We first visited Ancient Realm and Koh Lanta in 2009 when we spent 6 months travelling around SE Asia. This time we had been visiting Borneo (climbing Mount Kinabalu, jungle etc) so wanted to finish the trip with some relaxing beach time so thought where better, than what had been our favourite resort, on our favourite Thai island. The resort... More

Nice place at the end of the beach, quite and peaceful, rooms are nice and clean, but the whole place needs to improve, the reception area, needs a make over, the same could you say of the pool and garden area. Breakfast ok, staff is friendly, not very good in english, Pool is small but clean, Nice bar area, with... More

The reception area is a bit run down and needs some attention, so the first impression is not great. But that changes as you are taken to your room. The bungalows are simply stunning. They feel luxurious and homely, with lovely big beds, ample cupboards, tvs, airconditioners and a well stocked mini-bar. The staff are friendly and do whatever they... More

The first impression of the hotel was far below the expectation we had based on the internet pictures. The bangalows is spacious and clean, the staff friendly. The public area need maintenance, looks like they wait until tables and chairs fall apart. They never clean the garbage between their tables on the beach, the brealfast was ok. The location is...

We didn't stay at the resort or spa, but the bar was one of the highlights of our visit to Ko Lanta. Suki and the bartenders are great, and they always kept us entertained and made us feel welcome. The drinks are fantastic at any price; during happy hour, they are the best value on the island. More

My partner and I stayed In Ancient Realm from 18th-24th December 2011 and had the most fabulous time ever. We arranged an airport transfer from Krabi airport, which was about 40 minutes away and included 2 short ferry transfers. On arrival to the hotel, we were a bit concerned as we pulled into a little dirt road but we needn’t... More

I was trying to come up with a witty title for this review but 4/5 just about sums this place up, its very good but its not perfect. First off the good stuff: all three of my girlfriend's essentials were catered for (beach bungalow, hammocks, access to bar!), check in was quick and easy (a blessing after a looooooong trip... More

This place is excellent value for the money. I loved the huts with outdoor bathrooms and own, private garden with a hammok. Breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly. You can rent skooters from the hotel and I definately recommend driving around Lanta with skooters. There were lot of information in the room about things to do around... More

I base my reviews on what I got compared with what I expected for the price I paid. We paid 1488 Bahts a night here including breakfast. It wad a great location, quirky and unique. The rooms were lovely. I get the comments about the bathroom, but it was clean and I liked it being a bit unusual. We were... More
