“The Best Place on Earth - Truly”

This is my third time staying at Pimalai - first in 2006, then 2016 and then this year. The resort has evolved over time but has never strayed from providing the most luxurious yet down to earth experience I've ever had. The beauty of the location is top notch, but what sets this place apart from other resorts are the thoughtful touches and kind, perceptive staff. There is just so much warmth and pride they exude in being in such a beautiful place, and that extends to the overall vibe of the resort and spa itself - not at all corporate, laid back, genuinely appreciative of nature, and just gorgeous in every detail and experience. I have gotten a massage every time I've come here and its been incredible; the cooking class is always fun, and the food is tasty. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast at Seven Seas and the happy hour at Pimalai Heritage. I am looking forward to my next stay!

“The one and only”

Once again we had the "unfortunate" of having bad weather during our stay.....

Once again we had the "unfortunate" of having bad weather during our stay..... But still the "passion" that brings us to this hotel is unique, almost familiar, and unquestionable, and we are fine here under any circumstances. Pimalai is a unique hotel, where the luxury begins with its staff and their way of welcoming to the perfection of the service they provide, always with the aim of making us feel unique, special, that we are all here..... It's always good to be in Pimalai, even if it's just to relax here to the sound of a rough sea, the wind, a nighttime thunderstorm.... Waking up and having a view of the sea.... relaxing over a refined breakfast, which stands out for the excellence of its products, on top of a breathtaking landscape.... It's what drives us every year to do more than ten thousand kilometers.... . And one day they even offer us an upgrade to the top of the hill, and on these days of "meditation, being able to enjoy a swimming pool, and a fantastic view from the top of this natural reserve Do I recommend it? without any doubt....

We visited for 5 nights in May. Arrival was stunning via speedboat and first impressions were very good. The views really are beautiful especially from the infinity pool. We had a fantastic room with sea view and balcony, great toiletries. We really enjoyed the welcome coconut drink which was delicious. However we were unlucky with the weather and soon after we arrived the heavens opened. The sea in general was too rough to swim in and the beach a little disappointing. Koh Lanta itself felt a little 3rd world. It was nice to walk to the local village along the beach but it was tiny and not much to see, we were surprised to see weed shops amongst the massage parlours. There is an interesting bar on the beach - why not bar. The beach felt like Cornwall with heat and humidity. One of the restaurants was closed at the hotel so for dinner there were only 2 options . Prices were quite high. We enjoyed happy hour near the infinity pool with stunning views and down by the beach. The lower pool was looking a bit tatty and in general the sun beds were not comfortable. Around the infinity pool service seemed a bit lacking. The sunbeds were hard. Breakfast in the morning was very good with so many options , service was mixed though . Often the order was wrong or they didn’t understand. My main criticism is when the weather is bad there is very little to do and very little offered. We did the boat trip to Koh Rok which was expensive for what you got . The boat was very basic, Koh rok was pretty but sterile and swimming was restricted and only with a life jacket. Very little time was spent on Koh rok before travelling back again. We would have liked to do a cookery class , but this was limited to a few people. Things like yoga you had to pay for. The setting was beautiful and it was like living in a jungle but boredom set in with so little to do. All the staff were very pleasant. A lady called Noi was especially kind and wonderful with customer service. She is a credit to the hotel.
