The location was perfect. It’s in a quite area, close to the national park and overlooking the ocean. The rooms were comfy and the property was beautiful. The food and drinks were more expensive than surrounding restaurants, but they were very good.

We had a great stay and loved the amazing views. We truly enjoyed our regular chats with the staff who were hilarious and fun, helpful and kind!

Best value hotel on the island. We had the top south room and the views from its balcony where breathtaking at sunset.

While the sunset views of this small boutique hotel are spectacular, the hotel management was either completely unprepared for our arrival or didn't want us staying at the hotel. The hotel is managed by a European family. When I arrived, the owner looked me directly in the face and ignored me as I carried several bags up to the hotel check-in by myself. Inside the check-in, we were again made to feel unwelcome and ignored in favor another patron who was asking about laundry service. Keep in mind, it is a two hour boat and car ride from the airport to arrive here. We were tired, dirty, and in need of a room. Of course, the room was not prepared for us. We were sat in the bar, where we were charged for water (I have to emphasize we were exhausted). We really did try to make the best of it, but we were just not wanted at the hotel. After waiting an hour, we were given a room. Luckily, we were able to explore and enjoy Koh Lanta. The regular working staff at the hotel were pleasant (Thai hostesses, groundsmen, and housekeepers). But the management is just horrible. My instinct tells me we were poorly treated because we were South Asian. Had we been stuck at this "resort" it would have been a horrible destination.
