Tamarind Twin Resort

Service is not good. I tried emailing them and WhatsApp messaging for up to a week in advance with no response. As we were due to arrive after 8 PM and their website said if you’re arriving after eight to let the staff know because there wouldn’t be anybody at the front desk so we weren’t sure what we were going to come into turns out there was somebody there thankfully the pool is really great nice and big. We didn’t pay for breakfast as part of our room rate, but there was a restaurant on site so when we went to try and eat breakfast, we asked if we could eat there. They speak zero English and did not seem to want to communicate with us. but they didn’t seem to have a problem with us grabbing a plate and eating at the buffet when we tried to pay them they acted like we were doing something weird so we just left when we tried to check out. We ask them if they could call a taxi or a tuck tuck for us and they said oh you can just walk. Your next resort is only about a kilometre away. That would be fine if it wasn’t 40° outside with suitcases dragging down the sidewalk I would not recommend this place service is terrible.

Nice people and pool. Short walk to the beach. A good value. We liked walking one block to the main drag to eat. Long Beach is our favorite on Koh Lanta. Prices were less resorts there.

Nice hotel, clean, well organized, decent location a few minutes from the beach. I may go back

It was mostly good. Fine bed and shower. My only issue was there was nowhere to sit, because for some reason we got the worst room. (The only one without a patio area). Near the beach.

Large nice room, 10 minutes away from long beach. Beds comfortable and good facilities, could be a little cleaner but bedding, towels are clean. Staff helpful and friendly.

My wife and I had a fantastic week here, the pool is beautiful and the beach is a short walk away. They don’t always clean your room but anything you need the front desk is more than happy to get for you. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant that’s attached to the hotel has great food at a decent price. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location -just a 2 minute walk to the beach! I liked staying here because it was comfortable, not expensive, and very close to the beach. Just FYI -my room was crowded, with not much room around the bed, the refrigerator very close to it, as well as the outdated dresser.

I don’t think this hotel is reasonable value for the price. Reception was ok but the rest of the staff were very indifferent, almost miserable most of the time. Stayed 6 nights and don’t think the bathroom was cleaned once. The bed was too hard, and the shower difficult to control. The pool, which is actually part of a different hotel, is quite nice. Good thing, because it’s quite a hike to the beach.

Spent 4 wonderful nights at Tamarind. Staff are so polite and welcoming. Our room was a little small and the design a bit odd however over aspects of our stay made this not feel like a problem. Close to the beach. Has use of a really clean pool. The restaurant on site Is really good, cheap, big menu! You can book tours, hire bikes, they arranged our ferry back and taxi for us. I would definitely return. Amazing Value.

A nice, small hotel with a decent pool, that got quote busy sometimes. 5 minute walk to the beach which was lovely but had no shade. The basic rooms were very basic but the staff was lovely and we were upgraded to the better rooms which were great. Spacious and comfortable. The restaurant on site was not quite up to the standards of the rest of the place. Would definitely stay again. Only flaw was that there was basically no water pressure in the showers, but I think that's fairly regular on koh Lanta. Lots of places to get food nearby.

The people working there are so friendly and hard working, I like them a lot. They have a really sweet ginger cat that hangs out near the pool, I can vouch for both the cat and the pool. The room itself was clean with a decent tv, fridge and kettle. Water was replaced with housekeeping, nice touch. The beach is only a few minutes walk down a shaded path. Fantastic value overall, being not much more expensive than a hostel.

The room was clean and the pool (shared with the Peaceful Resort) is pretty nice. There's an alley to the beach that's a 5 minute walk. It's convenient but unlit so kind of scary at night. The hotel is probably a little overpriced but not too bad compared to other resorts along Long beach. The scooter rentals, tours, and transfers/bus tickets that they sell at the 'front desk' are really overpriced. Go to the small restaurant across the main street for better prices or go into town to save even more.

The service was great and we were happy to hear we were upgraded on arrival. The pool was 30 seconds walk away, and the beach was a few minutes away. Plenty of restaurants around and quite a few on the beach too. Our bed was huge too! Great value for money.

Very friendly hotel and people are amazing. Great location - very close to Long Beach and a few shops (if you need to go to a Mini Mart or buy a few things from a convenience store. The massage you have to pay extra for, but Bau (the massage man) - is amazing and can heal your body aches!

Upon arrival, we couldn't find reception, perhaps because it doesn't exist. The "resort" as it calls itself is simply consists of a block of rooms. Directly next to this, is another resort ("Peaceful Resort"). We had to check in at their reception which was very confusing, and we soon realised that the pool pictured on hotels.com was actually the one in the next resort. Not sure if it had been taken over, but it is not a resort! If you want to stay, just book at the Peaceful Resort. It was very disappointing as we didn't feel comfortable. We felt neglected as no one cleaned our room until the third day. We had to ask for clean towels which were very old and a horrible brown colour. Staff were very unhelpful and reception was empty 90% of the time. We had bought instant noodles for tea, we found our kettle was broken, the young man outside reception told us to "come back tomorrow morning" - wonderful. However the pool was nice and the room was a good size. Not a good location if you don't have a scooter or car, you will need a taxi everywhere! Hotels.com should review this place, it is certainly not a resort!

Clean, spacious room. No wifi though since our room was the last one. We stayed there for 2 days, the resort located lil but far from the beach, I would recommend bungalows that located right on the beach.

Tucked back off the road, down a lane that looks questionable, sits the Tamarind Twin. It is a small (8 room) property next door to a larger "resort." The rooms at the Tamarind are larger than the resort's and much newer. The rooms are neat and tidy. They have everything you need, but nothing more. There is hot water in the shower, though not a lot of flow. The only real short-coming is the reception staff. They are sort of "meh, so what." Check in was iffy and check out was even iffier. I wasn't sure they were expecting me until I looked at their primitive check in sheet and found my name for them. On checking out, they weren't sure if I had pre-paid or not. (I had) But other than that, I was happy with the place. There is food available nearby if you are brave enough to walk around and find it. The 40 baht per kilo laundry service is a plus. There is no included breakfast and that is the biggest hurdle.

Rooms are clean and modern. Short walk to the beach and use of the Peaceful Resort's swimming pool. Really enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave.

In a way, this hotel is an extension of Peaceful Resort. Tamarind Twin is right next to (or behind) it, so there's not much of a view to be had from the balconies. Both resorts share the same amenities: 2 entrances, a reception, and a newly renovated swimming pool. The pool is a decent size with several deck chairs around so it's a nice alternative to the beach. Near the pool is a little hut which is occupied by possibly the best masseur in the province, Mr Noppadol. We went on the 4 Island tour and had an adventurous boat ride in a storm, so the next day my partner woke up with a stiff back; he fixed the problem in just half an hour! Unlike regular masseurs, he uses a combination of Chinese accupressure with Thai massage techniques. Highly recommended :) The room was clean and furnitures are new, but we had a couple of tiles which came loose so there's a danger of tripping or getting injured. As with many Thai hotels the mattress is firm. The toilet is separated from the shower by a partition, but tiles are rather slippery. Hair dryer, jug kettle, cups and kitchen sink provided. Towels are replaced daily. In-house dining is not available but a local restaurant is just across the road. Alternatively, a 10 min walk up the road brings you to the backpacker area and a good selection of restaurants. Minimart is 5 mins down the road. The resort is owned by a local family, staff are polite and always smilling. Overall it was a pleasant experience and great value for the money.

After koh phi phi we loved the size and cleanliness of the room. 3 minute walk to the beach, use of the swimming pool for free, free water and coffee. we booked for 3 nights initially and stayed alot longer
