We stayed in a beach front villa as part of our honeymoon trip. The room was spacious, well laid out with the comfiest bed ever! The balcony overlooked the pool/beach so we were able to witness the most amazing sunsets whilst having a beer on the balcony/terrace. The staff are all very nice, they remember your name, room number and things you like. The owners also make an effort to introduce themselves and are present everyday to ensure your stay is perfect. Special mention to Nee (I think this was his name) he took our bags to the room and looked after reception some days. Great guy and very funny. The food and drinks are both incredible tasting and very well priced - in line with the island prices which was great value for money. (Morning smoothies are very special) Overall perfect resort - the negative comments on reviews are very very nit-picky. There are places in close proximity but 5 minutes walk. (The sacrifice you make for a secluded quiet beach resort). 100% recommend.

If you want to treat yourself or just have a perfect beach holiday. This is the place you need to go to. The owner Sam and Jackie make sure that all guests feel very welcome. The bungalows are astonishing beautiful and we loved to relax on our private terrace. Live music on Wednesdays, dinner and breakfast at the beach. Great breakfast. I could go on and on, amazing stay!

On the basis that we loved our stay: - the pool could be cleaned more often during the day - the beach sand next to the sunbeds should be thoroughly cleaned. We found some broken glass and sun shade equipment - on a windy day some sun shades were flying off and there was no response from the staff. Also, some holders of the sun shades are very rusty and therefore you could not fix it when the sun shades flew off.

Beautiful location. The rooms were very large and comfortable. The food was excellent and at a very reasonable price for this standard of hotel. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

As non smokers we found that smoking was allowed at the restaurant and around the bar. Although they could argue that some of the tables are outside, it is still annoying to be covered in other peoples smoke when you are eating.

Lanta Palace may be the nicest place we have ever stayed. The bungalows are luxurious and the beach and pool are perfect. The breakfast offers many choices so even after staying a week, we did not tire of the offerings. The smoothies are incredible! We chose to eat dinner there every evening as the ambiance and food were fantastic. We stayed in the beachfront bungalow that I had read in previous reviews offered less than beach front views and little to no privacy. I’m so happy to report that this is not the case whatsoever! The shears on the windows allow for ample privacy during the day, and they have fantastic blackout curtains for the night. The view from our bungalow was stunning. The staff was incredibly attentive and in tune with our needs and the resort offers a tranquil and chill vibe that added to our blissful stay. Thank you, Lanta Palace, for a wonderful stay and we will be back!!!

We loved every single thing!!!

Lanta Palace is in the top three resorts we have visited over a 50 year travel experience. It is small, personal, beautifully situated, and utterly relaxing. The villas are large and beautifully fitted out, the surrounding gardens lush and green, and the pool of good depth and with a great view. The private beach is lovely. However the highlight for us was the restaurant— cascading over gentle levels onto the sand, it was a magical place particularly at sunset. The food was great—starting with a generous breakfast, and culminating in a beautiful dinner. We normally don’t eat many meals at our resort, favouring various neighbouring restaurants— here, we had every meal at the resort, and enjoyed everyone.

The chair in the room, and the balcony seat, were both uncomfortable—if you wanted to read in the A/C , it meant sitting on the bed

Absolutely gorgeous resort located right on the beach Spent ages trying to find the right place to stay and hit the jackpot here. If you're looking for a few days to just switch off this is the perfect place . Rooms are very big and were clean. Beds were so comfy, I woke up thinking I was in my own bed at home! A kayak is available for hire with no booking system, just help yourself. The hotel has a hut overlooking the beach for massages. The restaurant is lovely, the hotel has waiter service around the pool Breakfast is lovely with the best smoothies! Felt so refreshed after two nights here. Thank you The hotel is small and quiet, for us two nights was enough peace but that's just our preference and may suit most people!

What's not to like about this beautiful hotel. We were already booked at the Sofitel in Klong Muang for a week but we booked a special trip to stay at Lanta Palace for our anniversary as it looked so amazing in the photos. I can honestly say it was better than any photos 🤩 The whole stay was perfect. A perfect place to chill out, relax in a tranquil setting. The rooms were beautifully designed with everything you needed and more, great air-conditioning, nespresso coffee machine. USB chargers and although we didn't use the mini bar, the prices were the same as the bar prices which I'm sure would be a bonus for many. Everyone went an extra mile to make our anniversary memorable from the flowers on the bed to our dining on the beach. The restaurant served huge portions of tasty food, the starters were main course sizes! Breakfast had a great selection in a buffet style with waiter service for eggs and smoothies which was a nice touch. Great coffee, I'm sure it was Nespresso too The staff are a credit to the owners of this stunning boutique hotel, who we chatted to after our meal...it was a pleasure to hear the story of the resurrection of the hotel. The hotel is a labour of love, and it shows by the happy staff, and chilled guests Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - we wished it was longer ❤️

Leaving

The resort was beautiful, the villas were nice and spacious, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and it was very quiet and serene. The restaurant and bar area looked very nice, right on the beach and perfect for watching the sunset while having a drink. Once a week they have live music which we really enjoyed. Breakfast was very good with plenty to choose from, a nice atmosphere and fresh fruit smoothies every day.

The beach: Unfortunately, the beach was not as nice as we expected. There were many large rocks in the water and we ended up taking the scooter to nearby beaches that were much more pristine (Nui Beach, Kantiang Beach). The restaurant: Although the location of the restaurant was amazing (sunset dinner at the beach), the food was not great, especially compared to many other restaurants around the resort. The prices were also too high for what it was. We highly recommend trying restaurants like Coco Tango (5 minutes from Lanta Palace) or Phu Pha View Restaurant (15 minutes by scooter) for amazing food and stunning views. The sun chairs seemed quite dirty and some of them were broken.

Loved the private individual villas. Great size and everything we needed in them. Less than a minutes walk to breakfast and pool. Beautiful cared for gardens The breakfast area is lovely no mad rush to get to the breakfast food that you find in larger hotels. Pool area right on beach is beautiful. Cocktail hour is fun. The lovely touch of fruit and cold water brought to sunbeds is a lovely touch. Food is amazing we didn't have one bad meal and ate lunch and evening meal in hotel more than we normally would while on holidays. We didn't want to leave the amazing atmosphere. We stayed around pool longer than normal, showers were taken at leisure to return back to restaurant with beautiful beach atmosphere and great food always finished with a nightcap and friendly banter. Reception staff very helpful and great to deal with. Lovely refreshing drink and cold towel on arrival. They organised airport pick up and return, a moped for a couple of days and taxi to Old Town for a day out which is so helpful takes all the guesswork out of who to call. Every single member of staff amazing with friendly greetings but not intrusive. Owners on site and always ready for a chat. We loved our stay and have booked to return and counting down the days to do it all again.

Absolutely nothing to not like.

Great restaurant, location and staff. Rooms are clean and modern.
