My cousin had stayed here with two little kids and recommended the place, turns out he was right. We enjoyed L Resort very much, we are a couple and the resort works fabulously. The location is the best in town, this is the only resort and hotel that is located in the middle of the strand strip amongts shops and restaurants, but still very secluded. You cross the airy hotel lobby and you are in a haven with a pool, palmtrees, outside jacuzzi and bungalows, or you step outside the hotel and across the street you have the beach. Other hotels are further from the main street. The breakfast is absolutely fabulous and the bungalow rooms are huge and well refurbished. You get an iPad for your stay to use the wifi or to order services. The price is almost nothing for a lovely place like this. They have excellent services, naturally you get the same services a bit cheaper from the street but still. Long tails boats to Raylay leave from across the street. We used the town gym everyday, it is 300baht/pp and is appx 1km or less from the L Resort. The best thing about this hotel is that we saw no tourists on tour operator tours, so no Finns or Swedes or other nationalities sith abundance. Our stay was during low season and the we had the pool for ourselves the whole time, no one else around. Service is very friendly and you get umbrellas for rainy days. Room has free drinking water, wifi, coffee, safety deposit box. We were very happy with this place and I would recommend it to everybody.
