3-Star Hotels in Koh Lanta

Upon arrival at Lanta Triple Novel, we were warmly greeted by the owner, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. His hospitality truly made us feel at home, assisting us with everything we needed. We stayed in the bungalows, which were spacious and well-equipped. There was a clothes drying rack inside and another on the porch—this was the first hotel where we had ample space to dry our clothes. The porch was furnished with plastic chairs and a table, perfect for relaxing outdoors. The bungalow featured a small kitchenette accessible from the porch through a side door, which is convenient if you're planning a longer stay. Inside, there was a small plastic wardrobe for storing clothes and a mini-fridge. The only thing missing was a table and two chairs inside the room, which would have added to the comfort. The air conditioning was strong and kept the room cool. The location was very quiet, allowing us to rest peacefully. The only minor inconvenience was during heavy rain when the metal roof became quite loud. We rented a scooter from the owner at a decent price, making it easy to explore the island. Although there's a restaurant as part of the hotel, we didn't have the time to dine there. Originally, we planned to stay for three days but ended up extending our stay to four because we enjoyed it so much. The location is perfect—it's close to the beach, and there's a 7-Eleven just around the corner where you can get everything you need for your stay. It's a 4-minute drive to Saladan Pier, so you'll have an easy time catching ferries or speedboats for further travel. Overall, our experience at Lanta Triple Novel was excellent. The friendly owner, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location made our stay memorable.

I had an amazing stay at the brand-new Phumala Lanta Seaview Resort! The bungalows are unique, built on stilts amidst lush greenery, with a magical view over the treetops and the coast. Staying here feels like being in a small fairytale, with comfortable beds, modern air conditioning, and a lovely terrace featuring both a bathtub and sun loungers. Between the bungalows, charming lighting in the trees creates a special and cozy atmosphere in the evenings. If any challenges arise, the staff and owner are incredibly attentive and resolve everything quickly and efficiently. The service is truly top-notch! The resort is just a 5-7 minute walk from a beautiful and peaceful beach, and shops and restaurants are also nearby. Across the road, Pad Thai Rock n Roll serves absolutely amazing food, and their staff is incredibly friendly – a must-visit during your stay. I enjoyed my stay so much that I extended it from four to nine nights. Note that the hotel shares its reception with Bakantiang Resort, so make sure to mention this to your taxi driver to find the correct location. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Gecko! Any mentions for improvements below are simply suggestions and is highly recommend anyone to stay here It's in a great location, nearby to high quality local restaurants, a large shop with food, drink, toiletries but still tucked away in its own little world. There are several communal seating areas with communal board games (Azul, cards) and books to use during your stay. The bed was big and comfortable, there was lots of space with two seating areas with tables, one inside our room and one outside. We were only provided with a sheet to sleep, rather than a quilt/duvet which was fine for us but some people might not like that. A choice would have been nice I love the ”eco” feel - toiletries provided are great quality and environmentally friendly, instead of daily plastic single use bottles for water, a glass bottle with a water dispenser at reception is provided. Breakfast is generously portioned and freshly cooked. Some more options for vegans would be nice (my partner just had toast and jam everyday) such as tofu scramble, peanut butter or non-dairy yoghurt. The coffee served at breakfast is delicious, unlike most hotels you can pick from cappuccino, latte etc that's made fresh with a proper coffee machine. That was a really nice touch that we enjoyed. The bathroom was nicely decorated and was modern. My only suggestions for improvements would be there are a lot of lights which made it hard to sleep without an eye mask (the sockets emit lights and we couldn't turn the Aircon display off), and the bathroom has a window with no blind/curtain so the bathroom door needed to be closed. Also there are small gaps around the front door meaning we often had small visitors to our room (geckos, millipedes etc). But overall this didn't affect our stay and are very easy fixes. Also a dimmer switch on the very bright bedside lamp would be nice.

The house is clean, the bedding is comfortable, the boss is very attentive, attentive, and the recommendations are very good. The facilities need to be improved. There is no hair dryer and hot water bottle. It has to be given. It feels too strange. Is there still no hair dryer for washing my hair? Why bother? The deposit of 1000 is also strange. I stayed in 6 hotels throughout the whole process, the only hotel that received a deposit. It may be the peak season relationship, Trip.com reservation, 8 Chairman Mao for one night, expensive, does not match the facilities, I feel that 4, 5 are OK.

There were so many mosquitoes in the room that we couldn't even swat them, so we had to buy mosquito swatters and lemongrass from Big C!! And the room had a strong pungent smell. The staff informed us that when cleaning, they would use food deodorizer from the guests. The pungent smell was so strong that we couldn't sleep!! The area where the hotel had breakfast, there were so many mosquitoes. While eating, many guests had to keep swatting mosquitoes on their arms and legs. But what we saw was that the staff didn't offer mosquito repellent to other guests. My partner and I sprayed a lot, but the mosquitoes still found a blind spot to bite us!!! Some of the breakfast was set up without anything special, such as bread, sandwiches, and desserts. We saw flies land on the food, and the staff didn't try to help chase them away!!!! We booked 2 rooms, paid for them, but stayed only 1 room and then checked out because we weren't happy with our stay at all. We had to worry about mosquitoes in the bedroom and while eating. The pungent smell didn't fade even after 1 room!!! It was such a terrible experience that we didn't want to endure it. Willing to forfeit the cost of one night's accommodation

I loved my stay at Moonlight! The lady at reception was so sweet and helpful, the room & pool were lovely, and I personally loved exploring the abandoned areas of the hotel (tip - if you go through the *slightly creepy* derelict area you get the most beautiful private beach to yourself!!). It's more like a serviced apartment than a hotel so manage your expectations, but that was perfect for me

We stayed here in what was the peak season…many resorts and hotels were sold out in Ko Lanta. The staff are all friendly and genuinely will help and be kind if you are respectful and kind too. The location is perfect. Right in front of the beach and close to cafes, restaurants and local eateries as well as 7/11. The hotel itself has so much potential but it is looking very tired and run down. We stayed in a room that should have had a pool view but all we saw was trees. The room did smell a bit musty at first but this soon disappeared with the smell of sunscreen, and personal fragrances. Previous reviews people wrote about the old, musty towels. This is true. They smell musty, old and are tired looking (bring your own if you can). The beach loungers in front of the pool were perfect each day but it’s a real hit and miss game of who can “bags” a lounger first. Many tourist staying at the hotel would place their towels on the loungers first thing in the morning and wouldn’t even be seen on the loungers until after lunch. In my opinion, the hotel staff need to change this and man it in a different way during peak season. Too many entitled people thinking they own the sun loungers because their shoes were placed next to them 🙄🙄 Overall, if you’re looking for somewhere to rest your head at night, with hot showers, friendly staff, okay breakfast options and mostly clean premises this resort is good. If your more of a person who prefers to spend time inside their resort and looks forward to all the extra amenities then I suggest you try somewhere else 😬

The location of the hotel is very good, right on the beach. The handsome guy at the front desk is very enthusiastic. He booked a room connected to the pool. You can play in the pool by opening the balcony. The BBQ and dinner are very delicious in the evening. I ate dinner on the beach for several nights. ,very happy. Both the elderly and children like it very much. It's a good time to watch the sunset, and the price-performance ratio is very high, which meets everyone's wishes.

Best place we've been in Thailand. Everything perfect. Totally peaceful to wake up in front of the sea, to have a private beach just in front of your room, a swimming pool that face on the sea. Absolutely the best place. Everything clean, hot water in the room, air conditioner, etc etc. Above all, the staff. Kind, professional, super available to find the right solution for your need

A very pleasant hotel thanks to its beachfront location and the pool right across the street. The hosts are incredibly attentive; don't hesitate to ask them for anything you need. The food was good, but the value for money was a little below what you can find on the street just a few minutes' walk away.
