Royal Lanta Resort & Spa

Royal Lanta was a fabulous place to stay due to its beachfront position, large room and great breakfast.

Good rooms next to the beach. Near local amenities.

Nice decent bedroom,cleanand tidy. good location near the beach. Also close to restaurants.

Stunning hotel on a beautiful beach. I loved it so much that I extended my stay an extra night.

It wa ok

Massage was really good Beach was nice Breakfast was good Property needed to be kept up and maintain Booked for 3 nights ans notified the property that we we delayed due to the war in Dubai and they did nothing to accommodate, no refund the night or offered another night.

The Royal Lanta is a wonderful resort with friendly staff, beautiful lush green grounds and gardens and is beachfront. The breakfast was great and served at the beachside restaurant. The location was also great and walking distance to other restaurants and the main road where there were convenient stores. The vibe was calm but lively. We really enjoyed our stay there!

Nice room Good location Beach near Some parts of the hotel are run down outside Lack of sun beds by the pool

The grounds around the reception area had an unbearable stench of sewage. My room was at the back of the property where the grounds were in complete disrepair, with garbage, broken boards on the deck and broken pathways. The villas at the front of the property closer to the beach looked lovely from the outside and the property was better maintained there. My room was also in disrepair. The chain lock on the door was torn off and there was only a button lock on the doorknob so I had to go to reception to ask them to fix it (because there are no phones in the room) which they did quickly. The tea kettle also didn’t work, they sent a new one which also didn’t work. The walls were scuffed and dirty. The reception staff were The pool tiles were dirty. The lounge chairs by the beach which were very few so guests would put their towels out at 7 am to get a spot - they were falling apart, ripped and dirty cushions, and the staff removed the cushions at night but guests had to re-assemble them in the morning. There’s a bar/restaurant next to the beach/pool, but no service at all. Positives: reception staff are very sweet; beach location is great.

Staff very friendly and polite and one person especially was Gerard on reception Was ver good and went that extra Also Kane and fa waiters in restaurant Thanks for looking after me and my wife Kind regards Stuart & Ann Thornton ( England)

Very friendly staff and amazing service, large room very comfortable and great breakfast. Access to the long beach with many options for dinner, massages and transferts on site.

The staff were fantastic, great location, excellent breakfast!

Nut the general manager was nice and quickly solved our room problem. Overall, we enjoyed our stay

Room was a bit outdated but location was perfect. It was right on the beach and plenty of dining options nearby

The room (1102) was infested with cockroaches and lizards!!! I stayed here for 3 nights, and only discovered the cockroaches and lizards on my last night around 1:00 am. I never saw the lizards, but I kept finding little brown pellets on top of my bed. I brought the pellets to the front desk and they told me that it was lizard feces. I found at least 5 lizard poops in my bed, and asked the housekeeping to change the sheets 3 times (which she did). As soon as I was finally in bed, I found the first cockroach near the bed. I didn’t want the cockroaches to lay eggs in my luggage or take them home as a souvenir, so I immediately went to look for staff to help. There were absolutely no staff on the property. I packed up my things and left at 2:00 am, hoping that a nearby hotel would have vacancy and staff to help me. All hotels in the area had no staff at night. Not wanting to go back to the cockroach and feces infested room, I spent my night wandering around the dark town searching for a new hotel, with about 100 lbs of luggage on my back and as a solo female traveller, which could’ve been very dangerous. On top of the pests, there was a huge issue with black mold and mildew in the bathroom and the rest of the room. It was one of those dirty showers where I felt the need to wear flip flops to avoid contracting a fungus. Literally nothing in the room was clean to an average standard. I’ve been to over 100 hotels in my life, and this has to have been the most unhygienic I’ve seen

Expectation vs reality is VERY different in this hotel. Clearly, this was a nice play 15 years ago but now, it’s run-down and unclean without many facilities. The photos have clearly been adjusted, the pool has 3 plastic chairs around it whilst the pool by the ocean had a few more but were all “reserved” by 9am.. The decking around the hotel is broken and falling into the water in places and it’s clear many rooms & buildings are so dilapidated they are now closed. The breakfast is not like the photos, the staff are friendly but the restaurant is unclean and many items are empty and they don’t replace. The metal trays where the food go haven’t been cleaned in a long time, filthy. The beds are very firm so be aware if you like a soft bed. The air conditioning works well and there was always plenty of water in the room.

Beach, location

Clean room, nice staff, good amenities, good location, beautiful property.

It was nice, clean, convenient
