excellent food, great bar, cool, chill vibe”

we arrived in koh lanta without having booked anywhere(in peak season january) and saw on agoda the family resort had a room open. rented a scooter by the pier and made our way to the family resort. first impressions were ok...our room was a standard fan room which is really all you need in their winter months. no need for aircon- which the resort also offers at dbl the price. we decided to do our padi open water 1 in koh lanta which is a 4 day course and managed to book another night at the family. after tasting the excellent food and enjoying the chill vibe we tried to stay another few days at the family but they were fully booked. we managed to find other accommodation but decided to book our last two nights next to family- long story short- checked-in late there due to a long day of diving and they gave our room away since they thought we were'nt coming anymore. we walked over to the the family, they recognised us but unfortunately only had a fancy aircon chalet open which was not in our budget- the owner gave us the room at a 3rd of the price and were really accommodating and uber friendly! the barman, is such a cool dude and makes killer mojitos! this place really grew on us and we didn't want to leave. it's close and far enough from the pier, close enough to the more southern beaches of the island which are really pretty and it was the perfect base and for a little while home.

Simple bungalow right on the beach”

I stayed here for 5 nights with my partner in Januari. As budget travellers we choose the cheapest bungalow. It was ok, I mean, you get what you pay for and in Koh Lanta this was one of the cheapest places that had access to the beach. So yes, location wise this place is great. But I wouldn't recommend you going here if you plan to spend a lot of time indoors (the room was pretty dark and we found a few cockroaches). But you definitely won't want to stay inside anyway. Khong klong beach is perfect for a day or so, morning swim etc but for a full day on the beach I'd recommend you renting a scooter (200bath/day) and go to some of the other beaches on the island.

Good location Resort”

We stayed there for 2 nights. We stayed in a fan room and it was a simple bungalow. Resort is located at the beach. Food was good, some foods are a little bit pricey but some are reasonable price compared to other restaurants in Koh Lanta. In the evening there was a really good sunset view. The beach where the resort is located is quite nice. But you can't really swim there after later during the day because the water level goes down and there are a lot of rocks. During the night there are some parties along the beach. We would definitely visit there again. And we recommend this resort to anyone who want to chill and relax. But in our opinions it might not be suitable area (the beach) to families with young kids.

Wonderful Family Getaway with Great Staff”

I don't normally fill out reviews, but I loved my time SO MUCH at Lanta Family Resort that I wanted to write about my positive experience. The staff was very friendly, the food was great, the fellow travelers were wonderful, and the experience was perfect for a relaxing beach getaway.

Very nice resort with an awesome location”

The resort is very nice, the Bungalows perfect for a stay in Koh Lanta and you practically live on the Beach! The Staff helps with booking stuff and everything Else and is nice as well. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

6 days in Lanta Family”

We spent a very nice journey in Lanta Family Resort. People were friendly and smiling! I specially recommend this Resort to couples with children!

Great Stay in Koh Lanta”

We really enjoyed our time at the Lanta Family. The staff was incredibly friendly and the facilities clean. We spent a considerable amount of time working from their hammocks, with breaks to swim. We defiitely reccommend these accomodations.

Nice and clean bungalow for small price”

It was pleasant to stay here, I tried several expensive accomodation nearby and this was the best one. Big and clean room in bungalow with separeted bathroom with hot water. I needed PC to copy my pics from sd card, they gave me to use laptop from reception. I felt like at home. Really recommend this accomodation. They have BBQ every night. Main road is close, it's necessary to rent motorbike when you at Lanta. Everything is close when you go with motorbike, this location is great to go north or south to explore island.

Family owned resort for calm stay in Ko Lanta”

Location - it's a really calm place just next to the beach where sand is not white and not rocky as well. During night there was no noise from other bars. Plenty of places to eat around. 7/11 reachable just by 2 minutes walking. Apartments - there are 3 types of bungalows. Cheapest option with fan. And we stayed in colorful bungalow that was economic option. AC and fan were working properly, everything was fine in the bathroom as well. Second part of our stay we stayed in deluxe room (2 rooms in 1 bungalow, each with patio). Differences from other bungalow are size, more sound isolation, floor are not wood, shower has a small wall from wc. So it depends what are you looking for. Service - this place has scooters for rent and that is really convenient, however the deposit is passport. No breakfast included but there's a restaurant in the same place. We did not tried it as prices were higher than in most of other places. Overall, this resort belongs to the family and you can feel it :)

Love Lanta ”

Get away from the tourist and head to Lanta for a real Thai experience

Average bungalow resort in a nice position”

Klong Kong is one of Lanta's livelier beaches, attractive despite a lot of exposed rock at low tide. Family Resort is beachside - the restaurant in particular was a nice place to spend time. Prices there seemed a bit higher than standard island bungalow restaurants but so were several other places I visited on the island. Still a bargain by western standards. My standard fan bungalow was a tarted up backpacker place - rattan walls, thatch roof, concrete and tile cold water bathroom, just big enough for 2 and their gear, dim lights, no clothes storage, good insect screens but no mozzie net. A bit overpriced for shoulder season, particularly as the place had no pool unlike most competitors. The more modern aircon rooms looked nice. Staff was friendly and efficient. Some noise from neighboring beach bar parties a few nights. Nice selection of shops and other services 5 minutes walk on the main road.

Bungalows right on the beach, great staff”

Our family of 4 (2 parents and daughters aged 11 & 13) stayed at LFR for almost a week. The resort is about 20 Minutes drive from the pier, and right on the beach. The beach is quite lovely at high tide and when the tide goes out you can walk out for hundreds of metres for great beachcombing and tide pool exploration. The staff are super sweet, there is a restaurant and bar onsite (but also many others closeby) and also a spa for beachside massages. Important to note that some rooms don't have hot water, meaning your shower is cold. We got used to this easily enough considering how hot it is outside.

Wonderfully located and excellent food”

beach is lovely and quiet , although the sea is full of rocks, making it almost impossible to swim. one can bathed in sea water at high tide, which can be nice enough....can be advisable to look for a hotel with pool on the same beach. there are a few nearby offered at a slightly higher rate, but it is worth it , i guess. excellent thai and also indian food served in restaurant, but they can be a bit pushy in inviting to order some more. we were happy during the 5 days we spent, but can get better value for money elsewhere in lanta.

All good!”

It was a cozy area to hang out, watching the beautiful sunset and having some food. the young kids who work here are very kind and funny. It's a very big family here and they are able to talk English a bit! Highly recommended for a family and also solo travelers. They help you with everything you need. And you can also book island tours, motorbikes and stuff. You should just note that wifi is only working around the reception and restaurant area. But you are on holiday so you don't need it all the time :)

Great location, new bungalows very comfortable, value for money”

I stayed in brand new bungalows with A/C, nicely equipped, clean and comfortable. Restaurant in the resort serves very good food and located right at the beachfront. Housekeeping and towel change on demand. Staff friendly and helpful.

perfekt for family”

we stayed 4 weeks in the family House K 5. perfect for us. room Service perfect. nice beach Lots of shells. due to tides Swimming not always possible. nice food, nice people, Many Options for food and drink in the beach.

Great Location and Grounds!”

Pros- beautiful grounds with palm trees to relax under when the sun is hot, very nice open air bungalows to lounge in with pillows, very affordable and right on the beach which was amazing!!! Cons- the room was clean yet my bathroom smelled very strongly of mildew (I was in a budget hut, the other buildings probably wouldn't have that problem) but for the price I endured it, and I wasn't too crazy about the food, but it may be very delicious to other people. Overall a very lovely place!

A very nice and friendly resort,Fine Beach”

We can recommand this resort, if you like Basic but -Good for value- bungalows, a really fine Beach. We also liked the Creative Beach bars along the resort, motorbiking and really good organized Day Trips! The staff was very kind and you feel like home. We would come here again.

Pleasant stay at a quiet resort on the beach”

The hotel is located right in front of the beach. Our room was very spacious with lots of light. It was very quiet at night so it's good if you are looking for a relaxing stay near the beach. when the tide is low you can't swim because of the rocks on the beach, but it's fine when it's high. The staff were quite nice, specially the waiters at the restaurant, always smiling, they were very funny. I wish they would have cleaned our room at least once during our stay of 7 nights. it's the only criticism I have.

Great beach front ”

Stayed in deluxe room. Good quality and value. The beach cabana where's great. Sunsets phenomenal. Don't book a longtail through them, find solace that guarantees small groups. The hotel had us on a boat tour with 21 people when they promised 15....our boat almost flipped....
