Hotel and Beach Bungalow at Lanta Resort

This resort is a nice, budget friendly, family oriented resort. The grounds are a bit outdated and could use some upkeep, however, the pool areas are very nice. Also the resort is located directly on the beach with a restaurant and bar available. The room that we had was clean and the a/c worked almost too well. It was very nice and cold. The breakfast was average for hotel breakfasts, offering eggs, breads, pastries, different local fair and fresh fruit and coffee. They offer a tourist guide area in the lobby that set us right up with motorbikes and tickets for the ferry back to the mainland. Would not recommend this place if you're trying to meet new people, a lot of families and couples. Swedish culture rules here.

I would’ve rated it 5* if only the staff was a bit more helpful and the breakfast improved. All in all, we had a superb time here in the low season. The hotel was pretty much empty and we just drove by and got hooked. There’s a restaurant by the beach, with an awesome breeze to cool down with some drinks. If that doesn’t do it for you, there are a number of restaurants and bars along the beach. The sunset is amazing and should be experienced every day.

Very nice resort, with one huge and several smaller pools at the start of Long Beach. Rooms are big, clean, and pretty standard for Thai islands. Good drinks, decent breakfast buffet, although I would have loved some spicy Thai dishes in addition to the usual Western options. Great omelettes! Appears to be halal, with chicken ham and chicken sausages. We only booked 5 days, and wanted to prolong our stay, but it was already fully booked.
