I had a wonderful stay at Anantara Layan Phuket, where the luxurious ambiance and attentive service truly made my experience special. The private beach access was a major highlight, and the room was spacious and clean, providing the perfect escape. However, dining options, while good, could use a bit more variety. The shuttle service was convenient but came with a fee, which was a slight disappointment.

The Anantara Layan is a stunning property with beautiful scenery and a luxurious feel. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the stay enjoyable. However, the dining prices can be quite high, and the location in a lagoon makes swimming in the sea difficult due to low water levels. Additionally, the clientele may not be welcoming to everyone, which could affect certain guests' comfort.
