Can’t find any fault”
We stayed for 5 nights and the resort ticked all the right boxes. All the staff are polite and helpful. Room is spacious and clean. Fabulous restaurants. The beach is not as calm and turquoise as what you get at Phi Phi but it is quiet and peaceful. I observed the staff laying out the beach towels so carefully that they should all be aligned and straight as to be aesthetically pleasing. I could easily recommend the resort. I’ve stayed in many in Thailand and this one is up there with the Amans and the Six Senses in terms of service.

Instead of wishing I could stay longer, I actually did.”
Beautifully maintained property. Quite more expansively laid out than imagined. Yet still felt intimate. Staff was very well trained. Almost too much. If that makes sense. Ideal location. Very clean and safe beach front. Food was good. Would recommend to keep it as local and authentic as possible and not adjusted to foreigners. Their papaya salad was most excellent. Breakfast was plentiful. Didn't mind walking up the hill to it for that incredible view. They also offer shuttle service. Didn't take as it felt less organic. Their pools are a wonderful. The view onto the Andaman Sea is spectacular. But this is where a detail was missing. Being at the edge of those pools (especially the hillside pool) and immersed beyond beauty you're reminded of reality by seeing an unkept and poorly landscaped section of the property. Some details could be sorted out but during this time of Covid hesitant travellers, Pimalai went above expectations. Offering as much possible during this economically challenging times for the travel industry. A challenge is to create this balance between a barefoot chill resort with the formality that comes with standards at the same time. Thank you Pimalai! Was absolutely divine. xxo

Great hotel with exceptional service”
We stayed at Pimalai for 3 weeks in March/April 22 and really enjoyed it. Everything was perfect, from the location with lush gardens, to its pools, sandy beach, room furnishings and cleanliness, great breakfast and other food, and extraordinary service by the friendly hotel staff. The only downside for us as scuba divers was that currently they don't have a dive operation starting from the Pimalai's floating jetty (Lanta Divers is great but only has a booking office in the hotel) and we had to be driven all the way to Saladan for scuba diving. Quite inconvenient to be picked up early at 7am for a bumpy 40min car ride when you could have started at 8 from the hotel after enjoying the great breakfast. This will hopefully change soon. Nevertheless, we will definitely come back.

Excellent”
Pimalai has high standards and we were again not disappointed. Wonderfull room and wellkept surroundings. Very nice breakfast and restaurants with a fine touch. The resort is a bit remote, and we were caught by the tide, when we tried to walked home along the beach from the small towns restaurants. If you are wise enough to check the tide-calendar, it's no problem :-) Take a sunset snorkeltrip to Koh Haa - you won't regret it.

Perfect honeymoon ”
We were welcomed very warmly, the accommodation was stunning, and the breakfast was just excellent. The staff was always very handsome and helped us where they could to make our stay perfect. Nearby the hotel there is a place (Walk with giants) where you can go for a walk with rescued elephants. Just some minutes via the beach there is a village with bars, restaurants and a seven-eleven.

Beautiful property”
The resort is excellent. The food is fantastic. It’s a place to chill. Don’t expect shopping etc. The staff were super friendly. I enjoyed the trip to Koh Ha as well - an protected island. You can see it in the distance from the property. I will be back!

Absolutely Stunning”
This resort has got to be one of the best we have ever stayed at! The resort itself is absolutely beautiful and the views are unbeatable! We absolutely loved our stay here. We had a room close to the beach and the ocean view was amazing. Every staff member at the resort went above and beyond and we would love to give a special shout out to Lai, Rita, Anee and Amauss at the restaurants. They gave us a laugh every day at our meals and we thoroughly enjoyed dealing with them each day!

Highlight of my trip”
Beautiful property. Extremely accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Honestly, I’m not sure where to start with a review of our stay here. I will say we took advantage of the airport transfer service, the spa, 3 of the restaurants, the sunrise mangrove tour, both pools, aerial yoga class, taxi service to a nearby cave trek, fitness center, activities center and happy hour at the beach bar, and the FREE breakfast buffet (to die for).They have everything you need to have an awesome stay in Koh Lanta. That being said, I had a great time getting out of the resort and exploring nearby areas of the island. It’s a little far from the main touristy attractions further north of the island but if you love nature they are right near the national park (maybe in the National Park?). Plenty of beautiful beaches and trees nearby. Can’t recommend enough. If you’re on the fence because of the price— splurge on this one. You won’t regret it.

Exceptional place!!!”
Absolutely wonderful place! We stayed 6 days at Pimalai, and wished we could have stayed longer. Although the resort is quite big, you don’t get that impression as a guest. Staff is wonderful, and breakfast amazing. Rest of the island is maybe less interesting, but for a relaxing time the resort is great. On walking distance great local food restaurants. Hope to visit Pimalai again in the future.

Serene and beautiful”
Our villa with a pool was amazing set amongst the gorgeous rainforest overlooking the ocean with a short walk to the beach. Pimalai has retained the natural beauty of its environmental surrounds. The food was great and the staff were lovely, extremely obliging and welcoming! It was one of the best resorts we have stayed at. Excellent facilities. Thankyou Pimalai!

Amazing experience with family!”
We've had an amazing 6 nights stay in Pimalai Resort. After spending most of our trip "running" from one place to another, our stay in Pimalai was targeted for pure relaxation. And it was the best decision we've made. Our beachfront suite was beautiful, extremely spacious and just a pleasure to stay in. Just a few short steps from the amazing Katiang Bay beach where our children could build sand castles and play soccer. The facilities in the hotel are also great. Beachside pool was cozy and nice, the restaurants serve delicious Thai and western food (although quite on the expensive side). Finally, the roundtrip transportation service from and to Krabi airport was top notch! The best we've experienced in any hotel we've been in! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
