Hotels in Layan, Phuket

The hotel is really good! The rooms are excellent, very clean everywhere, and it smells pleasant. The staff are friendly, and the service is at a good level — I liked everything. The only significant downside is the location. The hotel is far from civilization: there are practically no shops or other infrastructure nearby. So, it can be inconvenient without transportation. Overall, the hotel left a very pleasant impression, especially if you are looking for cleanliness, comfort, and good service.

We stayed in the Spa Pavilion villa and while the villa was spacious with a few thoughtful things to make the room pleasant, more training is needed for the cleaning staff. We could tell that the villa was not cleaned properly as waste in the same area stays in the same place for the 3 nights we were there. Request for amenities top up was also inconsistent - we had to keep requesting through their app and through phone and yet the request keeps getting incorrect or not delivered. Overall staff were polite and attentive however we experienced a bad experience where at check out while we were querying some items and also still in conversation, the staff just walked away. Staff training is definitely somewhat lacking in a few areas. Positively, most staff were good and kudos to that. Service was pleasant mostly. Breakfast was wonderful and the service staff at Alto were amazing.

Overall, it's a decent resort with helpful and friendly staff. The parking is open-air (no roof). There's ongoing construction around the resort, so it's dusty and noisy outside near the road. Some rooms face the road, while others face the courtyard and pool, which are quiet. The standard rooms are small; good for one person, but a bit cramped for two. Also, keep in mind these aren't apartments – the rooms don't have a kitchenette (meaning no cutlery, microwave, etc.). There's no place to dry clothes or towels. So, the rooms are generally small. However, there are other room categories and several villas available. The gym is generally good, with plenty of equipment. There are boxing accessories, but no punching bag. There's a lack of common areas for leisure activities – no table tennis, game console, billiards, or grounds for walking. Across the street, there's a 7/11, and nearby, a Thai restaurant next to the road, which currently sees a lot of construction vehicles and trucks – so it's probably not a pleasant place to sit, and it's expensive. There's nowhere to walk outside the hotel; no sidewalks. Overall, it's a bit boring. Layan Beach is a 5-minute drive away, and the hotel provides a scheduled shuttle every hour. A Padel club is within walking distance. I'm not sure what a standard room costs during high season; I stayed in May for 1800₽ per night.

Pleasant staff, we were checked in right away. Green territory. Many pools. The room is excellent, with everything you need: a bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer, kettle, bottle opener, water, and a fully stocked fridge. 400 meters to the beach, I recommend this hotel. The breakfast is excellent with a lot of choices. You can also have lunch and dinner. Kids' room. Shop.

I've been coming here every year for two years in a row, and this time I booked 4 consecutive nights. I really love this hotel. I can enjoy both the gym and swimming. It's super quiet, and the facilities are all new. There's a restaurant inside, and local restaurants around the area. It's only a 2-minute walk to the beach.

The villa was fantastic with the private pool, proper smart TV with air play and a shuttle to the Layan Beach. There is a lonely cafe with limited options but you may find it a bit uncomfortableas the seating areas are scattered across many levels. The hotel, however, lack common area such as gym, breakfast area and swimming pool. You sometimes need a break from the room/villa but you won't get it here.

Staff were friendly, shoutout to Phai for a fun Muay Thai class and Liya for being attentive, switched to our native language which was sweet. Breakfast spread was not extensive but was enough. I appreciate the birthday cake :) The beach is nearby, about 10 mins walk. The hotel provides shuttle service too. Not a lot of crowd, which was nice. I didn't dare to swim as the waves were super strong. The 7/11 is close by too (along with several restaurants, dispensary and a massage place), and walkable is truly when walk...Constructions were ongoing, no proper sidewalk for pedestrians, it got scary when big lorries were speeding past you. I wouldn't really recommend staying here if you'd like to explore the island and your mode of transportation is e-hailing, as rides can cost up to 350bath one way. Our room was clean and spacious. The hotel itself however was having an ongoing construction during our stay, were a bit bummed that one of the pool was closed and no proper signage were put up around other affected area. Do note that you will be charged 100bath if you were to take the laundry bag home, which is a first for me. But overall we had a decent stay ＜3

Good apparatus, however, there is no microwave in the room, so that it is not possible to heat, for such types of apparatus simply it is necessary to put at least one oven for heating food. Inside the room cozy not big but not small, the bedroom isolated, was quiet to sleep.

Phuket's Layan Beach | Living the Thai Dream at Anantara 🌴 **About the Environment and Rooms** The hotel's design embodies a 'modern Thai Zen' aesthetic. The lobby boasts a soaring, high ceiling with a wooden dome and crystal chandeliers, exuding a sense of quality. Throughout the hallways, you'll discover intricate handcrafted wooden carvings and textiles from Southern Thailand, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. But the real highlight is the guest rooms! Most come with either a private pool or a large terrace. Open the floor-to-ceiling windows and you're greeted by endless blue sea and white sands – the view is absolutely breathtaking. Inside, the rooms feature rattan furniture and linen fabrics, with hand-painted wave patterns above the bed. These natural materials truly evoke a tropical island getaway vibe. The public areas are also enveloped by lush tropical plants, and the pool connects directly to the beach. Sitting in a thatched-roof pavilion in the evening, watching the orange-red sunset spread across the ocean, is incredibly therapeutic. 🚗 **Transportation & Surroundings** Located on the north side of Layan Beach, it's about a 25-minute drive from Phuket International Airport. Getting to Karon or Kata Beach also takes around 30 minutes, so transportation is quite convenient. What's more, the area feels very lively. The Layan Night Market (open Fridays and Saturdays) is right next door, just a 10-minute walk away. It's incredibly convenient for an evening stroll and trying local street food, so you don't necessarily have to dine at the hotel. That's a huge plus!
