Budget hotel.. Comfortable but smelly!
A budget hotel that could do with better staff.. The room we stayed in was supposed to have a garden view but was actually a view of a wall! The room itself was very comfortable and the clean. They seem to believe in rules for everything.. Hotel pool was built without grout between the tiles so easy to cut yourself (be careful) The view from the pool however is top notch! Sewage smell throughout the day by pool and the right hand side of the breakfast buffet needs to be addressed!

Only advantage is convenience
Good location, condition dated, housekeeping good, staff ok. Close to town centre and Saladan ferry pier. Many eateries and shops around. Snorkeling and diving trip pick up convenient. The beach not great.

Convenient hotel for diving.
Stayed here for scuba diving so did not use the hotel facilities much. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. The hotel is very convenient for the pier and diving.

Great place to take a holiday
I'm so glad we chose to stay here! The hotel is super easy to reach from Saladan pier, where our ferry came in. There is a lot to do in the area, including good street food, renting motorbikes, and of course the beach. Unfortunately the resort is located at a spot where the tide is out most of the day so its not the best beach experience. The hotel restaurant was great and we loved the pool bar.

The room looked like they were still in the process of renovating it. The bathroom had an unfinished look around the toilet paper holder and railing (patches of cement) Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

GREAT LOCATION & GOOD FOR THE PRICE!
We got our room for a steal on last minute in low-season and were really happy with the choice. Only a few minutes walk to Saladan Pier, it was perfectly located for our 8am Ferry back to Phuket. The pool was lovely and the hotel is located right on the water, meaning that we could walk right out to the sand dune in low-tide and watch the sunset with no-one in sight. The room was clean and we had a nice view of the water from our balcony.

Great find!
Hotel was a great little find for just 1 night. Rooms are comfortable & immaculate, lovely pool and beach front loungers. Beach isn't fantastic but you get some great views and the hotel is only a 5 min walk from Saladan Pier. Staff have limited English but were helpful in organising onward travel. Would stay again if needing access to pier.

Not a bad hotel, pools are beautiful. We were there in the low season, lots of staff but they all seem to be on their phone or on the internet. ...looking at youtube. Asked for laundry service the day before we left, was told they needed 24hrs (which they had) but they said they didn't have the staff to do it.....hummm:( housecleaning was great, but rooms need lots of work, even fpr the newest part of the hotel. The beach was dirty which was too bad could be a great place, even in the low season, especially with all the staff. They just sit around on the phones. Very disappointed. Not good wifi....slow and loses connection all the time. Found staff sitting in opened ..empty rooms on their phones ...lol...but couldn't get laundry done at a charge???

Convenient location, needs attention to detail
Hotel was in town not far from the ferry dock, convenient to stores and street food. Tour service was great. When we arrived we were not given the room we reserved and the front desk tried to tell us our room was beach front even though we were in the building that was as far from the beach as you could get, after arguing they moved us the next day. I also requested a room no higher than the second floor and they put us on the third floor no elevator. Housekeeper was nice put our room was not cleaned very well everyday. Breakfast was good. The WiFi was the worst I have ever encountered. The pools were lovely the pool loungers,were in poor shape. The towels were very worn with tattered edges and dingy.The price for room did not reflect quality of service.

Nothing to complain about except the AC didn't always feel like it was working. Got a special surprise by a few monkeys climbing up on to our balcony, which was nice.

Could have been much better with some care
Good location, nice big room with balcony, good breakfast. Needs improvement on some room details, broken towel holder, loose shower holder. Towels and bedding had over-powering smell of laundry detergent, not pleasant for most of the guests. Who wants to smell so much scent on their towels and the bedding. Beach needs some clean up in front of the hotel, broken glass, old cigarette lighters in the sand, saw some hypodermic needles. Pool had way to much chlorine, you could smell it as you walk by it. No manager on duty for full two days (Saturday and Sunday). This could have been much better with little care and better management.

Disappointing hotel for the money
We were excited about this hotel based on the photos, but were disappointed when we arrived. The rooms weren't nearly as nice as they looked online & our room had an open sewage drain the smelled HORRIBLE. We asked the hotel about it and they came once and sprayed air freshener hah. Location is ok...the beach the hotel is on is pretty mediocre...but it's a short drive (5-20 mins) to other nicer beaches. It's very close to the ferry which was convenient. Also very close to lots of shops & restaurants, although it was a pretty touristy. If we went again we'd stay further down the coast. Overall decent hotel, but not worth nearly as much as we paid.

On the Budget.
Just OK. Normal breakfast. Beach a little bit dirty but had amazing sunsets if your keen for some cool photos. If you do snorkeling packs they pick u you up from the beach itself so that was very convenient. It was 5min from the pier and close to all shops.

Nice hotel. Nice place. Staff need training.
Nice, clean affordable hotel beside the river and with oceanfront beach. The beaches down south are nicer, but the pool here is good, and the location is ideal for walking around town and enjoying the bars and restaurants and shops. Very nice, laid back ambiance. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. And the cleaning staff are attentive. Unfortunately the front desk staff seem quite bored with life, and the travel desk lady seems to hate her job. Apparently she resents answering questions about travel. But there are many travel shops in town.

Great pool area!!
We had a 3 day stay in ko lanta so chose this hotel because it was cheapish and close to saladan pier. Overall the hotel was good, with clean rooms, close to the beach and close to saladan shops and restaurants. The pool area was fantastic, great pool, lots of sunbeds and a pool bar. The down sides to this hotel are that the staff spoke little English so it was difficult to communicate and get things done. Also the wifi didn't really work at all. Other than that a more than decent stay here! Would recommend!

Happy with our 3 night stay
This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. We were very happy with our room it was clean and spacious. The hotel staff are all friendly and helpful. The breakfast is basic but there is something for most tastes. It may of got a bit "samey" if we had stayed longer. As for location, Ban Saladan is a busy little place with plenty of good restaurants and markets within walking distance and there is plenty of opportunity to hire mopeds and arrange day trips. Down sides hotel was quiet compared to the last time we stayed. Beach isn't the best on the best on the island, although 100 baht e/w gets a tuk tuk to a good beach.

great location
We stayed in this hotel during our stay in Koh Lanta. The hotel is centrally located to the shops and change places and is walking distance from the pier. The staff is nice and service is reasonable. The breakfast is terrible with not that many options and what they do make isn't good. Theres a restaurant near the hotel a few meters after the 7eleven with cheap prices great food and good service its directly across from Pansa tours (which is also the cheapest tour agency i found)

Nice hotel with some minor issues
Lanta Pura is right next to the beach. As the only hotel in Saladan town that beach is completely yours! We went in low season and it felt very secluded. Beach has really strong waves so not suitable for swimming, but the hotel is working on expanding the resort outward. Felt a bit creepy at night with dim lighting and just 3 families apart from us. Breakfast was served as sets, not sure if this is different during high season. Room floor was very sticky and room generally felt dirty when we first arrived. However staff were obliging and changed sheets and mopped floor though they left a corner of the room unmopped! Bathroom fittings weren't very well maintained so made the room look old and a bit low quality. Otherwise service was very good. You can also rent bikes from the front desk. Lanta Pura offers transfer to the airport for 300baht per pax

1st Time Koh Lanta
The hotel resides in a beautiful location close to Saladan Pier in Lanta. The rooms were clean, staff were few but courteous. We were there during early June, very few tourists besides us were staying at the hotel. Pool was not as clean as I prefer. Breakfast was included and was fair. Perhaps it was because it was the low season, the staff were ......However, I would recommend this hotel as its accommodations are above others we've seen in the area. There is a lovely surf shop around the corner worth visiting, the owners are lovely people (both European).

Beautiful Pool and grounds, lacking atmosphere
We are a 30 year old couple and stayed here for 4 nights. We splurged for the pool access room which was definitely worth it! We were there at the end of April/beginning of May and Lanta gets very quiet at this time of year and it was very evident at this hotel. I think we were one of about six rooms booked. Things they don't tell you: - Breakfast: When it is quiet they put out a smaller buffet but there is the option to order off of a menu for no additional price. It is good to ask about this before you fill a plate with only toast and fruit. - Pool Bar is not always open. We were really disappointed there was a group dinner happening one night and they closed the pool bar at 2 in the afternoon which I respect if they are busy, but all staff just sat on the grass for the next 3 hours waiting for the group dinner to start. - Kitchen Hours: This may only be in low season, but the kitchen closed at 3:00pm. We were going to order a sandwich, but they suggested we head to the 7-11 instead as kitchen had already closed. - Massage on the beach, you never really know when she is going to be there. But it was a great experience.

Good, and bad.
The first experence I had with this hotel was it (unknown to me) showed up in the Phi Phi island search on expedia. This island is more then 1 hour away from Phi Phi, and should not be tagged in the search. After speaking with Expedia, I was informed that the hotels chooses what is tagged on the searches and not expedia. I strongly feel this is the hotel's attempt to get extra buissness for themselves by choosing to do this practice. The Expedia representative attempted to cancel the reservation for me, however the hotel refused to allow it. SO BEWARE, THIS HOTEL IS ON KOH LANTA, NOT PHI PHI ISLAND!!! The rooms were clean and presentable, and the staff for the most part had some knowledge of the English language (but that is Thailand across the board). The only downside to this hotel is the beds are on the very firm side (again that is most of Thailand), and the food was so-so.

The staff at Lanta Pura was so friendly and helpful. The information desk especially was fabulous! It was so convenient being able to book all excursions through the hotel and even get motorbike rentals too! The beaches are much nicer in the South Island, but the convenience of this property was fabulous....you can walk everywhere or easily get a tuk-tuk to bring you to the other end of the island. Our stay was over New Years (the busiest week of the year)...the downfall was that the hotel was at max capacity. You could smell the sewage daily, and also the shower would not drain. However, these were minor downfalls!
