Vacation Village Phra Nang Lanta

Superb location and large rooms with excellent views.

Gardens and pool area seemed to be a bit neglected and management and staff very "laid back". We had problems with the hot water as the shower only worked intermittently and the electrician had to be regularly called.

The hotel is on the best beach on Koh Lanta, but the beach right in front of the hotel is very rocky, esp at low tide and there are many long-tailed boats right in front. However, if you walk just a little bit south on the beach, the sand and water are very very nice. There is music from the bar next door until about midnight, but it is nice music and after the first night, it didn't bother us. The rooms are good size, but in the bathroom, the shower has no curtain and water sprayed out to make the whole bathroom floor wet. Also, the drainage in the shower was no good. But keep in mind, all of the rooms are different, so I don't know if all the showers are the same. Free internet. Breakfast was adequate with "egg corner".

Actually, we had a very nice stay. Other than the shower issue, we would consider staying there again. The staff are very nice and very friendly.
