Layan Villas – Choeng Thale

Friendly staff cooking breakfast in the room

I was somewhat disappointed. It has a lot of potential but really fails. The idea is great but the small things let them down.for example. The spa bath did not work.when we checked on the TV didn't work then the Air conditioning in the bedroom didn't work.All of which eventually got rectified. The internet was very unreliable. And some of the other villas had very loud parties which I didn't mind until it was 4 8n the morning and I had to go and tell them to quite down...because the security guard wouldn't. But look for the price it was OK. ..but I'd rather have not had the hassles.

This is not your traditional hotel room; this is actually a villa! You have your own enclosed area - the kitchen/living room areas are separate from the master bedroom. Both of these are very spacious and have been well furnished, but you have to go outside to go from the kitchen to the bedroom. It is very much as pictured, but the layout is hard to capture in photos. This hotel is definitely for someone who will primarily like to stay at the hotel, and visit the one nearby beach. Lily, manager, was very kind and helpful even when she was off the clock (front desk is open till 6).

A team of four staff came in every morning to prepare breakfast is a highlight, the pool is great, the place is quiet, faraway from the busy areas, staff are helpful.

In a pretty remote area, could be boring if you do not have a car to explore around. Hotel staff very friendly although they do not speak much English. Short stay is fine.
