    The beach wasn’t the prettiest - so we spent more time in the pool and exploring the island. Even though the rooms were big and clean, the TV’s were on the older side and only one news channel was in English.

    Koh Lanta is not a tourist destination Mecca like Phi Phi or Phuket… which is what we were looking for in between some really busy days. This hotel is in a perfect location if you visit Lanta. If you don’t have heavy suitcases, you could walk there from the ferry doc… otherwise, like us, you could catch a tuk tuk to the hotel but it’s less than a 5 minute drive. There is a 7 Eleven and another shop called Lanta Mart within a two minute walk from the hotel and an evening market selling all sorts of local food and clothing type stores as well. There are also two restaurant/pubs. We hired scooters and rode across the island to the Old Town which was worth a visit… stopping for drinks at a viewpoint along the way… The hotel has big rooms and a huge swimming pool plus an additional small pool as well and you can walk onto a beach from the hotel. Breakfast was good and catered for everyone’s needs. The best part of the hotel was the staff… they were outstanding… The rooms were big and clean…

    The room could use some updating and a more thorough cleaning (depends what room you get, our friends had a newer room.)

    Nice location, right on the beach (very noticable tides). Very pleasant staff but sometimes lacking basic english knowledge. Good laundry service. Spacious room including a decent-sized balcony. Nice pool and breakfast.

    Lanta Pura is a great place if you are looking for a break away from large resorts. Peace and quiet, very nice staff. The hotel is 3* and of this standard, the furniture would need to be refreshed, but everything is comfortable, especially the bed. A few steps from the hotel there is a market and shops, restaurants and massages. The proximity of the pier is also an advantage if you want to travel to nearby islands. Whenever I am ever on Koh Lanta, I will definitely visit this hotel again.

    Breakfast was very disappointing, so much we ate out although breakfast was included. Food was cold and fried eggs very undercooked. No breakfast variety it was the same each day.

    The staff were extremely helpful and the hotel is in a great location for the beach and restaurants. Nice swimming pool, which is essential.

    Beach not as fantastic as some in Ko Lanta as on headland. Little in English on TV. These are minor points on the whole it’s a fantastic place to stay.

    Excellent resort in Saladan Ko Lanta. Easy to walk to ferry terminal. Restaurants and cafes nearby. Friendly competent staff. Lovely pool. Lovely setting, although beach not as good as some in Ko Lanta. Included breakfast has many options.

    Nothing

    Excellent well run hotel/ resort, we had to move rooms and this was handled very competently. Very friendly staff. A block of new rooms and a block of refurbished cheaper rooms. New rooms have large balconies some with a view of the pool and sea and some with a view of jungle and sea. Both are very good. The refurbished rooms are not so swish but still pleasant enough. Breakfast is included and has many options. Cleaning is thoroughly done. Two pools (one more of a lap pool) are nice to use and read by. There a number of monitor lizards which appear in the grounds. Hotel is situated in Saladan so one can walk to restaurants and shops and the port area.

    The majority of the hotel could do with a renovation. It looks dated compared with the pictures when booking. Very loud air conditioning box on the balcony that makes it unpleasant to sit outside with such a noise. Very dark room, poor natural light, you have to switch the lights even during daytime.. Rusty bathroom and impossible not to inundate it while having a shower. The little old curtain, does not do much.

    Very warm and friendly staff, quietness of the resort and secluded from the more crowded long beach with not many people on it, that makes it very private. Only minus of the beach is the proximity to the touristic harbour and at times, little noisy boats or even larger yatches, may interrupt the quitness of the place (without this, it would be the perfect beach)

    The hotel needs maintenance. Each day there was some repair work going on, emitting disturbing sounds, but the place needs thorough renovation. The bathroom wasn't dirty but wasn't clean either, the window in the bathroom was very dirty looked like it wasn't cleaned for years, the walls were dirty and needed fresh paint, the bedpost was scratched.The hotel has great potential. If it was only given a thorough clean up and renovation.

    I have mixed feelings about this hotel. Let me start with highlights: the view is beautiful, the pool is clean and sorroundind garden is very well mantained. We had a pool access room and it was great. The staff is very polite and friendly. Breakfast was ok and the view from restaurant was great. The location is very good too: a few steps away from night market and many restqurants, stores, food stands all the life. The sea view is wonderful, you can swim in the sea till about 2 pm, then it's low tide time, but it's not a problem, you can walk along the shore, watch the beautiful sunset and enjoy the view of boats returning to harbor. The beds are comfortable, the sheets are clean.

    When booking you need to be aware that in low season the pool bar is closed and the restaurant isn’t open in the evening.

    The staff here are amazing! Bee, the receptionist is wonderful and goes above and beyond to help. Lek who makes breakfast is also fabulous and kind and just wants to look after you. The views from the hotel are stunning and the location is perfect.
