Absolutely loved it! We stayed elsewhere on the island and it wasn't anything as good as this!The views and the huge balconies are amazing with lovely sunbeds to sit on and drink your morning coffee.You're not far from Bakantiang bay a decent enough beach and there are a few beaches either side.It's a great place, most importantly Yob the man on reception was an incredible helpful host - he secured us motorbikes, taxis and ensured people didn't rip us off. He was very kind, the lady who works at Bakantiang is also lovely and bought us a bag of local mini mangos to eat (they were delicious!)We absolutely loved Bakantiang Resort and it's definitely one of the best places - if not, the best in Koh Lanta.Just a heads up, we've stayed in Ko Lanta a few times and there wasn't an accommodation at this great value for money. There is 7/11 in walking distance and the restaurants around it (albeit expensive - it's a kampung for crying out loud) are great.My recommendation for restaurants nearby is A La Carte, the Thai food is absolutely fantastic there and it's very good value compared to other restaurants in the area.If you're vegetarian, everywhere offers tofu - you just need to ask and they'll substitute it.Have a great time and cheers Yob!

Clean and comfortable rooms. The place does not have a resort vibe (at least not in low season) - there is no restaurant and pool is average, but the rooms itself are well managed and clean, and it is a good value for the price.Kantiang Beach is five min scooter right away, and there are many restaurant options nearby too.The best part of our stay was the receptionist Raouf, who was extremely friendly, and helped us a lot with scooter rental and airport minivan transfer (at fair prices), and gave us plenty of wonderful tips about the island. Thank you very much Raouf for the warm welcome!

Very nice! Access is by stairs. 30, 50 steps to the room? When we were there, at Christmas 2023, there was no possibility of having breakfast or lunch. You can walk to restaurants, etc. They were very kind. Clean, comfortable and quiet. I would repeat.

Great rooms but felt abit of a forgotten resort. The part of the island is nice though. Not much shade at the swimming pool and a few ancient chairs/mattresses available. The beach is luckily just 5 min walking distance.

Beautiful, green bungalow complex located on a hillside with sea views. Pool is nice and big. The bungalows on the street in the first row are a bit noisy - but it's still okay. After 2 nights we were able to move to a higher location because the WiFi reception wasn't that good here either. Initial defects (TV didn't work) were listened to and immediately remedied. Everything was very, very clean and modern, large rooms with bathrobes and enough towels. Beautiful beach within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. We extended our stay there again because we liked it. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine. Booking on site at reception is even cheaper than via Booking or Agoda.We would recommend it.

we came off season and it was a private resource. had to talk to service when we needed something and it always worked out. the restaurant was closed and the minibar was empty but that’s not an issue as there are restaurants and 7/11 around. the bed is very comfy with soft pillows and rooms are tidy and well isolated from the bugs outside. the water lacks pressure in the pipes a bit but that’s a minor thing really. would come again as it’s quite chill.

I came here in June which is the beginning of off-season. I don't know who was left in charge but they really don't seem to care about anything. When I first arrived they didn't even say hello, they just said "passport", and generally seemed annoyed that they have to deal with customers. The internet went out and when I told them they also seemed really annoyed. I found the router and plugged it back in, apparently a monkey unplugged it. In general though the internet is ok, but its range is terrible. In my room the internet / wifi is intermittent and not good. The pool was green around the edges and doesn't look like its taken care of. I'm sure in the high season things are fine, but low season seems like a bunch of caretakers who don't care.
