Budget Hostels from RM23

"We had a wonderful time at Layana. The transportation from Krabi airport was very much appreciated. It was very hot in Thailand while we were there and the pool was great, we spent hours around it and in it. We rented a scooter to drive around the island, Traffic was limited and we felt safe driving them around the island, Layana recommended the Turtle Beach resort for dinner and it was very good. Our room was very large"

"Fabulous - have your own scooter- frogs at the start of rainy season are mad - couldn’t sleep the first night 😂"

"This hotel was amazing! I stayed with my husband, mother, and best friend. We booked 2 sea view villas, one for my husband and I and one for my mum and best friend. The villas themselves were outstanding - wonderful soft big beds and pillows, great bathroom with excellent water pressure, great air conditioning, mini fridge to store drinks in and nice patio seating right outside to enjoy the view of the oven. We got the breakfast included option and were treated to a wonderful buffet breakfast every morning which was a bonus. Short distance by taxi or tuk tuk to the walking street and other restaurants. My husband walked into town nearly everyday to visit some local food spots for lunch and enjoyed the walk. During our stay we booked 2 excursions through the hotel - an all day snorkeling excursion and an elephant sanctuary experience. Both were amazing!! Would recommend the elephant sanctuary to absolutely everyone. The beach was beautiful and the water was great. Barely anyone on the beach - very easy to find a chair or spread out a towel in the sun. It was jellyfish season, so there were a few washed up jellyfish on the sand but we were not afraid at all. My husband got lightly stung on his stomach but it went away within the day. If you are scared or have small children that would be scared maybe just be cautious. Night time there were a few sand flies - we all got bit quite a bit but we didn’t think to bring insect repellent so it was our fault. Still super nice!! "

"You know what? This is a delightful place with wonderful, friendly staff. One immediately forgives the shortcomings of the obvious struggle they're having in maintaining and updating the property. It might not be perfect but it all works and is functional and practical. Can't fault it for effort!"

"We really enjoyed our stay. The massage and pedicure were great. It was nice to be right on a very quiet beach. You could walk km with very few people. We ate at Mamas on the road near the entrance. We highly revommend it. Breakfast was very hood at the hotel. "

"Great "

"A beautiful resort and staff so so helpful and always smiley! Rooms were so well kept and really clean. Aircon works very well! Pool area kept very clean and different areas to sit at to have a drink. Beach access for early morning or early evening walks. Food and drinks good, only comment would be cooked breakfast got cold quickly if you didn’t get there at breakfast opening time. Beautiful sea views and an amazing sunset from Reggae Bar! "

"Great large family room with exterior covered patio with hammock, 2 chairs and surrounding cement bench, fantastic! Pros: Room: large, constantly clean, huge shower, bathroom door closes,(free soap, shampoo, shower gel, bath towels, pool towels, beach towels, bottled water all provided daily). Comfortable bed, pillows, bedding, strong aircon, decent size fridge, safe box in room. Food and drink: good food in resto, reasonable price. Good coffee bar, nice bar for drinks, pool table. Good pool side bar. Nice pool, gets crowded when the jellies show up😉. Also great smoothie shop next door, fantastic smoothies and fresh fruit crepes, and hamburger shop next to that has good burgers and beers for cheap. Location: great, lots of food, drink, transportation, beach choices. Lots of bird sounds in morning, and the cicadas are singing morning and night😁. Hotel provides mostly great tour service providers👍(see Cons). Also laundry 40B per kg. Cons: only Con was when hotel provided driver and van for our hotel booked transportation from Lanta Pearl to Donsak Pier to take ferry to Ko Samui, the guy was surly and a complete ache-hole🙄. Conclusion: Fantastic stay, would highly recommend Lanta Pearl in all facets. Great bang for buck👍."

"I’ve traveled all over the world, and this was the best stay I’ve ever had. They don’t let you lift a finger, even if you want to! I’ve never been so pampered in my life. The free transfer from the airport is much nicer than advertised - we had a private car with AC, free water, and their own private speedboat to the island. We didn’t carry a bag from the moment they picked us up until the moment they dropped us back off at the airport. The resort amenities are top notch, and they even upgraded us to a villa with a private pool. I am still in disbelief at how beautiful it was and everything that was included in the space… because it’s on a hill, they have buggies that bring you anywhere you want within the resort. The food and free breakfast were superior, the spa services left us in a stupor, and the convenience was incomparable. They even have their own app for you to access their services at the touch of a button, and they’re immediately responsive for any request you make. I feel spoiled and sad leaving, but will definitely be back. Book this place! "
