I have stayed many times at this fantastic resort. It's a great little charming place full of life and character. By day it's a charming rustic resort with cheaper fan rooms and posher air con rooms, by night it looks wonderful all softly lit up and peaceful.
The owners nick and melllisa are very honest genuine people and will do their best to make your stay as pleasant as possible. A very personal greeting at breakfast from her makes this all the more an enjoyable stay. Hey husband nick runs the bar daily from 4-7pm and it's a great social time to meet new and regular people. Nick is only too happy to take a beer out of the fridge and pop the top off for you, for no extra charge.
The rooms are great and every year they are improving with little added extras. All rooms have a fridge, fantastic laundry service (usually same day return). I personally prefer the fan rooms as they have a hammok. But some would prefer the air con rooms for obvious reasons.
You have to be aware that due to its location in gardens, like many places here on lanta you can get bugs in your bathroom. They are harmless, rare and won't affect your stay. This makes it all the more charming in my opinion to see a gecko in the bathroom.
The staff in the hotel are fantastic and will look after your every need. For the price you pay you really couldn't ask for more here! Would prefer to stay here than a 5 star resort anyday, you can't buy atmosphere of this kind!
Update: the resort now has a different owner and despite it was very upsetting to see nick and Meliisa go due to the pandemic, I had the pleasure of getting to know Oscar the new owner and his lovely family on my last visit. I am confident without a doubt he is gonna continue what the previous owners worked so hard to build up and preserve and continue to work on this wonderful resort. I will be back soon for sure!
