Beach Hotels & Resorts in Ban Ai Dao from NZ$35

"Hotel is on a good location in Long beach and has a well stocked shop. Staff was friendly. The room itself was OK with good space, but towels and toilet smell bad and few fixtures were railly worn out. Arriving you have to arrange you tranfer from the pier and the complimentary taxi boat at checkout only has limited hours so we had to arrange and pay for ours seomwhere else. You could walk but its about 30 min but there is a 5min steep hike section I woudnt recommend for mobility impaired people or with luggage. "

"Beatiful place. "

"A fabulous resort. Stayed in the sunset pool villa and it was everything I imagined it would be and more. The sunsets were wonderful, the grounds of the resort, gorgeous. Had a terrific experience and would recommend. 5 star 100%"

"Such a fabulous place. It has everything you need, great restaurant, freshly lovely pool and super helpful staff. The bar was great fun and cocktails amazing, especially loved the bar staff - Jimmy and Joe. Would highly recommend and I’d definitely stay here again. "

"Le site est paradisiaque, nous avions un chambre sur le bord de la plage. Le déjeuner est très bon avec beaucoup de choix le seul bémol il débutait à 8h. Ça serait très apprécié si nous pouvions prendre un café avant 8h. Sinon tout était parfait "

"Beautiful hotel, the staff couldn’t have done it more for us! The rooms are so spacious and comfortable"

"Royal Lanta was a fabulous place to stay due to its beachfront position, large room and great breakfast. "

"We had a wonderful week at Layana leading up to our marriage at the end of our stay. Shout out to Gae who I communicated with on a regular basis prior to our trip and during. She was more than pleasant and helped organize the perfect wedding. Nothing was a problem or too much of an ask. Frank, the manager, was our master of ceremonies. He was dressed in an all white captain suit and delivered a beautiful script. There was a little hiccup the day prior to our wedding regarding preparation but Gae and my makeup artist Way, saved the day with amazing help and service. The resort is quiet and serene. The food was delicious and the pool and beach amazing. They have special dinners daily as well as à la carte and once a week they have a white evening, cocktails on beach. One of the activities we went on was a day trip picnic on a longboat to a small island. Saw beautiful scenery, ate great food, swam in warm clear water and had an opportunity to stop and feed monkeys. We had done an 4 island tour from Krabi but wished that would have waited and did the Layana cruise instead. They pick you up on beach in front of hotel and have a lovely boat! Worth the extra cost as our tour was crowded and not that enjoyable! I could go on and on but in the end it was a memorable experience that will be remembered. "

"The staff are lovely and very friendly. The food we had was nice. Breakfast was a basic selection, eggs, 2 thai dishes, salad, pancakes, chicken, sausage, pancake, fruit, cereal and cakes. All the restaurants on the island close at 9pm. I think the stretch of beach at the hotel was the nicest we saw. The room was nice and big. Electricity to the rooms shuts off between 10am and 3pm. There is a small playpark. If staying here make sure your boat drops you at Fantasy. Boats stop outside the hotel"
