D.R. Lanta Bay Resort

Resort

Great place requires a major revamp… the place is old.

Nice rooms, 2 pools and a clean beach, there's nothing more to want.

My preferred place to stay when at Koh Lanta. A very well maintained resort with nice landscaping, two swimming pools, a good restaurant and right on a beautiful beach. Very friendly owner and good service too.

Ate here twice as a family, we had margarita pizza which was so thick with cheese I questioned if I would have a heart attack. We also tried the massaman curry which was decent, tried the breaded fish, wasn't too great. The chicken nuggets were ok and the fries were oily crinkle chips. Pricing is not the cheapest for the quality of food you recieve. Service was good overall although my second visit I had to specifically request a menu from them. Drinks are way overpriced and small, basically half a glass is ice. After two visits I doubt I will return there again which is unfortunate to say.

Good and cheap beach hotel.

We stay here for 3 days. And I can highly recommend this place. You dont need to go somewhere to eat, because they have restaurant already on the premises. I really love their food, given the chance to meet their chef? I would really grab it. A very good place to stay unwind and relax.

Good quality hotel price, next to the beach, 2 swimming pools, massages, restaurant, nice and spacious bungalows. Bars and restaurants along the beach. Highly recommended.

The resort was awesome and more than my expectation. Worth the money I spent there. The room was very big and clean and so was the bathroom. Since the resort is located right at the beach (Klong Dao Beach) It's a very long and beautiful white beach. Highly recommended to stay here. There are 2 swimming pools and you can use both. The resort has a restaurant too. There are also other restaurants near the resort. Day trips are also available at the travel desk. The pictures you see on the websites are real and the resort is the same what you see in the pictures. It's a very enormous property and very cool place.

Koh Lanta itself is not too bad (as far as the islands go) but the hospitality is horrendous and this place charges a fortune to treat you like they couldn't care less. At almost $200 a night they denied us an extra room key for our bungalow that sleeps two couples. One room key to share to open the door and also keep the A/C and mini fridge running. The property is beautiful and the beach is fine and not over crowded. The bungalows are not terrible for the area but would rate around a 2 star at a fraction of the cost in the states. If you're ok with the filth of Thailand, love food poisoning, and throwing money away at every turn, maybe it would be a 3 star. We complained about the rotten shrimp they served in our Pad Thai dish and they told us to stop complaining and be quiet because of the other guests that were still eating and unaware they may wake with debilitating diarrhea and vomiting later. After a month in the region, I personally will not come back to Thailand based on the misrepresentation of what it was. Beautiful beaches with terrible accommodations and open sewage lines everywhere. Oh, the smell. If you must still come here, know that you don't always "get what you pay for" and the great reviews come from all over the world. Not everybody has the same expectations. If you are from the USA, hot water, toilet paper, and clean food are above and beyond what money can buy in many places.

Oh top at 5min from the port and the city center hotel bungalow has something to put on the beach beach is very large, and very large with a boiling water and a swimming pool to be crowned the ideal place for that relaxing family atmosphere and very clean and breakfast sufficient.

A beautiful place at the beach. Two swimming pools and nice staff. It's a great place for families with children, but maybe a little bit noisy at the pool for singles and couples. Clean and nice bungalows. Good value for money.

Its a nice place just by the beach. We had a bungalow that is clean and spacious. Breakfast is ok with a bit limited variety of bread and add ons but you can get fried eggs eyc. Pools are fresh and clean and personell is friendly and helpful.

Great New Years buffet, with fire show and Thai dance. Big plus that the staff had party also. Best atmosphere ever. Really fun party. Breakfast some week ago really good, bit expensive but it comes with a great view. We have stayed at the hotel twice and really like it eventhogh we choose other place for our long stay. Food is good and comes at a good price. Staff if friendly and helpful. I really recommend hotel and restaurant. The pools are great for kids and big kids as me.

Perfect location with delicious foods.

Ideal place for those peoples who want relax near pool or at beach. The sea is nice but the bottom is full of alluvium like pieces of wood. The sand is full of little crabs.
