Fiona stayed at Pimalai Resort & Spa on 02/19/2006 and said,  "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."

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"

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."

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."
