Lanta Seafront Resort

Great value for money and helpful staff

Helpful staff Across from very good beach Close to great restaurants and bars

Fridge not cold When you took the key no electricity in room

We had beach front room which was right on the beach with own beds and chairs. A lot of good restaurants around, maybe 10-15 min walk

1. Breakfast! If you have an option not to take a breakfast in this hotel - don’t take it and better go somewhere else! 3 out of 4 people from our group got sick after eating there. Additionally, personnel is extremely slow and walking with a face like you bother them so much! Boiling eggs takes 20 mins, making omlet - almost 30!! They are constantly running out of cups, knifes, jam, bread or food etc already in the middle of the breakfast time slot and refill it only after several reminders! Really bad experience with eating there! 2. We took the most expensive room in this hotel and with price of 160e per night we didn’t have hot water in a shower, even after they “fixed a problem”. Also beach front rooms are poorly isolated, you hear noise from the road. 3. Transfer. Normally hotels pick you up from the boat on this island. This hotel simply didn’t come to pick us up, although we shared all details. Why they didn’t come - I didn’t get an answer in the end due to poor English. 4. Also watch out for being overcharged for all extras you ask, like taxi for example. They give you a price twice higher than you get right behind of the corner yourself. 5. And maybe something not depending on hotel but just to manage expectations of other tourists, if you are looking for a “paradise beach” with white sand and blue water - it’s not the place. Better to choose smaller islands around

The staff was great!! Minus one guy who seemed to me drunk or on drugs , minus him everyone was great . The pool was nice

The bathroom always seemed to smell of sewage Definitely off the beaten path

There were mainly two people at the reception, of which one, Wawa, was exceptionally lovely, professional and helpful, the other perhaps still learning the job in general, including how to speak to customers in a cheerful and polite manner. He did improve during our stay. The beds were bigger than usual twin. Also the pool was very nice and towels available at the reception.

The beds were too hard (as usually in these parts of the world). After trying the hotel breakfast twice and comparing to the other surrounding (hotel) restaurants, we concluded that it simply wasn’t up to the level of the other places nearby, so we were happy not to have breakfast included in our reservation.
