Michelle stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2008-06-27 and said, "The hotel was very enjoyable, and the staff were extremely helpful, efficient and friendly. It was clean, comfortable and we felt very pampered the whole time we were there."

Angela stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2008-04-17 and said, "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."

Fiona stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2008-04-09 and said, "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!"

Lucy stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-12-20 and said, "Fantastic stay and cannot fault it at all. Service was amazing and great personal touches - fruit around pool, no charges for water bottles in room or at pool, free head massages at pool too!. Restaurant was great. A very relaxed and chilled hotel where nothing is too much trouble."

Emma stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-12-06 and said, "Fantastic hotel, great location, great food and the most amazing infinity pool! Would definitely recommend this hotel."

J stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-11-12 and said, "Incredible resort - best we saw in Thailand for combination of resort facilities - beach access, beach cleanliness, and staff/food quality - would choose as best of 5 places we stayed in Thailand."

BT stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-10-29 and said, "Hotel overall was very good. Rooms are big enough, clean and the bathrooms are modern and also very clean. Staff are excellent and service very good. Pool and gym very good, beach only average. Hotel food is also very good but pricey as you would expect. There are some cheaper eating/drinking places about 500m up the beach. Would recommend hotel, very good but not great value for money compared to other places I have stayed in thailand. Reasonable price for what you get but not a bargain."

Jamie stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-10-23 and said, "Beautiful, very helpful employees. Delicious food. Don t ever need to leave the resort."

David stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-10-15 and said, "Wonderful place. VERY friendly and courteous staff. A bit pricy compared to all the other places but worth every penny. One of the rare resorts which cleans the beach every morning from logs and washed up things... Great spa!"

Katie stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-10-07 and said, "truley fantastic Hotel, can t recommend enough."

Eric stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2007-08-29 and said, "Outstanding and professional work by an unknown staff (should have gotten her name!) as she sought to ensure our safe return from Saladan Town after nightfall (the roads were very dark.) It would have been nicer if the staff at the reception have had handled the return trip too when we asked for it while arranging our one-way transportation from resort to the town, but no major complaints there. Wonderfully furnished and luxurious rooms. Accomodating, efficient staff who sought to make the overall stay a comfortable and hassle-free one. Especially impressed by personal service of Margie (who appears to be the one of the management staff there) who attended to all the guests.The room we had was clean and beautifully furnished. The balcony view outside was satisfying. Feels good staying there."

The perfect place for a honeymoon!Starting from the worm welcoming and the room readiness (we had flowers, sparkling wine, chocolate and fruits) continuing with the beautiful pool and nice staff.We didn t leave the resort for 3 days and wished we could stay longer…We ll be back for sure!"

Sylvia stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2006-04-10 and said, "Great resort-style hotel. Serene, clean and beautiful. close by crystal clear beach. Food is delightful. Try Prad kapow and fried shrimp/fish cakes! yum! Well worth the 2-hrs land & ferry transfer to and from airport. Will definitely return."

Mr.Paul stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2005-12-24 and said, "Beautiful hotel, on a beautiful island right next to a beautiful beach. Layana is very new and has obviously had a huge amount of time and effort put into the planning and design and it really shows. Fantastic beach, pool and views from the bar and resturant. It is expensive to stay here in the first place, so maybe for many people the following may not be an issue, but we found all food, services and ancillaries such as laundary to be far more expensive than anyother hotel we have stayed at, although none were quite as high a standard as this one. So budget quite highly. Food is very European-orientated and we were slightly disappointed with the Thai side, but that may suit many guests.Very friendly owners and staff and all are willing even though some are new and going through a learning-curve - it may be a 5 star in facilities, position and structure but it is still in Thailand!Taxi from Krabi airport to Layana incl 2 very short ferry hops about 2,400 Baht per car and 2,200 on way back.Summary - absolutely wonderful get-away spot for a week with great facilities but budget towards a more European scale than Thai.Happy to answer questions pauldavid@hotmail.co.uk"

Sorcha stayed at Layana Resort & Spa on 2005-12-23 and said, "The Layana Resort & Spa was a delightful experience. Bob, Margi and Russell did everything within their power to make it a most enjoyable and comfortable stay. The staff were friendly at all times and went out of their way to create a relaxing environment. The spa was amazing and the facilities provided by the hotel free of charge, such at the canoes, Hobie Cat and beach volleyball just added to the holiday. Will most definitly be going back."
