Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort

tomas stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2008-02-27 and said, "The worst nightmare in Koh Lanta. The staff was totally useless and the room was a disaster. Do not go to this hotel. The only thing good about this plase was the beach. The staff tried to charge me for an broken umberella 400 bath, witch we never used. They do had a busboy who looked like our new swedish king, Daniel W. keep on the good work Vickan"

Martin stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2007-07-09 and said, "The resort was a bit of a dissapointment. We stayed there for one week in July. Maybe it was due to low season, but staff did not really identify themselves with their mission.When we arrived at night, they found out that electricity in our appartment did not work - why was this not tested in advance while cleaning the room? The shower water was either boiling hot or quite cold, the room service did not clean properly and did not try to do their work when we had left the appartment. Instead they showed up at late morning when we have come back from breakfast and a walk after two hours.The beach was dirty beyond imagination. Maybe they do not feel responsible for the beach wich is directly in front of the resort?Breakfast was a laugh. Two slices of toast, two sorts of jam, a tiny glass of fruit juice and a cup of coffe. In addition some ham and sausages and either a scrambled egg or omelette. If we liked Muesli, this was an extra to be paid, and egg pancace as well. Pretty strange, that policy, as all the other hotels I know offer a good buffet.Staff did not care much. Example: We ordered coffee and a little jug with milk, and when they brought a second cup of coffee, they forgot the milk and we had top ask again. This procedure became everyday routine during the stay ...We were one out of only two or three families who stayed at the resort and staff did not find it necessary to prepare the deckchairs at the pool for so few people.And so on and so on ...Altogether, although the place was nice, the beach was lonely and the installation itself seems to be okay, this is not a recommendable place.Ko Lanta is a considerably dirty island anyway ..."

Christian stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2007-05-22 and said, "Surely the worthest staff ever met in a Thai Hotel. Unpolite, rude, and unhelpful. Good size room but extremely DIRTY! Bed and bath laundry has definetly to be changed. Breakfast under the average. NEVER AGAIN HERE!!!"

Emily stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2007-04-26 and said, "I was really suprised at how bad the service was (especially the front desk). Among the worst I ve seen. The delux oceanside room was run down and dirty as well. Musty bedding, grimy bathroom, etc. On the good side, the garden area was nice and the sunsets wonderful. We were there at the end of the season, so not many people and the sand bar was closed. I would not return."

Carolina stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2005-11-06 and said, "Wonderful, simply wonderful! We enjoyed a relaxing and very comfortable stay at the friendly Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort. The resort is beautifully located at Long Beach and still within Saladan at a short distance. The staff is very nice and serviceminded, the restaurant serves great food with a smile. We definitely recommend this place!"

Joanne stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2005-10-21 and said, "This is a really lovely resort and very good value. We stayed in a seafront bungalow, which was truly luxurious and it looks like the rooms in the main building have a great view. The grounds and pool are beautiful. At the time we went there was a lot of cloud cover causing glare and there is nowhere near enough shade for these conditions. Strangely enough, considering the name, all the casuarinas have been cut down! The beachfront umbrellas would probably be enough shade on a sunny day. The bar area is pretty dull in comparison to other resorts and its loud music can ruin a peaceful afternoon, but the staff will turn the music down if asked. All the staff at this resort were delightful and made our stay a pleasure.The restaurant is fine for dinner, though more expensive than those out on the main road or up the beach. The northern end of Long Beach has some great beach bars - perfect for a cocktail at sunset.Koh Lanta was the highlight of our trip to Thailand; it s a beautiful and peaceful place."

Philip stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2005-10-18 and said, "The hotel was lovely. We had excellent service and the food was also excellent. We did have a lot of rain due to the season and as a result we spent more time in the room - unfortunately we had a few problems with the DVD and televsion reception."

Declan stayed at Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort on 2005-04-06 and said, "Excellent. I had a seaview room which was immaculatlely clean and very nicely furnished, looking out to sea from the terrace/patio doors. Staff were very polite & friendly & anxious to help at all times, with passable to quite good English. There is a lovely infinity pool looking out to sea, a great relaxing way to watch the sunset. I was offered an upgrade to a chalet, which was very roomy inside but I stuck with my 2nd floor view. I was collected from Krabi airport for a very small charge, well worth it. The resort is on Phra Ae beach, which is a long, pleasant & quiet white sand beach, ideal for soaking up the sun or cooling off in the ocean - no hawkers or other annoyances. The resort restaurant is okay but menu could be more varied-it didn t matter as there is a pretty good beach restaurant 5mins walk away. The grounds are being improved at the front of the hotel but the rest of the layout was very green & pleasant. If you re looking for somewhere peaceful with great rooms & a very fine pool to relax at, somewhere that gives an affordable touch of luxury, then stay here. Certainly the best resort I saw on this stretch of the island -strongly reccommended"
