Hana Lanta Resort

The place is clean and quiet. The location is good and the pool is ideally for its patrons. Rooms are big, clean and comfy.

The rest doesn't operate and pool needs to be cleaned and treated daily.

Staff was wonderful. Great location. Comfortable bed. Nice pool. Quiet. Great shell hunting.

Giant bug in my room, know that couldn't be helped.

Don't expect any luxuries, just a simple, comfortable and clean accommodation with everything you need. The swimming pool is a nice add-on, especially if you don't want to get sun-burned since the beach nearby doesn't have many shadows. We stayed for 2 nights and didn't have breakfast included, so we went to Friend House which is nearby (3–4 minutes walking), and has great cheap food. We didn't ask to have our room cleaned, but they still left 1 toilet paper roll and 2 bottles of water on our room entry, which was a nice touch. All employees were nice and they even called a tuktuk to take us to the boat pier for 200baht, paid directly to the driver.

The beach nearby doesn't seem to be the best, having some litter here and there. Also, the corals are all dead, but that seems to be the reality for the region (excessive fishing showing its consequences). However, we didn't try other beaches in the island. We didn't have issues with the mosque noise in the morning (you hear it but it's not really that loud, and once you're tired from the trip I guess you just sleep anyway). The walls seem to be paper thin though, since we heard the guy on the next room heavily breathing/snoring at night. Prices are a bit high for Thailand.
