“Excelent!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights. It's a beautiful hotel, built on a cliff and there is a great view to the sea. There is a very good atmosphere, relaxing and quiet although there were a few families with children but there were a lot of couples too. The food was very good and so was the service and the staff. The town of saladan is very close- 5 min drive- there are free shuttles from the hotel and you can get a tuk tuk from the taxi station at the enterance of the hotel for 50 bht per a person. recommended in saladan- "the frog" restaurant and the "barracuda bar". the closest beach to the resort is klang dao- there are a lot of resorts and restaurants there and a few bars- we recommend the "indian" bar on the beach, and bar & restaurant with good and chip food- "vee vew". on the street of klang dao there is a very nice bar called "fat monkey"- to get to klang dao you can either take a nice walk on the beach which takes 20-25 min or take a tuk-tuk for 50 bht a person which takes 5-7 min. The beach after "klang dao" is "long beach" and on the street there are a few good places- "galaxy" bar&resturant, "funky monkey" bar and an excellent restaurant called "red snapper".
we had a great time in lanta and its definitely on of the best resorts on the island!

Room Tip: we recommend the ellegance deluxe room on 2nd floor (and probably not near the pool)

“My best stay ever...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Was there for our honeymoon, given the most strategic pool access room in Crown Lanta - notably room 1111. Unforgetable experience as we're greeted with complimentary champagne on our arrival. Everything was near to perfect & made us feel very eager to extend our stay there, unfortunately we had pre-booked a return flight. Everything was well taken care of, many thanks to the friendly concierge & staff. Would definitely be back to Crown if we ever have the chance to visit Krabi again. Highly recommended for couples & family!

Tips to management: The room's LHS sliding net door & access pool light bulb need a fix.

Me and my family stayed here for 11 days in january 2012. delux room with direct pool access. Nice room size og nice bathroom. Daily cleaning good. breakfast also good but not exellent. This resort is in my opionon the best resort in north of ko lanta. info:tuk-tuk price to saladan is about 100bath to town (saladan)..200 bath to long beach. Tip: try privat car with driver about 2000 bath inc fuel 1 day from 0900-1600. ask tuk-tuk driver number 08 for this. very realiable person. happy hour every day 1500-1700 oclock. half price.
2 computers free of use in reseption area. overall very good service from staff og good standard of resort.

Room Tip: delux room direct pool access.

“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

We stayed here in January for 10 nights. The staff couldn't do enough for my husband and I when we stayed, from the welcome, to day to day throughout our stay right until we were leaving. The breakfast served everything you could want and plenty of it. We were in the pool access accommodation and it was lovely and peaceful. It was easy to walk to the restaurants along the beach or if you wanted to go further afield the Tuktuks were cheap and plentiful. We loved this hotel and would recommend to anyone travelling to Ko Lanta. I took my daughter for a spa day which was on special offer at the time and we felt extremely pampered after the 5-6 hour session.
The one thing that spoilt it for my husband was that the bed was rather hard and took a couple of nights to get used to!!

Room Tip: Pool access - wonderful

“Great hotel but not "authentic" Thai”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We found a great deal for the Crown Lanta-only $98/night. The hotel is self is really nice but extremely commercial. It can easily feel as though you aren't even in Thailand. The room is standard with no Thai decorations, but it is a nice room. Bed, sheets, towels, etc are clean and good quality. Bathroom is good, etc.. Service was really attentive. The pool area was enjoyable, but the hotel doesn't really have a beach. They have some stairs that lead down into a bay, but it isn't a nice beach. Also, the food is extremely expensive. The most disappointing thing about the hotel is the spa. We got manicures/pedicures, but it was so unprofessional. The girls who were doing it were sweat but really had no clue how to do it. They spent almost 2 hours just painting and repainting our nails and didn't even massage our feet/hands. The nail polish and products available were not spa quality. It was a huge disappointment because of the price we paid and the time wasted. Don't even bother with the spa.

Overall, it was a nice hotel but if you are looking for a more Thai experience I would stay somewhere else.
