You could see a lot of heart and effort has been put into the place by the young couple. Attention to detail is everywhere, everything is taken care of, and very beautiful rooms. Gardens and resort grounds are very well maintained, with not one stone out of place. Warm, friendly atmosphere and overall a great stay! All of the staff... more

We were pleasantly surprised at how private and tastefully decorated our room was. We had our own detached bungalow, outdoor washroom and private garden, where we were able to take our breakfast, if we so desired. The hosts were nice and very helpful--although they did charge us inordinately high prices for the tours we booked. (look around!) Lanta is a... more

Management response from
AncientRealm, Managing Director

Thankyou for your review, we are pleased that you liked and enjoyed our resort! The tour prices are the direct contract rates that we get supplied by the tour companies. In the green season it is harder to find tours that let you join into a group, which costs less, as most of the tours are done for private parties,...

I would also like to say a big thankyou to the staff of Ancient Realm Resort & Spa for making our holiday in Koh Lanta so lovely. After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, we thought we would give the resort a try, and we were happy that we did. So to waste no time here is my two cents also.... more

We are very pleased with the price and the value for money from this resort. We like the small resort atmosphere and the welcoming owners. We were afraid that it would be raining all the time after the plane touching down in krabi amongst grey clouds and stormy weather (turbulance much), but when we were driven to lanta, the sky... more

Stayed here last week and I also agree with the last two reviewers! This place is surely a gem standing out from the crowd of resorts on Koh Lanta! We really enjoyed staying at Ancient and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. If they had any teething problems in the beginning, which most hotels do, they have all been... more

We stayed here in March 08 for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We did not book the room and were driven here from the pier by a tuk tuk driver that recommended this place. They were full except for one seaview room, which was a good price so we took it. The rooms were a good size and... more

As I write this review, I am actually sitting in one of the suites of Ancient Realm. We have been here for three weeks now and checkout tomorrow, heading to Krabi. We have a computer inside our room, with free wireless internet, which is also good as my husband can use his apple iphone thing without the expensive network fees... more

We booked two beachfront bungalows staying four nights in January 2008. The view from the bungalows was beautiful and I believe it was worth the extra money compared to the other bungalows which had a view of each other. The beach itself was disappointing there were many rocks hidden under the water and the sand itself was not white. However... more
