Eco Lanta Hideaway Beach Resort

Really liked this place. Very nice atmosphere and right on the beach. We stayed several nights. Especially Addy was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again if I come back to Koh Lanta.

Location is the best thing about this resort. Mosquitos can get into the room easily (mosquito net supplied for the bed), there was an occasional smell from the drain, bed sheets were dirty and we found a hairy bar of soap in the shower when we went into our room but overall it was a nice stay

Right on to the beach and it a beautiful beach , charming accommodation with good WIFI. Friendly service .

The Manager was aggressive (questioned why we wanted floor mats [accused us of having taken seven], toilet paper and drinking water and accused us of lying about lack of cleaning). On first day, room was not cleaned until we complained (too late after 1700 hrs). Not enough staff. Mgt thought we were unreasonable as the staff were ‘new’. Very scary and aggressive and visited our room twice despite ‘do not disturb.’ Restaurant was appalling: nice local staff but very slow with wrong or missed orders. Seemed to be a sewerage problem with a strong smell coming from public toilets to the restaurant area. For some reason the floor in our room shower was painted blue: this came off on our feet (our feet are still stained blue having returned home). Not sure why this place is called ‘Eco’ other than bamboo huts. Plastic straws, plastic cups and styrofoam food containers,, etc.

Some of the bungalows are surrounded by trees, so there are mosquitos.

There are better property’s for this money on the beach, do not pay more than 1000thb. Not very clean and build quality very poor resulting in shabby accommodation, coupled with the poor cleanliness I would be generous we’re I to give this place 2 stars. I don’t think it could ever have qualified for the 4 star status that it advertises. Restaurant was also very poor, waited 40 minutes for my wife’s food which when arrived was inedible, we were still charged for it.

I can’t express enough how much we fell in love with Eco Lanta. Such a welcoming and friendly feeling there! We stayed for a total of 5 nights for the beginning of our honeymoon and it was just amazing. The staff is what really makes this place spectacular. They really take an interest in the guests and make sure everyone is having the best possible time. They even made our room special once my husband told them it was our honeymoon. The rooms themselves are also very charming, bamboo everything! It made us feel good to support their eco friendly sustainable practices. The owners helped to arrange day trips for us and renting a motorbike to explore the island was super easy. The food is also really nice, we ate literally every meal there because it was so good! I can’t recommend this place enough. The vibe is amazing and the beach is beautiful, we caught one of the best sunsets from the Eco Bar. Highly recommend!

The resort itself is glowing, very eco with bamboo bungalows and lanterns galore, the massage buildings looks sublime. The staff were very welcoming all round and really go the extra mile to make your stay wonderful, my only reservation is if you find yourself with a problem as we did, you will struggle to come out on top. The manager is very much money driven, I had an issue with a birthday cake which I had asked to be made for my daughters birthday, yes they replied no problem, no mention of how much, what size, etc, the day came, cake was ok and fairly large. When we checked a bill for 2000baht for cake appeared, I debated this price and also the lake of communication for verify price and size etc, I was told I had broken a contract and it was my fault. I should pay. (I didn’t) also hired two mopeds on the first night for three days 1500 baht was the price discounted for us, sadly after just 1 hour of having the bikes both my daughter and I felt very unsafe on the roads plus the lack of variation with helmets sizes for safety meant we returned the mopeds, the same manager insisted he would have to keep a full days hire price of 500 baht as “he would not be able to re-rent the bikes out for the next 24hrs, to which we noticed one of the bikes rented with 6 hours. Happy hour cocktails were not billed at happy hours prices! Each time we wanted to walk out to the beach a waiting staff member would try and user you to sit and have a meal, to much pressure! Sadly we would not return to this very pretty resort due to the worry we would be watching every penny once there.

Nice spacious room with unique bamboo located right on the beach with lots of restaurants along

eco Lanta is situated just beside to the beach having beautiful environment and very decent decoration. rooms are quite big and beds are very comfy. just lovely

A very nice resort with lovely bamboo bungalow. Staff were very helpful, but a little bit insisted that we should eat there. (prices for dining were quite high.

Amazingly friendly reception and housekeeping staff, couldn’t do enough for us. Genuinely friendly people. Positioned on a quite stretch of Long Beach, amongst the trees this is a perfect place to relax. There are better places to eat, but regardless, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend.

Beautiful beach with wonderful people-downside is the bungalow is definitely rustic and we had some trouble with rodents.

So cute and fantastic location. The rooms are convenient but also secluded. The restaurant and massages are beachside. Scooters for rent on site. Also many activities that pick you up on the beach. The staff speaks English and takes an interest in making sure you have a great trip.

The bungalows are the perfect size for a couple. Beds are softer than some of the other mattresses we slept on in Thailand. Mosquitoes weren’t too bad as long as we had the net pulled during the day and night, and wore spray. Refrigerator didn’t really have the opportunity to get cold due to key card electrical - not a big deal. Front desk staff were so friendly and helpful and spoke great English. They gave us wonderful recommendations for our time in Koh Lanta. You can book excursions through the front desk for a smooth and coordinated process at fair prices. Beach front access is AWESOME. The water is so blue and calm for the majority of the morning and early afternoon. We had the beach almost to ourselves. Great happy hour and food served at the restaurant. Breakfast is a little pricier than we were used to, but unlimited fruit and juice + a meal (rice soup was excellent). BBQ fish was the only thing I wasn’t a fan of - great pad Thai and Tom Yam.

Loved the place! It was secluded and next to everything at the same time. The food was delicious and the bamboo bungalows were really fun. I had an issue booking with agoda but the owners took care of everything. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and would definitely stay agiain!

We spent 5 nights at the resort and wished we could have stayed longer. A peaceful oasis where we didn’t feel there were resorts on either side. Excellent service provided by all staff, with immediate attention to requests. Special thanks to Ahmed at reception who went out of his way to ensure a memorable stay. We’ll be back on our next trip to Thailand.

Staff at this resort are very kind and willing to help with any issues, however I do think we overpayed for the room and facilities. Several issues arose during our three nights there: The shower is one temperature, for us it was too hot and when the staff adjusted it, they were helpful but it only adjusted to being too cold Our AC did work in our room, but did not respond to any tempature or fan changes, leaving it blowing in my face all night. After the first night we noticed bite marks out of the soap bar in the bathroom, after the second we noticed rodent poop on my clothes. Safe to say they may have a rodent issue. It rained during our stay, causing severe leaks in the bathroom portion of the bamboo bungalow. At least it was only the bathroom and not over the bed. The property also floods and becomes a muddy mess. We chose not to bug staff about all our issues, but I did want to write a review to warn others. The food was tasty however and the beach is very nice.

There are so many reasons to recommend Eco Lanta to anyone thinking of visiting Thailand. First off, I think Koh Lanta is the best island in Thailand and this is not my first time coming here. The location within the island is spot on, located centrally on Long Beach, you are near to local amenities but far enough away from the noisier parts of the island. The staff are fantastic - there was never anything too much for them to help us with. The bar and restaurant staff were brilliant. Food was great! Cocktails during happy hour were some of the cheapest on the island but still super-tasty (not watered-down like in many other places). Even the massage ladies were the best! I practically live in hotels for work so I know a thing or two about hotels and I felt like I could live here forever - it was that good!

very close to the beach. the place its like upscale camping. we had in the night toad in our bathroom and geckos. it was a adventure and we liked it.
