Lanta Sand Resort & Spa

Loads of restaurants and massages and stuff to do.

The resort's private beach made the trip. I also liked that there were several pools throughout, though I wished that hours were a bit longer.

This location was really quiet and beautifully kept with lush landscaping, It has a nice gym for a morning workout, the spa was lovely, and there are multiple pools to use. The outdoor shower was really cool! Breakfast options were excellent.

I loved the resort. We got a room with the pool view and it was paradise. I also loved their happy hours and bar! And honestly the food was great too.

Very clean, fantastic service and friendly staff, perfect location.

Service is just fair. Stinky smell from sewage pipe when we took shower. Very bad barbecue, can’t be compared to other restaurants.

Staff is wonderful, location perfect, beach is lovely. Family resort, calm, no music blasting etc. nice crowd of visitors. Good Resturants right nearby on the beach (especially one just to the right of the resort, SUZA Hut, with Thai, Indian, Italian menu, owner is from Malaysia and seems to work 24/7, food is quite good) . Breakfast is okay & right by the sea, staff very attentive and nice, Plenty of parking at hotel if you have a rental car, and it’s 5-7 min taxi to the center of town (for like 2-3$). We like Ko Lanta in general because it’s calm and there are many families. The resort is very friendly, and the poolside rooms are nice. We stayed 8 days, and also explored other beaches by car and went Scuba Diving. But we’re also happy to just be lazy and eat at nearby places and lounge around reading.

The only saving grace is their beachfront location and their friendly and helpful staff . But other than that, the hotel's age is showing - jaded and musty smelling with tons of mosquitoes especially on the ground floor. We chose a pool access room - big mistake as it was dark and dinghy, and had little ventilation, resulting in a musty smelling room full of mosquitoes buzzing in the ears in the bathroom and bedroom. They were kind enough to upgrade my children to a family suite room ( which we were only informed on the day we were told to " downgrade' to the room originally paid for)and that was much better- more bright and airy and spacious. However, what was not appreciated was that in the middle of our stay for the week, we were told to move on Christmas day as it was an upgrade to another room as the room had been booked, ie a downgrade from the upgrade and this was told to us on Christmas morning that we had to move by 2 pm so it was a real hassle and anti-climax especially when we had plans for the day but instead we had to waste our time packing up to relocate to the downgraded room. I think that could have been more tactfully handled.

everything was absolutely fabulous,loved every minute

Great service, fantastic pool, huge room with an awesome balcony, nice sand on the beach just a minute away!
