very good service, good location, bright hotel”

We really enjoyed our stay at the Xanadu beach resort. It was very easy to get to the resort from Pattaya, and upon our request we were dropped directly at the pier. The room was nice and clean and very spacious, and it was funnily painted in at least 8 different colours. Some might find it crazy, but I just thought it personified the resort. The hotel staff was very friendly and forthcoming. We were able to order outside of the menu in the morning, and they did not charge us extra for this. What really showed how much they value their customers was when I forgot my jumper at the hotel, and when I asked them to post it to my address in Bangkok they did so within a few days. I was so thankful for this, since it would have been such a hassle for me to go back to the island to get it. But when I go back, I will definitely stay at the Xanadu beach resort again!

Simple Lodging on the Beach”

Reserved a room at Xanadu Beach Resort on Koh Lan because it was right on Samsae beach, which is a lovely location. Reserved the room for day use only and used it like a cabana as it was such a low price. The room is a good size, not cramped at all. The furnishings are a bit sparse and simple, but the bed was comfortable.The front of the room is entirely made of glass, so you can let in as much sunlight as you want. For privacy, close the curtains which block out most of the light. Samsae beach is a lovely spot, very quiet and not very crowded at all the day we were there. Not near as much shopping and restaurants as other beaches, but not near the crowds, either. The hotel provides free lounges and umbrellas on the beach. Our stay there was pleasant. I would return.

Pensioner”

The visit to Koh Larn was really worthwhile. The Resort has at a clean private beach. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good and varied. Lunches and dinners can be enjoyed elsewhere on the island. The staff is helpful to give suggestions. Hotel courtesy is available for the transport from Tawaen Beach Pier and the Resort. The courtesy transport is also available between Harbour Island Home (Na Daan Pier) and the resort.

Great Location, service mind, great breakfast, private beach ”

I stayed 1 night here with my friend and will recommend this resort to anyone that would Koh Larn. I love the service of the staff there and the fact that it is located on the calm beautiful beach. Not far away from Thien Beach. The breakfast was more than what we expected as they serve little cakes too. Only con for this resort is the running/tap water smelled and tasted a bit funny. Not sure if it is also the same as the other resort. All in all , I would definitely go stay there again.

Great Location”

Every time I go to Koh Larn I stay at this resort. The location is great as it is right on the beach and it is a nice beach too. The rooms are quite big with all the amenities you need. The TV channels are quite good as there are some English international ones. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I always rent a motorbike so I can go into town to enjoy the restaurant and bars as the hotel is very secluded. Will stay there again.

Best place on the Island”

This is my 4th time staying at this resort. It is the most expensive resort on Koh Larn but still affordable, The rooms are big and clean and offers all you need. The hotel is right on Samae Beach so easy access and free chairs. The only negative during our stay was that the chef was on holiday so the menu was limited. I.e...no dough to make pizza. Otherwise our stay was a great one.

Very good”

The Xanadu hotel itself was great, we had a nice porch and a great view towards the beach and the little waterfall area they had. However, we did not really know too much about Koh Larn itself before we arrived. It seemed like the island was more of a day-trip destination for travelers rather than an overnight place. Most of the restaurants and beach bars on Samae beach closed around 5pm because that's when the last ferries left the island. We stayed 3 nights in Xanadu and actually stayed one of those nights in Pattaya. It was fun to rent a scooter and ride around the island, but there wasn't that much to do at night, and we didn't feel that comfortable riding around at night because of safety and because there were very little other tourists around. Otherwise, we still had a great time I think it just depends on what you're looking for.

Good beach & Units”

Rooms are all in quite good condition. Towels ok, water - saulty but warm, bed - ok, AC- ok. The good thing is location, Samae beach is relatively chinese-free. Hotel has its' own parted beach access which is cleaner than the rest part of the beach. This is the one single motivator for me to stay there. The water is good, sand is good. If you are up to to eat some bbqs - buy it cooked from the market by the temple (city center) and bring it in; cuz there is 1500 THB rental charge for BBQ stove from the hotel, which is totally insane. There are kind of nice common area of the hotel , good for a few pictures. The restaurant is average and affordable. Generally, the rest food parlors on Samae beach serve mainly tour groups of foreigners, perhaps this is why the food is awful there. All in all, this is relatively one of the best places at Koh Larn. A bit arrogant staff brings my rating down in Service and consequently Value For Money sections.

Good room on the beach”

There aren't many resorts on the beach on Koh larn and I would say that Xanadu is the best there. They provide free transfer to and from the pier upon check in and check out. We stayed in a deluxe room in row A building which is close to the lobby next to the beach. The room was equipped up to the standard of good hotel room. Nice cosy bed. Clean room. Nice toilet & shower room but the wash hose of the toilet was leaking. During the peak season, the rate is quite expensive but during low season, it's value for money.

great care ”

The hotel was nice and right on a beach. The manager Pom went above and beyond his duties and made sure my stay was great. He got me a boat ride after the rides were shut down for the night. He was very patient and hard working for his guests. Pom truly made my time in Koh Larn great, and I thank him for his efforts.

Excellent”

I would highly recommend renting a motorbike whilst staying on Koh Larn as many point of interests are spread throughout the island. Buy bottled mineral water to drink or refill your kettle as the tap water is so bad. Xanadu's private beach was our preferred diving spot as others were a far distance away and its at your doorstep. For night time entertainment there were amazing fire dances which left us in awe.

Always Good”

Xanadu beach resort is always exceptional in all ways. And what you not happy about they will fix in no time. Staff and Management hands on and extremely friendly. Accom and location is excellent. This was my 3rd trip in 12 months and i will be back in 5 months. Kerp it up guys..best on the Island.

Good accommodations, great staff, location and food”

The staff were very helpful and worked with us to fix things when we showed up for our weekend getaway- a week early. The rooms were smaller but clean and convenient to the office and the beach. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly the best we found on koh larn! Would definitely stay again, maybe next year.

Hotel practically next to the beach”

Got good deal on agoda. Hotel was clean and modestly decorated. However it's located right next to the (Samae) beach, which is rare in Koh Larn. Hotel also offers free beach chairs and free WiFi. Food was reasonably tasty and reasonably priced. Overall a nice place. Would definitely come back.

Peaceful beach -good place to get away for a night”

I went to Xanada Beach Resort in June 2014 with my friend for a day get-away. It was the first time to Koh Lan and everything was as planned from the pick up to check in. We were not able to check in as it was before 1 pm so we went to sit down by the beach and had lunch. Although the other side of the beach seemed pretty busy, it was pretty ok in front of the hotel. And by the time, tourists go back in the late afternoon, it turned out even better - quiet and relaxing place to get away. We did order hotel food and we loved the pizza, yummy! The room was not too far from the beach and it was clean and comfy enough with good air-con system. We had a long good nap and really boosted up our energy back. The only down point was the shower which was not powerful, pretty annoying actually - we were ok as it was just one night. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would go back if we need a short good break away from busy Bangkok

Great place ”

It is a very difficult location for owners of hotel to run a business. I stayed at few different places on Koh Larn, but this was my favourite. A little pricey, but I think it is worth it. If you want to see the best in Thailand, only few islands have blue clean water and fresh air.

Great location & service”

When we arrived in the afternoon, two rooms were ready for us. The hotel is very colorful and cute. The room has everything we needed. The hotel offers free shuttle service to the market in other part of the island. The beach in front of the hotel doesn't have a lot of people and it's quite clean. We ate at the hotel and the food was ok but karaoke was so much fun at night. We'd stay here again if we go back to Koh Lan.

Great location to get away from it all”

Xanadu is a great place to stay if you just want to hang out on the beach (Samae Beach), eat good food, and walk around a little. If you are looking for action, or a town environment, you will have to go into town (Nabaan Pier) which is about a 2 km drive (or walk up and over a hill). The bhat buses stop running around sunset, so if you don't catch one, your only option is a motorcycle taxi. The breakfast buffet was really delicious and well put together but still a bit over priced for island standards. The hotel is super clean and overall a fun place to stay!

Really happy :)”

Our family really happy with the one-night stay at the resort we wish we can stat more but we will be back and tell our friends for sure. Pros - The staff is the star they were really nice, friendly and polite also willing to help us family of 9 Without frustration - Room are all clean and complementary are like 4-star standard hotel - The food was really good and fresh also worth of the price Cons - bring more drinking water if you don't wanna pay for water ( but you have 2 free in-room ) - the beach just a little dirty not like a big of a deal but because of the wind sometimes.
