Lanta Sand Resort and Spa Krabi

Overall hotel is very lovely, super clean and peaceful. We booked room with a pool access and didn’t like it at all. Everything was so worn out, shiny tiles on the floor made it look dirty all the time. Acoustics was horrible. Above us was an Asian family…… felt like 10 people there, they were screaming, laughing, running in the room until the late night and you can hear absolutely all! And the worst thing was a lot of insects on our bed - dead and alive, flying, scrolling. So first night was a nightmare….. but we managed to change it for a bungalow and it was absolutely lovely. Nice design, silent, very clean, no insects inside. Food in the hotel restaurant is not the best. First evening we had there fried fish, they brought it fully covered in ketchup. One of the waitresses recognized Slav face in me and was constantly trying to speak in broken Russian with me and my husband, even after we said I am Ukrainian and my husband is Turkish, he doesn’t understand Russian and I don’t want to hear it. So we never ate there again. But breakfast was very nice, not very wide variety, but all super fresh. absolutely lovely egg station. Somehow they manage to cook each type of eggs in the very delicious way. Few words about beach and island itself. We traveled in the beginning of June and I was searching a lot of about life and activities on the island before coming….. couldn’t find much, so was relying on google maps showing a lot of bars and restaurants around. So, it is pretty frustrating, absolutely everything closed because it is a rain season. Beach looks very abandoned, only few hotels work, all other places look like people left in hurry and didn’t care about anything. In the storm beach is full of sharp glass and other trash and no one cleans it. You need to watch your step all the time. But I can imagine in the season and good weather it must be a very nice wide and still silent beach to walk. Nature is absolutely crazy, so many birds, lizards, snakes and other living things even on the territory of the hotel. Also they are taking care about two lovely cats, so we were constantly buying them some treats and wet food.

Great place on beach, plunge pool villa was big large fridge and private, less than 100m from beach. Great breakfast, egg station, bacon. Beach bars had good prices and good food. Walk to road about 10mins, minimart on main road for beers, ice, snacks. Staff were great. We got an awesome off season price

Good hotel, if you pay the right price. Pros- pool, large clean room, cons bed a bit hard and plunge pool a bit pointless.

Rooms close to lobby are old and walls are like paper, you can hear everything happening in the next room. Better to book villas, they are all very nice, especially the ones close to the beach.

Great stay

Great location and an access direct to the beach which is very secluded and awesome. The staff were great, just next time hopefully there is insurance for the motorbike rentals. Overall great stay and would highly recommend. Would definitely come back next time.
