Lanta Sand Resort & Spa

Comfortable and spacious rooms at a nice resort right on a nice area of the beach. No major complaints aside from the loud music from beach bars and stinky toilet smells in my room.

Just a heads up if you are planning to book an ocean front room the music, noises and level of privacy are not great. Might not be worth the upgrade if you want privacy and quiet.

Passed much nicer looking resorts on the beach that I wish I stayed at for this price or less. Either way the service and staff were great. I didn’t eat at the restaurant as it was extremely expensive, including the bar. Didn’t get to enjoy the pools at all since the set up was awkward and felt off limits. Tons of kids and families staying here.

Loved the lounge area on the beach. This was the highlight for me but would book a different hotel next time.

Had the best time here. Right next to the beach and the rooms are so nice and spacious.

Also the staff made such an effort for my birthday. With special messages on my bed and a floating breakfast. Top.notch hotel

Nice Resort with clean facilities and restaurant right by the beach.

We had to change the room 3 times, which was not now we wanted to start our vacation. But for making up we had a lot of 50% coupons for the bar.
You can tell that the rooms have been renovated recently, but you also realize that they must have been in bad shape before. We had a bad smell in the bathroom which got better when turning on the AC.

Wisinee was our superstar during the trip and helped us organize our tours and transportation. Sweetest soul of the whole team.
Massages were great too and you can rent scooters directly at the Hotel.
Only thing that we didn’t like was the gym. Both bikes and the treadmill were not working.

A really lovely surprise to find during low season on the island! The property feels like a jungle oasis, the rooms are a good size with a king bed and ours had a small plunge pool and outdoor shower, which was a welcome relief in the heat! During low season a lot of the bars and restaurants along the beach are closed, but this resort has a wonderful bar area with large lounge chairs to sit and watch the sunset. A thank you to the staff, especially the lovely women at the information desk who gave us plenty of advice and could help book trips. Also, loved being a short walk from Spring Rolls Restaurant which has a great vegetarian Thai menu!

Pro: The massage lady call Norm was the best massage person I ever had. There was a moment I thought I was in heaven (not smoking weed). I will come back just for the massage. Villa with plunge pool was nice, breakfast was decent, staff was nice. nice gym. Island have cheaper shops compare with other tourist places.
Con: We also stayed in the family room in the apartment. The design is very poor and whole room was so wet with constant noise of the water even when it's not raining. Everything felt very wet and uncomfortable specially in wet season. We also had phone ringing at 3 am twice to wake us up. Not sure if phone malfunction or prank calls. Because its the wet season, waves at long beach is very high, hard to swim. and lots of rubbish get washed up, not as clean beach compare with other island I have been on. I saw avoid the rooms in the apartment complex.

I love this place so much. It was such a steal price I got it at S$99 for 4D3N. The rooms were exactly as the photos. The resort was well maintained. The staff was lovely. They greeted you everytime! They were so helpful and kind.

I’d like to mentioned I lost my bag upon waiting to check in, however the staff were so swift in providing assistance I got my bag back within 2hrs because a driver accidentally took it. They were so apologetic about it and assured I was going to get my items back. Prior to my return, my pick up bus was late than stipulated timing, they were kind enough to offer to call the driver for me. Super super kind people.

However, around the vicinity if you do not ride a scooter can be a challenge to get around. But the hotel offers rental & packages for island hopping etc. I went around mid July — per the staff it’s low season so prices are generally low however due to that current may be bad to swim + shops are closed.

However still have ample of cafes around that’s quite walkable albeit the dark road at night.

Nevertheless the resort was a lovely place the beach bed and the vibes were immaculate. The room with plunge pool was very well maintained and clean.

Point to note the shower inside pressure isn’t as strong but the outdoor shower works fine. Still very private.

Can’t explain how much I love this place. Hope I’d have an opportunity to come back.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Very kind.
We stayed in the villas. They were lovely and had everything we could have wanted.
The pool was murky and we didn't enjoy going in it. It didn't look clean at all.
The hotel is right on the beach. Excellent location for the sea.
The cafe was basic but had what we needed. We didn't have breakfast so cannot comment.
All in all we enjoyed a few days here.

I loved this resort. It's modern, clean, with great amenities. Beach chairs are kept in great condition. There are two pools close to the beach. Villas with plunge pools are a great choice for a family.

The breakfast buffet was wonderful, and all lunches and dinners off the menu tasted great as well. I loved getting lemongrass chicken wings every day.

The only disappointing part for me was that the massage quality wasn't consistent.

Loved my time here. Stayed on my own for a few nights and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The location is perfect and directly on the beach!
