Wandered in for the end of the UFC fights with 20ml beer/one swig left from previous bar. Bartender flicked my elbow and said "hey, you can't have that here, this is an establishment" very rudely. By the letter of the law I was wrong but come on, I was 10 seconds away from buying alcohol at this establishment. A little grace would have been in order. Shame because it seemed like a nice place.

We chose this hotel by chance and were very pleased. The room was cozy, clean, had everything you needed. The plumbing is new and there is always hot water. Nice terrace near the house. Quiet, despite the proximity of the road. There is a store nearby. For breakfast there is delicious coffee at the bar. The owner is very friendly and always ready to help. (helped me pick the lock on a suitcase for which I had lost the key). Thank you very much. I recommend the hotel.. we were very pleased!!

Glyn is the best.. 😊👍🏼
I've been there several times just for beer and pool billard. We had lots of fun and a good time with funny people and super friendly Glyn.
Hope to come back one day. Greetings

Great location near Long Beach, just a 10 minute walk. Close to quite a few restaurants and bars. Clean bungalows. The owner, Glyn, was really nice to talk to. He also was helpful in getting me a soft pillow, when the pillow was too hard the first night. After that, I slept well the remaining nights.Wi-Fi did not function in the bungalow I had, so I had to use the data on my phone and hotspot for my laptop, but not a major issue on my end. That could be different if your bungalow is closer to the restaurant.

Good location close to everything (and calm although it is close to the main road, but the bungalows are quite a bit in the backside); friendly owner; nice bungalows with good value for money. I would come again for my next trip to Lanta

Stayed with my partner for 5 nights, English owner Glyn was super helpful from the minute we checked in, was always there when needed and helped us sort out a scooter for us at a great price and gave us advice on where to go/directions of the island.The location is really good, the rooms are very modern and newly refurbished and also very clean. They do the nicest sunday roasts which i 100% reccommend.Great for a long or short stay.
