Pimalai Resort & Spa

Just spent 9 days at this beautiful hotel, set in the cliffs.. service is fab, rooms were great, we stayed in the 200s , lower down. The higher you go, you may get the monkeys popping in...there are steps everywhere, but buggies available 24/7.

Pimalai is just gorgeous. I would say it’s quiet luxury. Everything is clean, modern and high end but isn’t flashy or ostentatious with it. The atmosphere is lovely and chilled, all the staff are warm and welcoming and it’s a perfect place to relax and destress. The restaurants are all very good - particularly Rak Talay, and the heritage bar is perfect for sunset happy hour. We had a mountain room (very steep but buggies can be called) with our own plunge pool. We loved it (watch out for the monkeys though!). Our room also had its own kitchen which is great if you are staying longer. We found the app extremely useful for calling buggies and looking at menus etc. We had massages too, the spa is lovely. We just got back and I’m already desperate to return. Koh Lanta itself is nice and chilled.

What an amazing place to stay. From start to finish we were so well taken care of. All the staff were lovely. Our beachside pavilion suite was beautiful very spacious with an amazing view of the stunning beach. We ate at the Seven Seas twice, tried the tasting menu which was delicious. We had dinner at Rak Talay which was also wonderful. We loved Happy Hour at the same place watching the sunset. We went out on a snorkelling trip arranged via the hotel, excellent snorkelling, & the staff kept a close eye on us all, even diving down with our underwater camera & getting some great photos. I would highly recommend Pimalai to anyone.

It was our first visit to Pimalai and we had the pleasure of staying nine nights. The staff were absolutely first class, bedrooms were spotless and luxurious, guest slippers, robes and beach bag for the duration were supplied in the room with a lovely plate of fruit upon arrival. The restaurants were superb with an amazing variety of salads, snacks, plus exceptional quality European, and Thai cuisine. Both pools were amazing, the sun beds were great quality and there were plenty of towels. The staff also came round with chilled water and little fruit snacks. Fabulous touches. I had a reflexology treatment at the Spa which was great. The Transfer from Krabi Airport was extremely well organised, one hour in a luxury minivan and then 45 minutes on the speedboat (check your flight arrival times as the speedboat is only available at certain times of the day and certain times of the year) If mobility is an issue then this resort is probably not suitable as there are many steps to and from the different areas of the resort. Although ALL the staff were amazing, special thanks to :- Rak at the beach restaurant Norah & Khoi at the pool and beach bar and Noi at reception. A wonderful experience from start to finish

Wow what can I say - been around the world and this really is 5 star nothing to much trouble excellent quality and the staff !!! They make it all so special we will definitely return shame this wasn’t the end of our holiday as now off to phi phi and Phuket
