This is the worst place I have ever stayed in my life!

Looked nice enough - right on the beach front, nice pool etc.
Problem came when we were shown to our room. It was along a very dark and rather grim looking corridor, the hotel was build about 25 years ago, and nothing has been done in those 25 years to upkeep it.

The room was missing basics like towels and toilet rolls and the shower was broken – when I asked staff for the items they acted as though I was really putting them out, which I found very unusual as from my few weeks in Thailand I’d stayed in a number of places from basic beach bungalows to posh spa hotels and they’d all been really helpful and friendly.

When we came back to our room in the evening however we got a nasty surprise. Every cockroach in the area seemed to be in our room - climbing through the rather dated dirty curtains and coming out of the ceiling. By then it was 10pm and no one was around on reception. The room was so disgusting there was no way we could spend the night there. We explained to a security guard, who called someone up. I assume this was a duty manager type, he didn’t seem to think it was a big deal sleeping in a room full of cockroaches and gave us a spray (which was useless), by 2am he finally showed us to another room on the upper floor – equally grotty but not as many cockroaches. We check out at 7am the next day, without any kind of apology from the staff and had to argue to get a refund on the money we’d paid for the next night.

Do not stay in the is hotel, it is grim, dirty, depressing and the staff are rude and seem to know nothing about customer service.
They rely on people staying there as Lanta is such a popular place but make no effort with the upkeep or service.

I am a travel agent and i loved this hotel, beautiful beach fantastic staff great food and on one of the most beautiful islands in the owrld. Fully recovered after the tsunami and are crying out for your tourism. Go here its lovely. Great for kids and young children. Not much going on for teenagers. Large pool and right on the beach. They have a few beachfront bungalows which you can literally step onto the sand from. If you can afford it the upgrade to the superior room is well worth it. Lovely views and superb service. The rooms are traditional thai style, quite basic but very clean and airy.

After 3 weeks of travelling on a low budget we wanted to indulge ourselves with a stay in a nice bungalow at the beach front. Well, the bungalows of the Andaman Lanta Resort are definitely located at the beach but a sea view bungalow does not necessarely face the sea! We booked a so called sea view bungalow but had a pool view instead. You might be lucky and get hold of one of the "sea view" bungalows that actually have a sea view but this doesn't make the poor breakfast any better! They offer white toast, one type of sausage and some thai food for breakfast. Well, maybe that doesn't sound too bad but if you stay in a 3.5 star hotel and pay 3300 Baht/91 US$/69 € per night (peak season) you expect a bit more than that! The rooms did have a tv (only 2 english channels) and aircon but were loveless and old-fashioned furnished. We were very disappointed from this hotel. The place is not worth the money. There are definitely better deals on the island!

I paid 2400bt p/n for this place through a travel agent last minute. Too much I would say given the accommodation.
Rooms have tv and aircon and a bed. decor is tired bathroom is old.
We stayed in a deluxe bungalow?
Look elsewhere I think you will get a better price or better accom.
Good for ple on a budget who are not fussed by accommodation.
Good beach close to the front of the hotel, but the place is very quiet with nothing to do really.
I got food poisoning from on of the beach restaurants, I think it was called Picasso... dodgy green curry. it put me out for 2days. Great pasta at a up market place a lil further down the beach from there though. But you will pay for it..
tuk tuk 40bt to most places. Free transfers to hotels..
