We stayed a Pimilai for 4 nights in May. Absolutely beautiful property, well maintained and well trained, fabulous staff. Nothing was to much trouble for them. Very relaxing and great for unwinding. Several local restaurants within walking distance if you don't want to eat at the resort. The transfer service is fantastic from the airport to resort. You arrive feeling... More

We stayed at Pimalai at the end of April beginning of May 2012 and were absolutely blown away by this resort and certainly deserves the numerous accolades it has received over the past years. Every detail of this resort is absolutely magical, cannot recommend it highly enough, cannot wait to return. More

I recommend this absolutely awesome property to anyone, who is after a beautiful property, where the staff make you feel so welcome and the amenities are fabulous. The location is ideal for a relaxing or romantic getaway. I'm not one who normally lounges by the sea, but I was so drawn to the beach daily. The restaurants are wonderful, catering... More

It's a bit of a trek to get to Pimalai -- but well worth it! It is near flawless if you're looking for an idyllic spot for total downtime self-indulgence. From Hong Kong, you fly to Bangkok, then a 50 minute van ride, then 50-minute boat ride -- but the staff ensures that all transfers are quick and painless. Pimalai... More

We have just returned from an amazing stay at Pimalai. I have nothing to fault at this fantastic hotel. All the staff from the GM down to the bellboys were friendly and helpful. The surroundings are beautiful. The spa is the best I have ever visited. Breakfast delicious. My husband and I had a 2 hour massage each every day... More

Wow! It's hard to put into words the beauty of this palce as it just won't do it justice. Hopefully the photos will help a little! We stayed here early April for our honeymoon and from the moment we arrived to Koh Lanta on the private speedboat (arranged by our travel agent through Pimalai) we were blown away with how... More

We stayed at Pimalai April of 2012. I highly recommend the speed boat trip from Krabi to the resort. Get off the plane wearing your sunscreen and boat attire, don't miss this event! This was one of the prettiest resorts we have ever visited. The grounds, spa, restaurants, pools, and our room were amazing. We really did not have any... More

We arrived by shuttle bus and then speedboat from Krabi airport which whisked us to the hotel in about 100 minutes. On arrival, cold towels and a welcome drink. Then to the room - suddenly, a problem: they couldn't unlock our door - and tried and tried, then had to go to get another key, which also didn't work. Eventually... More

This was our second visit to Pimalai - we visited last year to find a wedding venue and returned 2 weeks ago to get married there. I have the privilege of travelling regularly and globally for work (albeit, its not reflected on this website!) but, as such, I have reasonably high expectations of 5* hotels and resorts... With that in... More
