Popular Koh Lanta 4-star Hotels

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alama Sea Village Resort! It's a short walk down to the restaurants and beach, but it's a completely different feeling coming up to the view of the mountains and the beach. We stayed in a two-room cabin that has a small terrace with outdoor stairs between the rooms. The view was fantastic (we stayed quite high up) the large windows have a film cover to keep heat out and people from looking in, it worked very well. The rooms were very prettily furnished and clean (no insects or lizards to be seen), although one of them had less good storage than the other. The beds were softer than others we encountered, but not super soft. The pressure in the shower wasn't great, but that is perhaps to be expected when it is so high up. The cottages are located with their backs to each other, which made them very private. The hotel grounds are nice with frangipani trees and hibiscus, but have a few blemishes here and there, but nothing that bothered us. We didn't see or get disturbed by any monkeys during our stay. There are a lot of stairs, of course, with such a location. The pool was absolutely gorgeous against the wonderful view of the mountains and the beach. However, it gets hot in the morning when the sun is directly on, but in the afternoon it is more shady and cool. The pool area is not very big so I was worried at first that it would be crowded there, but it never was, it was very peaceful. The breakfast was very good and served with an incredible view in the upper restaurant, although sometimes there was a lack of seats in the shade. We only had lunch at the hotel twice and then unfortunately the service was very slow. Also note that they don't serve alcohol. The staff was very friendly and nice and the receptionists were very helpful and friendly with good English. If I were to give some improvement tips to the hotel, it would be to maybe have a chair or stool on the patio in addition to Thai cushions, beanbag and hammock. Maybe they should also make another row of sun umbrellas instead of the rear ”shelf” with beanbags that they have today, that's rarely used. We didn't dare lie there in case the kids fell down or you dropped stuff. A nice touch though was that the rooms came with a pretty basket to carry beach towels etc. in! Overall we enjoyed ourselves very much in Kantiang Bay, it was quiet, beautiful and cosy. The beach is incredibly beautiful and quite unexploited with the mountains in the background, although it is not chalk white as is sometimes said, and there are rocks in the water that are noticeable especially at low tide. There is also nowhere you can rent sunbeds and hardly any accessible natural shade. We recommend afternoon swimming and the restaurant ”Same same but different”, which is nicely located under trees at the southern end of the beach (where there is a completely rock free patch too).

We loved our stay here! We originally only booked 2 nights but ended up staying for another 4 because we loved it so much. The host and all the staff were so friendly and kind! The host even made the whole hotel food and we all ate together - it was delicious and so much fun! The room we had was very nice and we thought the beds were comfortable especially for the price. You can rent mopeds, get your laundry done and he can even help you book all your transfers and day trips at really good rates! It was a really great location with lots of great places to eat nearby. It was also a 2 minute walk to The Sound Shack which is a lovely beach bar. We definitely plan to come back and stay here again!

Overall, the price is not high. 1. Near the beach, the price is higher, about 480 a night; 2. The room is small, the facilities are simple, there is no hot water and air conditioning; 3. There are many mosquitoes, which may be because it is hot and near the sea, which makes it afraid to open the door, no screens, and the room is a little stuffy; 4. The boss's English is good, communication is not a problem, he can help to set out travel programs, buses, etc. The prices are not bad, and the service staff is very good 5. Nice environment, very farmhouse style, suitable for vacation; 6. Just by the sea, you can eat and be dazed by the sea; the food tastes good and the price is moderate.

I am very grateful to the architects, you have made this hotel beautiful, especially the one bedroom pool villa facing the sea is beautiful! The first impression it gave us was luxurious and shocking! The most expensive room type of this hotel is unique on the same beach. In addition, even if you book a normal room, you can also enjoy the beautiful public swimming pool. What doesn't match its expensive price, however, is its service. Except for the proprietress, other staff, including the hotel front desk and restaurant waiters, could not communicate in English normally, which caused a lot of inconvenience during the check-in process. Regardless of the room type, even the 4,000-night villa pool room does not have any welcome fruit, or any other value-added services or small items to give you the feeling of a ”VIP”. The cleaning service of the room is not timely, it is embarrassing to always clean when the guests are there! And the cleaning is relatively sloppy, the table is not wiped... In addition, the breakfast buffet is mainly bread and eggs for Westerners, but there is no cheese, no cold cuts, and even jam and yogurt only have one flavor. I saw the disappointed eyes of other foreign customers. When we asked if there was an Asian breakfast, the waiter told us: sorry, no! Well... the same breakfast for four days in a row is a bit boring, and we also had very stale bread on the last day... In terms of drinking, there is no freshly squeezed juice, but fortunately, the freshly ground coffee in the hotel is really delicious. In addition, although there is only one employee on duty at the pool bar, the cocktails he made are really good, especially the mango daiquira recommended by the boss, which tastes amazing and tastes better than the first five-star hotel on the island we went to later. . Everyone must try it. In short, we still had a wonderful holiday in the hotel. After all, when traveling, mentality is very important. It's just that every time I think about the price we paid, I feel it's not worth it...

In fact except Mr. Kwun. No one else smiled much. It's not as good as a vendor selling Thai snacks with a bright smile. As a hotel with a relatively high positioning. While you are happy with the money. Your service level, your sanitary environment, your geographical location, and your various supporting facilities should also keep up. Among them, the comprehensive quality of service personnel is very important. Empathy is also important. The lady in the hijab (smiling to the whites, indifferent to the Chinese), took us to the hotel room. There are two rooms available, let's just use one of them. Of course, there is really no need for our family of three. But not something you can bring to me. Because I defaulted to paying for the entire room. No matter how many rooms I think I have the right to use. (In the end we didn't use it because we didn't want to burden the cleaning staff, and indeed we didn't need it) because we were scheduled to go to Krabi Airport at 5 pm. So after hotel check out (2pm). The BOSS of the hotel arranged another villa for us to rest. Thank you so much. However, the lady at the front desk who wore a hijab led us to the living room without air conditioning. It's still hot in July. This makes me uncomfortable. I don't know if it was the headscarf lady's own idea or the decision of the hotel boss. Don't criticize me, you are picky and picky when you live in a free room. The day before, I directly mentioned how much it would cost to add money for a delayed check-out. Mr kwun said it was free. I just decided to rest at the hotel. . How could I know that the price was too high or there was no air-conditioning? It doesn't matter if I just book a cheap hotel for rest. The kindness of the original boss was taken to the living room by the turban lady to rest. I fell asleep and woke up from the heat. uncomfortable. Later, I applied to the boss again, and went to sleep in an air-conditioned room in the bedroom. The hotel boss also agreed. But I don't know why there is an extra twist. In the end, when I left, I put 100 baht to the person who cleaned the room. Below is a screenshot of the chat with the boss. I really can't understand, since I was given a villa for free rest, but I was not given an air-conditioned room, what is the purpose of the operation. ? Finally thanks again to Mr. kwun for his help. Thanks. Below is a wechat conversation with the hotel boss (maybe the manager).

The hotel is on the hill. If there are many people, it is very good. Kitchen utensils are readily available, and the water in the hotel pool is a sea of water that is worth a try. There are also monkeys in the mountains, don't fill in the taste. The only downside is that the traffic is slightly inconvenient. The road up and down the mountain is a bit of a test of the level of riding a motorcycle. I really enjoy the feeling of lying on the terrace watching the Milky Way, that is, to prepare for mosquito prevention.

There is breakfast, it is a case, the environment is very good, very feeling, very quiet, the beach is beautiful, the sunset is super beautiful, the hotel rents a motorcycle is very convenient, 250 plants solve the traffic problem one day.

When you stay at Oscar Apartment in Ko Lanta, you'll be on the beach, within a 15-minute drive of Klong Nin Beach and Long Beach. This beach hotel is 6.4 mi (10.3 km) from Klong Dao Beach and 0.9 mi (1.4 km) from Khlong Toab Beach.Enjoy recreation amenities such as bicycles to rent or take in the view from a terrace. Additional amenities at this hotel include complimentary wireless internet access and tour/ticket assistance.Breakfast is available for a fee.The front desk is staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 6 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators. Complimentary wired and wireless internet access keeps you connected, and satellite programming provides entertainment. Private bathrooms with showers feature complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.

I really like the style of the hotel and it blends perfectly with the surrounding environment, similar to some domestic homestays. The facilities are a little bit old, but they have everything they should. The rooms are large and the balcony with sea view is very awkward. There are not many varieties of breakfast, but it is completely delicious. The semi-open restaurant and garden perfectly blend with the sea view, bringing a good dining mood, which is enough to offset the shortcomings of fewer varieties. The flame dance at the bar on the side is also a highlight, making the night more exciting. The only thing that is not tolerable is the problem of bath water. The water flow is often very small. When I came back from the beach and stood under the shower head. When the dripping water could not clean the sand on my body, my heart collapsed. I stood and waited for a few minutes. It took ten minutes for the water flow to return to normal levels to finish the bath. The sea and beaches of Kantian Bay are not as good as expected. I think the comments in the comments are a bit too much. After all, Thailand has many more beautiful beaches than here. In general, it is a wonderful experience for people like me who love to lie on the balcony or garden and enjoy leisure time.
