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

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

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

Loved every single thing about this amazing hotel. Can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! Travelled with my boyfriend last year and stayed in a garden view room.

This was the last leg of our honeymoon and what a way to end it. Layana is just simply amazing. The transfer to the resort was quick and once we arrived we were greeted by the wonderful staff with flower necklaces, cold drinks and ice towels.
