LANTA PURA beach resort-SHA extra plus

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. Let me start with highlights: the view is beautiful, the pool is clean and sorroundind garden is very well mantained. We had a pool access room and it was great. The staff is very polite and friendly. Breakfast was ok and the view from restaurant was great. The location is very good too: a few steps away from night market and many restqurants, stores, food stands all the life. The sea view is wonderful, you can swim in the sea till about 2 pm, then it's low tide time, but it's not a problem, you can walk along the shore, watch the beautiful sunset and enjoy the view of boats returning to harbor. The beds are comfortable, the sheets are clean.

The hotel needs maintenance. Each day there was some repair work going on, emitting disturbing sounds, but the place needs thorough renovation. The bathroom wasn't dirty but wasn't clean either, the window in the bathroom was very dirty looked like it wasn't cleaned for years, the walls were dirty and needed fresh paint, the bedpost was scratched.The hotel has great potential. If it was only given a thorough clean up and renovation.

Staff are very friendly.. They serve you halal breakfast and food.. Most of the staffs are Thai Muslim.. Ms.Bee is the best!! She is the receptionist.. She will help you with anything. The location is very accessible.. Can walk to 7eleven, seafood restaurant, money changer only at front of the hotel road, mini supermarket, morning market, street market at night.. Hotel have no elevator that's all.. Others I give 5stars!!

First of all, the staff is terrific! They make you feel very special in such a lovely, authentic way. Not only that, but they are super helpful as well. I would have to say this place shines in the customer service area compared to all of the other places I have stayed. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. They’re large and comfortable. I found the bed comfortable compared to some of the harder beds that I’ve slept in. The pools are lovely being so close to the beach and watching the sunset was truly epic. I went out diving, and every time I came back on the boat, I would see Lanta Pura, and think, “that’s my home for the night!” I just think of this place is ace, and if you can afford it, it’s like medium ranged expense, you will not regret staying here!

Didn’t like how all the guests claimed their beach chairs early in the morning. And then you would just see a lot of empty seats. But I can’t even think of anything else.

Lanta Pura is a great place if you are looking for a break away from large resorts. Peace and quiet, very nice staff. The hotel is 3* and of this standard, the furniture would need to be refreshed, but everything is comfortable, especially the bed. A few steps from the hotel there is a market and shops, restaurants and massages. The proximity of the pier is also an advantage if you want to travel to nearby islands. Whenever I am ever on Koh Lanta, I will definitely visit this hotel again.

Excellent well run hotel/ resort, we had to move rooms and this was handled very competently. Very friendly staff. A block of new rooms and a block of refurbished cheaper rooms. New rooms have large balconies some with a view of the pool and sea and some with a view of jungle and sea. Both are very good. The refurbished rooms are not so swish but still pleasant enough. Breakfast is included and has many options. Cleaning is thoroughly done. Two pools (one more of a lap pool) are nice to use and read by. There a number of monitor lizards which appear in the grounds. Hotel is situated in Saladan so one can walk to restaurants and shops and the port area.

Nothing

It's completely beyond imagination. I give a perfect score. Excellent location. We will come again next time.

Excellent location,fantastic views Brilliant staff vey friendly. Swimming pool and outside area excellent Dinning room and resection are excellent Kept clean and tidy

Restaurant closed at 3pm and pool bar not open due to low season. This was very disappointing. This should of been said in the advertising. Bathrooms in bad condition shower kept running hot and cold ,shower head full of lime scale,shower curtain black mould spots. Bedrooms okay .In truth the owner should really take responsibility and improve these areas In no way do I blame the staff for any of this as they work extremely hard. A lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss

Lanta Pura is in a perfect location. The views are stunning. The staff are amazing. Especially Bee, the beautiful lady on reception. The area is lovely.

Lanta Pura is in a perfect location. The problem is that in Low Season, which is when I stayed, the hotels Pool Bar is closed and the Restaurant is closed in the evening. The walking Street nearby is closed, most of the shops and restaurants are closed. It makes the stay peaceful and calm but guests should be made aware of this when booking during low season. It’s so quiet I would be uncomfortable staying alone during low season.

Excellent resort in Saladan Ko Lanta. Easy to walk to ferry terminal. Restaurants and cafes nearby. Friendly competent staff. Lovely pool. Lovely setting, although beach not as good as some in Ko Lanta. Included breakfast has many options.

Beach not as fantastic as some in Ko Lanta as on headland. Little in English on TV. These are minor points on the whole it’s a fantastic place to stay.

Nice location, right on the beach (very noticable tides). Very pleasant staff but sometimes lacking basic english knowledge. Good laundry service. Spacious room including a decent-sized balcony. Nice pool and breakfast.

The room could use some updating and a more thorough cleaning (depends what room you get, our friends had a newer room.)
