I really appreciated the access to the beach. And the staff is so warm and helpful.
There was a strange smell in the restroom. We asked them to use fresheners but it didn’t help. So that could improve.

Old and need renovation, poor breakfast, not much choice and most is cold, food poisoning

Great sized room and balcony, nice staff that let us extend the stay. A choice of 2 nice swimming pools that were never too busy (we went in November)
No major complaints, staff dropped laundry in our room when we were gone which was a little uncomfortable for us although we realise they were trying to be kind

Nothing too much
We stayed at D.R. Lanta Bay Resort and were extremely disappointed with the experience. The resort was completely deserted and quiet. There were no dining options available on site, nor was there any possibility to purchase food or drinks, which made the stay highly inconvenient, especially with children. The grounds were poorly maintained, with rubbish and debris scattered around, giving the whole place an abandoned feel.
Although we were given a room upgrade, this did not make up for the fact that the resort clearly should not have been accepting bookings in its current state. The management was fully aware that we had booked for seven nights (where we only stayed 1 night because we didn’t want to ruin our holiday) and that we were traveling with children, yet at no point were we informed that there would be no other guests and no/minimal services available. This lack of transparency was very disappointing and made the stay dull and frustrating especially for the kids
Overall, this resort should not be open for business under these conditions. Guests deserve honesty, proper facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, none of which we experienced here. I strongly recommend avoiding this resort until serious improvements are made.

Room was comfortable
Resort was quiet. I think we were one of only 2 guests!
Resort was advertised as having 1 restaurant. This was actually closed. We could not buy anything from the resort. Reception closed at 6PM
Landscaping was basic and unkempt
Had to walk past slums with rubbish everywhere, to get from resort to main road
Mixer for shower was locked in 1 position. Could not control water flow. Even HWS on high, water was just hot enough.
Could not leave door open. Insects everywhere. Insect screens would help.

Loved the location with beach access. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room and grounds were clean and peaceful.
The walk in shower is small. Because there is no door we had to put towels down for over spray.

Mr. Phee was the absolute best hotel manager you can think of. Super friendly and always ready to help us with anything. Because of low season we had the whole resort for our selves
There were a lot of mosquitoes. Really really lot of mosquitoes. Not strange cause we were traveling during rain season. Koh Lanta felt like a deserted island, with lots of shops, restaurants al hotels and hotels closed.

Great location, very friendly staff, great room, super breakfast.
One pool wasn’t open and the other had algae in it. Not a problem for me but if you have young kids it might be.

Great Villa very close to the beach. The resort restaurant was really good though the service a bit slow. Absolutely stunning beach and sunsets directly in front of the resort. The hotel eating and drinking facilities close early (1700 if I remember correctly) however there are many bars and restaurants a very short walk away. Massage in the hotel was good and right next to the beach.
I think the resort suffered a bit during cover and could do with an upgrade.

Location, spacious bungalow, clean, nice and kind staff.
Missing moskito nets on windows and missing blinds on outer side of windows.
It was very hot in the bungalow, despite air condition runinng whole day. Reason was in big glass windows, which were on the sunny side (sea view) of house and therefore very hot all the time. It could be much more comfortable, if there were somekind of blinds on outer side. You can see the window on photo.
We had bugalow next to the beach, we could be listening to the waves at the night, but that was not possible, because moskitos (and problably some other bugs) would eat us alive. Same window. 😉

This is a great place for families with children. Perfectly located directly on the beach with two nice pool areas. My bungalow was very spacious.
The facilities are a bit rundown but renovations have started so I guess this will be addressed soon.

The property is very reasonable price. Have nice pools and specious rooms.
The lady from reception was very helpful.
We stayed only 1 night. We realised quite late (at 8pm ) that the shower does not have hot water . There was no one at reception so by booking com
we asked for the issue to get sorted. Someone came and said that the shower is broken , but we have not been offered another room . ( the room was booked for 1 adult and 2 children 8 & 12 years old)

Great resort perfect for me. Big room, two showers one cold, one electric heated. Breakfast was acceptable considering we are in the Covid crises and very few forign tourist. Owner manager very very helpful. I will be returning next month hopefully.

Two pools in different places is good; one for the kids and one for the relaxation.
Wifi was good
Athmosphere was pleasant.
Breakfast was ok but dinner at the restaurant was not so good. Also some of the staff looked very unsatisfied.

Le personnel est vraiment adorable, l'emplacement sur la plage est top avec plein de restaurants et bar à proximité. La piscine a débordement est vraiment agréable.
Le matelas est vraiment très dur et la douche pas pratique.

Solstolskriget.
För att få solstol fick man sitta på stolen kl 7 på morgonen. Köp in 15-20 solstolar så ordnar det sig.

L'hotel est idéalement bien situé ! sur la plage. il y a 2 piscines avec transats, dont 1 face à la plage.
L'endroit est aussi parfait pour ceux qui souhaitent bouger un peu à pieds car proche des petits commerces et des restaurants hors hotels. Nous avons réservé des scooters avec l'hotel , vraiment très bien! je recommande
