There isn't much around either and the few restaurants available have somewhat adjusted to... More

Planes, buses and boats......but worth the effort to get to. A stunning location. The staff are friendly (the spa's head honcho lady a bit of a dragon, but means no harm!) Stayed in a hillside villa. Was incredible accommodation, secluded and everything thought out to make the stay enjoyable. Food was lovely and amazingly good value, and of course you... More

We just booked a return visit, got a great deal again with Andaman Adventures, significantly lower-priced than Agoda and the hotel website, plus we don't have to pay all-up in advance. We came here a couple of months ago as part of a beach holiday with the same agency, that time we visited several islands but for the next trip... More
