Reviews of hotels in Koh Lanta in the price range and area we were looking at all seemed quite similar, so I wasn't expecting much and it met my expectations. Room were basically furnished, power only worked when you had the key in the holder, so room was stuffy and hot after you had been out for a while. Got a few bugs in the bathroom also (through the extractor fan I think) so we had to keep door closed. We had a back balcony but sign on the door said out of order?!
We were in room 104, towards front of resort. This used to be called the Lanta Garden Hill resort, and I went for a walkabout and up the hill it keeps going and there seem to be some refurbishment on many of the back units, and also another pool. We didn't use it though as the walk there was up a steep hill and would have gotten all sweaty getting back :)
Pool could do with a paint and some nicer/newer furniture, it had a good amount of shade though, and pool was nice to use (previous hotel had a warm pool).
We hired scooters for 200BHT/day, that was good and easy. Breakfast was disappointing, coffee wasn't great, often things ran out and you had to wait for ages before the one random person topped up with a few more eggs etc, one day there was no milk for the cereal. But lots of other options close by. About a 4-5min walk to beach next to 7-Eleven.
Also hung washing out on the balcony and got asked to remove it. Not sure why. Restaurant The Grill onsite, but we didn't try.
