About the hotel:
Wonderful resort - friendly, peaceful, luxurious, absolutely stunning surroundings. Only 50 rooms so always sun beds available, staff were very attentive and welcoming. Perfect location for chill out holiday, particularly a romantic getaway. Great tours on offer, excellent spa and massages available on the beach. Food in restaurant was very good but there are also many good restaurants and bars a short stroll along the beach or 10 minute taxi ride to town of Saladan. Loved every minute of the holiday, left feeling totally relaxed and refreshed.

About the hotel:
My husband and I stayed at the Layana Resort for the last 4 nights of our honeymoon. We both had a great stay. The villas are lovely and clean and the staff are all very warm and friendly. We were greeted by the manager as we got off the speed boat and had champagne and chocolates in our room as part of the honeymoon stay. It was our 1st time on Koh Lanta and altough slightly quiter than some of the other islands it was very peaceful if you want somewhere relaxing to stay. I would highly recommend the Layana resort to stay in. I loved it.

About the hotel:
Wonderful hotel, fantastic staff, great food and cocktails! We had a 2 storey ocean Pavillion, which was just great (ask them to make up the day bed with sheets and pillows etc. if you have one). The upstairs was great for watching the sunset and storms late at night. Shame the couple next to us didn t realise that you can see what s going on upstairs next door!!!!!!! Room was so clean, towels changed twice a day, air con not quite cold enough. You could get a bit stir crazy in the Layana, but turn right on the beach and make your way to the Funky Fish and Zone bar. Mr Wee s Pizza was fab. We were at the Layana for Songkran, and they made it really special (every guest had a water pistol) and it was a joy to celebrate with the wondeful Thai people who enjoy just being with and having fun with you! Great diving at Hin Daeng, although the dive instructor took us deeper on our second dive and we didn t have long enough of a surface interval, so ended up doing a decompression dive. This was fine, but then the Dive Instructor was out of air and had to share the air for the next 30 mins of the dive!!! Luckily my husband and I are experienced and very good with air. The Manta s were huge and amazing. We ll definitley go back to the Layana next year to see Bang-On (yes, that was really her name!!!!!). Glad we chose here and not the Pimalai - there s no escape from the hotel there!

About the reservation service:
Fab as usual!
