In the middle of the jungle with a private beach, Loyfa is a great place to be! A lot of choice in different kind of rooms (by the beach, with private pool, etc.) and the restaurant is great! Breakfast is fine although we, as dutch people, started missing cheese and ham, but that's us. Overal very nice staff and good value for money.

Nice resort and aspecifieke the Innerwalk programma Made the difference. Resort itself has two really nice pools. The room for 4 is new and. Lean. Private rooms are also very good. Diner and kitchen is not impressive. (Poor) Please notice the place is under construction at the moment Beautufull place well maintained

That noodle dish was a motherfingering knockout. But then I am a little bit wrecked. Still, perfect. Hit the spot. Delicious. I could've eaten it six times. Plus, they let me stay in their beachside garden, writing on my laptop in the dark, long after they'd gone home. It was all lit up and otherworldly. I made believe it was my office. Extremely friendly. Made me want to stay there.

I stayed in Loyfa Natural Resort last month, it was a really nice experience, I didn't expect such a peaceful and beautiful place! The room was big, clean and with a breathtaking balcony view. The staff is really kind and helpful. You are surrounded by nature and you can walk to a beautiful private beach, there is also 2 saltwater pools. They are offering yoga classes and meditation with experienced teachers that made my holidays such a relaxing time! I highly recommend this place to disconnect, relax, being in nature, in a hidden hill on Koh Phangan Sri Tanu area.

if your into Yoga and want a corner of the island that is away from the madness then this resort is perfect for you! Great location as far as access to lots of vegan resturaunts and Yoga Salas but definately a great place to hang out!

We stayed for 3 days at Loyfa Natural Resort. We have experienced the hotel as very relaxing. Very quiet location but with some restaurants and a 7 Eleven just at 10 min walking. The resort is not very very luxurious, but for us it was just fine! Very good AC, quiet location, located at the beach and breakfast was all good. Also the staff was very friendly. We rent a scooter for 2 days at the hotel, so that was very convenient! just for 250 baht a day you can rent one. I would definately recommend this hotel for a very good stay!

Couldn't have asked for a better location. This side of Ko Pha Ngan is unspoiled and offers a more local feel. The food and variety was great and I would 100% go back. Rooms were comfortable and you have a choice of two amazing bars. Breakfast included was a bonus. Truly also enjoyed the yoga around the corner.

Best chef in restaurant, nice nature, cozy rooms. We spent 3 days in that resort, it was amazing. Staff very good, food in restaurant super delicious! Thanks for all. Recommend lasagna. Will come back again. Beautiful sunset. Nice beach and 2 big swimming pools.

Thanks to all the staff : the manager, the massage therapist, the cleaners, the waiters. The manager took great care of our family to make sure we were fine. They were always nice and welcoming. We felt at home. The place is gorgeous. We loved our room in front of the swimming pool and the swimming pool. It is a quiet and relaxing place. I miss it. We have been in Thailand 4 times and here is my favorite.I always go back to this hotel. There is a special atmosphere. It is well located ... 10 min from many good beaches ... and near the village to do some shopping and eat good food and practise yoga. Thank you ! Hope to go back soon to that place. Ingrid sebert

It was very good place for stay. We were there 4 nights. Good services for that price, smile staff, good breakfast, include beach towels and internet connection, everyday cleened rooms, you can rent motorbike in hotel what is it good (250 B) per day. We got full tank with no other fees ??. Hotel offer two swiming pools and masages

We were here for a wedding on the resort and there was about 100 of us (ie 40+ rooms big and small) Having looked at around 5 different rooms types, I would say that Loyfa has something for everyone! We stayed in P4, a villa and my kids and I definitely enjoyed the private pool and the walk to our villas! Just a note about check in which can take a while but you are taken care of with cold towel and welcome drink, so all good! Highly recommended!

I love this place! I booked a superior cottage here, the room was nice, spacious and clean, with a lovely terrace! The hotel have 2 beautiful pools overlooking the ocean and mountain, lovely! And they have a small private beach too! Breakfast have a good selection for vegetarian, staff are nice! It’s great for solo traveler like me, also great for couple and family!

Wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. While there were some hiccups about getting us into the right room and getting the hot water to work, Loyfa was exactly what we needed. Multiple pools, quiet, beachfront, and we nearly had the place to ourselves a lot of the time. The cottage we rented gave us the full experience we were looking for of having our own place right next to the water. The staff are also helpful. Recommended.

Very friendly staff, beautiful bungalow and a beautiful place.Lots of care for cleaning and interior of rooms.Iff there was more consciousness for environment (Use of plastic straws and plastic cups for drinks) I would definitely rate excellent.
Paul M
Stayed for 5 nights in one of the beachside cottages. No complaints at all, nice and comfy room, good view of the beach. The food is fine, not amazing but reasonably priced for an island resort. Staff were friendly and helpful.

This was the second time we stayed there and we loved it just as much. The pool villas are amazing. Comfy beds and AC works perfectly. Orion yoga is down the street 5min. Srithanu has a language school, cooking school, Zen beach for chillax at sunset. It's a perfect point to explore more of the island.
Nina Laamanen
Stayed at Loyfa for 8 nights and could not ask for anything more. Amazing staff, great food and lovely enviroment with great private beach. We stayed in the suite with sea view. They do the best thai ice tea in the world! ??????

Beach is quiet if a bit rocky. The food was average and the drinks were a be a bit on the warm side. (time to get some new fridges) Good cheap meals to be had down the road. A great place to escape for a few days.

Set in a peaceful environment, surrounded by nature with a private beach. The massage center is facing the beach, what a view! My room was a beach front villa, and I spent most of the days watching the waves. Food at the restaurant and service was OK. Rent a scooter to go around because this place is far from the main city and secluded.

Came here for a week with 3 girlfriends; we got a great deal that included breakfast. Honestly, the breakfast was great, had lots of vegetarian and vegan options for me! The resort was quite as we came in low season which was amazing. Two beautiful pools basically to ourselves. We were able to do kayaking right on the beach for free and indulge in lovely spa packages. The Manager Charlie mad sure we were taken care of. The cooking class was a wonderful experience and a great value! oh and I forgot to mention, literally PERFECT locations. Will defiantly return !!

very nice location, great pool, Communication is sometimes hard since not most of the staff doesn't speak English very well. However, they are very friendly, which totally makes up for the languages issues. Some reviews critices the beach, yes, there might be even nicer beaches for swimming - but hey, it's a beach and not a pool, that's just how nature made it. Breakfast could be improved with some more fruit and different tea and coffee. Excellent room service and wonderful massage.

The Resort is very calm and good located. The room was very small, but the balcony was spacious, so we could be outside though it was raining. The beach was right in front of our room, best sundown ever seen. it is very natural, we had a bee nest in the ceiling lamp, but by turning off the lights it was ok ;) The massage was very good. I would stay there again and recommend it.

We stayed here for 3 nights in a Superior Cottage with garden view. It was very nice, great terrace, clean big room and very big bed, nice shower, free coffee/tea and water in the room. The location was very nice and the 2 pools were just great! We had our diner in the restaurant what was also nice, as wel as basic, but good breakfast. Next year I definitely will go back there!

Spent a lovely 3nights in this delightful largeish resort in west Ko PhanNgan. We opted for the garden room which was pretty basic but clean. At £32 a night good value really. Breakfast was only 50 each and was a good buffet choice. The pools were very good with a superb sunset view from one of them. The beach was Ok but difficult to get into the water due to extreme shallowness and rocks. Within easy walking distance of several excellent restaurants.

After 3 days in the jungle of Khao Sok, we've booked 6 nights in a beachfront cottage. We were positively surprised when we checked in our room: excellent view and a comfortable room with balcony. The resort is rather small but very charming, with it's own beach, swimming pool and sun beds. The staff feels like one family, with the big boss playing an active part in the daily life. Of course it's not a huge resort, so accept the little inconveniences, like their beach BBQ which is more hilarious than tasty. Stick to the local cuisine. And in the small village just 500 meters away you can find lot's of cheap but tasty restaurants. Loyfa is really a very good place to stay for a couple of nights.

We stayed for 3days in the family beach bungalow. Room was a bit old but clean! The beach was clean and pretty. The staff was friendly and helpfull the restaurant manager charly was a nice guy! The food was good the pool was clean we experienced real holiday on this resort. And if you are lucky you can have breakfast next to a big lizard at the tables near the pool ;)

What a beautiful hotel and grounds worth every penny! We stayed her for 3 nights whilst visiting the island for the full moon party! The staff are so friendly and can not do enough for you, they arranged transport for us throughout our stay and booked us in at their restaurant. The hotel offer a free pick up service from the pier too. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. We stayed in a sea view suit which was amazing with a duplex room with stunning views. Can not recommend this hotel enough if coming to the island.

This is not a 5 star hotel, but it is just amazing for what it is: a great value, stunning views, cosy, and well-looked after place, that you can call home for however long! All that it is missing for it to be 5 stars would be a phone in each room, better TV and wifi reception, and room service. Other than that, the rooms are stylish, clean and have stunning views (we recommend the L rooms overlooking the sea, we were blown away by our view). The staff is super helpful and really makes you feel well taken care of. The wifi was actually in good in much of the hotel and we in fact switched rooms half way through from the beachfront to the seaview - the beachfront room had great wifi and TV but had an obstructed view of the sea and was slightly small, compared to the seaview which was very large, had a beautiful view, but had poor TV and wifi. We assume that this will be fixed with time (just a matter of getting a better router near the L rooms). It would be nice to include a few vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu, too... While they were able to accomodate and make our breakfasts vegan, we were left with just lettuce, onions and tomatoes, and a few pieces of fruit, since the set breakfast is composed of mainly meat and eggs. Same goes for their set menu for lunch and dinner, they were able to make their pad thai vegan by removing the egg, but it would be nice to have a couple more options that were on the permanent menu! All in all, we will definitely be returning to this great resort!

We loved our stay at Loyfa! The staff is so kind and the surrounding is just scenic. We stayed in a beach cottage and the view was the best ever. The sea wasn't very suitable for swimming (in September) because of low water and sea urchins, but there are two beautiful pools. The staff can arrange all kinds op trips and also taxi service. The food in the restaurant is quite international oriented, not so much Thai flavored (even the Thai dishes). But if you ask for a Thai preparation of for instance your seafood, they will make the most delicious dishes.

I booked a room in the less desirable E-Building. Granted it's not in the best location, doesn't have a view, etc. but the room was absolutely fine, cleaned daily, with hot water and aircon (plus free water, tea and coffee). The resort layout is great with two pools or a small beach to choose from. There was a good atmosphere and the resort staff were very helpful and professional.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Loyfa Natural Resort in a standard room. The decor was nice but there were cracks around all the doors and windows making the air conditioning leak out which didn't allow the room to get as cold as we like it. The room was cleaned daily and 2 free bottles of water were provided daily as well. There was a cute wicker bag with beach towels to take to the pool and a laundry basket if you chose to get your laundry done by the resort. The location was good! Only 10 minutes from the pier and about a 5 minute walk to a corner store or restaurants to eat at if you chose not to eat at the resort restaurant. It was right on the beach ( very shallow water for a long distance) with 2 pools! Bar service was available at each pool. The customer service was great, we were greeted with drinks and cold towels for our face and the front desk staff was great at answering any questions we had! There is also a cheap shuttle available to and from the resort. The only thing to note is that the resort is at the top of a decently steep hill and the restaurant is at the bottom of some steep stairs so if you want to walk anywhere be sure you are not injured or have mobility issues. Otherwise we loved our stay and would recommend this resort for anyone looking for a place to stay in Koh Phangan!

At ten minutes of the Thong Sala pier.... a very beautiful and comfortable resort by the sea...with a private beach....very good restaurant and bbq on the beach...very good buffet breakfast....bar by the pool with happy hour cocktails (120 bht....3 €..!)...and suites sea view with a very correct pricing (ours..L9...around 85€ per night breakfast included). Ask L7 to L10 suites....with your balcony directly on the sea...! Rent directly your motor bike for 6€ per day...massage staff very kind and efficient. Highly recommended..!

We stayed there for 11 nights. Nice rooms, excellent views from the porch. Two pools, very nicely nice. A bit of too much chlorine in the water. Very pleasant and friendly staff. The breakfast is good. Overall we had a lot of fun and sure Y its a good value for money.

Very nice place to stay and Discovery the island. Mega friendly staff, good food, great accomodations (2 lovely pools, private beach, nice restaurant, great bar...) Not cheap, but still value for money! They can offer you all you are looking for, but they will charge you just a little more (but you won't have to shop around for it) ??
Elliot
Really nice little resort in a beautiful setting outside the main part of town. Great if u want to attend some of the yoga places (especially Orion), which are in this area. There are also lots of good veg and vegan restaurants nearby. Both of the 2 pools on site are lovely and the beach is right on the resort. The staff do a fantastic job .... especially Charlie who was super helpful! The massage place was also excellent. All in all this is a very comfortable and pretty choice on the island .... and excellent value for money.

We wanted to do the full moon party without the craziness the next day would bring, so we opted to stay a little further away from Haad Rin, I'm glad we did, Layla natural resort is an awesome place to stay we had a beach front bungalow, which admittedly was a little tired (hence the 4 stars) but definitely worth the money. Staff are friendly, they picked us up from the pier and also dropped us back off for a price of course!! we hired bikes and also ate at the restaurant food which was ok although there is much better places to eat on the island! All in all a really great place to stay would definitely recommend.
Tinkabelle
I was greeted by the lovely manager and shown some rooms to pick from, as it was low season I was lucky enough to get a lovely deluxe room with an ocean view. So relaxing and peaceful watching and listening to the ocean from my balcony. Awesome pools, and awesome restaurant, great food!. Awesome staff, all very friendly. Lovely grounds, kyaks to use and a lovely private beach to relax on. Very clean place also. They have mopeds for hire, which is great to get around. I wold recommend this place to everyone, I had a lovely 4 nights here, and will definately be back. Thanks Loyfa and your team for a pleasant stay :)

This hotel is like a little sanctuary in the island: they have 2 beautiful pools, one for the sunrise and the other for the sunset, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, service is great and breakfast is just enough. Restaurant prices are fair, and even though you'll be far away from the "big" city center (where the ferries arrive), there is a small villa walking distance from the hotel, so you're not completely isolated. Great vibe and beautiful grounds. Would definitely stay at Loyfa again!

My husband and friends stayed here for 2 nights during the full moon festival. The accommodation is fairly basic but has some great little touches and the staff were incredibly friendly and very relaxed. We had a beach bungalow which was equipped with a hairdryer, fresh fruit, beach towels, beach bag, umbrellas, mosquito net and a mini bar (the latter incurred a small but very reasonable charge). The beach was nice but a little rocky in places. This suited the natural theme of the resort. The resort has 2 pools. Both pools have a bar and the restaurant is located at one of the pools. There are signposts to point you in the right direction. We tried the beach BBQ on both nights, which was nice, and had some great cocktails! Food isn't served late into the evening though which is worth bearing in mind. The resort puts on taxis to the full moon festival. These leave at 9pm and 10pm though they did put an extra taxi on at 10:30pm for us. The taxi ride is an experience but all part of the fun! The full moon festival was amazing and is definitely a must. There are stalls selling novelty neon paint and accessories, food and beer throughout the night and the buckets are great value - a branded spirit and mixers was 400baht and a none branded bucket was 150baht. It's fair to say that we did not make the most of the resorts facilities due to our stay being short but we would definitely return and would love to explore the island.
