Zeavola Resort

We visited Zeavola after 1 week stay in Koh Lanta. Im going to be honest in our review this place was not for us. But, that does not mean it isnt great! For the cost, I would agree with many reviews..its very minimal. We upgraded to ocean front villa after our initial room was not private and a view of public restroom. We found none of the villas very private. I would never choose one with the bathroom outside. This place is cool & different but for the cost $1500 for 4 nights is crazy! The beach is public with a Holiday Inn a few doors down.. I will say the staff were great even with recent cuts due to the virus. If your looking for a rustic Thai experience you might find it here but we were hot at night, eaten by mosquitos and made our coffee outside in jammies with the neighbors in the next villa. The beach is beautiful and we had no problems swimming alone or being under a shade tree but there were 6 guests total this week! We do wish zeavola the best and dont mean any harm as we left 2 days early and rushed home due to flight changes.. they did refund us our 2 nights! Thats wonder business practice 💛 Read less

We spent a week at Zeavola for our wedding in March ‘20. The villa and setting was magnificent - a boutique ‘hut’ (still inc. WiFi, TV, minibar etc...) in a well managed jungle environment fronting directly onto a clean and quiet beach with crystal clear water. The garden suites had private outdoor showers too which were pretty special. The island itself is very remote so is a fantastic place to completely unwind. There is enough amenity to get by and Zeavola’s restaurant/bar were good quality with nice offerings. We had a very easy going week aside from the wedding and spent plenty of time sunbathing and swimming. We also tried some of the activities Zeavola offered - cooking class, island tour, snorkelling, kayaking, spa etc. - and enjoyed them all. The reception staff were also very helpful in organising transportation to Krabi for a day trip via a nearby hotel. I spent a few minutes reading through a few of the other reviews on here. In essence, expect a secluded and paradise-like setting on a remote island and a place to thoroughly relax. Also, expect to be bitten, we certainly were, although the staff were helpful in providing extra repellent when needed. If you are wanting vibrant night life, shopping or an abundance of tours and excursions, spend some time in Krabi or Phuket. The resort and island isn’t as cheap as elsewhere in Thailand but it isn’t ridiculously expensive and the remoteness pretty much justifies the costs. On top of everything, all the staff deserve a special mention. Everyone was extremely welcoming, helpful and polite throughout our stay and we couldn’t be more complimentary about them (we wish we’d have put more effort into remembering more names). They collectively made our holiday extra-special and for that we will certainly return in the future. P.S. if you’re thinking of getting married here, do it! A magnificent place, community and photograph opportunity. Read less

Stayed in one of the suits up the mountain a bit. Zeavola is nice beach hotel with minimal services. The rooms are nice, but nothing amazing. Overall the rating would be much better but the value is horrific. After staying at so many amazing hotels in Thailand many that were much nicer than Zeavola and a tiny fraction of the cost (we got a terrace suite at the Peninsula in Bangkok for less). Its also difficult and expensive to even get to the hotel. Restaurant choices are highly limited. We really wish we had spent more time at our hotel in Krabi rather than going to Zeavola. Read less

Paradise. Amazing welcome, beautiful white beach. We stayed in a garden suite which was spacious, secluded and had all the amenities required for a comfortable stay! Special mention to Yu at Check in & Jeffrey at breakfast (who has just served us our last drinks before we depart!) who provided us with tips on our next location! Would certainly stay here again! Thank you all at Zealova! Read less
