Pinky Bungalows is sweet”

Pros: -Good location mid-island so you are not too far from anything. -Easy and cheap motorbike rentals right from the hotel. -Awesome pool, not too busy and well-kept. -The hotel's restaurant across the street makes great food. -Great staff. The owner and her staff are very active and helpful. At the same time, they're also laid back and flexible depending on your circumstance (we had to change our room once and they were very accommodating). -Got the best massage of my life from one of her masseuses. Very therapeutic and deep tissue. -If you're into mushrooms they have mushroom shake places at the nearby beach bars, but the availability might be seasonal, not sure if they have them all year round. Cons: -Can't think of many cons, but it did seem slightly expensive for what we were paying for (it was high season, but still). -It's not a secret, but the beach closest to Pinky is not suitable for swimming because of the rocks. There is a nearby beach about a 5-minute motorbike ride north of Pinky that is great for swimming. Overall: I would definitely stay there again. We got to see some of the other hotels/resorts on the island and Pinky Bungalows seemed superior. Tips: -The speedboat from Koh Lanta back to Phuket is MUCH more convenient than the ferry, which is overloaded with passengers and extremely slow. It is more expensive but I think it's totally worth it. You can book it from Pinky. -Rent a motorbike and go check out Koh Lanta old town and other parts of the island. It was really fun.

Service with a smile in a peaceful enclave”

Island life can be pretty crazy with young people pouring in to take advantage of cheap beer and food, partying all night on the beach and generally having a loud time. That's great when you're in your 20's, but it gets annoying to be around when you want to explore local sites and culture in peace. Pinky Bungalows is not on a beach, but it does have a beautifully maintained pool, and is only a five-minute walk away from the white powder sands of Klong Khong Beach. Breakfast is included in the price, and rooms have A/C. In December and January, a fan would provide ample cooling and one can be provided - just ask Mamanong. Each bungalow has a table and two chairs on its front deck, a lovely location to have a cup of tea in the morning or a Chang at night. The bathroom is roomy, modern and scrupulously clean. There is a wardrobe and a vanity, but an easy chair would be a nice addition, as would a couple of glasses, even plastic ones. Business is good, with many customers returning for repeat visits. In preparation for this tourist season, Mamanong and her family expanded from having 5 bungalows to 15. They deserve every bit of their success. Mamanong herself is a whirlwind of positive action, providing suggestions for tours and recommendations for getting around Koh Lanta and negotiating transportation If I go back to Lanta, I would stay here again. It's not luxurious, but it has a nice, family vibe and is good value for money.

Great place to stay”

Stayed at pinky bungalows initially for 4 nights after the 1st night we decided to stay for 3 more what a great place. Koh lanta is beautiful very quiet but enough to do, the beach at klong kong is very rocky but long beach is great:. Pinky bungalows at brand new and very clean and tidy rooms are great with air con and wifi. Moma nong is just brilliant very helpful pleasant and always around to help as is he husband. Would defiantly recommend pinky as a place to stay couldn't fault it, great holiday thank you, Nicola, suzie and Dan

Fantastic value”

we stayed at pinky bungalows for 6 nights and could have easily stayed more. there are only 5 bungalows in this quiet and very well maintained location, which is about a 5 minute walk to klong khong beach and plenty of good beach bars. mama nong (the owner) is the most friendly and helpful host we've had in a month of travelling thailand. it was also by far the most comfortable bed we slept in our entire trip. there were a lot of ants in the room at times, but it's not a big deal - just don't leave any food out. they clean the rooms daily, unlike many other places we stayed. we would return in a heartbeat!

Very pink and green!”

Do yourself a favour and stay at Pinky Bungalows when on Ko Lanta! Large immaculate bungalow, impeccable gardens, lovely refreshing pool. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Central to all attractions (but recommend hiring a motor bike to see everything). Isn't directly on the Beach (Klong Khong) but a couple of minutes walk away. If you are very lucky you will have some fun with the baby monkey who helps clean the pool:).

Perfect place to stay for a perfect vacation.”

Staying in Pinky Bungalow in Koh Lanta has been the best decision I made. After so many times I've visited Thailand this place is my favorite, with super clean room, super comfortable big bed, nice swimming pool (one big and one smaller) and super friendly staff. not to mention i was lucky to meet the Pinky co-owner Chris as well as his friends Georg, and Mamanong who's running this place with her heart! Really awesome time I had here. Oh! And they have amazing buffet breakfast includes waffle and Thai style food in the morning! Definitely recommend Pinky Bungalow for everyone!

Wonderful!”

We are a couple that stayed at Pinky's Bungalows for what was originally going to be 3 nights but we ended up coming a night early. Mama Nong was more than accommodating and even though the room we had booked (Luxury Bungalow) was not yet available, Mama put us up in a Luxury Room that was cheaper but soooo nice. We had the top, front room that had a balcony view of the main road in Lanta and a view of the pool. It was the best! It was so nice that we decided not to changed to the Luxury Bungelow and just stay in our "room with a view"! Everything was so clean and well maintained. The pool area was quiet, small and relaxing. It's not a giant resort with a million snobby people queuing for breakfast, you just walk down a small hill to the restaurant for breakfast and all the women that work there are so nice and helpful. The food is good. Not amazing but perfectly satisfactory. There are so many places to eat around there that you will definitely find something delicious! IT's a short walk to Klong Khong beach but I recommend taking a short tuk tuk drive to Khlong Nin for a beautiful relaxing day on the beach. There are more secluded beaches than Khlong Nin but we prefer to have some restaurants close by so we can get beers and pad thai, and spend the whole day under an umbrella!! Can't recommend Pinky's enough!

Stay here....best deal on Ko Lanta!!”

Amazing bungalows in a wonderful part of the island. Mama Nong is the best hostess ever, there is nothing she won't do to help you and make your stay perfect. Ko Lanta is paradise and Pinky Bungalows are the perfect place to stay. Make sure you include breakfast because it is the best in Thailand. Also the price is unbelievable value - we looked at many places at twice the price and nothing else on Agoda comes close. Stay here, you won't regret it for one second. Also make sure you visit Lanta animal welfare - they are doing something very special there. Love Pinky, Love Ko Lanta

Super nice hotel and staff”

We stayed in a bungalow and it was renovated and clean. The pool area was nice and clean, with a bar which served delicious coffee and cappuccino and drinks. The restaurant had also good food. We booked a 4-island tour and rented scooters directly from the hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was ok, but they had also another breakfast menu. Overall we had a lovely stay at pinky bungalow and I’m definitely recommending this hotel for anyone who’s going to Koh Lanta!

Made our week wonderful”

6 Made our week wonderful Review of Pinky Bungalow Resort Reviewed January 6, 2019 via mobile We rented two rooms for our family Dec 27- Jan 2. Through our stay, Mama Nong, sister and various other family and staff made our stay wonderful. When we left I felt like we were leaving new found family. Beds were comfortable, both pools were fantastic, scooters were great (missing my scoopy ;). Included breakfast served the purpose- convenient and fresh. Location was half way point between north and south of island - scooter easily to old town in ~20min and 10min to Saladan. If I was to find one issue our water heater worked sporadically- cool shower was welcomed though after hot days. Thank you Pinky’s for such a warm and welcome experience!

Excellent Stay!”

Amazing stay. I stayed in one of the newer luxury rooms, which was super clean and modern. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast served in the Pinky Restaurant was great and there are 3 pools to use....one of them with a small bar with a great happy hour. I’d recommend renting a scooter so that you can explore Koh Lanta and visit it’s various beautiful beaches. I’d highly recommend a stay at Pinky Bungalows.

Fantastic bungalows, great value for money”

We were 2 friends travelling and had read really good reviews about these pinky bungalows so we took a chance and booked. We were very pleasantly surprised when we got there, the staff were amazing and really looked after us, the own Mama Nong speaks great English and will do everything she can to make your stay special. The bunaglows were really clean and very well designed, the misqito net around the bed was an added bonus! Fresh fruit in the room everday and cleaned every day. The breakfast was fantastic too, and it was only a 5 minute stroll to the beach. Great spot on the beach too as its fairly quiet and has loads of chill out bars and restaurants. Only downside was that you cant really swim in the sea as there are too many rocks, you can certainly go up to waist height though before reaching any rocks. Plenty of other beaches nearby if you want to swim. Although there is no pool, guests are able to use the pool nearby at her uncles bungalows, its right next the beach and we spent a whole day by this pool. Overall I would highly recommend these bungalows!

Perfect”

We loved staying at pinky bungalows. It was low season so the prices were lower but still we had a great time. The beds were soooo comfortable. We were upgraded upon our arrival to a room in front of the pool. The staff were always so kind and nice to us. Some says they brought the breakfast to our room, other days we walked to the restaurant to get breakkie. It's a 2 min walk :) Soi, one of the staff members, she was the loveliest person ever! We extended our stay and I'd highly recommend pinky bungalows. Perfect holiday at a perfect place. Thank you for everything!

Boutique-style hotel, close to beach”

My husband and I spent two relaxing weeks at Pinky’s in November 2014. Incredible value for the money, outstanding location, personal and friendly service, great breakfast, nice pool, and clean, we are so glad we chose to stay here. It’s an easy 8 minute walk to the beach. You may find other properties closer to the beach, but my impression is that these properties are either more run-down and yet more expensive, or they are your luxury resorts with the price tag to match. Pinky’s is like a new boutique hotel at a budget price. Very kid-friendly given the pool. Wifi was strong at reception but hit and miss in the room. Momma Nong will help you with your every need from excursions to transportation and beyond. There are many nice restaurants and bars all right there. Check out Kwan’s Cooking School restaurant, Kunda anti-pop café, and the restaurant at Coco’s resort on the beach for food. For bars head to the beach and check out Mushroom bar, Cloud-9, and the place next-door to Cloud-9. The best beach is Kantiang Bay Beach, and while you’re there have lunch at Same Same but Different. One side of this beach had extremely gentle waves, so easy swimming, while the other side has waves. This beach is about a 15 minute car drive, and you can arrange a ride there and back with Momma Nong for about 1000 Bhat. Room tips: Most of the accommodation is bungalows. Some bungalows are stand-alone and some are two bungalows attached side-by-side sharing a porch. In addition there is a two-floor building with two rooms per floor. We stayed in the building which was great and the best room in this building was the top-floor room with the ocean view balcony (room C-1 I think). The building is right next to the pool so the bottom floors would be great if you have kids. My guess is that the quietest option would be to request a stand-along bungalow that is farthest away from the pool.

Great place for relax”

Pinky Bungalows is situated near the main road but it's far enough to remain quiet place. You can easily get everywhere you need - beach is 5 min. walk away, food is 1 min. walk away. One thing I really dislike about it is included breakfest - selection is very limited and some waiters tried to discourage me from picking "more expensive" positions claiming that they have no igredients (but others collected the order and prepared meal for me at the same time!). Food quality during breakfests is also lower than when you order something you have to pay for. Salad added to one of our breakfest dishes was partially rotten. Fruit shakes are prepared using juices/drink and addition of fruits - that's also not something you would like to pay for. We once caught a cook redhanded when she was preparing a pineapple shake - she added boxed juice and tried to hide it quickly when I approached. Summary - stay at Pinky Bungalows and avoid Pinky Restaurant.

Perfect”

After a few disappointing days in phi phi we were searching for a nice quite hotel in ko Lanta. We found it with the pinky bungalow. The hotel was very clean, the personal very frienly and the price was really cheap. We can really recommend this accommodation. We had a nice stay and have to thank the owners for the wonderful days in their resort.

Great place to stay”

Sure there are beach front bungalows in Ko Lanta cheaper than Pinky but hey when u want some aircon and a pool for a change then it's great value for money.. breakfast included, ferry pickup included.. wifi and aircon in room are great.. scooter rental is fair price.. Beach is maybe 200-300m walk & some small shops around.. solid choice for a break from fan bungalows

Amazing stay ”

We had a really pleasant stay at Pinky: staff was great and very welcoming! All services (scooter/tours/taxi van) can be booked from there. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice. The resort itself is beautiful and clean with two nice swimming pool and an amazing garden! I would definitely recommend to everybody going to Koh Lanta!

Excellent value, wonderful management”

The bungalows are clean & spacious, definitely an excellent value! Wifi worked well. The room was cleaned daily and beach towels were provided. Klong Kong beach is across the road and has many restaurants and bars. Mama Nong is a font of information and can handle bookings for any activity or transportation to/from Koh Lanta. We loved our stay!

Nice place”

We liked pinky Bungalows, nice little bars and restaurants around. The beach isn’t good, too rocky but there are lots of beaches to explore in Lanta. Not sure how Pinky got such rave reviews though. We found the staff very abrupt and not at all friendly except one lady who was on the bar and coffee making, she was really lovely. Also cleaning staff were friendly too. Wouldn’t go here again, plenty of other nice places to stay in Lanta.
