“Horror”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked unseen by a travel agent in Bangkok. When we arrived we thought to have a nice bungalow. But after one night sleep my body was full of bites. Another guest told me that a Swedish lady was also bitten before by bedbugs. I made my complain by the owner and he gave me a new room. But after searching the bed I found two bedbugs. I did catch one and show the owners and told them i could not stay any longer. The man was very kind and brought us to an other resort. They told us they did spray the room but I was so scared now, having about 200 bites on my body and research on Internet tells me that bedbugs are difficult to wipe out. I felt sorry for the owners because they were very friendly people. But they need to clean the houses badly. I myself work also in a hotel and we also had once bedbugs in a room, we bring in a special team of people who clean the room and for one week the room was out of order. I went to a doctor in Ko Lanta and I asked her if it happens often that people got bitten by bedbugs, she answered every day I get people here! So from now on I will check the bed carefully. Oh and now I'm staying at Lanta Sea House, in one word "perfect!"

“No sleep”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011

The resort was booked through Unseen Travel when we were taken there by a Tuk Tuk in Bangkok so we don't know how much we payed to stay there. Our main problem with the place was the nightclub next door that continued playing until three oclock every night we stayed there, and it wasn't even good music. So if you stay here, make sure to have good air plugs.

We also had a fan room and since the bungalows are so big this do not help very much. Make sure to book with aircondition even if it costs more. With aircon and airplugs you can be able to get some sleep.

The beach looks good so it is nice to sit by the beach, however, rocks in the water and also the tide makes it impossible to swim there. There is however a pool by the bungalows that are fairly okay. You can of course also rent scooters at the resort and go to much better beaches on the island.

The owners and personell are nice and friendly, but the woman administering the place is very strict. Food price is okay and the food tastes quite good even if it is small potions and the meny varies from time to time. It is also free wifi in the reception area which is good.

Since sleeping is the most important part of having a hotel room for us, we unfortunately cannot recommend the place. However, if you like to hang out in bars to three oclock every night and have aircon, it can be quite okay.

“Best stay during our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

We loved this bungalow!!
We spend 5 days there and it was just nice.
The bungalows are clean (anytime you want it to be cleaned, just tell the friendly stuff), big, and most of them with air con.
You can rent motorbikes there, what we did every day- very cheap and very good.
The whole stuff is just great- very familar. The beach is just in front of the bungalows- but not so good for swimming. As I said, we rent the bikes and we drove to some other beaches. No problem for us...
We would go there every time again.

“Do not go here - you have been warned!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2010

Intended to stay here for 5 days but left early. Looked good in the brochure the agent in Chiang Mai showed me. But brochure/web site heavily Photo Shopped and bears little resemblance to the reality, which is shocking. Very run down, dirty (no one cleaned in the time I was there), old damaged furniture, place crawling with insects. Breakfast was very basic. 'Welcome drink' was half a glass of flat Coke (I should have realised what was coming). During heavy rainfall a snake came down from the roof into my room. They moved me but had no concern about it. I left the next day. In reality only one bungalow is on the beach - all others are back along a trail facing each other so little privacy. This place is very basic with absolutely no charm. Hugely overpriced. Beach is heavily polluted at high tide mark with water bottles, clothing etc. Beach has loads of broken glass on it and very rocky at the shoreline. Paradise this is not!

“Cannot recommend this place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

This 'resort' is extremely over priced for what you get and to call it a resort is a stretch of the imagination. I paid 700baht for a bungalow that did not have hot water and was pretty shabby. The service overall was poor and I was extremely disappointed with my stay. There are cheaper better quality bungalows at other places in Koh Lanta, I cannot recommend this place.
