1. So, why should I stay at Ancient Realm Resort & Spa !?
Ancient Realm Resort & Spa offers great value for money compared to many resorts of its kind, while still keeping
a great, relaxed, quality beach front resort atmosphere and experience. Whether you are looking simply for a room
to hold your items while you go off exploring or partying, or a place to unwind in bliss from the stress of everyday
life, our resort has a lot to offer all types of travellers and holiday makers. All rooms are customizable to meet
everyone's needs; extra beds are available for extra guests if needed, and packages are available.
2. Alright, so what extras do I have compared to other similar/higher priced resorts ??
Absolute Beach Front, Plunge Swimming Pool, Jacuzzis, Spa & Massage Therapy Centre, Dedicated Tour Office,
Free Wireless Internet for your Laptop, Free Resort Computer and Internet Use, In-Room Computers/Internet in
Suites, In-Room DVD/CD/MP3 disc players, Free DVD rentals, Breakfasts Included in already low prices, Private
Fenced Villa Garden, Pool & Beach Towels, English - Thai - Mandarin - Cantonese Speaking Staff, No Compulsory
Gala Dinners, VIP discounts for Spa - Bar - Tours, Dedicated Daily Housekeeping, an Eco-Friendly Atmosphere
and now also special packages - to name a few.....
3. So, Ok.... you've convinced me - but what about your location ??
Right on the Beach. A White Sandy beach. Away from the main road. A stroll to 7-11 and other convenience
stores. A few steps to a colorful market. Nearby many restaurants, bars and nightlife attractions. Down the road
from the Muay Thai centre. Located between large brand name resorts. Walking distance to International schools.
A short ride to the main town of Saladan. On the closest beach to the car and passenger ferry arrivals/departures.
Within close distance of all tourist hot spots, emergency centres, health clinics, police stations, tour offices and bus
stations.
Being at the south end of Klong Dao, our guests have the choice of two beaches for swimming, strolling or
eating and drinking; Long Beach and Klong Dao Beach, with everything being within walking distance!
4. Hmmm... What makes your resort so different in style ??
We have a traditional Asian-Contemporary Boutique theme that runs through our resort. No cement box
bungalows or adjoining rooms here. All villas and suites have an artistic approach to them, with interior and exterior
design cues inspired by Thai-Bali-Chinese styles. All rooms are detached from one another and all with private
fenced, green turfed gardens. Architecturally designed rooms with a new, yet traditional approach. Each room is
built using local and country Thai traditional products, while maintaining a comfortable room that is as airtight, insect
free and with amenities as modern as possible.
5. Do you have any good restaurants nearby? Or nice bars to just chill out and have fun?
As mentioned previously, being on the south end of Klong Dao Beach, it situates our resort in the middle of the two
main popular beaches of the island; Klong Dao Beach and Long Beach (Phra Ae), and also very close to Saladan.
So in all directions, there are many places to eat and drink, for all ages and at all budgets.
Apart from our own Katana Coffee Lounge, our Focus Restaurant servicing the resort and room service, and our
360 Bar, of course ;) other notable places close by (within walking distance or 5 min motorbike ride) are:
Time For Lime Restaurant & Bar (Cooking School), Da's Kitchen (Indian Fusion), The Tavern (BIG meals), Gong
Grit Restaurant (next door - one of the best on the beach), Layana Resort's Restaurant & Bar (5 star food), Lanta
Seafood & Saladan Seafood Restaraunts (authentic taste), Don's Restaraunt (go for the steak), Easy Bar & Food
(European influenced), Picasso Pub & Restaurant (good place for the kids to enjoy), Royal Lanta Coffee Shop
(nice setting), Islander's Coffee Shop (good bakery), Mr Wee Pizzeria (good pizzas), Red Snapper (go for the
tapas), Moonwalk Bar (chilled), Retro Restaraunt (very cool building style), Mr Green (open till very late), German
Bakery (fantastic), Thai Orchid Restaraunt (just dined recently - great service, great food).
Also, be sure not to miss the local Thai food by the roadsides (stroll outside, turn right, walk about 60 metres) near
our resort....you won't know what your missing until you try some authentic home style cooking.
Just be sure to ask for "Mai Ped" (not too spicy).
6. I have heard so much about your Spa! Why is it so special?
Basically because it has great services, with lowprices! Our spa therapists and beauty consultants are highly
trained from Bangkok and Hong Kong Technical Colleges. Most of our specialized therapies cannot be found
anywhere else on the island.
