Koh Lanta Hotels with Airport pickup service

We spent 11 night here with my husband and 9-year-old son, and we all really loved the place! We stayed at the Pond room, and even had a partly sea view. I highly recommend booking Pond room instead of little cheaper Deluxe room. Pond rooms are all close to the pool and other services, whereas Deluxe rooms can be really high up the hill. We are not afraid of hills or steps, but even for us climbing all the way up felt quite exhausting (we did this once). Good: - The room was always clean and with good amenities. - Nice pool area(s) - Thaiboxing facilities a nice extra - Really good breakfast with anything you can ask for. Cappuccino etc. can be ordered (free). - You can walk (15min?) to nearby beach with many restaurants (you do need some adventurous mindset and a good flash light in the evening, though). You just need to locate the small wooden bridge and ignore the gaps :D - Nice restaurants short drive away (Coco Tango our absolute favorite with stunning view at sunset), drivers always flocking outside the resort gate. - Also some casual restaurants on walking distance and even right across the gate. - The spa was divine (though really, really expensive on Thai standards - one hour massage was something like 50 € with the happy hour discounts 😅) Not so good: - The bed is HARD. I mean _really_ hard. I was really surprised to find the bed to be such poor quality in a five star resort. I was sore the whole stay as it was impossible to sleep nicely. Even though I loved the place, this is the reason I would not return --＞ So, if someone at the hotel is reading this, please do invest in softer mattresses! (or even soft mattress topper) Good to know: - The monkeys invaded the resort area few days before we left. The staff did their best to keep them out, but still we had few encounters with aggressive monkeys, one of them even flashing teeth and rushing towards our son. I know, we're in the tropics and this could happen, but just to let you know to be cautious. - Some places were a little worn out (e.g. our terrace wooding was partly falling apart), so if you are looking for shiny and new, you might find these small flaws disturbing (we didn't mind). - Prices for food and drink are high (as one can expect in a five star place). - It is quite far away from Saladan, which is good to know if you for example dive (boats leave from Saladan, but dive shops do arrange the transportation, you'll just be the first and the earliest to be picked up) All in all, I do recommend this place, I just hope they would fix the bedding. It was really uncomfortable even on thai standards (we have been staying in much cheaper places with decent mattresses). Luckily there was heavenly spa that helped with the aching muscles 😜

The two villas with sea view are in any case recommended. Beautiful, relatively clean, reasonably equipped but relatively expensive. The bathroom or the shower hangar in the shower area are rather tasteful. The breakfast buffet is almost enough in our case, but it still has enough air upwards. For example, there are no cakes, etc. The staff is mostly friendly and very premature. Excitingly, the wonderful beach and sea access. Conclude: beautiful resort and probably not the last time here

This is our 4th hotel out of 7 on this particular trip but sadly comes in a bit lacking for me, I had very high expectations. Firstly on check we asked about hiring a moped. The girl on the tours desk barely looked up from her phone and said “no”. We managed to rent one down the road at Miami but this is the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in Thailand that doesn’t help with motorbike rental. We didn’t approach her for anything else as for me, first impressions last. Our room was okay, can’t imagine when booking why I thought a bath on the balcony was a good idea! My bad! There was tons of wardrobe space and the bed and pillows were comfy. Lacked conditioner & body lotion which I’ve found in other hotels. Generally the room was a bit tired and needed a good deep clean. The bathroom mirror hadn’t been cleaned since the last guest and we had ants around the sink on day three. The shower had very intermittent water temperatures and had black mould at the bottom near the drain. Also tea/coffee spills on the floor that hadn’t been mopped. The communal areas I also found to be grubby and unkempt. No-one sweeps up leaves and they get mingled with bits of rubbish. The sunbed areas aren’t mopped so drink spillages give sticky dirty patches. You get the gist. Breakfast was really good, plenty of choice and half decent coffee. I just found the ambience to be generally quite standoffish and unfriendly, apart from Mr Bunty who was lovely. Most days we went out to Horizon Bar on the beach, much nicer vibe. There are no showers or foot washes between the beach and the pools which results in the pool being full of sand. All in all I have been disappointed, for the price I expected better. Small improvements would make this hotel much better.

The resort itself is quite nice. It’s super peaceful, clean and has pretty much everything you need to enjoy the stay. Staff were generally friendly and willing to help. Of course, since it’s hard to hire more staffers during the pandemic, room cleaning and cooking understandably took longer time. It would be good to keep this mind if you order room services. Btw, there is a lovely cafe called Smoon near the hotel. We spent a lot of time there for coffee, western-style breakfast and lunch. The resort has a private beach, but it’s the best for kayaking, not for swimming or snorkeling. There are too many rocks near the shore and water visibility wasn’t desirable during our stay. The beach is good for sunset watching, though. For those who travel with little kids, it’s a good spot to find hermit crabs. For room tips, rooms with pool view are in a new building which provides bigger space and better internal designs. The seafront villas have better views, but they require a steep climb to get there.

The staff are very enthusiastic, speak English, and the location is really very good. It is very close to the beach pier that goes to the sea. There is hospital 711 diagonally opposite. There are many restaurants and the hotel has swimming pools. Unfortunately, the schedule is too full and there is no time to swim. , A small villa is very comfortable, the hotel provides car rental service, 180 baht a day for motorcycles. You can also help contact when you go to the airport.

Very satisfied check-in experience. After arriving at the store, I added 100 RMB a day to upgrade the room type. The room was very big, and I didn't allow an extra bed if I brought a baby, but in addition to the double bed, there was one bed that was enough for an adult to sleep. We used it for stacking things. Air conditioners, electric kettles, hair dryers, umbrellas, hangers are all available, and the separate toilets are also large, with wet and dry partitions. The shower water is not very hot, but compared to the hot weather, it can’t use very hot water. There is a small terrace outside each room where you can dry clothes and drink tea. Although the hotel is not big, the environment is good and quiet. The room faces the swimming pool and the swimming pool faces the sea. The beach is much better than the one in Krabi. You can go barefoot. The sunset by the sea is beautiful. The hotel staff has a very good attitude, breakfast is not rich but full, small hotel suitable for vacation and leisure, nearby 711 convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants, fruit stalls, night market barbecues, and reservations at sea are very convenient. If you are bringing a child on Lanta Island, it is recommended to live in the northern part of the island, which is more convenient for transportation and supporting facilities. The southern part of the island is indeed a bit deserted and it is not very convenient for shopping.

My family, including two toddlers, recently spent two weeks at Southern Lanta, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. We opted for the sunset villa, which was definitely worth the extra expense compared to the family bungalows we initially considered. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the rooms were consistently clean (kudos to the diligent cleaners), and the pools provided ample entertainment for the kids. The proximity to the excellent beach, just a stone's throw away, was a definite highlight. Moreover, the location was ideal, with numerous restaurants within walking distance offering delicious food (with the exception of the pizza). A special mention goes to the staff who went above and beyond when we realized we had booked the wrong dates. Despite being fully booked, they managed to accommodate us, which we greatly appreciated. The atmosphere at Southern Lanta was perfect for families like ours, and we had the pleasure of meeting and befriending many other like-minded families. I would highly recommend this place to families with young children, although those without kids or with older children MIGHT want to consider their options. However, for this to be a perfect rating from me, there is one area that could use improvement - the gym. The facilities were subpar. The treadmills were inadequate for anyone weighing over 75kg and wanting to exceed 9 km/h, and the overall equipment quality left much to be desired. Additionally, the air conditioning in the gym was ineffective, making workouts uncomfortable. With some limited investments and minor effort, the gym could be significantly improved. Despite these minor flaws, our stay at Southern Lanta was overwhelmingly positive, and we would gladly return in the future (at least for as long as our kids are young).

In the distance, this hotel is in the middle of the island, a fork in the road, not near the sea, not near the mountains, opposite the mountains. Twenty kilometers from the troubles in the north, the hotel car takes five hundred pigs to the dock. There are motorcycles available for rent in the hotel. Two hundred and fifty pigs a day, refueling yourself, gas station No. 91 oil fifty pigs plus one sixth full. You have to ride a motorcycle wherever you go. Three minutes from the 7-11 convenience store is the dirt road. Suitable for small children. Breakfast is very bad, just bread and eggs, fruit plate is still ordered, there is no order, and no matter full, just one, go to the front desk every night to choose what to eat the next day, there are two, the first one is basically 1 Full of water. The second is fried eggs and bread, and there is no Chinese at the front desk. English is Malay English, and especially chicken thief. I lived for four days. On the last night, I went out to eat by motorcycle. The front desk booked 3400 pigs for a day trip, and finally chose TB. Renting a motorcycle also requires a passport. It is estimated that I will not choose here next time, and the price is average. There are few Chinese. Are old Europeans and Americans. very quiet. The sun is nice.

The hotel is not big, but the staff are very enthusiastic. It was off-season when I went there, and there were not many households in the whole hotel. It felt like a private hotel. But it was relatively deserted at night. The hotel rents a motorcycle directly, 250 baht a day, no passport is required. There is a gas station diagonally opposite. There are many small fishes and crabs on the beach next to the nearest 7-11 to the north, and a few kilometers further north there is a restaurant with Chinese rice bowls, which is quite amazing

One of the best stays I've had the pleasure of experiencing! The rooms were tidy, spacious and very nice, with water bottles being brought to you every morning. I loved how comfortable the bed was, and I can't think of anyway how the room could have been better. Additionally the people running the place are some of the loveliest people I've ever met, particularly the owner/person at the front desk, Win. I really enjoyed chatting with Win, and he was one of the most attentive and helpful people I have ever met. He also helped me out with renting a scooter, which made my stay in Koh Lanta even more enjoyable. It was always nice to walk in or out of the hotel, as there was always a group of kids watching tv on the couch, who really created a cozy atmosphere, or the owner was there smiling and asking how your day has been so far. I was there for only 4 nights, but could have easily stayed for many more, and I was sad to leave the place. I really really could not recommend this place enough, and will try to visit it again someday, even to just greet Win.
