We loved our quiet stay in Koh Lanta! We booked for a week and then ended up extending our stay several times, staying for more than a month in total. We loved the fact that the property had four pools (in addition to two kids pools), an air conditioned gym, beach access, and ridiculously nice staff. We opted for a deluxe room that had a bedroom and then a lounge area with a desk, twin bed, tv and balcony. It was perfect for a longer stay, and while the swim in rooms would be amazing for some families, we loved being a little elevated and felt we had our own outdoor space and a little more privacy. We came during low season and many beach restaurants weren’t open, but the ozone bar next door on the beach along with the massage and laundry place next door were both great! We rented bicycles from Mr. Chai just past the Irish pub for around $40 for the month which gave us mobility to explore a little more. We loved The Backyard and Where Else which are both walking distance from the hotel. And yoga at Non La Mer hostel! Would love to return one day!

We stayed in a room with a balcony pool. The room was spacious and tidy. Bed was also large, though a little hard. Free drinking water was limited to two bottles daily. Staff was accommodating and polite. Prime location on the beach. Service on the beach and at the lobby pool was a little slow. Overall, good stay.

Looks good on paper...
The hotel is on long beach which has had its day, it’s deserted, lots of bars and restaurants that have been abandoned for ages. The hotel is nowhere near anything, the beach Is full of rubbish and the sea is not calm enough to relax in it. The restaurant is is crazy expensive, breakfast is 250 baht per person, what might be a cheap room rate will get clawed back in the extortionate rates for food and drink. My room was cleaned once and it was half done, the problem was they pub chemicals in the plunge pool that were overwhelming, I had to get out as I felt like I was being gased. I wouldn’t come back to koh lanta, phi phi is much nicer, if I did this hotel seems to tick everything off, but factor is food and drink costs and the remoteness it’s not worth it

Tired resort
Disappointing upon arrival as the pictures that advertise the hotel as well as the welcome video on the television were probably taken back in 2003 when the resort was first opened and had different facilities back then. Check in kindly organised us a room upgrade to a smaller, but modern room unfortunately this room had loads of ants and smelly drains, to some people this may not be surprising, but after nearly 3 weeks in Thailand we hadn't experienced. The room upgrade also came with a signifcanr expense but in return gave us a free breakfast. Unfortunately I also had to wait nearly 2 hours for a porter service to assist with moving rooms.

The location is great right on the beach but I have definitely stayed in much better hotels in Thailand for this price! The restaurant food and cocktails really are nothing special and housekeeping is quite shoddy. There is one great staff member named Jordan who will always do his best to help you out!

The room was amazing, I had a deluxe pool access room which was so convenient as I just had to open my balcony door for the pool. The staff were friendly and helpful especially Pha at the restaurant, she made me Nescafé coffee everyday without asking as I didn’t like the filter coffee they served. The only complaint was the room had nothing to dry your clothes and pool towels on.

Staff is wonderful, location perfect, beach is lovely. Family resort, calm, no music blasting etc. nice crowd of visitors. Good Resturants right nearby on the beach (especially one just to the right of the resort, SUZA Hut, with Thai, Indian, Italian menu, owner is from Malaysia and seems to work 24/7, food is quite good) . Breakfast is okay & right by the sea, staff very attentive and nice, Plenty of parking at hotel if you have a rental car, and it’s 5-7 min taxi to the center of town (for like 2-3$). We like Ko Lanta in general because it’s calm and there are many families. The resort is very friendly, and the poolside rooms are nice. We stayed 8 days, and also explored other beaches by car and went Scuba Diving. But we’re also happy to just be lazy and eat at nearby places and lounge around reading.

Meh......
The only saving grace is their beachfront location and their friendly and helpful staff . But other than that, the hotel's age is showing - jaded and musty smelling with tons of mosquitoes especially on the ground floor. We chose a pool access room - big mistake as it was dark and dinghy, and had little ventilation, resulting in a musty smelling room full of mosquitoes buzzing in the ears in the bathroom and bedroom. They were kind enough to upgrade my children to a family suite room ( which we were only informed on the day we were told to " downgrade' to the room originally paid for)and that was much better- more bright and airy and spacious. However, what was not appreciated was that in the middle of our stay for the week, we were told to move on Christmas day as it was an upgrade to another room as the room had been booked, ie a downgrade from the upgrade and this was told to us on Christmas morning that we had to move by 2 pm so it was a real hassle and anti-climax especially when we had plans for the day but instead we had to waste our time packing up to relocate to the downgraded room. I think that could have been more tactfully handled.
