Quiet, lovely hotel.
We extended our stay from 3 days to 7 at this hotel. We loved Koh Lanta so much, we enjoyed the quiet beaches, quiet streets and kind people. The service was so great, we had everything we needed very quickly. The wifi and air conditioner were great and the food at the restaurant was really good. The pool was also nice to sit at during the day. The hotel is not busy at all but the staff always seemed busy cleaning and helping the residents that were there. I would love to come back and stay here again one day.

Worst experience ever!
A long-time Expedia user and a global traveller, this is by far the worst hotel experience i've ever had.
We paid a huge amount of money for airport transfer. And the hotel sent us a driver who fell asleep while driving! We almost had an accident because he could not drive within the lane! Had to watch him for 2 hours from the mirror so he doesn't fall asleep again. When told the hotel owner about this, he did not even say "sorry".
The hotel is totally different than what it promises to be on the Expedia website. First of all, it is quite old and dirty. Our room floor was not clean when we arrived. There's a 40-year old safe in the room, which is not usable. The bathroom was horrible. One night we had a difficulty turning on the water in the shower, the next the hotel was out of hot water! Staff is quite unhelpful. No English, and no manners!
I strongly recommend not staying at this hotel. For this price, you can do MUCH better.

Good overaĺl experience.
We has a pleasant stay. However, a few places of improvement needed would be the cleaning of private pool. Bedding to be changed as the bed has become too soft. Pillows were too soft as weĺl.

Lots to be desired with this hotel but for the most it was good. If you get a good discount rate then I'll recommend. On or near full price then I'll say stay away.

Bathroom and little dingy & dirty. Pool really nice. The hotel seems like it was really good in the 80s. Rooms need to be updated. Friendly staff, good breakfast, not walking distance to the beach.

We stayed here for 2 weeks on our Honeymoon and loved the resort! Despite it needing a bit of small maintenance improvements we were so very impressed with the loveliness and helpfulness of the staff! A special cheers to Sorn, Wee, Pla, Sol, the crazy-fun bar staff and the beautiful girls in the resort restaurant. The buffet breakfast was delicious and different every morning. Thankyou so much for making our Honeymoon so happy Pilanta! 😊

Stay away!
Stay away from this place. I saw mixed reviews before we stayed here so I thought it would be a decent place especially for the great price I was getting add it was the off season.
Before we arrived I tried arranging a taxi from the airport but no one that answered the phones spoke any English and my emails got ignored.
We arrived to a hot and smelly room, the sheets were dirty and stained so I asked for them to be switched, they switched them with other dirty sheets. The jacuzzi was broken so we asked to switch rooms, they put us in another room that smelled the bathroom had mold in it, the soap dispensers were disgusting and the sheets were dirty and ripped.
I will never stay here again and hope that no one else will until they fix their place up and vamp up their service.

Stay away!!!!!!!
All the hotel looks like an abandoned place. Like someone forgot everyone there. Don't know what the manager though when he places a worker that don't know English in the reception.
We came to the hotel and the jacuzzi wasn't working, so they upgraded us to a better room with private pool in the size of a pond, looks disgusting. The jacuzzi was still somewhat broken. Then I noticed a cockroach but decided not to complain after a long day. But in the night I heard noises and didn't fall asleep all night until I saw a mouse looking at me from the ceiling. We moved again at the middle of the night, and the guy from the hotel that helped us move said I imagine the mouse. Disgusting! I still had a sleepless night. Just STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely not a 4* Resort
We stayed there for New Year and were very disappointed with the hotel. It is sold as a little paradise (we booked a room with a plunge pool) but it is far from it. The hotel staff are very friendly but they just don't have the tools to make your stay pleasant. Walking to the beach is about 10 to 15 min walk through a jungle-like passage that can be full of mud after a rainy day. The best of the hotel is the restaurant in front (which is not part of the hotel); delicious and very inexpensive - totally recommended.

Old over priced hotel.
We stayed in a room with spa bath but it didn't work. Balcony had cigarette butts on the floor of it. Television had very few channels and we have young children so unable to stay out late.
Worst of all was the service at check in/out. Carried own luggage to room. At check out, tried to pay a 800 baht bill for (terrible) for only to be told cash only for transactions under 1000! And closest ATM in the town a good 5 minute car journey away. No flexibilty on this even after we reminded them about the broken spa bath! No signage up to prep warn about cash under 1000 baht. Infuriating!

Great price, great service, great hotel
What a fantastic little hotel in Georgetown. Has everything that you need. Great room, great breakfast, lovely shower and a cosy swimming pool. A pretty good location for exploring George town and getting around the city. The price of this hotel makes it very difficult to beat on value. Will stay here again on my next visit and will probably look at other Glow hotels in Bangkok now.

Very nice room
Very nice hotel. We stayed in the honeymoon suite. The room was very nice but the plunge pool was not clean so did not feel it was clean enough to swim in or use. The daily cleaning service was not bad but we did you use a couple of spoons which they did not clean was just left in the sink also when they made the bed my Night clothes where thrown on the side rather than put on the bed nicely that could be me just being picky, Apart from this minor things the room was very nice and the hotel also was very nice good breakfast with plenty of choice, Friendly and helpful staff,

Mother and daughter trip
Overall a pretty average stay, staff were friendly and helpful however room was not up to the standard we were expecting. The private pool, bedroom and bathroom were pretty dirty and falling apart. Plus no toilet paper or tea in our room. The restaurant across the road is HIGHLY recommended however, not part of the hotel. The food is to die for and cheap.

2 night stay
Good hotel, staff are excellent. Good pool facilities, rooms are getting a little bit dated and air conditioning was a little odd. Good sized room however with big bathroom. Staff are friendly and accommodating, location isn't on the beach and is without an ocean view - however hotel is clean and spacious. Overall was a good stay with easy access to Saladan.

Nice hotel, with everything you need!
Stayed in a spa deluxe room for our visit in December '14. The staff were very friendly and endeavoured to provide us with everything we requested; booking tours, airport transfers and bike hire for us,
Breakfast was great, with an egg station and fresh pancakes upon request.
Room was clean, private pool was clean and bathroom was clean.
It isn't located on the beach front, but it is literally just up the road!
Loved the openness of the whole place, and the fact there is a bar next to the pool!
Had a great experience at Pilanta, and Koh Lanta is definitely high on my recommendation list for anyone that scuba dives!

luxury but far 100m from the beach, about 2km to shop and food so you have to pay for taxi.
if you want hotel to booking diving trip or taxi you have to pay more.
