On a budget? Find Cheap Hotels in Koh Lanta, Thailand

"The Twin Lotus is a new, modern hotel in reduced but always pleasant design at Klong Dao Beach in Koh Lanta. We paid half of the regular price for a Deluxe Garden Villa and the room was well worth the money but I would not pay the double though. The bungalow style villas are spacious and tidy, the room service is discrete and effective, the staff is very friendly and always keen to help. Late check out wasn't a problem at all, although we only left at 3 pm. Downsides are that the level of English of the personnel is quite basic though and the service is not as attentive as I would expect for a five star hotel. The breakfast buffet was rich but with hardly any variety. Filling up bath room utensils like sanitary bags or complimentary tooth paste etc. did not happen, neither the laundry bags. On its webpage the hotel advertises a child free environment ('Please note: Twin Lotus Koh Lanta welcomes guests aged 18 years and over.') but there were lots of families with small children anyhow. As the hotel was not fully booked in late March/early April it did not bother us too much, but if you come in the main season and expect a calm environment you may be disappointed. The hotel bar closed far too early (around 9:30-10 pm), sometimes even before the restaurant, which is a pity if one would like to spend the evening chillaxing with a drink. The Beach Deluxe Villas may be more comfortable due to the fresh wind from the seaside. All in all, I would recommend the hotel, it is definitely one of the most luxurious ones on that beach, especially for the price we paid. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time! "

"We booked our stay at Royal Lanta to celebrate our one year anniversary, it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived the service was first class and we were even given a complimentary massage at the resorts day spa. The bungalows are beautifully presented with high ceilings and a huge bed. The location is close to the beach, Klong Dao, which is one of the best swimming beaches in Koh Lanta. The included breakfast was the best we had in our 7 week stay in Thailand. The Mountain View Pool was secluded and relaxing and there was also an infinity pool which was more popular with the families. The staff were always friendly and helpful and will arrange the hire of a motorbike or car for exploring the island if needed. The gardens and boardwalks separating the bungalows gave a feeling of complete privacy and were kept spotlessly clean. I hope to return to Royal Lanta Resort in the future. "

"- Staff were friendly and helpful. - Rooms and toilet were clean. - A small lamp(reading light) beside the bed. - Hammocks under the trees are excellent place to relax. - A small area with bean bags to chill! - During happy hours(at night) u can get beers for very cheap price. A good time to hang out with others. - 2 min walk to the Long Beach. If bored games are available would be great. Yet, its still a grrat place to make friends and have a chill time. Will definitely stay here again if I'm in Koh Lanta. 100% worth the money."

"The staff were so helpful giving us advice on where to eat, which snorkel tour to take, providing a free shuttle to the closest town, giving us a cot for our 6 year old at no extra charge. Our daughter loved the pool and being able to use the unicorn and flamingo floaties. Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent! The buffet breakfast was amazing. A mix of western and Thai breakfast choices. We enjoyed crossing the little creek to the north and getting 300 bhat massages at the local bar. The resort is a bit outside of town so it’s nice and quiet but you can’t just walk to town to check out shops and restaurants. Also Tuk Tuks are a lot more expensive at night and on average more so than in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Getting to the resort from the Krabi Airport we just hopped on a minivan taxi for 400 bhat/person. Our daughter was free. It took about 2 hours to get there with all the stops to drop off other travelers. We loved our time in Koh Lanta and wished we could stay longer!"

"This was a piece of paradise in Koh Lanta. Excellent location just beside a stunning beach with a nice touch of nature. This is a perfect place for a romantic retreat. The staffs were responsive and helpful. Breakfast was good but could be improved by allowing more options for halal foods. With all those positives, this hotel had some negatives as well. These are Cons: 1. This hotel does not have any intercom, so communication is very difficult if your room is far away from the reception. They should introduce intercom asap. 2. The room had a bad smell which probably came from the old noisy air condition. 3. No Dtac mobile network there, which is not really a cons for the hotel but a warning for future travellers to Lanta. Do have your AIS or True SIM ready for Koh Lanta. Overall, this is a superb hotel with a stunning location which has some room for improvements. "

"My friend and I were quite satisfied with the hotel regarding to its price. The location is really good, close to the center and convenient for everything. And the beach of the hotel is so so beautiful and we regret we only stay there for 1 night. The room is clean and well equipped. The staff is friendly. While the breakfast is just so so, and the bed and pillow is not very comfortable which is far from 4-star hotel. For those who went to Koh Lanta, I would highly recommend this hotel and I will be definitely choose this hotel for next time to Koh Lanta."

"I have been treated extremely well at my short holiday break at Sri Lanta Resort at Koh Lanta Yai in Thailand. I travel a lot due to my work and have through 25 years tried many kind of service levels. At this smashing perfect located Resort with an amazing bounty seaview the entire staff is second to none - definitely some of the most genuine service minded people I have had the pleasure of both meeting, talk with and being served by. Their enjoyment of serving is obvious for anyone that ask for real service and a high skilled service level. If the bars above had 7 stars opportunities - the staff should have had 7 stars. No doubt. They all communicate well in English and follows up continuously to ensure I were feeling good and they really enjoyed what they are doing. I simply have to come back to this small piece of heaven. My best and honest recommendations to this Sri Lanta Resort at Koh Lanta Yai and it staff - an impeccable experience. Thank you. L. Nielsen"

"Very happy with Nakara Longreach Resort, we chose this resort on recommendation from friends who had stayed a couple weeks prior. The resort is going through some updates so there is a bit of construction but its not too loud or inconvenient. We booked a Superior suite but were immediately upgrade to a Deluxe which was closer to the beach and right in front of the pool (very nice and clean), perfect for us. Rooms are clean, there are some lizards and bugs around but thats a given due to the location near the beach and the vegetation around the island. Staff was really friendly and helpful, especially the front desk ladies helping us book tours and transfers. We also rented a motorbike for a day from the front desk, relatively inexpensive and almost required if you want to travel around Koh Lanta. We just needed to leave a piece of ID as repost before we returned the keys. The only thing that wasn't amazing was the breakfast buffet, it was okay -- only had an omelette/egg station 1 out of the 4 breakfasts we had and everything else was subpar. The sunset is very beautiful from long beach! I would definitely recommend staying here and if I find myself back in Koh Lanta, I will be a returning customer!"
