Rooms were dated and no bedside tables. No free sun beds as hotel was overcrowded. We had 3 nights booked and left after 1 night. On checkout no-one asked why we were leaving early or how are stay was. Poor selection of food for lunch and buffet breakfast. We stayed here in 2011 and it is sad that the hotel is no longer a luxury experience.

The staff throughout the resort were amazing and our 2 year old loved it. We would not hesitate to book again.

You could have a good experience, we did not

For a high-end accommodation, they are overly concerned about charging guests for everything.They are also very stubborn with helping resolve problems - didn’t give us the room we booked, no ac the first night, no water for washing/toilet the next morning; and they were rude to us for complaining about it and asking for a resolution. I’m sure most people have a great stay here, but we did not. I expected more for a $600 CAD per night room.

Property is beautiful. Rooms are average. Beach is rocky. Location is remote. Breakfast is subpar. Coffee at breakfast is a Nescafe machine. Hotel gives you a card to keep track of the towels you request throughout your stay. Everything is extra. Property is pretty kid-oriented. Sevice is frankly terrible. If you’re used to luxury and good service look elsewhere.

This its beautiful resort that has gorgeous grounds providing natural beauty. The cottage we had was modern, clean, with plenty of space. It was not lavish but in good taste. The staff and service throughout the resort are among the best of any place I have stayed.

The only caveat - is that a good number of rooms are built on steep hillside. The hotel will provide shuttles to and from these rooms, but you should check if you have any problem with steep streets and hills (albeit well maintained.)

The prices for food are a bit high. But you can walk to the nearby village for excellent local food that isn't costly. The food at the resort, however, was excellent. Tip is to eat at the pool bar for dinner to have a great view, and have pretty much the same food as in the restaurant.

A Gem in Koh Lanta

Our stay at Rawi Warin was a highlight of our Thailand trip. Our beachfront villa exceeded expectations as it was spacious, comfortable, and you really can't beat the view. The small pool we had as a part of our villa was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a few beverages. The resort in general was absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. The staff was all very friendly and helpful in every interaction we had with them. We had the best massage of our trip at their spa and were well taken care of at a modest price. With many things to do on the property, we were never bored and always felt like there was more to do on the island. Had we more time, we would've done an island hopping excursion. Also just note, at low tide, swimming in the ocean is limited to smaller area due to rocks but during the day and at high tide the water is amazing. All in all, I would love to come back and spend more time at Rawi Warin.

Our favorite resort of our entire trip. One of the nicest resorts we've ever stayed in ANYWHERE in the world. It was beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous landscaping. The details are amazing. Amazing pool (infinity) and beach. Excellent food. The breakfast was superb. The room was very nice and the bathroom was fabulous. Big bathtub and big shower. All very modern and clean. My only complaint was the extremely large pillows, but the second day I was able to get some slightly smaller. The service was amazing all around, every person we came in contact with.

The rooms were comfortable, quiet, very clean and had all amenities. The wifi was on point. Our room was at the top of the resort with beautiful views and they provide a shuttle service to the pools and beach area.

Food is amazing and reasonably priced with many choices. The pools and beach are very clean and well kept. The grounds of the resort are stunning.

Nice hotel and grounds but food was hit and miss

We really enjoyed the grounds within the hotel, however the food here was not so great, particularly on the first night my partner and I ordered a sea food platter and a cocktail each costing us around 3000 baht. For this amount of money we were expecting something special, however what came out was a load of overcooked mussels, prawns and squid. The squid in particular was inedible. When complaining we were given an apology and a promise they would inform the kitchen, this in my opinion is not acceptable since it does not help us at all, no reduction of bill etc. In addition to the above a few times during breakfast when we chose fruit that was not covered we both had upset stomachs, the following day we went to breakfast early and noticed a lot of flies on the uncovered food. Based on these food related experiences I would say the resort is NOT worth the 5 star price that you pay for it and I doubt I will be returning.

Not ideal for travellers that like to venture out

Overall a very nice, upscale hotel in Ko Lanta. If you are vacationing with your family and looking for an all-in-one resort with amenities, access to the beach, etc., this place is for you. If you're looking to venture out and explore the town, this place may be a bit more than you need. For us, this hotel was not a good fit - we prefer smaller, boutique hotels vs. massive resorts like this. Not the fault of the hotel - this was our fault when selecting the hotel.

One downside: we were given a room on the hilltop, and while they have golf carts that are willing to transport you to the top, it was inconvenient so we ended up walking up every time - a bit exhausting.

The onsite spa was excellent - while expensive, one of the best massages I've ever had.

Upscale hotel

My husband and I came here on our honeymoon for 2 nights
Location: close To small restaurants and bars little shops... it’s not too crazy here town goes to sleep pretty early it’s quiet compared to krabi or
Phuket. About 5-10 Min walk down the road
Hotel: huge property with one main infinity pool which is nice. Beach is out front but sand is more rough than soft. The beach is more rocky. Water is nice and blue. There’s a strip of little beach bars down the way which were so cute
Our villa was 150 stairs up we made the climb every day but maybe not as easy
For older people. They do have a on demand shuttle that will bring you to your villa. Hotel is mostly families older folks, quiet.
Room: villa was very nice and clean. No complaints. The mini bar was not free and pretty expensive.
Restaurants: we ate one night at the restaurant
As it was raining and we were hungry but it is expensive. Personally we loved going for a walk and trying out the little restaurants. It was a lot
More affordable:)
Breakfast buffet (included) was fantastic a lot
Of variety to choose from!
Spa: we had a massage the first day. It was
Nice but expensive. We asked to use the steam room and told it would cost extra. The next day we went out to the street and had a great massage for half the price :)

Amazing hotel with great staff and views

Super great staff from when we arrived to when we left. Beautiful grounds from lotus flowers to monitor lizards,frogs,geckos etc. The view from our room was amazing from dusk till dawn. The pool was very clean with plush towels and umbrellas for everyone. Breakfast was always stalked with goodies and surprises every morning.ie. Honey off the comb, chocolate fountain. The night always ended with us sitting in bean bag chairs at the beach listening to the waves by the fire on the beach. Very romantic. I think it was a perfect time to go to chill out from the city life. Best hotel in my books so far and we have been to a lot.

Immaculate resort - and exceptional service

We spent six days - actually two times three days, as we were so delighted with the place that we extended our stay - at Rawi Warin Resort. The rooms were fabulous, the setting was exquisite (so beautiful and well cared for!), there was an incredible amount of facilities and services, the breakfast buffet was amazing, and the staff's friendliness and service - at every single turn - was over and beyond duty and well into the realm of art.

It was a great base for day trips and for renting a scooter and exploring the island, and just off 'the reservation' there were a number of good local restaurants to supplement the great, but slightly pricy dining experience of the resort's own five star restaurant.

The rooms are in different villas and three story houses placed on the side of a hill with a beautiful sea view, so use the resort's internal shuttle service as you would an elevator (do!) - downhill in 30 degrees Celsius is fine, but uphill is a very sweaty 'Stairmaster' experience.

We recommend hugely!

Excellent hotel if you want a relaxing vacation.

We spent 10 vacation days at the Rawi Warin. We pre-arranged the airport shuttle to meet us at Krabi Airport. The hotel rep met us at the door and the van was there shortly after. We drove to the hotel and the check in staff was very business-like and welcoming. We enjoyed pool-days, and nice walks along the beach. There is a travel agent service on site to arrange tours and motorcycle rentals. This reduces the hassle a great deal as they take of everything. The breakfast buffet is amazing; I would rank it a solid five stars. The one minor negative was that the wifi was somewhat inconsistent; it was in and out. The hotel staff has been well trained and the majority speak good English.

The hotel is very good but old and it starts to show. Some of the room facilities were not working properly. Good price/quality ratio! Breakfast was very good though some days fruit selection was small. Practically, the beach cannot be used at that time of the year - no umbrellas and sun chairs on the beach. The sea is also quite rough.

Lovely grounds and one of the best swimming pools

Check in was slow due to staff not being able to converse in English .They tried their best which is acceptable. They now have a English speaking front desk lady by the name of Elle. Once settled in the hotel , we were content and one of the best resorts we have been ,though quite a distance from Ko Lanta . Perfect location for Island speed boat cruises . My wife fractured her ankle and the hotel staff were extremely helpful and cannot thank them enough for what they did . Check out was quick and staff extremely helpful .

Amazing !

Had an amazing stay. I don't really have any complaints besides a few too many stairs to climb when you're on holidays haha

I traveled here in shoulder season so unfortunately the ocean pool was not available at this time but other than that a very beautiful Resort

Wonderful getaway!

The hotel grounds were beautiful and the beach was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to help you enjoy yourself and were always smiling. The hotel ground are a bit hilly but the hotel provides a car to drive you around if you prefer, however we didn't mind the walks. There are a lot of jungle-esque features around the hotel however the hotel does a great job maintaining the misquotes etc. You can rent a motorbike across the street and travel the island easily so no need to stay only at the resort if you don't want to. Would stay again 100%.

We did not spend much time at the hotel but when we were there it was nice. Breakfast was delicious and complimentary. The grounds are beautiful and our room was great. Warning to people traveling to Thailand, if you are staying at 4-5 star hotels, the hotel assumes you have money, which my wife and I are not, so everything at the hotel is ridiculously expensive. For example taxis, day trips, transfers, spa etc..if you leave the resort and walk down the street you can find the same service for a fraction of the cost. We have stayed at several 5 star hotels during our visit to Thailand and have found this to be the case everywhere.

Fabulous hotel, worth the money.

Well worth the money. Stayed for ten days, and had seen and done everything on the island and surrounding islands. Great place to relax with beautiful beaches.

service and communication - terrible

While the resort is lovely and we stayed at their best suite ; things that bothered us very much-
1. Lack of English speaking staff
2. Lack of prompt service
3. Lacked enough buggies for transportation

Very nice resort! Great beach, pool and location

We stayed just one night but would like to stay longer. The beach and swimming pools are really enjoyable. There are some other beaches at walking distance, with very fun waves. Hotel is beautiful and room amenities have a great quality. We had to head to the airport early, so we didn't enjoyed breakfast there, but they prepared a boxed one for us. Very kind, but can be improved.

Absolutely Beautiful!

This is the nicest resort we have ever stayed at anywhere. It was like a movie set from South Pacific! I cannot fault anything. Ko Lanta in itself is a bit like stepping back in time compared to Phuket, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. When you are on this resort, you are, however in your own lovely world.

If you are a pool person this will top just about anything you have seen before.

Breakfast was super. We normally do not eat dinner at the hotel or resort, but did here both nights in a very romantic setting and enjoyed a wonderful Thai supper at reasonable rates. The servers were discrete and smiling and everyone, including the guests, seemed very happy.

Every staff member at the resort was genuinely extremely courteous and wanted to insure we were happy. A Totally professional organization.

We definitely will return for a longer stay.

Excellent hotel with good sea view

We had a great time staying at Rawi Warin. We had booked sunset pool villa. When we reached the hotel we were welcomed with some tea. The checkin process was smooth. The resort is located in the middle of Koh lanta making it easy to visit both south and north end of the island. You can rent scooters and go around the island.
The staff is very nice. They were quick to respond to all kind of requests. Wifi is excellent even on the hill top villa. Breakfast was okay for me. May be because I'm a vegetarian and there is not much to indulge in. Sea view is excellent. During our checkout the staff even packed us breakfast. This was really sweet. I would recommend staying at this resort if you like some peace with good sea view.
I dint use infinity pool as we had our own pool but it looked excellent and very well maintained
Thanks for making our stay comfortable. I would only wish of the staff could speak and understand more English. It would have helped us to interact and engage more with local staff.

Amazing time great pool

We stayed 2 nights and never left the resort. The breakfast buffet was wonderful! The infinity pool is out of thus world! We loved staying at this resort. We didn't do any spa because the prices are high for Thailand. Also the beds were very hard and difficult to sleep on. However spending the day at the pool was fantastic.

A beautiful resort that gets a big tick in all boxes. Great breakfast, great staff and very spacious and comfortable rooms. Great views from uphill but it is a steep hill so mention any mobility issues you may have when making reservation - ground floor rooms still have a lovely outlook over the ponds and beach. Plenty of amusements provided within the resort so a great choice during monsoon season. Lots to keep the kids amused also. An excellent resort style holiday choice for all. Loved my stay here. Top recommendation.

Great place to relax

After some mishaps on Ko Lanta, fortunately we found this place literally next door. It is fantastic. The food, setting, beach and service is lovely. It's a little more expensively (but still not compared to British prices) than we planed but we'll worth the extra. Great to spend some time relaxing and an easy ride to the national park for a day out
