The hotel was amazing. The room view was exceptional and something that we can never forget. Staff were super helpful with everything and really cared for our safety. We will definitely be returning back here whenever we are back in Lanta.
United KingdomThe staff and owner couldn’t have been more helpful. We enjoyed all the facilities and local area. Amazing breakfast!
United KingdomThe view! Absolute unique selling point for this little hotel. I recommend taking the suite so you have the best possible place to watch the sunset. Staff and beyond to help you. We had to leave at 5AM and they prepared a breakfast box for us so we wouldn't be hungry.
NetherlandsThe room had a million dollar view and breakfast consisted of many options and was delicous! The staff were personal and went out of their way to accomodate you, i.e. they offered you a glass of water when you were in the pool, they remembered the way you liked your coffee or how you liked your room. Truly wonderful people.
BelgiumThe care and attention afforded by Eric and the entire Houben team was second to none. Beautiful room overlooking the ocean (as they all are), very good choice for breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff all the way. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back soon. Thanks All ❤️
United KingdomPool was red. Never seen that before. The View is excellent. We could see the sun setting. We didn't have the breakfast we were too busy exploring. We managed to rent a scooter just a 2 minute walk away and went to lots of the beaches. I recommend renting a scooter then turning right when leaving the property and going straight to the lighthouse at the end of the road then go to all the beaches on the way back up. Lots of exploring necessary and you're well rewarded. The food up the road at the Rock restaurant was incredible. Pad See Ew with egg noodles was insanely good.
United Arab EmiratesSuperb place. Very good personnel always help you or recommend for you. Very good cocktails in bar and very delicious breakfast. In evening time also working restaurant there with good choice and delicious meals. Pool and Jacuzzi a very good. The room are very spacy with big soft bed. The best thing in this hotel is a view.
