Baan
Laanta Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta Yai, Kantiang Beach
The best beach in Lanta, great bungalows overlooking the bay... unfortunately
the bathrooms were open to the elements which meant we got a bit bitten
alive ... lovely spot and highly reccomend, if not just so you can
eat at Same Same but Different the other end of the beach, amazing
food, lovely restaurant! Why Not bar fun if you fancy a few drinks
also... |

Very nice hotel. I can really recommend to go there... I would suggest
to take the Seaview Bungalows rather than the Poolside Bungalows just
because if you wake up and see the sea and beach its amazing. Unfortunately
they are not 100% perfect when cleaning up the room and I am a very
picky person but its still ok and I would definately go there again.
BTW they have the best BBQ on the beach (and the best I ate in Thailand
ever) Tiger Prawns and the Red Snapper - delicious!! |

The setting and facilities are wonderful, but do not expect great
service or much in the way of attention-to-detail. Ensure you are
not in rooms 3 or 2, which are gorgeous beachfront villas but adjacent
to the bar which has music going to 2am and beyond each night. Highly
recommended, but only for the very chilled. |

We had a wonderful holiday and our experience of Thailand was really
a memorable one. Be aware that Baan Lanta is a muslim resort, no bacon!
Breakfast was rather boring. We would like to raise 2 issues about
Baan Lanta which really bothered us. The first was that when arriving
at Baan Lanta we were not given the Bay Front room that we had paid
for and was upgraded at an extra cost, but rather a seaview at the
back which was dark and small, Yum (the manger) did say that we would
be moving but he wasn t sure when! We stayed in the seaview room for
2 nights before we moved. This is a difference in cost which we were
not reimbursed and we did not mention then. We did e-mail on our return
with complaint, but we are STILL awaiting a reply which we feel is
very rude. Secondly, every evening we supported the resort by eating
at Baan Lanta from the barbecue which was excellent and reasonable
for the wonderful seafood etc. BUT on our last night we also ate the
barbecue but upon departure the next morning we were given a bill
for over 1,200 bht and were charged 580 bht for a Jack fish! No fish
in the world would cost us the equivalent of R120(SA). We expressed
our shock to Tina but Yum was not available and we had to leave to
catch our boat. Tina on reception was amazing and really helpful,
so were the Bar staff. |

Baan Lanta is a truly lovely place, on one oft he best beaches in
Lanta. Rooms are beautiful, and even though the sea view is not always
visible, it simply does not matter. The only thing - rooms can really
do with additional lighting by the bed - it is too dark to read when
it gets dark. I loved all the people who worked there - very friendly,
very accomodating and helpful. Food is great - guys really can make
delicious stuff! Some people around complained about slow service
and wrong orders at the restaurant - but all of my orders were precisely
as I wanted them to be and scrumptuos. |

Very overpriced for Ko Lanta, and what it offers. Finish on the room
is poor (e.g. big hole under the sink where a panel should have been,
sink loose(!)and no light above the sink for make up or shaving needs),
and the cleaniness,cleaning and makeover of the rooms could be much
better. Not a problem for us, and rewarded with fine views but need
to menton lots of steps - not for the unfit or unfirm!. Front of house
customer service needs to be much more welcoming and friendly. having
said, Kantieng beach is fabulous. |
