Rawi Warin Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at Rawi Warin Resort & Spa and would happily return. The resort has a beautiful setting, friendly staff, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax. A special thank you to Eric, who went above and beyond to arrange an unforgettable private dinner for us featuring fresh-caught tiger prawns. It was one of the highlights of our trip and a perfect example of the outstanding service we received throughout our stay. We stayed in the Sunset Pool Villa, and it was incredible. The views were breathtaking, the privacy was exceptional, and having our own pool made it the perfect place to unwind. The resort is also undergoing renovations, which we viewed as a positive. It’s clear the management is investing in the future of the property, and we’re looking forward to seeing the finished result. The work did not detract from our stay. The airport transfer service was also top-notch. The vehicle was comfortable, professional, and made the journey completely stress-free. Even with the car ferry to the mainland, it only took about 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach Krabi Airport, so getting to and from the resort was much easier than we expected. Overall, this was a fantastic stay with outstanding hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and attention to detail that made it truly memorable. We highly recommend Rawi Warin and can’t wait to come back."

Nice restaurant (we only really ate one restaurant few minutes from the hotel on the beach called somewhere else was yummy, very affordable and also great view of the beach). We’d definitely stay at Lanta Sand again. "

Lanta Miami Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Lanta Miami was bliss. This is such a peaceful place and fantastic for a 3 star resort. We had a family beach bungalow and it was spacious with 2 king beds. Daily cleaning was really appreciated. The pool area does need a bit of updating but there’s so much shade and the pool is kept so clean. Being right on the beach was wonderful. We snorkelled immediately off the beach. The restaurant is great. We ate there almost the whole time as other places weren’t any better. You can get alcohol from the restaurant too. Local amenities good, walking distance to what you’ll need. We had stayed in Phuket the week before at a 4 star which was hugely disappointing. Lanta Miami was what we needed, chilled, peaceful and beautiful. "
