Bungalow was traditional bamboo style hut with an private outdoor bathroom, very romantic and pretty. Some people may not like the outdoor bathroom and the hut style, our recommendation to them is to go and stay at a hotel on the mainland instead. We stayed in low season and there were not many people around the island or resort, so... More

We stayed two weeks on Ancient Realm with three children and had the best of times! I feel all warm in my heart when thinking back of those two weeks. We stayed in one of the standard Bungalows with two baby cots and a mattress for the bigger boy. It was a bit cramped but ok! We were (of course... More

We didn't have high expectations of the AR because it was so cheap. We expected a laid back, very small and quiet resort and that is exactly what we got. Our sea view bungalow was lovely, it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and there where lots of thoughtful extras that you would not expect given the cost such... More

Four adults and two young children had one week here, booked despite the mixed tripadvisor reviews. The mixed reviews are exactly accurate. There is a lot that is good about this charming small resort with well equiped individual rattan covered huts. They have been designed with a touch of flair, even if the steps don`t correspond with the door.They are... More

We are a family with a 4.5yr and had a pleasant 9-day stay but we quickly determined that other parts of KD beach were more to our liking - much cleaner and more restaurants and generally, better beach/sand. The place needs some significant tlc. The bar is very run down, though pleasant enough because it is on the beach. Our... More

I booked this hotel on a reccomendation from a friend who had stayed years before and I was delighted to find it was just as great as they had said. We paid £200 for 5 nights including breakfast...for both of us! We had a little "beach" hut and a connected bathroom. It had air conditioning, tea and coffee facilites, dvd... More

The good: We paid only 85USD for 3 pax for our 3D2N stay here as it was green season. Breakfast was included and there was wifi in the villas. Baan Saladan is just a few minutes away by motorbike. The downside: We were very apprehensive when we first saw the muddy entrance.. The resort looked (and is) a little old... More

Everything about Ancient Realm was just a little bit old and tired, from the incredibly pot-holed driveway to the tatty beachside bar. The decor of the bungalows is dated: I'd say they haven't seen any serious attention since the early '90s. And the outdoor bathroom was just a bit sad. The "decorative" rocks were sparse and grubby, the shower was... More

We stayed at the Ancient Realm Resort & Spa in Koh Lanta in May which was in the green season. The place had a rustic vibe and though quite basic it was definitely value for money. The entrance was narrow and reception area is a bit old looking which made us feel quite apprehensive about the place at first. That... More
