Linda Näsvall 2009-04-11	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Absolutely fantastic, would like to go back NOW!	Easy and very helpful!
jean-philippe beaumont 2009-03-31	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Fantastic. everything was perfect. Food at the hotel is very good and not so expensive compare to what other were saying on the different forum. Of course if you want to pay 3 USD for your meal do not go there but otherwise very reasonable.	Everything went well we just give the voucher and that was done! I will book again through this site as it is one of the cheapest one... I was scare to get the less good room but it was not the case we had what we requested ie upper room non smoking not to far from reception.

Berggren 2009-02-01	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach We stayed 5 nights at Pimalai in deluxe room which was comfortable but furniture was somewhat outdated. Not much of a cosiness factor around the hotel - this is a big complex and you are transported from one end to the other by a golf car (if you are too lazy to walk uphill). Breakfast is really good, service as well (professional but not very personal). There are a few restaurants in the complex with different food concepts - great if you want to vary thai food with fries or pasta. Also at European prices. We ate mostly at the local places around the hotel, offering 5 times cheaper good thai food. A restaurant called Same same but different at the local beach offers the best food on Kantiang Beach. The hotel pool situated high up on the hill is very nice and offers a splendind view. Overall, a nice hotel, but a bit overpriced in terms of room design -I´ve been to better 4 star hotels. This is however compensated by professional service and good range of hotel amenities.	efficient as usual
Josef Kewekordes 2008-10-25	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Beautiful hotel and exceptional staff. Wonderful experience. Good food and selection. Nice activities. All great except room smelled a little moldy. Housekeeping sprayed, but smell never went away. We borrowed an essential oil burner from the spa and it helped a lot. Some noise from longtails and little hotel trucks, but generally very quiet. Great diving.	Good service. Everything worked. I was surprised/disappointed that full payment was due in advance.
Tal 2008-08-07	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach The hotel was very nice; we insisted and were moved to a private villa. The hotel in general could use some updating and the beach was on the dirtier side. The transfer at $50US per person was a bit of a rip-off. Besides all that, nice place.	A bit cumbersome and the no change no refund is annoying.
Juan carlos miralles gonzalez 2008-05-01 until 2008-05-05	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach The best hotel I stay in my life. Everything was perfect. Higtly recomendet.
Hilary & Val - Australia 2008-04-21 until 2008-04-29	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Pimalai is a beautiful Resort built over a hillside. The accommodation is spacious and clean. It has a nice clean beach ideal for swimming. Their Seven Seas Restaurant is by far their best by way of the setting and table arrangements, service and the food is exquisite. The prices are what one would expect to pay at a 5 Star resort. There are insects that crawl out at night due to its location and we have to expect it. Whilst the staff have a poor command of English, they are very pleasant and ever willing to help and provide service. We stayed 8 nights and looking back, have no regrets at all.	Excellent
Bruce McNaught 2008-01-11 until 2008-01-19	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Probably the best hotel I have stayed at. Wonderful architecture and landscaping. Great location and beach facing exactly west so you can watch the sunset over Koh Ha. Close to the good Thai dive sites so you can complete the first dive before anybody else arrives.Would highly recommend.
Fiona Edwards 2006-02-19 until 2006-02-23	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach The hotel was artificial and was not sympathetic to the surrounding exotic wilderness that Ko Lanta is so well endowed with. The exceptionally noisy irrigation system, service vehicles, staff with crackling walky talkies, all contributed to polluting what should have been a beautifully exotic setting. The food was bland and over priced, which was our primary disappointment as we always look forward to enjoying good Thai food when we visit Thailand. We were previously staying in a family run resort in Ko Samui (Laem Set Inn)- the food was excellent, the hospitality second to none. It was not ruined by over development and an attempt at creating a false Thai ambience. The Pimalai would be fine for Florida or Dubai, however given the natural environment and the people that Thailand has been blessed with there is a need to develop resorts/hotels that are both sympathetic to its surroundings and allows you to savour Thailand at its natural best.	No Problem - excellent booking and payment service.
Mr.Bruno Ascencao 2005-09-19 until 2005-09-23	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Best hotel ever. Excellent location, rooms are impecable, staff is very professional, restaurant food is good although nothing to die for... to sum it up this is a dream hotel for a five night stay...i will truly recommend this hotel to all my friends	Excellent...very efficient and friendly...i have no complaint whatsoever...will book again through sawadee.
Anonymous from US 2005-07-13 until 2005-07-19	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach Pros: quite beautiful and well maintained, staff universally kind, helpful, hardworking. The food in the main restaurant was quite good. Lovely pool & beach. Great attention to detail in all respects. Cons: Once we walked through the gates, we lost the sense that we were in Thailand; we could have been anywhere -- the carribean, hawaii, etc. There wasn t anything particularly Thai about it. Restaurant prices were relatively high, averaging $65 US for two. Other resort services -- and singha -- were also expensive. Felt a little trapped (unlike most places, pimalai doesn t rent motorbikes) due to it s isolation. It tood a while, but we discovered that there was a good, cheap, beachfront Thai restaurant down the beach, which we enjoyed. It would have been nice if the sliding doors in the rooms had screens (and the rooms, fans), so that we could listen to the ocean on cooler nights. As it was, the waves were drowned out be the loudish air conditioners. We ll happily stay there again, but next time, we ll save money (and have more fun) by eating more meals elsewhere.	Very reliable & flexible. Allowed us to alter our reservation without hassles.

Nathalie Augustin 2004-06-30 until 2004-07-03	Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach A very lovely resort. I believe we got great value for the price. ALL of the staff, from the clerks at reception to the gardeners and everyone in between were friendly, welcoming, and genuine. I would highly recommend it to other travelers.	It was a very quick and easy process. Very efficient.
