Relax Bay Resort, Koh Lanta, Krabi 81150 - Review ...
One of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. Why? Because of the atmosphere and feeling of the place. A piece of art rather than sheer luxury. |
Excellent! |

Hotellet var över förväntan och personalen mycket trevlig. Läget på hotellet är inte det bästa eftersom det är långt till andra matställen m.m. Restaurangen på hotellet höll bra standard men är relativt dyr.Vi var där under lågsäsong och det är verkligen dött på Koh Lanta. |

We enjoyed our stay very much. Staff is friendly and the restaurant provides good service.
The location is very nice, the beach is a dream. We already miss the beautiful sunsets in the beach bar... |

We booked in September and paid 20% deposit. One week before arrival I sent an e-mail just to check. Got the information that Relax Bay dit not have any room for us, some doublebooking had been made. Instead they suggested another resort in another beach. Really bad! We were very upset. |
Thought we were safe when booking through an orginisation but were not. Very disappointing. But we got great help from Mr Wisil and assistants to get another resort. The resorts were Andaman and Nakara so everything turned out fine but a lot of worrying of course. |

Roof bugs quite loud during night, hard to sleep, reflecting the resort being natural and relaxing. Road out to town is not welcoming, muddy and dusty, make your trip out of resort on foot qutie difficult. Nice restaurant, |

Eine schöne Anlage , die wahrlich zum relaxen einlädt. Noble Einfachheit vor übertriebenem Luxus. Freundliches Personal. Auch für Familien mit Kindern geeignet. Alles gepflegt und sauber. Die Bar am Strand beim Sonnenuntergang einmalig! Mit dem Essen und dem Service im Restaurant waren wir allerdings weniger zufrieden. Fisch (red snapper) war nicht frisch (sogar nicht ausgenommen und hat entsprechend gestunken), Service zwar freundlich aber dilettantisch (bringen lauwarme Suppe und Hauptmahl zusammen, so dass auch das an und für sich gute Rindfleisch mit Gemüse kalt gegessen werden), Frühstücksbuffet eintönig. Gott sei dank gibt es auf dem Strand einfache Restaurants der Einheimischen mit sehr frischen und preisgünstigen Fisch. Transfer zum Flughafen 2 Stunden für ca 60 € ein Weg. Alles in allem aber positive Bilanz. |

Poor lightning in bungalow. Not furniture enough. No place to place clothes or any stuff. Not too smart with an open showerspace that was lockable from outside(!) which made the bungalow impossible to lock secure... |

Relax Bay Resort, Koh Lanta, Krabi 81150 - Review ...
After travelling for more than 2,5 weeks all throughout Thailand and therefore having experienced a lot of generally nice Thai town hotels and beach resorts, we finally stayed at Relax Bay Resort in Koh Lanta for 5 days. We had a nice and clean, non-luxurious fan bungalow located near to the beach. Unfortunately there were some things that tempered our delight: Some members of the front staff didn\ t speak English properly and therefore weren\ t able to give us proper information, which led to several misunderstandings during our stay, e.g. on check-out we should pay additional 1500 Baht for breakfast we didn\ t book and didn\ t have. Resort owned restaurant and beach bar are very expensive, you aren\ t allowed to bring your own drinks to the beach. There are hardly any possibilities to spend a nice evening in the near surrounding as it is very quiet and often we were the only guests in the restaurants and bars near to the resort. \r\nAltogether Relax Bay Resort should be a nice place to spend a relaxing holiday, if you just want to do sunbathing without any other activities and don\ t want to get any further information at front desk. |

Positive :
- Very nice resort, calm and beautiful decoration on a beautiful setting (private beach)
- Very good restaurant
- Very nice staff
Negative
- Some bungalows seem isolated and need to be refreshed..
- Rats in our bungalow (I m sure it was an isolated case since our bungalow was isolated from the rest and needed to be refreshed)
- When getting back to hotel at night, long walk on a dark road with some dogs but they are harmless..
SUMMARY : Except for the rats, this hotel is a real recommendation and I would certainly go back.. This time I ll double check my bungalow before putting my suitcase down.. |
Very easy, quick and reliable |

Beautiful location, set right on the beach, lovely beach bar bar. Very, very relaxed and chilled. Rooms are on the basic side, but as we were only staying 2 nights, this wasn t really a problem for us. Mosquito s are a bit of a problem here. |

Beautiful and quiet resort, for us just al little to quiet (low-season and only one other couple in the resort...).
Pleasent staff.
Negative comment: they didnt know that we were coming, although we did book via the internet and also no airport pickup while we did request it. Therefor the start of our stay at relax bay was not very relaxed... |

On the outside Relax Bay is everything it says it is, relaxing. Exactly what you imagine when you think of Thailand.It is a fantastic looking resort located in the beautiful Koh Lanta. We booked a fan bungalow which was not too pricey and completely adequate for what we wanted. To get into town or visit other resorts we had to travel but this did not phase us as we were looking for something secluded. Unfortunately, out of our 3 week trip Relax Bay was the least enjoyable place we stayed at. We often felt like we were not welcome which was strange as we found the Thai people on a whole to be absolutely gorgeous. Making a huge assumption I felt that the staff and vibe at Relax Bay would be completely different with different management. We did stay an extra night in Koh Lanta at another resort and as we expected the staff were brilliant and we felt welcome. |

Relax Bay Resort, Koh Lanta, Krabi 81150 - Review ...
Having traveled to Ko Lanta a few times, I was looking forward to sharing the experience with my childhood friend of 45+ years. After a lot of internet searching we choose Relax Bay-it sounded like what we were looking for.
Arriving at the resort staff seemed harried and treated us so. Luckily a friendly, smiling fellow named Man had picked us up from the ferry and was a good first impression.
Although only the family bungalows are beachfront, we at least expected a beach view of some sort, especially as we made the booking 8 months in advance. Sorry Diedier (owner/manager), a dirty swimming pool isn t the view one hopes for at a seaside resort.
Upon closer inspection we realized it really IS a secluded bay with difficult access to kilometers long beaches on either side. It was suggested that we crawl over the rocks. ???? How were we going to have long beach walks and sample the bars made entirely of materials that wash up on the beach during the rainy season? Fisherman s plastic float balls turned into beautiful lights with punched out designs and thai cushions on the beach where you can enjoy a cold Singha and star gaze was the experience we were looking for.
Clearly, Relax Bay wasn t that experience but half of our 7 night stay was already paid for so we hoped that a different bungalow might at least give us a view of the sea. Had Diedier heard our concerns and been hospitable we would have stayed despite it not being what we had hoped for. His attitude towards us was rude, to say the least. We immediately went in search of a new place to stay and checked out the following morning, forfeiting our deposit.
We did find the experience we were looking for on beautiful Khlong Nin beach with a happy, friendly Lanta Thai family-who invite everyone to join them in an impromptu game of beach volleyball each night when the sun starts to lose it s heat.
In all fairness Relax Bay is nice for family s with small children who don t want to venture out at night. The beach is protected from large waves and there aren t any bars nearby that may bother a child s sleep.
The lunch we had on our arrival was nice but we didn t like the feeling we might have to eat there most nights.
Oh..the beds were so hard that a 7 night stay would have been impossible anyway and if you re expecting the owner/manager/director to show you he s happy you re his guest-forget it.
In the end we got the experience we wanted due to Diedier s unwelcoming manner and for that we thank him. If he d been nice we would have felt obligated to stay and not had nearly as much fun as we did. |

We enjoyed our stay at Relax Bay. Very quiet and not much people on the beach. The only negative side was that we didn t have a mini-fridge in our bungalow so you are very dependent of the resort whenever you want to buy something to drink. The prices for the food is twice as much as in the town. But the place itself is gorgeous! Would recommend it. |
