Layana is Simply flawless - I'll start with that! Having just spent the past 8 nights here, I can truly say that this has to been the best hotel both my wife & I have stayed at. Despite this being the Green Season (So no speed boat collection/arrival) We was collected in a first rate mini van, upon entering the... More

Pro's: Nice place to stay a couple of days Close to the beach They decorated our room as it was our honeymoon, and gave us complimentary champagne They had some nice arrangements for snorkeling and days out. Con's: Tasteless food in the restaurant. We ate... More

We booked initially in a garden room and took a look at Beach Suite bungalow and upgraded. It was the best thing we did as the view of the ocean and privacy were worth the expense. The reviews of this place are exceptional so your expectation is that it will be close to perfect. It was in most areas but... More

We saved this hotel for the last week of our 7 week Asian vacation and it turned out that we did indeed save the best for last. Arrival at the beach is breathtaking with an absolutely gorgeous beach. Tall vegetation fronts the garden pavilions with two rows of several blocks facing each other across a wide expanse of grass so... More

We visited Layana in March 2011 and 2012 and the stay was amazing on both occasions. The restaurant has good quality food, although we did visit some local ones on the second visit. The staff are really friendly and make you feel really welcome and genuinely remembered us on the second time. There was a Tsunami warning on our second... More

My girlfriend and i went to layana to celebrate our 10 year anniversary of being together. We just couldn't believe how good it was. We were picked up from Krabi airport in the most luxurious vehicle we'd probably ever been in. When we got to the resort, we just felt like we were in Charlie and the chocolate factory or... More

My wife and I just returned from Layana Resort after a 5 night stay. This was my third visit to this property, my last being in Sept 2010.
