Koh Larn Hotels with Pools

"Cleanliness: Being on the first floor near the pool, there were quite a few insects, and the hotel didn't provide any mosquito repellent, which was a bit disappointing. I guess it's on par with guesthouses and hotels in mainland China. Facilities: After spending time at the beach, I went directly to the pool. Many areas around the pool were quite slippery, and it felt like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, so it wasn't particularly clean. Service: The hotel didn't provide disposable toiletries like toothbrushes or toothpaste, which is a big deal. Also, the hotel is a bit far from 7-Eleven, so you'd need to ride a scooter for about 7 minutes to buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other necessities. There's a small snack shop about a two to three-minute scooter ride from the hotel, which offers good value for money. The hotel does provide scooters for rent at 300 THB, and the price isn't negotiable. However, the average price for scooters on the street is around 200 THB. If convenience is key, renting from the hotel is an option, but if you want to save money, you can ask around on the street for a 200 THB rental. For water activities, always remember to bargain; cutting the price in half is usually a good strategy."

"The hotel is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, there are several issues with the management system that need improvement. First, regarding room cleaning procedures: at most hotels and accommodations, the front desk keeps a spare key or key card so housekeeping can access rooms for cleaning when guests are out. At this property, guests are required to hang their room key outside the door until housekeeping finishes cleaning, sometimes as late as 2:00 PM. This is a serious security concern because anyone could potentially access the room while the key is left unattended outside. Second, if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful stay with good soundproofing, this hotel may not be the best choice. Noise from outside the room is easily heard throughout the day and night. Last night, shortly after midnight, I was awakened by a very loud group of people. When I went outside to investigate, I saw a group of guests drinking in the restaurant area located directly next to my room. The noise was so loud that I could not sleep. I politely asked why the restaurant was still open, as I had been informed during check-in that it closed at 10:00 PM. The guests told me that a staff member had opened the restaurant for them. I then politely asked them to lower their voices because my room was right next to the restaurant. I do not blame the guests at all. The responsibility lies with the hotel staff, who allowed the restaurant to be used after midnight despite the clearly stated closing time of 10:00 PM. Areas for improvement: 1. Guest safety and security — Guests should not be required to leave their room keys hanging outside their doors for housekeeping. 2. Enforcement of hotel policies — If the restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, that rule should be consistently followed. Future guests staying in rooms near the restaurant should not have to endure loud noise until 1:00 or 2:00 AM as I did. Overall, the hotel has potential, but better management and stricter adherence to its own policies would greatly improve the guest experience."

"We felt like we'd stumbled into paradise. It's a very quiet, secluded spot. We contacted the hotel in advance, and they met us at Naban Pier and also took us back there later. The ladies at the reception were very sweet. We were greeted with a welcome cocktail (margarita) and toffees. They processed our documents in just 3 minutes and handed us the key to a motorbike (which was free for us, included in the room rate). The room was clean, bright, and beautiful. Everything in the minibar was complimentary (the tea was delicious, excellent coffee, chips, nuts, cookies, raisins, drinks). They provide bathrobes, rubber and disposable slippers, toothbrushes with toothpaste, cotton swabs, a shower cap, a razor, combs, soap, and shampoo – everything you could possibly need. There’s also an extra beach bag and an umbrella. We booked a room with a bathtub and a sea view. The bathtub was large; two people could easily fit, even with my husband being 1.87m and me not being tiny. The view was stunning. Sunrise in the morning, the sea during the day, and Pattaya's lights at night. There were many lighting options you could turn on in the evening to create a romantic atmosphere. There's also access to a small terrace with very comfortable seating and an ashtray, for anyone who smokes. The mattress and pillows were very soft, and the bed linen was good. There were air fresheners in both the room and the toilet. The main pool is small, but you can spend some time there in the evening. I must especially mention the breakfast. It wasn't just tasty, it was magnificent; everything was fresh. We couldn't eat it all – the portions were huge! We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. We will definitely come back here ourselves, next time for a whole week."

"The hotel is pretty small and simple. Clean enough to live comfortably. Free motorbike was a nice touch. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. My main disappointment though was with the location. Koh Larn (coral Island) was indeed quiet and comfy, but it barely had any corals, most of the reef was dead and in pieces. Probably too many tourists or has to do with too many boats and jetskis zooming around the island. There was also too much trash on the beaches (we've tried all of them and only a couple of them were clean). Parasailing was lame, heights nowhere near exciting and it finished within 5 minutes. All in all, best to get a snorkeling tour on other islands or try parasailing or jetskis elsewhere. It's cheaper and more fun"

"Location and price excellent. New owners so they are changing things. I think better mattresses and they must understand the competition from other places. For example wanted to charge 400baht for bike rental per day with fuel but almost all others are charging 300 baht"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay at Cara Cara Hotel – Highly Recommend I had an excellent experience staying at Cara Cara Hotel Koh Larn. Everything that was advertised was exactly as described—no surprises, no disappointments. The pool was a highlight. It’s open 24 hours (from what I experienced), and it’s the perfect size. There’s both a deep end and a shallow area, which makes it great whether you want to swim, relax, or just sit in the water and cool off. The room itself was very comfortable. The bed was soft and made for a great night’s sleep. One thing I really appreciated was that the AC was already running before check-in, so the room was nice and cool the moment we walked in—huge plus in Thailand’s heat. Another great perk was the minibar, which was fully complimentary. That’s something you don’t see often and definitely added to the overall experience. Overall, this hotel delivered exactly what it promised and then some. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Larn."
