We are a couple who stayed at Holiday with some friends and my parents - it was a great choice of accommodation and suited all of us. The weather wasn't perfect while we were in Lanta so the pool and pool area was ideal for lazing around, grabbing some food/drinks, playing table tennis etc. We didn't use the beach as much as we did on our previous stay on Lanta.
We stayed in their Deluxe Room (downstairs in bungalow with Junior Suite rooms above). The rooms are big and clean, the bathroom a little dated but it was ok. We had everything we needed and the resort and rooms were kept very clean. Our room was set in the hills at the end of the beach, only a few steps up so this wasn't a problem. The staff at the resort were friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced.
The resort is located right at the southern end of Klong Dao, away from the noise of the bars but only a 5 min walk along the beach to a good selection of places to eat and drink. You can't see the sunset at the far southern end of the beach so you need to walk 5 mins north to ....a good excuse to check out what Klong Dao has to offer.
The atmosphere in Lanta is lovely and the locals are so welcoming. Lanta is very small so it's easy to get around and check out the other beaches, either on a scooter or the tuk tuk style taxis that seem to easy to find.
