best of thailand tranquille beach retreats ”

Our stay was the best we could hope for.after couple of years visiting all beaches from phuket,phiphi,samui,phangan,koh tao, sayang resort on ko lantas long beach became our dream come true. Great soft sandy beach,no rocks in water (can swimm without hurting yourself), simple yet very nice wooden bungallows in garden setting right on beah,whats totally necessary for our age (67yrs) are provided sunbeds in shadow,which isvrather a rarity on ko lanta beautifull beaches. Staff is extraordinary helpful and nice,it is for a reason that sayang gets so high ratings from gueats and i can only confirm those. So if you like nature,traquillity,prefer bungalows instead od big hotels and like to have breakfast in garden setting or dinners right on beach while watching sunsets,this is your place. If u borrow scooter,then u are totally free as of exploring other beaches or heading for dinner as there are hundreds of options within 10min drive,should u get bored by 2km long beach And its dozens of dinner/lunch options. We shall return for sure,not only to lanta,but specially to sayang.

A lovely place to stay”

As a family of four, travelling with a 3 year old and a 4 month old, we were delighted with the Sayang Beach Resort. It had almost everything we needed. We had one of the bungalows furthest from the beach as it was all that was available when we booked, but it didn't matter. The bungalow was extremely spacious with more than enough room for all of us, and it was spotlessly clean, including the bathroom which was light and airy with modern fittings. Even though we were pretty much the furthest bungalow from the beach, it was not more than a pleasant 2 minute walk through the gardens. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout or stay. Breakfast was very good in our view - lots of fresh fruit & yogurt, bread/toast & jam, cold meat, Thai style food (noodles/rice), tea/coffee etc - though if you want a western style fry-up don't get your hopes up as they don't do this - it wasn't a problem for us! The restaurant and bar are good and reasonably priced. It's just a short walk along the beach if you want to try others. Any negatives? Not really. There isn't a pool - again, not a problem for us. The sea is beautifully clear and warm - why would you need a pool?!! Other reviews mention that the sun loungers in the shade are all reserved by people's towels early in the morning - this is true and was possibly the only negative thing for us. It's pretty selfish of people to be honest, particularly as during much of the day these people are nowhere to be seen! All in all, this is a really great place to stay, good value, and we can't recommend it more highly!

Great Atmosphere”

My husband and I stayed at Sayang Beach for 23 days this December and I will say when it was time to go, it was hard to leave. This is a family-oriented resort which makes for a comfortable, friendly, relaxing holiday. The location is great! It is off the main road right on Long Beach and therefore private and exclusive. It is a short walk or tuk-tuk ride into Saladan. Most bungalows are interspersed in the gardens, which are gorgeous, and well-tended. The breakfast buffet was one of the hi-lights of our day. The selection was incredible, with both western and Thai food. The presentation was worth photographing, which I did regularly. We were told if there was something we wanted that wasn't in the buffet, they would make it for us. There is also a restaurant on site serving lunch and dinner from an extensive menu that includes Western, Thai and Indian. The prices are very affordable and the food is mouth-watering. We were never disappointed and ate most of our meals there after trying a few other restaurants on the beach. You must try the Pad Thai! Oh, don't forget the gorgeous sunsets. No complaints about the staff as all were accommodating, most helpful and super friendly. We stayed in a superior bungalow, with daily cleaning, fresh linen and towels. The bungalow was very comfortable with a lovely porch to sit on in the evenings. Do not be surprised, the washrooms are Thai style with T.P. in the basket, not down the toilet. What a great place to start the first leg of our four month journey in SEAsia.

A little bit of Heaven in Thailand”

Would I recommend Sayang Beach resort? In a heartbeat!! Lovely little bungalows set on the best bit of Long Beach. Such friendly staff in the restaurant - Ali, Bung and Alif just can't do enough for you. They have made us so welcome and happy. We originally booked for 1 night - I then had a night booked at a 5 * resort... couldn't wait to leave there and get back to Sayang! Litar and the ladies on reception are so kind and helpful. Simple but tasty brekkie. If you're looking for 5* notmovefromthepool holiday this isn't for you, but if you want genuine Thai beach living (but with comfort) with great customer service on this little tropical paradise, this is for you! Stay here - you won't regret it!

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing”

Absolutely loved our time at Sayang. We stayed in mid April just as the high season winds down and found it to be the perfect balance of not-too-busy yet still lively. The rooms are comfortable and the mosquito nets add an extra layer of protection that was greatly appreciated. The beach is a short walk from all the rooms, but actually the entire property feels like an extension of the beach and it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. As well as great access to the end of a wonderful stretch of beach (with rock-free swimming), the resort also offers amazing sunset views by which to enjoy beer and tasty Thai Muslim food. Not sure what this hotel/stretch of beach is like in the peak of high or low season, but we'd definitely come again in April for sure. Love it.

Beautiful resort with great staff”

We spent 3 nights at the Sayang Beach resort and wish we had booked for longer! The beach is just superb and the resort is fantastic!The staff were friendly and engaging and we ended up eating in at their restaurant every night. The location is superb. At the end of a beautiful beach. Contact with the resort was excellent and they happily organised transport for us from the wharf and then on our leave as well. Would thoroughly recommend this resort.

Wonderful Resort with wonderful Staff”

Very sweet little Resort. In good condition. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our Bungalow was absolutley gorgeous! Very Spacious and the maids are doing a great job! It was realy clean! We also ate sometimes in the hotel and it was not only good it was also not expensive. They have a great Coffee too. The lady who makes the coffe is doing it with a lot of love and you can taste it. It was the best coffe that i had on Koh Lanta! We would definitely book again in this hotel when we willl be on Koh lanta again.

Fantastic location for a peaceful beach holiday”

This was our 4th year staying at Sayang Beach Resort and everything was as beautiful and relaxing as always. So lovely to just stroll from the villas to the perfect beach. All the staff are so friendly and the food in the restaurant was as good and varied as always. My husband likes very spicy food while I don't but we were both perfectly catered for. Looking forward to returning next year.

Great place, great food (the restaurant is excellent), staff is awesome (very friendly and helpful)”

We really enjoyed our stay at Sayang Beach Resort and will for sure come back one day. We had a bungalow with seaview, which was very clean and well equipped. The restaurant is located directly at the beach and has the best Thai food, we‘ve tried during our travel of three weeks in Thailand. We had dinner there four of five nights because it was so good. Staff was exceptional friendly.

Ultimately a great place to stay”

we stayed at sayang beach for seven nights and ultimately had a really lovely time. highlights were the amazing beach front, faboulous services like the bar, the masseurs and the restaurant, and a location a nice easy distance from salander and well located to explore the rest of the island. the low light was that they initially put us in the worst rooms in the resort – next to the car park, opposite the staff quarters (ie the least attractive part of the resort) and you could hear the electronic music from the neighbouring club from about 6 – 12. the room also was below par with no wi-fi connection, a shower that barely dribbled water, a really hard bed and a broken door lock. to their credit, they put me in a better room after i complained after two nights but putting you in the worst room seems to be common practice by hotels for guests who book on line. once i was in a nice room, that matched what we had paid, we had a really lovely time. all the rooms are different and quirky - just some in a quirky bad taste/bad quality and the rest are quirky in really interesting way. i would definitely stay there again if i could be assured that i had a nice room.

Just what we were looking for ”

The loveliest staff made this stay a real joy. The property is right on a lovely smooth sand beach. The beach was very quiet and relaxing. Mid-November on Koh Lanta is really chill. One can relax, eat and watch gorgeous sunsets to one’s heart’s content.

Just perfect ”

The staff here are so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The bungalow was a great size with a big veranda which came in handy when it rained. The bathroom was lovely. We had air conditioning and a mozzie net in the room but could’ve used a chair or two to put our stuff on. We had a hairdryer, a mozzie repellant plug-in, tea & coffee facilities and two bottles of water in the fridge. The resort is right on the beach with amazing views. Breakfast was lovely with plenty to choose from. The restaurant has tables on the beach near the water and it’s a beautiful setting to watch the sun go down. I’ll definitely go back!

Fantastic place and wonderful people”

this place really is paradise. we stayed in the deluxe villa which was great - perfect size and well maintained. even though it was recessed a bit from the beach, you could still hear the waves crashing at night. the location of the resort couldn't be more perfect. it's really on the nicest part of the beach! the restaurant at the resort is right on the beach and the food was so good, we never ate anywhere else during our stay.

Lovely Stay”

We loved staying at the Sayang Beach Resort. The staff was super friendly and kind. The food at the restaurant on the beach was amazing!

Sleeping practically on the beach”

we really enjoyed our stay at sayang beach resort. all bungalows are very close to the beach, which is nice and calm. sometimes we were the only people on the beach which is really spectacular. another good thing we found was the restaurant which had great food at good prices and the bar next door. breakfast was at the hotel was ok.

Fabulous Beach setting”

fantastic resort right on the beach. excellent staff. breakfast was great with plenty of asian and western selections. restaurant was very good, great selection of thai and indian food. there is no swimming pool but the beach is so close it's not an issue. motor bike hire, boat trips etc can all be organised by the staff. transfers to and from the town was easily organised via the reception desk and very cheap. bungalows range from basic to plush.

Stay here!”

Can’t say enough good things about Sayang. Clean rooms, affordable, and steps from the beach. Staff are unbelievably friendly and accommodating. Solid breakfast with a rotating menu every morning. Would not hesitate to go back if we could!

Great spot for the price. Decent breakfast buffet”

Great! Cool people, right on the beach. Feels a little removed from the "local" Lanta feel that the island is famous for. More of a destination resort feel, but super easy to get around if you rent a bike. I would stay here again

Great location”

The Sayong Beach Resort is located at the end of long beach. We stayed in a garden view bungalow. The location of the room was very quiet and the bungalow was lovely and clean. There is a restaurant on site, the food is good and the staff are great.

Wonderful hospitality ”

Great location, wonderful private bungalows with terrace, quiet end of the beach. Wonderful hospitality that is so much more than skin deep. Always happy to chat but not intrusive, if a problem arises there's a real urgency to get it resolved. If you like beach holidays. Here's your place. Full review on TA
