We loved our quiet stay in Koh Lanta! We booked for a week and then ended up extending our stay several times, staying for more than a month in total.
We loved the fact that the property had four pools (in addition to two kids pools), an air conditioned gym, beach access, and ridiculously nice staff. We opted for a deluxe room that had a bedroom and then a lounge area with a desk, twin bed, tv and balcony. It was perfect for a longer stay, and while the swim in rooms would be amazing for some families, we loved being a little elevated and felt we had our own outdoor space and a little more privacy.
We came during low season and many beach restaurants weren’t open, but the ozone bar next door on the beach along with the massage and laundry place next door were both great! We rented bicycles from Mr. Chai just past the Irish pub for around $40 for the month which gave us mobility to explore a little more. We loved The Backyard and Where Else which are both walking distance from the hotel. And yoga at Non La Mer hostel!
Would love to return one day!
