Kathy stayed at Baan Laanta Resort & Spa on 02/07/2006 and said,  "We had a wonderful holiday and our experience of Thailand was really a memorable one. Be aware that Baan Lanta is a muslim resort, no bacon! Breakfast was rather boring. We would like to raise 2 issues about Baan Lanta which really bothered us. The first was that when arriving at Baan Lanta we were not given the Bay Front room that we had paid for and was upgraded at an extra cost, but rather a seaview at the back which was dark and small, Yum (the manger) did say that we would be moving but he wasn t sure when! We stayed in the seaview room for 2 nights before we moved. This is a difference in cost which we were not reimbursed and we did not mention then. We did e-mail on our return with complaint, but we are STILL awaiting a reply which we feel is very rude. Secondly, every evening we supported the resort by eating at Baan Lanta from the barbecue which was excellent and reasonable for the wonderful seafood etc. BUT on our last night we also ate the barbecue but upon departure the next morning we were given a bill for over 1,200 bht and were charged 580 bht for a Jack fish! No fish in the world would cost us the equivalent of R120(SA). We expressed our shock to Tina but Yum was not available and we had to leave to catch our boat. Tina on reception was amazing and really helpful, so were the Bar staff. "

Olga stayed at Baan Laanta Resort & Spa on 01/29/2006 and said,  "Baan Lanta is a truly lovely place, on one oft he best beaches in Lanta. Rooms are beautiful, and even though the sea view is not always visible, it simply does not matter. The only thing - rooms can really do with additional lighting by the bed - it is too dark to read when it gets dark. I loved all the people who worked there - very friendly, very accomodating and helpful. Food is great - guys really can make delicious stuff! Some people around complained about slow service and wrong orders at the restaurant - but all of my orders were precisely as I wanted them to be and scrumptuos."

N.E., stayed at Baan Laanta Resort & Spa on 01/24/2006 and said,  "Very overpriced for Ko Lanta, and what it offers. Finish on the room is poor (e.g. big hole under the sink where a panel should have been, sink loose(!)and no light above the sink for make up or shaving needs), and the cleaniness,cleaning and makeover of the rooms could be much better. Not a problem for us, and rewarded with fine views but need to menton lots of steps - not for the unfit or unfirm!. Front of house customer service needs to be much more welcoming and friendly. having said, Kantieng beach is fabulous."
