Rawi Warin Resort and Spa

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Family Stay at Rawi Warin – Wildlife, Warmth & a Few Gaps We’re frequent travellers and regularly explore the world with our children, so we feel we have a good benchmark when it comes to family-friendly resorts. We spent two weeks at Rawi Warin Hotel (March–April 2026), and overall, it was a memorable stay with plenty of highlights—especially for nature lovers. 🌴 The Good Stuff The grounds are absolutely beautiful—lush, well-maintained, and full of wildlife. Waking up to monkeys on the balcony was a daily highlight! We also spotted squirrels, cicadas, butterflies, lizards, frogs, hummingbirds, herons, and even a pair of sea eagles by the beach. The large pond is fascinating, home to carp and catfish—but the real stars are the Asian water monitors (around 4–5 of them). Watching them appear at fish feeding time (10:00) to grab bread—and occasionally a fish—was incredible. The hotel really makes an effort with families: • Ice cream, popcorn, and candy floss treats for kids 🍦 • Bikes available to ride around the resort 🚲 • A lovely Friday movie night on the beach 🎬 Breakfast was excellent and varied, with plenty of choice. We mostly ate lunch by the pool, which was consistently good. Evening restaurants were also nice, but very expensive compared to local options—you can easily feed a family of four outside the hotel for £20–£30 including drinks. Staff were fantastic throughout—friendly, attentive, and efficient. Housekeeping kept our room spotless, and the rooms themselves were clean, comfortable, and had a nice balcony. The resort has 2–3 pools, including a children’s pool with a slide, which became the main social hub for kids. Other highlights: • The Lanta Lanta Festival was great fun • Thai culture is incredibly welcoming to families ❤️ • Beautiful weather throughout ☀️ • The beach is soft and scenic, with great snorkelling (though you’ll need sea shoes due to rocks and sea urchins) We had no trouble getting sunbeds in the first week, though it got busier in the second. The gym is well-equipped and open all day. The spa looks lovely but is pricey—especially compared to beachside massages nearby (~£10/hour and excellent quality). There’s also: • A handy gift shop (including sun cream) • A dive/snorkel shop with helpful staff and trip bookings • Reliable (though slightly pricier) hotel transfers ⚠️ The Not-So-Good The biggest downside for us was the lack of a proper kids club. There’s a small play area for younger children, but nothing structured or staffed—and nothing at all for older kids (8–15). Our children were even turned away from the pool room because it’s 16+, which felt like a missed opportunity. The local area is very quiet. We’re not sure if this was due to wider travel issues, but we often had to take taxis to find some atmosphere. Even Lanta Old Town was quieter than expected. While there were some activities available, many came at an extra cost, which added up. And while not the hotel’s fault—mosquitoes were relentless, so pack strong repellent! 🌏 Other Notes We booked trips via Viator: • Koh Ha / Koh Rok – stunning and well worth it • Phi Phi Islands – beautiful but extremely commercialised Koh Lanta itself feels quite different from other parts of Thailand: • Strong focus on diving and snorkelling • Fewer temples or cultural landmarks • Around 80% Muslim population, so some restaurants are halal and don’t serve alcohol—but the food is still fantastic The hotel had a good mix of nationalities—French, German, British (more in week two), plus Scandinavian and Australian guests. One final note: the evening humidity is intense, so pack accordingly or plan to do laundry regularly! ⸻ ⭐️ Overall we have to scale at 4 stars due to: A beautiful, nature-filled resort with excellent staff and family-friendly touches, but let down slightly by the lack of structured activities for older children and a very quiet local area. Would we return? Yes—for the setting and relaxation—but with adjusted expectations and for a much shorter period.

Where do I start when speaking of this breathtaking hotel ? From the moment you arrive, the staff ensure you feel extremely welcomed. All of them go above and beyond in their duties. This isn't a job to them, this is a way of life. Our room was clean, tidy and spacious. We had all the expected amenities; minibar, TV(connected by wifi with Google TV, Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime), hairdryer, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, a separate bath and shower. It was cleaned daily, kept spick and span by our lovely cleaner. We had paid for the buffet breakfast which was excellent, so many choices. Pastries, noodle station, egg station, western breakast, always a nice curry on offer. There were 3 coffee machines, which whilst not brilliant, were more than adequate. Water and juices, fresh fruit. Just so well stocked. The hotel has 4 pools, we only really used the main pool. But, myself and my daughter, did investigate the other 3 pools on the first day. Near the main pool is the towel station, also a place to buy food, drinks and ice creams. The hotel sits on the beach where you can go swimming, every day we were there was a green flag day, so very safe for snorkelling. Inside the sea sits one of the pools. I honestly can't see the point of making a small pool inisde the sea, but it is there nonetheless. Around the local area are plenty of small restaurants, well worth a trek out every night. There is a 7-eleven maybe half a mile down the road too. I didn't use the gym, but I did have a quick look in. There was a water station, looked like you had to take your own bottle. Towels were provided with a few machines like treadmills, exercise bikes, etc. It was more than adequate for the number of guests using it at any one time. There was a spa, a thai boxing ring, pool table, football table, bikes and go karts for the kids. Definitley plenty of options. The hotel did have an acivity program, which we hardly used, but it is there. All in all, we absolutley loved this hotel.

Rawi Warin is a unique luxury experience. What we really liked with Rawi Warin was their focus on sustainability and nature preservation. Everything from the ozone pool, to how the whole resort is tailored to fit into the existing environment and wildlife at Koh Lanta. The people working at Rawi Warin are sweet and professional and the food both breakfast, lunch and dinner is rich of choice and high on quality. We really appreciated the activities at the facility, many times led by the always helpful and knowledgeable employee, Dern. Everything from Tai Chi to Aquagym to towel folding. He knew it all. These activities were a great way for our family to have fun, and to connect with others. We would recommend Rawi Warin to everyone, especially families looking for a quiet and natural place, with lots of comfort and tranquility.

Lovely hotel in a good setting on the beautiful island of Koh Lanta. The staff were very friendly and the amenities were clean and everything you need. Room was good, if not a climb (good for our steps 😂). There are 4-5 good restaurants outside the hotel which offer good value, authentic Thai cuisine.

This hotel is lovely, a little peace of paradise. The staff are lovely and helpful, the buffet breakfast had everything you needed and the pool lovely. The beach changed throughout the day, calm and wonderful to swim in to rocky. You can walk out to a few restaurants which are local and service lovely food. Or you can get a tuk tuk for 100 baht to the next beach. We have a transfer arranged by the hotel , which was seamless. We just loved this hotel and were sad to leave. I would say as the Easter holidays it did get busy with children.

From the moment we arrived we loved the hotel, we were welcomed with a drink and cold towel, we were taken to our room by car along with our luggage, we had a tropical room which was one line away from the beach, it was very spacious and had a lovely balcony. The room had everything you needed including a mosquito machine and spray, hairdryer,safe,minibar, slippers, pool shoes. Great air con, huuuuuuge bed looked like 2 doubles pushed together. Tea/coffee making, lots of bottled water each day. The pools were stunning we used two of the three available, the main pool overlooked the beach, it was massive and had a jacuzzi part. Plenty of sun beds available with lovely long beach towels, there was also a lap pool and another one up the hill. The beach was good but too hot for us so we stayed poolside. They had a dock with a pool in the sea but we didn’t use it. The staff by the pool were all lovely and especially Mr Mee who made sure he introduced himself to all guests and once he had, he greeted you like family using your name every day(what a superstar). There were lots of staff so you were never left without a drink for long by the pool. The food at the pool bar was really good. Breakfast “oh my days” it was stunning, everyone was catered for, a full Thai menu. Indian menu, continental and good English, there was a lovely selection of fresh fruit, bread,pastries lovely desserts (yes desserts) which I had to try and included cheesecake, chocolate gateaux, banana cake, so good and a real treat. Each member of staff always greeted you when passing and really helpful The grounds were stunning lots of work making them look good. There are some small restaurants outside the hotel which we used and also a short tuktuk drive away to more lovely bars and beach restaurants. We got clothes laundered over the road for £4 for 4kg bargain Loved our stay here and didn’t want to leave.

Amazing location with a stunning pool and one of the most breathtaking panoramic views I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, their kindness and attentiveness truly set this place apart. I had such a great time doing abs workouts by the beach with Dern and Chamin, the sessions were energizing, fun, and definitely something I’m inspired to continue at home. The spa experience was equally unforgettable; getting my nails done by Noon and Pearl was pure relaxation, and their care and skill were exceptional. A special thank you as well to Yin (I hope I got your name right sorry!) who thoughtfully drove us around in the tuk tuk and made getting to our villa so easy and enjoyable. This place is undeniably beautiful, but what truly makes it special is the people. The team here goes above and beyond, they’re absolutely incredible, and they made our stay unforgettable. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Last December, my family, including two children, stayed in the beautiful Rawi Warin Hotel for a week over Christmas and we enjoyed every single thing about it. We were greeted on arrival by amazing manager Yard and her wonderful team, including Ploy, who took great care of us throughout our stay. The hotel and grounds were wonderful, including the lake, pool areas, restaurants and beach at the front of the hotel. The breakfast provided each morning was superb with the largest selection of top-quality food that we have ever experienced. The Watermark restaurant was exquisite with various menus available to cater for all tastes and at great prices too. Our daughter fell sick in the middle of our stay and Yard ensured that we had the best medical assistance available to us and organised some nice touches including delivering fruit to the room with a lovely note attached. Yard signed us up for the Christmas Eve gala event which was fantastic. The buffet was the biggest we had seen by far, with delicious food of all types and so well presented. The evening’s entertainment was very enjoyable and ended with a huge fire show on the beach. The entire staff always went above and beyond with their professionalism and kindness and we look forward to revisiting in the future.

Lovely resort, on the beach front. Reception the staff were very friendly and we were given cloths to wash with and a soft drink when we arrived. Our room was extremely high, and we needed to be taken up in the golf buggies or Little cars each time we wanted to go to our room that would be my only reservation when booking this resort again, I would definitely ask for a room closer to the pool and beach. Lovely pool great for early morning swims The breakfast was very nice, lots of variety and the hot food was hot, not many seats to eat outside at breakfast which was disappointing. One thing that did happen while eating breakfast was three monkeys stole food off of an empty table next to us. Staff came immediately to shoot them away, however this was not an easy task. The staff did thoroughly disinfect the table and also prevent people eating outside for the rest of the morning. The beach had ample sunbeds on it. You could order drink drinks at the bar and they would bring them to the beach for you. We enjoyed staying at this five star resort however staying at the much smaller less expensive places felt more traditional in Thailand. We did eat in the restaurant one evening excellent evening meal but was the most expensive meal we had during our whole day in Thailand.

I’m only on my second day here but I love this place so much that I’m already ready to confidently my review. Our stay thus far has been absolutely heavenly. The grounds are impeccable, the staff are welcoming and kind, the facilities and activities are fabulous (morning yoga, midday water aerobics, evening movie). The beach is lovely, our room is lovely and spacious, it’s an easy walk into the village to check out restaurants and shops. It’s perfect!!

Beautiful hotel with spacious and clean accomodation but extremely noisy. Great buffet breakfast with too many preschool children turned loose playing constantly in the displays. This place is family oriented and not designed for couples seeking a quiet vacation.

This is a well appointed and comfortable hotel with stunning grounds and immediate access to a beach. In addition, there are a number of pools including small ones in close proximity to most rooms across the site. The majority of staff is charming but some of the supervisory more officious. What is not highlighted is that many rooms are built on the side of a very steep cliff and accessed via hairpin paths designed to cope with the (1:5 gradient ?) or as we counted in excess of 200 steps of irregular height. On my last evening I had a bad fall on unsecured, loose electrical cables which in a different jurisdiction would have led to an injury claim!

The hotel was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would like to say a big shout to Mee the pool man who was absolutely fantastic. Took all our names and remembered them throughout our stay along with our room numbers. An absolute treasure he was. Also our lovely cleaner whose name I do not know - stayed in room 727 who left lovely towel decorations on the bed. Also the lovely staff on the beach who served drinks, staff in the restaurant for breakfast, the drivers who took you to the room. Thank you for making our stay pleasurable.

We stayed at Rawi Warin in December and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The resort itself is beautiful, the food was consistently excellent, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming throughout our stay. What truly made the trip exceptional, though, was Azeem, our dedicated concierge. He went above and beyond every day to make sure everything was perfect. From helping us plan activities to making thoughtful recommendations and checking in on us throughout our stay, his attention to detail and genuine hospitality stood out. Quite honestly, he provided the best concierge service I’ve ever experienced at any resort. One of the highlights he helped arrange was our boat trip to Koh Rok, which was absolutely fantastic. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Beautiful resort, great food, and outstanding service all around, but Azeem truly made our stay unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back.

Thanks to Rawi Warin for the amazing days we spent in Koh Lanta. I'd like to specifically thank Azeem who took care of our entire family during the 4 days. Everything was outstanding, the suite, the beach, the food and the service. We will certainly come back soon. Un grand merci !

We’ve had a wonderful stay at Rawi Warin Resort & Spa in Koh Lanta. The setting is beautiful, the grounds and lake are fantastic, and everything is kept immaculate. What really makes this resort special is the staff. Every single member of staff are so welcoming, smiley and genuinely kind and creates such a warm atmosphere. A special mention to Mee, the pool man, who keeps everything spotless and always greets you with a big smile (and remembers your name!) And to Mauy in the restaurant, who made our stay extra special, even giving me a few Thai lessons! Such a lovely touch. As a couple, you may want to avoid school holidays as it was busy around the pool, so we spent most of our time relaxing on the beautiful beach, the staff are constantly up & down to take you food and drink orders! We would happily return and highly recommend this resort.

Wonderful place and attention to customer service. Mr Mee poolman was just a gem. What a lovely man who remembered our names everyday and made our trip all the much better. Hope you’re well Mr Mee!

Its our last night at the Rawi Warin , Koh Lanta and what an incredible stay we have had. The hotel is stunning, excellent facilities, beautiful beach and delicious food. Above all though, are the incredible staff. Everyone of them welcomes you with warmth and a smile. Without fail, every day you are made to feel welcome and special. Our, housekeeping team kept our room immaculate and made us chuckle with a new towel animal every day. The amazing Mr Mee, at the stream pool bar makes sure you want for nothing and remembers everyone's name!!! He made our holiday so special. Thank you , Mr Mee!!

Immaculate hotel and top class service. Lovely beach and gardens which are well maintained. So much voice on the breakfast buffet also. Every staff member welcomed you with a smile. Support local families by eating out as there are lots of restaurant’s within walking distance if turning left or right out of the hotel or grab a tuk tuk right outside cheap. Along with the out of hotel dining options

Me at radiating resort and Spa has provided myself and my family with impeccable service from the second we arrived! Such a positive atmosphere at this hotel with friendly staff and incredible service! Couldn’t recommend enough for anyone who is thinking of booking, 10/10 experience all round :))

Mr. Mee the pool man was lovely made our experience fantastic couldn’t of asked for better service the food and drinks are amazing couldn’t of found a better place to stay big thank you to all the team here especially mr.mee the pool man he definitely deserves a pay rise

Stayed at Rawi WarinResort for 4 nights during our travels around Thailand. This was the best so far. A lovely hotel for families and couples. Lots of children here. Sunbeds were always available whether it's pool or beach. Rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast has a fantastic choice. Mr Mee at the poolside bar is a welcoming happy face. All the staff at Rawi Warin were lovely but Mr Mee would brighten up anyone's day. Knew everyone by name and made you feel you were the only one he was serving. A great asset to the team. Our room was 759 and was very high up. Even though there are carts to run you back and forth, I think asking for a lower room would be a great tip.

We had an amazing stay at the resort and the staff could not be any more helpful especially Mr Mee and staff at the pool bar who always went the extra mile to look after us 😁 Many thanks Chris and Shelly xx

This is a beautiful Hotel, with landscaped gardens, peaceful setting, pools and own beach. Food/accommodation lovely. The staff are smiley and very helpful. There is lots to do in the day, relax by sea/pool, enjoy the lovely food, work off some energy at the gym, table tennis, pool. Other beaches just 20 minutes away, if you want a change.

After being traveling Thailand for 15 days our last accommodation was here on Ko Lanta. And did we enjoy it here!! We arrived on December 31 and joined the New Years diner. This was spectacular with delicious food, dance and music and fire and fireworks on the beach. Our special thanks to all the employers of the Rawi Warin resort, they are all so kind en professional and especially to the amazing pool manager Mr. Mee. What a kind and lovely man he is. Thanks for a lovely time on Ko Lanta. Wilco and Stella The Netherlands.

Our family met up here for 11 days having traveled from UK and Australia to celebrate the new year. The hotel and staff were fabulous. The hotel is stunning but is made 5 star by the staff. A stand out for us was Mr Mee who managed the pool bar , what a great guy goes above and beyond remembering your name greeting you each day. Nothing was too much trouble, would have no qualms recommending this hotel.

This hotel is far from five-star standards. The rooms are in desperate need of renovation. The staff were very unprofessional. During breakfast, our table was cleared while we were briefly away at the buffet. At the pool, staff took our towels while we were still swimming and lost our hotel room key that was inside them. Instead of getting us a replacement, they told us to go to reception ourselves—while we were standing there with a wet, shivering child. Despite traveling with a small child, we were placed in a room that required climbing numerous stairs, with no consideration for accessibility. The shower had no water pressure. On three occasions we had to call a technician because there was no water at all, leaving our child standing there with shampoo in his hair. When I asked to speak to the manager, her response was that the staff “didn’t do any of this on purpose,” and to use drinking water to wash his head. Reception staff also struggled to understand or speak English when we raised these issues. Overall, a very disappointing and stressful experience that does not justify a five-star rating at all.

Me and my family had a fantastic week at this beautiful resort. The location is second to none, we had a beautiful view, and all the facilities were perfectly maintained, making it an ideal place to relax. We also celebrated Christmas at the resort and had the best buffet dinner ever with probably more than 100 different delicious dishes. Also, the breakfast at the resort was exceptional, the best we ever had at a hotel. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional service from the entire staff and especially from Azeem. He's a super nice guy and great at his job- he was very attentive, ensuring everything was taken care of effortlessly. The personalized attention truly made our holiday extra special. We highly recommend Rawi Warin and would love to return. Warm greetings to the amazing staff at Rawi Warin!

An excellent hotel with very attentive staff, very relaxing, large pools and direct access to the beach. Rooms can be quite high but very accessible and prompt shuttle service. many thanks to Mr Mee and the staff well done for all your efforts and the excellent Christmas party!!!

It was an amazing! Everything was such a good experience! The service was amazing, and the breakfast was a dream come true! Azeem was fantastic, positive, helpful, and made me and my family! Feel amazing and so welcome in every way!

We went to Koh Lanta for part of our honeymoon and stayed at Rawi Warin. This week was one of our highlights of the trip. Our pool sunset villa was not only large but had an amazing view from the infinity pool. While the room was great, what made the experience perfect was the staff, specifically Mr. Mee, the pool man. We made a personal connection with him, not only did he learn our story and took genuine interest in our trip, but every time we sat for dinner or drinks he made sure we had the best service. Rawi Warin is worth it if Mr. Mee is there.

We had a lovely week at the beautifully laid out resort of Rawi Warin. From the breakfast buffet to dinner and special barbecues - everything was splendid quality, served with dedication and attention to detail and with a smile to top the experience. A special thanks to management and staff for making us feel so welcome. And a shout-out to Mr Mee at the beach bar, Mr Rut at the breakfast buffet, Mrs Yaya and Mrs Benz at the spa (sorry for not remembering or noting down all the other lovely staff). And please keep the hilltop pool such a peaceful and quiet spot!

We recently visited the Rawi Warin for 10 days and it was pure bliss! From the moment we arrived, until the moment we left we were treated like royalty by the staff, especially Mr Mee who greeted us on our first night and went to the effort of learning all our names and room numbers. He made sure our stay was perfect, going the extra mile to secure us the best table at the bbq and buffets each time we attended. He works incredibly hard and honestly our stay wouldn’t have been the same without him! All the food at the hotel was fantastic, the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable and had everything we could need. We are already planning our next trip back to the Rawi Warin and can’t wait to see Mr Mee again!

We had a wonderful time at Rawi Warin. Rooms were spotless, the food was top notch and the staff (especially the delightful Mr Mee), made the whole trip. Thank you everyone, for a wonderful trip.

Had an excellent stay with my family and relatives. Very friendly staff, always greeting, helpful and asking about our stay. Hotel rooms very clean and nice view. Celebrated my husbands 50th birthday and they did this incredible thing where they decorated our bed upon arrival, a complimentary cake at breakfast and at dinner. Delicious food at the hotel and beach restaurant, especially the thai food and chicken nuggets. At departure I forgot some expensive jewellery and they gave me a notice that they had found it and were able to assist me in sending it back in a safe manner.

Myself and my daughter (22 years old) have just spend 6 wonderful days at the top class hotel. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the facilities were excellent - the gym, pool, bars, breakfast. Our room was beautiful and had a stunning view of the resort and beach (room 523). It is a walk uphill to and from it, but there was always a free car and driver available to take us and pick us up. Thank You for a truly memorable stay. Miranda and Mimi Pilkington 26/11/25

Second time in Rawi warin, wonderful times as expected. Breakfast is great quality and big variety. Wonderful chef Chai made sure everything runs smoothly. Customer service is 10/10 Pool area is gorgeous and there is beach right by. Definitely will come again Shout-out to the staff for exceeding our expectations (Mee, Sak, Rut)

My partner and I LOVE Rawi Warin! Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the spa itself is world-class. Benz is incredibly welcoming, professional, and kind – my partner and I felt we were always in good hands! We ended up getting a half dozen treatments because the quality was excellent. Pearl and Yaya are amazing - thank you all so much!!

Entering the hotel feels like going into a peaceful oasis. Me and my two daughters were treated royally at Rawi Wari. Thanks to all the amazingly nice staff, especially Mr. Mee and his colleagues, who made us feel cared for from day one. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories — and would love to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, kindness, and a touch of luxury.

We spent a little over a week at this resort and I can honestly say it was a great experience. The staff were kind and professional. I am not able to eat gluten and the hotel really catered to my needs. Gluten free bread was available and they solved everything I asked for. Mr Mee Poolman made sure a separate fryer was used for fries to assure I could eat them and they were really kind in their service, making sure to listen and repeat. I felt safe eating their food. The pools were nice and the roomservice incredible with fun towel animals each day.

My family and I had an absolutely amazing experience at Rawin Warin. An incredibly beautiful hotel with exceptional service and friendly staff. A special thank you to Mr. Mee down at the pool bar! A true paradise that we would be more than happy to return to. It’s perfect for both families with children and couples. They are great at creating environments for all needs without the groups disturbing each other. A truly dreamlike vacation!

We spent a week at Rawiwarin resort and Spa with my wife and ou kids 7 & 8. We are strongly recommending the place. The service was great and a lot of activities were available for adults and kids : kids club, thai boxing, cooking, massage adults and kids, yoga classes,… Thai boxing courses were very enjoyable - ask for Fad or Zee they are both great for adults or kids. We had a pool villa on the cliff with a direct view on beach and see with our own swimming pool and privacy. It was a real Plus!!! In addition, everytime we went to the main bar at the swimming pool we were warmly welcomed and taking care of by the amazing Mister Mee and his team. Thank you so much Mee 🙌 In short, perfect place to relax and have fun for a family ☀️

The property is beautiful and the staff were were very friendly. We had a great suite with two infinity pools and spacious bedrooms that were able to accommodates our family.

was great hotel, high quality material used and modern. great breakfast and pool. next to beach for shell search. villas are very nice and silent with great views. top location and pool is wonderful and large.

We stayed at Rawi Warin at the start of our summer holiday and it was everything we could’ve hoped for — calm, beautiful, and welcoming. The property is vast and incredibly lush, with tropical gardens, lotus ponds, and peaceful pathways you can explore on foot or by the bicycles provided (which we loved using!). Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable — ideal for a family stay. The Kids Club was a big hit with our children; they played games, read books, and our youngest even got to do a painting activity with the warm and supportive staff. Breakfast was a real highlight each morning — a massive spread with everything from fresh bakes and fruits to Thai dishes and Western options. You could tell care went into the quality and variety. We spent most of our days at the pool and beach. The poolside bar team was always friendly and attentive, and the beach was just a few steps away. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool slide — they were on it nonstop! Dinner at the resort was another level- we were pampered with multiple flavourful dishes, and the water chestnut dessert was hands down the best we've had in Thailand. What really stood out was the genuine hospitality. Every member of the team was kind, helpful, and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend Rawi Warin for a peaceful getaway, romantic trip, family vacation, or even a small private wedding. The surroundings are picture-perfect for portraits and special memories. Truly grateful to the team for making this the perfect beginning to our summer. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

I think it deserves 4*. Th resort is lovely and the gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We had a pond view room, which also had a sea view. The room was lovely and clean. The bathroom needed a bit of TLC, bath was a bit stained and shower had some limescale. The pool was great but sunbeds need upgrading as wheels falling off etc. The service around the pool is non existent. We stayed for a week and only had someone ask us if we wanted a drink a couple of times. Breakfast lets the property down, it’s very busy and lacks food such as nuts and healthy cereal. The staff are trying, but no one offers you coffee, you have to ask and then often the wrong coffee is given.

There is only one word to describe this place…paradise! We had one of our best family holidays here. Everything is thought of and the staff are amazing. Special mention to Mee at the Pool Bar and Thong who picked us up from the airport. Thank you!

We went on a round trip through Thailand, and out of all five hotels we stayed at, this one was by far the best. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was simply perfect. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and the food in general is delicious and of high quality. The rooms are very clean, modern, and offer a stunning view of the ocean. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. The location is an absolute dream: a beautiful, peaceful beach right at your doorstep, perfect for snorkeling and relaxing. The pool and the entire hotel grounds are also kept at a very high standard. One special highlight is the staff – professional, friendly, and always attentive. A huge shoutout to the waiter Mee, who really stood out with his exceptional service. We even got to experience something truly magical: I received a marriage proposal, and the hotel organized a private dinner on the beach just for us. It was breathtakingly beautiful and will stay in my heart forever. Another unique and fun aspect of staying here – we had visits from monkeys right at the hotel, and even spotted monitor lizards by the pond. It really added to the feeling of being in a tropical paradise. This hotel is a hidden gem – we will definitely be coming back!

The aircon is crazy loude. Impossoble to sleep. Monkeys attacks you. Long klimbing to rom. Useless and hard chairs at balconys. You can not spend 15 minutes there until your body hurts. The hotel did try to get us to pay for a bottle of wine that we had not used. Happily we had photo to proof that we did not touch it. We had to fill in charts about that when we left the room. Not a very nice hotel

This is a really lovely hotel on the amazing island of Koh Lanta which really stole our hearts. The hotel is in beautiful grounds and the rooms are spacious with lovely bathrooms and a great shower which for our pond view room meant we had a view of the sea and we were close to the breakfast area, beach and pool. The beach is great with nice loungers and clean, clear water. The pool area was great too with a small slide for kids. The children enjoyed the ocean pool set up too and spent hours jumping off the end and playing in the warm water. The bedding was crisp and luxurious and we all slept well. I was particularly grateful that for four of us we had two double beds and a single bed meaning the children did not argue about having to share! Breakfast was a bit of a free for all with no real service to speak off but the food was varied and nice. As has been said before its a real shame the prices to eat and drink are so much more expensive in the hotel than elsewhere locally so I can't really comment on the quality. We enjoyed heading out to beach bars and restaurants 10 minutes walk down the beach and also had some lovely meals at Shanti Beach house and Coco Tango which both have lovely views and are only a very short taxi ride away. We also visited the night market at Sala Dan which was a fun experience both for eating and shopping. We hired a bike with a side car from the car hire place opposite the hotel and also utilised their laundry services. We truly loved Koh Lanta and it was great to explore, eat, shop, sunbathe and get massages. We hope to be back one day! Prices varied a lot for this hotel on different sites however we feel by coming early we got the best price via Travel republic and the hotel could not better it by booking direct.

When we first arrived we were given beautiful garlands for our wrists, a cold flannel and a cup of some Thai tea. It was a lovely touch. Our first room was 3 flights of stairs up. I can’t keep climbing these stairs but they changed our room very quickly. They don’t like you to open your balcony doors cause of the monkeys that are around resort. The beach is a few yards away and has sunbeds , parasol and towels available. Drinks and food are also available from the pool bar. Excellent. We had an excellent evening of bbq , music and fire show (extra cost of course) but it was well worth it. Staff are so friendly and the hotel is spotless. Would love to spend more time here but moving on .

Excellent hotel on a beautiful island. I spent my Birthday here and could not have been made more welcome. The rooms are lovely, although those with mobility issues will find it challenging. The grounds are lovely , the pool and beach area are excellent though getting a sun bed can be difficult. The breakfast is excellent though getting usually very busy. There are many restaurants in easy reach and Klong Dhao beach is a must.

The grounds, reception and restaurants areas are very clean and pleasing to look at. The staff are wonderful, especially housekeeping and waiting staff. As for being a 5* hotel, perhaps it is if you book one of the better rooms. We stayed in a Deluxe room, which you would expect to be good in a 5* resort, sadly not! very average. Bathroom was tired, bedroom basic; also up 3 flights of steps which we were not warned about. We were also locked out of our room on 3 occasions, which when you have walked up 3 flights is not ideal. We had to find a member of staff to come to our aid each time, resulting in the door lock being changed. The Breakfast experience was not always pleasant; however, this was more down to large numbers of guests and not being able to walk easily through to the buffet. Although there was a good selection of food option and of good quality. On reflection this is a family resort, suited best to families not older couples like ourselves. We also did not like the ransom on the beach towels being given a card, valued at 800 t baht, again this is probably a reflection on the clientele not being trusted to return them each day. Ending on a positive, there was a beautiful sunset each day which is very enjoyable with a happy hour cocktail from the pool bar. Overall not a 5* experience for us.

We stayed in one of the beachfront villas at Rawi Warin and it was fabulous. The villa itself was clean, well-appointed and beautiful, with a spectacular view of sunset, and the ocean just steps from our yard. The resort staff were all friendly, helpful and responsive -- they assisted us with taxis and scooter rental. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had -- it was fresh, abundant, delicious and included just about anything you might want to eat, while the coffees/teas were the best I had while traveling in Thailand. This is not an economic hotel/resort, but if you have the budget for Rawi Warin and are looking for something more upscale than most, I highly recommend it. We also enjoyed the monitor lizards occasionally roaming the grounds. The beach at Rawi Warren is lovely at high tide, but there are quite a lot of rocks at low-tide that make swimming more difficult during that period. The beach at Rawi Warin is separated from the rest of Klong Nin by rocks and a creek, so you have to go around by footpath or road to access the livelier parts if Klong Nin, but it's close enough/walkable. Our only complaint is that the villa pool was so pleasant we spent more time lounging there and less time exploring than we planned.

Absolutely fabulous! Lovely hotel, beautiful setting, on the beach. Very well organised, lovely food and great freindly service, all the staff are lovely and very helpful. A special shout out to Mr Mee on the pool bar you made our stay very special. We'll be back

This is a lovely beach front resort. If I had been traveling with children I would want to be closer to the main pool/beach area. As it was I was on a tour and was in one of the hillside buildings (800) which turned out ok because of the hillside pool (no drink service up there though). They do have carts that will shuttle you up and down the hill as needed. My room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety and the food was very good. If you're unable to get an appointment at the spa there is a beach side massage hut as well as a small restaurant about 100 yards down the beach from the resort. It seems a very family oriented property.

Amazing stay for our first long haul family holiday. Rawi Warin was brilliant - the room was stunning and very comfortable and the facilities throughout the hotel are all brilliant - amazing breakfast buffet, 2 great pools in the main area, pool bar and restaurant was superb. The staff throughout the resort were amazing and our 2 year old loved it. We would not hesitate to book again.

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.

Way to big and over price. Can not walk to beach. Must wait for car to go anywhere. Not convenient. Its not real thailand

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.

Nice place to stay,wonderful !

Great family resort! Our villa was amazing and had spectacular views! Be prepared to do a lot of uphill walking! My elderly parents used the shuttle/golf cart service each time as they were readily available to pick up and drop off all around the property. Staff were so helpful and friendly! Beware of the monkeys…my son and I lost one flip flop to the little thieves…

Great

Great breakfast. Hotel grounds are magnificient. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Great room. Good service. You forget how dirty the rest of the island is. Close to Shanti Shanti restaurant which is very good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation at the resort. The staff was extremely friendly throughout the property, the accommodations were wonderful as was the restaurant and we had a great experience at the spa as well.

The room was great! Location was nice! Ocean view, gorgeous sunsets, beautiful grounds well kept with fish ponds, flowers, grass & trees. We really enjoyed the infinity pool! The staff in all areas were nice the restaurants the pool & the cleaning staff they were all exceptional!

Everything about this property was wonderful! We hope to return soon

Lovely place to relax and enjoy

Brilliant service and beautiful setting. Great selection of activities on site and staff couldn’t have been more attentive. We loved our time there.

This is the kikd of hotel you never want to leave! Absolutely stunning and the staff were lovely!

We had an amazing stay at Rawi Warin. Beautiful resort, the friendliest staff ever!! Mr. Mee at the pool bar was awesome. We miss him already, always smiling and he makes great cocktails. Everyone that helped us during breakfast and dinner was wonderful. Our room was excellent , spacious and the outdoor shower was the best! The pool is beautiful. Beach in front of the hotel has a few rocks so you have to be careful.

Amazing property!! Beautiful, clean, great views and friendly and welcoming staff! Would come here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting 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.

We had beach pool villa and it was amazing. Great little bungalow w own Pool, yard and beach access. Pool grill had good food and room service Mee was great guy.The hotel limited our drinking water was only downside but not a huge problem just odd.the property was stunning with access to great long walking beach

This has to be one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Great location right on the beach. Pool fantastic. The staff were amazing, couldn't do enough to help. Loads of choice for breakfast which you could get delivered to your room if you wanted to. Celebrated my birthday during our stay and all of the staff made it extra special. We've booked to go back again for Christmas and I'm sure we'll be back there many times.

Best hotel stay I have ever had. Everything from assisting booking excisions and cross country transportation, to packing us a lunch for our 6 am checkout with 7-8 options inside. Worth every penny.

A truly lovely hotel with beautiful grounds, hotel was spotless, the staff and service provided was excellent. The food and beverage served was of a very high standard. Lots of amenities if thats what you are looking for, the rear of the hotel is right next to the beach. After spending 4 days / night in Bangkok and a week in Ao Nang with 6 of the family this hotel was just the right place to wind down and just relax. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel.

Beautiful property with an amazing group of staff!

Perfect in every way. No wonder this hotel have such high review score

This is definitley the best hotel we visited in Thailand. We came here for 3 nights and didn't want to leave! Everything was perfect - the room is beautiful, huge, well equipped with everything you need. An amazing view, the bathroom has a shower and a bath! The pools are amazing and the private beach of the hotel as well. The service is wonderfull - all the staff memebers are kind and friendly. We booked a private day tour to the 4 islands through the hotel and it was amazing! Puang, The employee that arrange it for us did everything to make sure it will be perfect, including a special vegatarian meal for us. We simply enjoyed everything here, including the vip shuttel to the Airport.

Loved this resort - extremely friendly and helpful staff. Clean property and great in-room provisions especially the complimentary ones

Loved it but quite pricey over Christmas Loved our room with private pool but villa is lovely too

This hotel is incredible . The staff are so friendly and helpful . They will do anything to make your day a memorable and happy one . We will defiantly be returning next December with great excitement at a holiday that dreams are made of . Thank u to this incredible hotel !

If you going on to somewhere else after don’t Leave this till last best place we stayed in Thailand Beautiful resort well worth staying here

Beautiful location. Great rooms. Outstanding staff. A home from home

We loved our 5 night stay at the Rawi Warin. It is a beautiful hotel and the staff were so friendly welcoming. Would highly recommend and just wish we were back there right now!

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. This resort was so nice, we actually didn't even leave it and didn't see the island or try any restaurants. Our most relaxing time of our long vacation. LOVED it!!

We stayed here for our anniversary , the staff were all so wonderful , beautiful resort would certainly go back again . Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful Gardens and surroundings absolutely beautiful. Thank you

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Great breakfast and happy hour to enjoy the sunset.

Very nice setting amongst trees. Great response from staff. Couldn't be more helpful, particularly reception. Food and drink was a little expensive. Other options outside hotel.

The resort is wonderful, they upgraded our room because of the slow season, and the view is beautiful. Breakfast selection are great too, a lot of items to choose. And I tried the SPA and it's amazing too, best SPA in Thailand so far!

Amazing. The moment my partner and I arrived we were in awe of the place, there are so many activities to do around the area and within the property. We were also given an upgrade withoyt asking

This resort was amazing!! The staff was so catering and eager to help! Truly a luxurious place to stay and enjoy the beach! The only thing was there was a lot of trash washing in from the ocean and no one made efforts to clean it up.

Service was excellent. Only issue is that the villas are up on hills but you can get shuttles from front desk.

This was our first trip to Koh Lanta and the Rawi was a beautiful experience. When we arrived we were greeted with welcome drinks, cool towels, a tour of the resort and taken to our room. We asked if we could pay for an upgrade and they moved us to an ocean view room free of charge. 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. The staff are friendly, respectful and tend to your every need. I highly recommend staying here if you visit Koh Lanta.

We really enjoyed the Staff reactivity, their kidness and their politeness

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.

We just kept on extending our stay

Loved every minute. This place met our needs and mostly exceeded our expectations
