great place to stay”

we ordered fan room. but first night we was offered to stay in ac bungalow which was great. fan room was half price and half comfort... next to leaking water tower... so there was constant sound of droping water from 10m high tower. a bit enoying for me... other than that was ok. bar had great atmosphere and restaurant was great, with one of my best pad thais...

Amazing stay”

We arrived quite late and some how there had been some problems with Agoda and we were the 6 th lot of people to arrive without reception having a received our booking from Agoda, we had a triple room booked which was not available. However the reception had been very helpful and professional and quickly came up with a solution while we were enjoying cocktails at the bar. We stayed 3 nights over Christmas and had a fantastic stay. They could however try clear the rubbish bins around the pool area more frequently. The location is terrific and right next to Freedom bar, so we were spoilt with fire shows and great cocktails everyday. Thank you for a great stay

a warm welcome, a perfect stay and a warm goodby”

Myself my wife and our two children had a very good stay. The room was clean, ac worked good, we enjoyed swimming and playing in both the pool and at the beach. The restaurant food was greate and the evenings on the beach with all the bars and restaurants lit up with cosy lanterns and lights, nice without making it look exploited or overly touristic, was simply amazing. We made several day trips by kayak, car and boat. The hotel staff and owner were very helpful in making trip arrangements.

Great Value for Money on Amazing Beach”

My stay here was perfect. I needed a place to relax while working. Although the internet wasn't great there were a number of good bars and restaurants close by with good wifi. The place is comfortable and I imagine the newer bungalows with A/C were even better. I stayed in a standard room with a fan and found it to be perfect for the budget traveler. This beach was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it for Koh Lanta!

A hidden gem with excellent service!”

We ended up extending our 3 days to 5 days after seeing so much to do on Koh Lanta. The staff at the Emerald was very helpful in planning excursions as well as being very prompt. We were there for New Years which was a little loud, but easily forgotten with the beautiful beach and warm hospitality.

Favourite place in Thailand”

My stay at the Lanta Emerald was outstanding, we really couldn't have asked for a better place! It's right on a beautiful beach, the pool in fab, the rooms great and the staff are super helpful! I would come back in a heartbeat. Also ... how about those beachfront massages?! Heaven!

A lovely relaxing stay”

We really enjoyed our stay in one of the newer apartment style bungalows at Emerald. Very clean room. Set back from the road and so close to the beach. The only little thing was that the fan was a bit loud for us, but that's all. The food offering at the restaurant is plenty and various.... All good food. Especially the papaya salad and tom yum. The manager Ron and his staff were all helpful and attentive. Would come again!

Nice small holiday in Lanta Emerald Bungalow”

We stayed in bungalow for 4 people. Room was ok, had air con and fan. Housekeeping was every other day. It was ok too, but it would have been nice if toilet trash can would have been emptied every day, because there was 4 of us, and you are not allowed to throw toilet paper in the toilet. Pool area was nice and clean. Restaurant was also very good and cheap. Location is absolutely great because you can watch the sunset every night from the beach. Staff was also very nice and heplful. Hotel manager was also very friendly.

The best hotel experience in Thai, just perfect”

Came here for just one night and immediately extended for another four. The bad reviews are totally misleading - the rooms are nice, spacious and clean, the swimming pool is also very beautiful and clean and the hotel staff is simply excellent. The hotel itself is run by a family business so every customer is treated with care, one of the owners even took us on a private tour on the island. We also got our day-trips for a very good price from the hotel, they were very helpful and nice, i would expect this kind of service from a 5* hotel. The hotel itself is right on the beach so we had a good view from our balcony, the long sandy beach is very rocky below the water but it is clear right in front of the hotel so you can easily go swimming (something you probably cant do in front of many other hotels). The menu in the hotels restaurant is excellent and offers a lot of options - all of which are delicious. Very good value for money, I would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my stay memorable and just perfect. ขอขอบคุณคุณ เห็นคุณ

Nice budget bungalow with a pool, 5m of the beach”

The resort is very good located (beach front) and the bungalows stand in a nice coconut garden where you can reach the swimming pool. We stay at Lanta Emerald resort during the ramadan period so there were not a lot of people in the streets and most of the restaurants are close. However, we enjoyed the bar just next the resort and the restaurant (beach view) was DELIGHTFUL and rather cheap. Try the shrimp/chicken satay and the massaman curry set! You can also rent a motorbike to visit the island (200bht) specilly Lanta Town (15min)!

Good beachfront option with a pool!”

We heard mixed reviews about this place espec the owner as he could get very angry with some people. We didn't find that at all, sure he was a bit curt but descent overall. We even saw him help a couple try to find another hotel as he was fully booked. Hut was nice we had the cheapie one. Beach was fantastic and pool really nice as well. Food at this place is not that cheap but so delicious it was well worth it! The Freedom bar that's attached to the restaurant is nice to chill, play pool (for free) and have some drinks.

Very relaxing place”

second year we have stayed here. we stayed in the bamboo bungalows which are good for the price we paid. the food in the restaurant is very good but if you move out on to the street there are many places to eat which are much cheaper. we would be very happy to return again to this resort.

Good bungalows and chilled out location”

The Deluxe Bungalows are very spacious, practical and more or less clean. Plenty of dead flies at the fan and the AC was a bit musty... breakfast was included and good. The beach is ok and there are plenty of chilled out bars around. They organized a day trip and ferry & transport for me at a fair price.

Nice resort with really nice pool”

enjoyable resort, with a nice big pool and pleasant service. Bungalows big and clean. The downside is the lack of room service and small portions in restaurants and internet available only near reception. entrance to the ocean is quite rocky. I would recommend for families with children.

Cute clean bungalows”

a quiet relaxing resort. the food wasn't the best but there are plenty of places to eat nearby (which have free wifi, unlike the resort). freedom bar was good for a chilled night and a few games of pool, and the staff were friendly both in the bar and in the resort. i stayed in the cheaper bamboo huts, i found these to be clean and spacious (the best i've stayed in, and i've stayed in a lot!) and with the combination of fan and ocean breeze cool enough on an evening.

Not very good”

we were supposed to have a room with a tv and we didn't. during the night we got bitten by what i am pretty sure were fleas. on our last night we came back from the beach to find a staff member had taken my shoes for a trip to 7/11 and we waited for half an hour for him to return. i don't know what kind of staff takes customers shoes but they aren't good ones that's for sure. the pool was great and the area was nice but we didn't much enjoy our accommodation (bamboo hut).

Great location...slightly odd vibe”

Fine hotel. It is totally worth the low season price...maybe not the high season. Has some confusion at check-in. Myself and my husband were traveling with a friend of mine. We had booked 2 standard rooms at agoda. However, when we got there they tried to convince us to take 1 room with a double and a single bed...no mention of a changing cost either. The breakfast was good...however, the only option is American...which was far too much food. Could be worse!!! Great pool!

By the beach, fab sunsets and even better staff”

We stayed at the Emerald for 3 nights with a one night gap after the first two nights on Koh Pei Pei. We were able to leave our bags at the hotel and even got the same room when we came back. We had a couple of early departures and they boxed up our breakfast fruit so we could take it with us. The hotel is own a rutted track and not that easy to find so the free transport was great but when you get there you are right next to the beach. we spent our time there relaxing and so didn't see much of Koh Lanta but we were quite happy having a massage overlooking the beach and watching fab sunsets with a happy hour cocktail in our hand. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The pool looked lovely but we didn't use it. The only downside was the en-suite was a bit tired and the wifi (available from 07.30 till 22.00) wasn't free (100 baht per day)but they were very helpful and gave us the last couple of hours for 20 or 30 Baht which suited us. If you want to be in the thick of it then this is not the place for you but if you want to chill like us.... go for it.

Perfect stay for everyone!”

this place was very nice! its smack on the beach and its a very chilled vibe. there is a big pool in the middle and that was pretty good because it was very rocky in the sea. we were upgraded from a wooden bungalow into a little villa and it was very nice. the restaurant had good thai food but the staff was not nice at all! the same staff was in the restaurant and reception and it not very nice to deal with them. other then that the barstaff was amazing and the bar is fantastic. good drinks and a pooltable. the owner of the hotel is also very nice!

Nice Hotel, Nice Beach”

Had a good stay, room was clean, shower was warm. Right on the beach, nice relaxing area at restaurant, good massage.
