Lanta New Beach Bungalows

This place is something different. Everybody has extandet their visit hear. The bar at the beach is nice and the owner off the bar is kind .

Nice bungalows with cute Bar And Restaurant. Especially bar tender Lom was very kind for us. Location is in the peaceful area just by the sea. You can swim in the ocean when water is up. Room is quite tiny and beds are hard. Nice staff,, bad English. Room was cleaned only once in 5 days.

The rooms were quite rundown, so much so that we asked to be moved, there were numerous problems. Our second room was reasonable. The lady in charge, Nancy at the front desk, is wonderful and she is very helpful and friendly. She wasn't there on the day we arrived, and on check-in we found her offsider rude and sulky, not even a smile. We called her down an hour or so later with a list of what was wrong in the room, but basically no response. The next day Nancy was there and everything ran smoothly, she apologised for the state of our room and we moved, which was easy as it was off-season.

Really nice good sized bungalows that takes up to three persons. The beds are good and the pillows are not too hard. Nice pool area with sun beds facing the ocean and next to the restaurant and bar. There is another pool area in the back as well, but we haven’t been there. There are a lot of rocks in the ocean just in front of the hotel. This makes it impossible to swim at low tide but at high tide it’s ok and on the positive note the rocks provide hideouts for small fish so there’s a lot to see with snorkel and mask. The restaurant serves nice food both local and international and the waiters are sweet and helpful. The Liberty 420 bar does all sorts of cocktails and beers and the bartender is great. And now the negatives: They have this really weird system for getting your room cleaned. They only do it every other day and you have to leave your key at a basket in the reception to indicate you want it done. The reception doesn’t open until 8 am so if you’re going on an early trip it’s not possible to leave your key. Personally I don’t care about having my sheets and towels changed every other day but I certainly care about having my toilet basket emptied EVERY day. We’re here now on day four and I had to change it myself yesterday since no one’s been inside our room besides ourselves since we checked in.
