Coming from a non-touristic area, i found the area overall too touristic and over-priced, built up for the Westerns. Nothing wrong with the hotel though. Very clean, friendly staff, good breakfast, wonderful pool. Altogether a great place to stay with a toddler. I thought the restaurant was over-priced for the quality, but my neighbor was happy with both quality and price.. plenty other restaurants in the area. We booked one night and stayed over a week. There’s a shop and massage on the premises.

Right on beach. Bathrooms a little small AND NO KETTLE to make coffee. Also, NO AC in our rooms

It was probably the worst room. Not worth the money we paid.

Absolutely beautiful little place by the sea, 30 minutes walk from the jetty and night market, good wifi, clean rooms, big balcony. Only regret was that we didn't pay extra for the A/C, rooms get really hot.

Well, the location is good. Very near to the beach. But I find the room is not that clean. I think they didn't change the bedsheets...

Perfect location, nice rooms, big balcony with ocean view. But the hardest beds I´ve ever got in Thailand, and no blanket, only sheet.

Quiet area, great beach for walking and swimming, lots of restaurant to chose from.

The facilities and location os what attracted us to this hotel and it didn't disappoint. The staff are so friendly the only downside was our room was hotter than it was outside we spent most of the time on the balcony, I would of slept out there had it not over looked 2 other rooms. Thank you

We were very happy with out stay here and actually ended up staying a few more nights than planned. Staff were friendly and very helpful. For the price we paid for staying here we positively surprised how nice the rooms and recreation area were.

Nice hotel at the beach with nice infinity pool. Trendly staff. The room was spacy, but a little bit shabby. We could not turn off AC, so there was quite cold at night.

Stayed in a Standard and Beach Room at Lanta Garden Hotel. Not much difference except the proximity to beach and pool. Pool always full of guests. This is a beach side town where mostly Swedish/European families and couples come to have their beach side holiday. There are very swanky hotels with modern architecture, Costa Lanta looks sublime. There are also resorts and small hotels like ours. All varieties. Our hotel, Lanta Garden Hotel was good value. Full of lovely families and children of all ages having a great time. It is a spirited and happy atmosphere. Reminiscent of Byron Bay 30-40 years ago. There is no starbucks, only family run village restaurants and many bars on the beach. We did a cooking course, which was great fun. Also diving, scuba and fishing available. Klong Dao is more middle market, a long swathe of a beach reminiscent to those in Australia with refreshing water and clean sand. Further down is Long beach its more hut like accomm in small camps onto the beaches and very rustic. Our hotel was run by lovely, friendly and helpful muslim women with fantastic senses of humour. There is a beach massage hut by the pool with friendly and happy Thai girls, who provide great facials and massages. I had a massage every day…and i've never had them before. Very chilled and very relaxed. FAR from the madding crowd. You will be reluctant to leave.
