We choose this place because of 5 star reviews, standards in Lanta must be low as this is average at best. Firstly I’d like to say the couple that own the place are lovely, always smiling and extremely helpful. They even picked us up from the port at short notice. The prices for excursion were also good. The Breakfast: you get two options, Thai/American. We went with the American and had one egg,one sausage, ham, toast, jam and butter. It was okay, nothing special.
The Room: spacious and tidy but not clean. There were dead insects on the floor. We also slept with a lizard on the wall. There was signs of what looked like bird poop all around the walls including the bathroom.
I would recommend cleaning/repainting the walls. Also no hot water.
The Location: Not far from long beach if you hire a moped, about 3-4 minutes. Off the Main Street in a quiet area, on the hill overlooking forest. Excellent view
Extra: you can rent a moped through them, it is cheap but for a reason - the one we were given was badly maintained - looked like the worst bike in the city, the brakes were poor and it was not very stable, could only drive 30-40max before swaying, the first night it had a flat tyre and we had to pay to have it repaired although we do not believe we caused it(we barely drove it, was extremely careful and did not go fast). Good point - It was quickly replaced to a much better model which seemed road worthy. Overall, satisfied with the people but not with the room.
