Wonderful 8 night stay at Anantara Lawana. We had a family pool villa, fantastic accommodation, very clean and nice decor. Room was cleaned and turn down service daily. Plenty of bottled drinking water provided. Pool area well maintained. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Coffee in thailand is different to Australia but the iced coffee option was very nice. Kids club was fantastic, my 7 year old daughter asked to attend daily. The kids club staff named Tip and Tarn were especially lovely. Kids were able to feed the big fish daily. Easy to catch a taxi from hotel and reasonable price to most places on the island. 100% wpuld return and recommend. Read less

The welcome was absolutely great. Very overwhelming and went out of the way to check us in earlier than expected. At the night there was a movie being filmed there which restricted our access and experience within the property and the staff asked us to whisper which shouldn’t be the case as being a guest the minimum I should be able to do is to talk normally. Some staff were a bit racist and would only provide service that was visibly different to certain ethnicities which is not acceptable. Read less

If you're looking for a wonderful, quiet and relaxing break, this is the hotel for you. Small clusters of rooms hidden among trees with fantastic, attentive staff and a really convenient location. We had the most amazing stay in a pool villa and found everything superb. Really good air conditioning and superb breakfast! Highly recommend.
