Beach Hotels & Resorts in Mai Fat from NZ$48

"Hi. The hotel is on a beautiful place. The beach, sea, rooms and staff are lovely. What is lacking is attention to simple detail that should be led by management. The pool water gets full of leaves and the sides are covered in algae. This would be simple to fix and manage. The food is ok, but often served cold. The beach bar is never open. There are lots of lovely staff but they are not managed and seem to have plenty of time that could be focused on these things. I would stay again but it is just let down by somethings management could fix very easily if they cared. "

"Lovely hotel with a nice room, the pool was clean and relaxing. Overall it was a nice experience."

"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. "

"Our stay at Lanta Miami was bliss. This is such a peaceful place and fantastic for a 3 star resort. We had a family beach bungalow and it was spacious with 2 king beds. Daily cleaning was really appreciated. The pool area does need a bit of updating but there’s so much shade and the pool is kept so clean. Being right on the beach was wonderful. We snorkelled immediately off the beach. The restaurant is great. We ate there almost the whole time as other places weren’t any better. You can get alcohol from the restaurant too. Local amenities good, walking distance to what you’ll need. We had stayed in Phuket the week before at a 4 star which was hugely disappointing. Lanta Miami was what we needed, chilled, peaceful and beautiful. "

"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"

"The hotel is excellent value for money - Great rooms, big and well maintained pool, nice spa/massage parlor (which is a little more expensive than the local norm) and the beach on our doorstep. Breakfast is varied and good quality. The staff speak very good English at the reception and are very helpful. On the quieter side of the island, perfect if that’s what you are looking for. The main pier for speedboats is about 40 mins away (if you are interested in day trips). The local beach is really fantastic - clean, nice sand, great water (good for kids) and beautiful sunsets. If you want nightlife and shops, the closest is 15 mins away at Khlong Nin. "

"The rooms were cleaned daily and housekeepers were very friendly and accommodating. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast could have been very good but always cold. We even arrived right at opening and it was still cold. Suggest they use warming trays. "
