"We had a wonderful week at Layana leading up to our marriage at the end of our stay.
Shout out to Gae who I communicated with on a regular basis prior to our trip and during. She was more than pleasant and helped organize the perfect wedding. Nothing was a problem or too much of an ask. Frank, the manager, was our master of ceremonies. He was dressed in an all white captain suit and delivered a beautiful script.
There was a little hiccup the day prior to our wedding regarding preparation but Gae and my makeup artist Way, saved the day with amazing help and service.
The resort is quiet and serene. The food was delicious and the pool and beach amazing. They have special dinners daily as well as à la carte and once a week they have a white evening, cocktails on beach. One of the activities we went on was a day trip picnic on a longboat to a small island. Saw beautiful scenery, ate great food, swam in warm clear water and had an opportunity to stop and feed monkeys. We had done an 4 island tour from Krabi but wished that would have waited and did the Layana cruise instead. They pick you up on beach in front of hotel and have a lovely boat! Worth the extra cost as our tour was crowded and not that enjoyable!
I could go on and on but in the end it was a memorable experience that will be remembered. "
"The staff are lovely and very friendly.
The food we had was nice. Breakfast was a basic selection, eggs, 2 thai dishes, salad, pancakes, chicken, sausage, pancake, fruit, cereal and cakes.
All the restaurants on the island close at 9pm.
I think the stretch of beach at the hotel was the nicest we saw.
The room was nice and big.
Electricity to the rooms shuts off between 10am and 3pm.
There is a small playpark.
If staying here make sure your boat drops you at Fantasy. Boats stop outside the hotel"
"The rooms were cleaned daily and housekeepers were very friendly and accommodating. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast could have been very good but always cold. We even arrived right at opening and it was still cold. Suggest they use warming trays. "
"Really lovely room, good breakfast and great staff. Some drawbacks: it's a bit remote towards the end of the road of hotels, there's not enough shade on the beach (umbrellas too small) and the music at the bar was so loud in the evenings I avoided it completely."
