Great beach. Hotel is quite small but overall exceed our expectations. It’s pricey but worth it. The room is very comfy and big. We arrived at 1.30pm for check in but the room wasnt ready and will be delayed past the check in time so the staff let us wait by the restaurant and enjoy the complimentary food or drink. Great service.

Great small boutique style hotel with lots of character and nice friendly staff. Beach bar and restaurant is a huge selling point where you can sit and chill and watch the sunset or enjoy a morning breakfast, and the breakfast itself is expectional!
Not much to do in the local area, some cool bars and nice restaurants but thats just what Koh Lanta is all about!
Went in low season so the place was very very quiet.

We booked a Hill top view bungalow and got one that was close enough to the sea to have a beautiful seaview from our terrace. Inside the bungalow is very cozy, with a nice bed, aircon, wifi, etc.
The hotel has a nice pool but an even nicer private beach where you can snorkel and see some fishes. The breakfast is served in the restaurant with seaview.
