Tropicana Lanta Resort, Koh Lanta Yai, Phra Ae Bay
Best hotel I stayed in during my stay in Thailand. Staff were excellent,
incredibly helpful, and made our stay perfect. Hotel s location is
a bit secluded, but not a problem. Couldn t recommend highly enough.
Excellent value! |

Chaw-Ka-Cher Tropicana Lanta Resort, Koh Lanta
Yai, Phra Ae Bay
The resort is very secluded with no immediate neighbours, it has lushy
green vegetation, palmtrees and flowers. Staff is very kind. Bungalows/rooms
are very nice, large and they feel brand new. Outdoor bathroom is
nice, shower with hot water and good pressure. Digitally coded safe
in each room, large TV with lots of channels, good remote controlled
a/c. The resort is some distane away from the beach but it is on the
southbound main road. They have motorbikes to rent: manual gearshift
ones for 200 baht/day and brand new automatic Hondas for 300 baht/day.
Pool is small and not deep, but never crowded. Breakfast is simple:
coffe/tea, juice/fresh fruit, eggs, sausages, toast or chicken rice
soup (which was good). If you feel you don t have to be on the beach,
this is VERY GOOD value for money! Highly recommended! |

The place is new and not as far from the sea as some comments state
it (approx. 1 km from the nearest beach: the relax hotel beach) The
rooms are very clean, well equipped and the outside bathrooms are
gorgeous. The staff is friendly but don t speak a very good English.
I think the basic rooms are better value than the more expensive ones
which are overpriced. I don t know why the following elements are
still mentioned on the website as they do not exist!: *no thai buttler
(staff dressed like regular hotel staff) *not 40 staff (approx. 10),
*no service of refreshing water when you wake up, or of hot water
in a bowl when you go to bed, *no massage... just a regular good hotel
but no need to cheat about the service which is nothing but normal.
Moreover, we were very disappointed when leaving the hotel, we were
asked to pay 150 Baht for a broken glass!!! we had just spent 15.000
bahts in the place and were asked 150 bahts for a glass we had not
even broken but had fallen while we were away !! incredible but true...
and not very fair. |

Really great hotel. We stayed at around 10-12 hotels during our time
im Thailand and this one is by far the best one. Ok the location is
not the best but you ll need a motorbike to get around on Koh Lanta
anyway. Great rooms, great bathroom, great staff, great pool. For
1500 Bath it s a bargain. |

Fantastic resort. Beautiful setting, pool and bungalows are luxurious
and the outside bathroom is just fantastic. Staff more than helpful,
really good deal for such a great place. |

This resort is gorgeous, the grounds are amazing with all the tropical
plants and greenery, it feels like a real oasis. The room was great,
and the outdoor bathroom was the most fabulous thing I ve ever seen!
However, despite all that, the place feels a bit lacking in soul...
it was a bit empty, the restaurant was pricey with average food, and
was right near the noisy road. I would recommend staying here, but
suggest hiring a motorbike and eating somewhere else! |

This hotel was fantastic. The rooms were large, comfotable, beautifully
decorated and peaceful. For the price of 1500bht without a doubt true
value for money. A bungalow like this in Australia would set you back
atleast 4000bht++. Breakfast was very basic and needs to be improved
as if you stay for a week you are tired of your only options: shrimp
congee or toast with eggs ham and sausage. Hotel is located within
1km of Long Beach which has great places to eat my favourite being
Retro which serves fantastic Italian food also reccommended by Lonely
Planet. I suggest hiring a motor bike and exploring the island. This
can be done through the hotel for 250bht. The pool was beautiful and
very relaxing. I would reccommend this hotel to honey mooners and
couples not families with young children due to it s peaceful nature.
Would return without second thought. |

I had a fantastic time at this resort and the staff tried their best
to accommodate me, for example I wanted a push bike rather than a
scooter to ride while I was there. They were able to locate one for
me within a couple of days. I would recommend this resort and its
friendly staff to anyone who wishes a peaceful and relaxing time within
stylishly appointed surroundings. |
