Layana Resort & Spa - Adult Only - SHA Extra Plus

The room was very large with very comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and good air con. Very quiet. The beach was great with direct access and hotel sunbeds on the beach. On arrival on the beach, staff brought towels and continuous supply of cold water plus took orders for coffee, snacks etc. Lovely fresh water pool up to the beach side. By early afternoon, the beach was getting too hot for us so we used to move to the second pool which is further back and got some breeze. Very nice gym. The hotel has quite a few boat trips of various types - we did two snorkelling trips which were excellent, including the scenery and clear sea (the sea by the hotel was a bit cloudy with sand when we were there).

The cleanliness of the resort was truly impressive, setting the stage for a perfect getaway. The variety of pools available added an extra layer of enjoyment, ensuring that every moment was one of relaxation and tranquility. The resort exudes an ambiance of serenity that effortlessly captivates its guests. The staff members were not only exceptionally kind but also incredibly attentive, making the entire experience even more delightful. One highlight of my stay was the SPA, which exceeded my expectations. It was a truly rejuvenating and pampering experience that left me feeling completely refreshed. Layana Resort and Spa is a hidden gem that combines impeccable cleanliness, a serene atmosphere, outstanding staff, and an unforgettable spa experience. I can't recommend it enough.

Given it was the end of the season, and many adjacent hotels seemed either closed or very quiet, it was amazing how the Layana stayed fully open and attentive. Excellent, consistent service with so many lovely small details. The room was immaculate, meals were great, the poolside service exceptional (free water kept coming, additional free treats, smiles everywhere), all very professional. We didn't go on any of the available tours or excursions, but the beach is kept tidy by locals and it is lovely.

Layana has excellent facilities: room, spa, swimming pools, gym, restaurant. The rooms are cleaned and amenities are replenished twice a day. At the pools ice cold water is served and occasionally you get a fresh fruit slice. Layana It’s located on the beautiful Long Beach where you can swim, collect shells, walk or run along. The Manager, Frank and his team have mastered the art of serving guests. It was my second stay and I really enjoyed it. The white party reception and Wednesday dinner were a highlight for me. By the way the white party reception was for free and they served wines, cocktails and canapés for free. I had the pleasure to talk to other guests and learnt that they were also returning guests and stay for periods of up to six weeks. This speaks volumes about the amazing service provided by Layana.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Layana exceeded all my expectations and gave us the most amazing 3 nights in Lanta. From the moment we arrived the staff were amazing giving us welcome drinks and a tour of the hotel. Our room was amazing with a jacuzzi bath and beautiful balcony. The room had a great fridge and coffee machine. The infinity pool is amazing with a beautiful view over the blue water. We also loved the comfortable loungers on the beach and having direct beach access. The location was perfect with many nice bars and restaurants a short walk along the beach away. Even better is the beautiful hotel bar with a perfect sunset view and great price, selection and quality of drinks. Overall this hotel is amazing and we would love to return someday soon.
