Lanta Villa Resort, Koh Lanta

Independant Review

The main problem with this affordable resort is the extremely bad taste with which it has been decorated. Not only are the outside walls of the bungalows painted in lurid colours, but the insides are wallpapered in such garish paper that the visitor will be tempted to keep his or her sunglasses on when going indoors. 

The resort occupies a prime spot on Klong Dao beach, but has a pool which is too small, in high season, for all of the residents of the resort’s 64 rooms. Connecting rooms are possible for family use. The resort has a scruffy air and a reputation for offhand service standards, and is not recommended. It is full every high season due to its ease of access from the island’s ferry drop-off point, but better options exist on the beaches further away from the ferry pier.
