Ko Lanta, Krabi Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent hotel…staff were lovely and the hotel was fantastic…clean big rooms with comfy bed….very quiet resort with lots of space in the garden and beach….place had 2 pools"

"Hotel is right on the beach so a great location with a nice pool area. The bungalows were clean and the porch area with sofa was welcomed. The room itself was fine but a little tired, the set up is also a bit strange with a tile shelf behind the bed (banged head a few times in the night). Due to high season the cost was quite high and based on the room we felt it wasn’t the luxury bungalow the pictures suggested though still a pleasant, clean stay in a good location"

"The breakfast was amazing - so much variety and the staff were so friendly - they couldn’t have done more to welcome us or make us comfortable. The property is immaculately kept. We had the best time! "

"Room was amazing. Plunge pool was perfect. "

"Fantastic location next to one of the best restaurants on the island. Clean room, helpful staff, perfect for our family."

"Loved this hotel. Quiet, clean and lovely pool. Small beach area. Rooms had a stunning view. "

"Beautiful resort overlooking the beach, and the room was spotless. Pros: Clean, spacious room Amazing shower with great views Decent breakfast buffet Transport companies were outside the door most hours Reliable laundry service Clean gym, nice Muay Thai class offering Nice spa Cons: DO NOT ORDER TAXI FROM THEM. They ordered a cab (when we had to make a boat) that arrived 20 minutes late, crammed us in with tons of people and the cab smelled of cigarettes, and they dropped our bag on the street. We could have gotten our own private transport that was outside the door for less money. When I pointed this out to the hotel, the response was “we will complain to the company, no worries.” Our complaint is with both the cab company and the hotel. We made a mistake trusting them. "

"Great place tucked away from everything close to elephant sanctuary. This is peaceful relax stop not a party joint staff was great room service was excellent. It is right on a beach you can walk the length of and stop at great restaurants. "
