Lanta Sand Resort & Spa

We got a free upgrade to the villa. Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Service is a bit slow but other than that, everything is perfect! 10min tuk tuk to the cloest town.

Serene property with numerous outdoor water features, foliage and inviting beach frontage. Some rooms have a pool taking up the entire area of the balcony, something I'd never seen before, which makes for quite the novelty if you like the idea of your own private swimming space. The room was spacious and tidy, with powerful air conditioning and no shortage of complimentary bottled water. However, some of the pillows were lumpy and we needed to take the Golidlocks approach in figuring out which was just right. Additionally, the shower only offered flow from out of half of the available holes, and no amount of twisting the shower head could remedy this. Maximum temperature was also on the "warm" side, much to the dismay of my fellow, hot-shower-loving traveller. Breakfast was particularly good when French toast and bacon were up for grabs, and is served in a lovely open-air restaurant overlooking the resort's private beach. It would be nice however if they offered real fruit juices, or at least something more resembling a fruit than those fluorescent cordials that are probably 165% syrup. Wifi is of reasonable speed, but with a consistent connection. Overall, it is a pleasant place to relax and take it easy, with a few opportunities for improvement to make it really impressive.

Lanta Sand was a phenomenal hotel at a great price. It was not crazy expensive and was amazing. The 2 pools were gorgeous and the chairs were padded which was the best. Located right in the beach, there beach chairs were really cool. They had large ones that overhung onto the beach. Everything about this hotel was gorgeous and the staff was super friendly. They went above and beyond, helping us carry food back to our room and helped my friend send money to previous hotel we’d stayed at because she left her coat behind and wanted them to ship it to us. Great bang for your buck, you won’t be disappointed with this pick!

Lovely hotel. Right on the beach. Staff super friendly. Lots of lovely beach bars & restaurants along the beach. Crystal clear water great for snorkelling.

This is a nice option near to the busy parts of long beach but a little further to the side that you get the quietness of the beach. The rooms are a little dated but nice enough for a 3-4* hotel. The service at the front desk was good but not 24 hours and we had a problem with the safe for a couple of days. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is fine but the shower was too cold for our liking. The swimming pools were fine but always too busy. It was a little annoying that there were no towels or drinks near the swim in pool. In addition, the sunbeds were taken too quickly as people from outside (who were not hotel guests) were also able to use these. The hotel seemed to cater for families and some large tour groups. The other area that I believe they should improve is to substantially reduce the price in their restaurants. The area is so competitive that most people were eating outside with the hotels restaurants empty. We were in a family room and the private pool water did not seem very clean or changed very frequently. The hotel location is great, near restaurants, bars, massage places etc. Would recommend.

Pros: situated right on the beach Short stroll to bars, eating, massage along the beach Lots of lounges to enjoy beach & sun Lovely outlook to islands Beautiful Gardens Amazing friendly staff Cons: Breakfast just ok often cold food Villas nice but dark with bath in courtyard, might serve better as a private garden No ATM nearest is 10 min walk away which is not fun in the rain

It was a good place to stay, the beach is right there. The staff was friendly, but in our villa's bathroom there was a sewage smell that was not pleasant and not taken care of properly. Our neighbours had no wi-fi and a few problems there also. Unsure if I would stay here again, the beach was amazing though.

Very Nice hôtel , breakfast is good , beach is perfect ,

Had a very good stay at Lanta Sand Resort & Spa. It's a nice hotel right by the beach with many facilities such as pool, spa and restaurant/bar by the beach. The hotel staff was very friendly and greeted us with a smile every time we passed by the desk to ask questions or book activities and services. We were also able to rent a nice scooter with the desk for low daily rate and private van to and from the airport. We had a family plunge room although we were just 2 people but it was our cheapest at the hotel at the time. Our room was neatly cleaned everyday. Although our bathroom sink didn't drain properly the cleaning staff did remove the plugged for us without us having to request it being fixed which I found thoughtful of them. I would have given a higher rating of it were' t for their bathroom. It had pebble like floor and no division for the shower hence made it feel like you were showering in a public shower. Overall we had a very good stay.

Suited for people wanting to be located by the beach. The walk to the outside shops and bars is comfortable, but involves a busy road. The food and drink in the restaurant are very good and at a good price. Two pools to choice from.
