Loved the pool access room we had. The morning sun was great. The only downside was the 114 stairs to get up to the room. If your older like myself and find stairs a challenge then maybe look for other easier access properties.

My husband and I just spent 4 nights at this resort. I can’t say enough about the staff! They were wonderful, especially Nuk at the front desk who helped us arrange a transfer off Ko Lanta. The resort is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was served every morning and the view from the restaurant was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Clean and serene with a treehouse feel
Great little place. Stayed here for 2 nights. the reception staff and all other staff we encountered during our stay were kind and welcoming. Also rented a scooter from them which was very easily organised. The room was clean and well appointed, you really feel like you’re sleeping in a treehouse due to the wooden structure of the room. So cosy and comfortable. Great nature sounds first thing in the morning. No issues with the bathroom; the shower was enclosed so no water leakage as other reviews have mentioned. Loved the chill out but underneath the room with the hammock and a beanbag (and overhead fan). The swimming pool is huge, clean and great for laps. The breakfast choice could be a little limited for some people but we love rice soup/congee so we were happy. I would definitely stay here again.

We had the 2 bed pool access room for 4 adults it was excellent being able to directly access the pool from your bedroom but there was only 2 bean bags to sit on no other chairs in property , views from our apartment over kangiang bay are beautiful the staff where excellent and breakfast was really good plenty of choice watch out for the monkeys though who come down looking for food the upstairs restaurant is closed and there is NO ALCOHOL. served or can be bought from downstairs restaurant as so if you want a wine or beer at lunch or dinner or any time you are out of luck but there is a 7-11 shop 2 mins away and the WHY NOT BAR a 5 min walk but prices are expensive for a beer 160 bht for a large beer in all it was an excellent place to stay this area is mainly Muslim so in restaurants you won’t be able to buy alcohol but the ones you can are pricey all in all it was a lovely place to stay and would come back again

Good location on Lanta and value for money
Great location in the little Kantiang beach town. Perfect selection of restaurants nearby. The 1 bedroom bungalow worked well for couple with baby (if using carrier not stroller on all the stairs to get there!) and good view and style. Only downside was lack of chairs by the pool and breakfast which had selection but did not seem very fresh and emptied out too quickly.

What a wonderful place this is. The staff are all so welcoming and helpful. The greetings and smiles we received from all throughout our stay were lovely. The accommodation is great- futon style beds with great views from the floor to ceiling windows. Separate bathroom area and lovely decking with hammock and bean bag underneath the bedroom. Ceiling fans and air conditioning throughout. We were given a cot for the baby too! The infinity pool is amazing. Warm and spacious with great views across to the bay. Breakfast is good. It is served by the pool with slightly different, eclectic options (mashed potato, banana fritters etc.!) to accompany the eggs, fruit, pastries each day. The beach is a five minute walk from reception and the village outside the hotel is packed with lots of good, cheap restaurants. This place is really worth booking and staying at. Can’t really fault it for the price.

The Alama Resort is a lovely place to stay and is kid-friendly. There are a lot of steps to navigate, though, so it's not best for people with mobility challenges. The only problems we had during our stay came from inaccuracies in the hotel description--it's about 7-10 minutes to the beach and there is no bar at the pool (or in the resort at all).

We absolutely loved this hotel. Koh Lanta was by and far the highlight of our trip to Thailand and that was in part due to Alama. We really enjoyed the beautiful views from our bedroom. Watching sunsets from the pool was simply amazing! Get ready to hear a lot of sounds at night - monkeys, birds, crickets - which we found fascinating. The staff were very friendly. We had to cancel a hotel-organized excursion just before departure and they were very understanding about it. The only negatives were that the maid had not replenished soap and tissue papers on the last day and the breakfast food was just ok.

Beautiful amenities. Pool and view from breakfast was stunning. A lot of cute and friendly cats on the property. We had a room with a view, so lots of stairs which was to be expected, but the paving stones were awkwardly spaced, so something to consider if you have issues with walking. Bathroom is downstairs from main room which is nice that its separated, but also awkward/scary at night. And no doors (just curtains) between toilet & shower and the rest of the space. Weak water pressure in the shower. AC wasn’t very strong. Super convenient scooter rental through the hotel. Free shuttle from the ferry, but the way back you had to pay.

One of our objectives when staying in Thailand was to try and find unique properties. We were looking to experience something that we could not at our usual vacation spots. The Alama resort did a great of providing a unique experience. We stayed 5 nights and were quite happy with our stay. We stayed in a single room partial ocean view bungalow. The room was quite rustic and unique. We liked the split level design. The AC had a tough time keeping up with the heat but sleeping was comfortable. The outdoor seating area with bean bag chair and hammock was awesome and we used it a lot. The bathroom did not have AC which depending on time of day and activity level was quite hot. The shower and toilet were fine and the bathroom/entrance area was big and convenient and had a mini fridge. The resort does not serve alcohol but they were fine with us enjoying a drink around the pool purchased at the near by 7-11. The resort breakfast was quite good and very reasonably priced. Each morning there was a buffet style breakfast by the pool that had the usual British/American style offerings (eggs, toast, pastries, juices) as well as a daily Thai style offering. This was one of our better breakfasts and was well organized. The pool was quite nice and we had no troubles finding seating around the pool and the beanbag style loungers were pretty cool. The area around the hotel was great for us. Easy walking distance to the town and beach. The why not bar has daily fire shows

The property is beautiful and it seems like they have a lot that they offer, but my husband and I were very disappointed. The pool and breakfast were up a ton of stairs which wouldn’t have been so bad if we had any relief from the heat in our room. The air conditioning in our room didn’t work and only made the 95 degree weather more uncomfortable. We couldn’t get cold water in the shower so we couldn’t cool down. The bathroom was downstairs and every time you would go, you would drop sweat because the “air conditioning” is up stairs in the bedroom. Half of the lights in the room didn’t work and there were 30 light switches to try and figure out. Last but now least, we booked a mini bus from the hotel to our next hotel in Ao Nang and we were told that the mini bus would take 3 hours and take us right to our new hotel. The bus took over 4 hours, the isles were stacked to the ceiling with luggage, the A/C again didn’t work, and they didn’t take us to our new hotel. The mini bus took us into Krabi town and made us pay AGAIN to get on another bus. The entire stay was frustrating and I’m just glad we were only there one night.

Amazing Resort in Koh Lanta
The resort is located in the south of the island, a nice, more quiet part of Koh Lanta. However, the resort offers everything you could wish for - from an amazing pool, nice restaurants to scooter rental (a must when staying in Koh Lanta) and other tours. The surrounding area offers some nice beach-bars and restaurants as well as some local shops. The rooms are nicely designed and offer a lot of privacy. The beds are comfortable, the breakfast is nice and all staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. We can only recommend Alama to everyone visiting Koh Lanta!

The room was very nice. The pool was fantastic. Breakfast each morning was nice as well. The staff were fantastic each day. They were very helpful for us. The one blip was that we rented a motor bike and it had a leak in the gas tank. We were asked to pay to put gas in it to confirm this after we had already done so. Other than that it was very nice. The spa connected to the hotel was fantastic as well with the aloe vera massage, perfext for after a day on the beach.

Tree Top Bungalow, Ocean View - 10 Min to Beach
-Room: We booked the private bungalow and ended up with the highest one at the very top of the hill - which meant we had an amazing view of the ocean but long hike up. We were seriously out of breath after what felt like a million stairs every time we left the resort. Very close to great infinity pool and the restaurant though. There are many bungalows (some are much lower but without a view). -Beach is about 10 minute walk away and close to a few restaurants/bars/ 7-Eleven -Concierge was very helpful by email even before we showed up (We messaged the hotel right through Expedia to arrange a car) and they even helped me call another hotel. We rented scooters right from the hotel. Negatives: We had to leave at 5:30am to get back to the Airport on a tight schedule and the hotel assured us they would have staff come to our room to pick up our bags and carry them down the million stairs. We triple checked this as we had quite a few bags. We waited for 15 minutes and no one came and we couldn't be late so we navigated in the pitch black (no lights on anywhere) and carried our heavy bags down. I pulled all my arm muscles but the van driver was there waiting at the bottom - no staff anywhere. -The rooms don't have a phone to call the front desk for any issues (but isn't 24/7 anyway) -Also, if you arrive early, they don't have a room to store your bags as usual, they just leave the bags sitting in the front Outdoor exposed lobby which meant I was worried about them.

We loved everything about Alama. The staff is the best part and are the kindest people you will ever meet. Ahmed: you are a delight and Rich: you took such great care of us for our entire stay. The room (#15) was spectacular and was beyond our expectations; it's basically two villas (one for kids and one for us!) and a deck/balcony with the most amazing views. the food for breakfast each day was also wonderful and had good variety for all. And the NYE celebration they put together was also so thoughtful and fun for all the families there. Can't say enough good stuff.

Decent stay at the Alama
The good: - The staff is friendly and very keen to help with any issues - The hotel is located in the southern part of the island which is close to some lovely beaches but about 20 minutes drive from the main part of town which may be a negative for some - the breakfast was quite good with some variety - direct access to pool was a plus The not so good: - the room was very basic, lamps not working, sparsely decorated. Bed wasn’t that comfortable. Corners were a bit dusty - trash was outside our room at check in and left there for 24 hours. - lots of stairs to get to the rooms. - for the price we paid thought the room wasn’t worth the money overall

Great family hotel with view of bay
Took a 2 bedrooms unit up on the hill. If you are able and don't mind the climbing, it has one of the best views. The 2 bedrooms are separated (on different stories) in a self-contained bangalow style "house". There's an open common area with a hammock and bean bags to chill. Porters where super helpful bringing all out bags up there (and later down when we checked out) Beds are comfortable. Toilet in the 2nd (lower room) a bit quirky as it does not have a door. If you are a couple in that room, I guess it is ok. Breakfast was...breakfast. Good spread but it does get boring. Eating place around Alama are great - Phad Tha Rock especially. Night time pretty quiet but walking distance to Why Not Bar or restaurants by the beach. Staff are helpful and friendly!

Awesome view
An awesome view from the pool and higher rooms. Construction going on next door so get the higher rate rooms for view, great under-room deck with hammock and quiet. Nice restaurant with simple but tasty breakfast. Other eating options and a beautiful bay nearby. Pleasant staff. Not recommended for the elderly or people with mobility issues as there are a lot of steps.
