Hotel is perfect and on the beach front with restaurants and bars within walking distance. Hotel was always clean and staff very friendly. The restaurant is great with good food. We tried many other places to eat but but often came back to the hotel restaurant as the food is well balanced and also have options if you get tired of eating rice every day. A special thanks to the food &beverage manager Nun, that seemed to be working 24/7 and always with a smile on his face, leading the staff. Without him the place wouldn’t be the same. We booked this resort as it said there is a gym but unfortunately the machines are old an a few were broken so that was a disappointment.

My family, including two toddlers, recently spent two weeks at Southern Lanta, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. We opted for the sunset villa, which was definitely worth the extra expense compared to the family bungalows we initially considered. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the rooms were consistently clean (kudos to the diligent cleaners), and the pools provided ample entertainment for the kids. The proximity to the excellent beach, just a stone's throw away, was a definite highlight. Moreover, the location was ideal, with numerous restaurants within walking distance offering delicious food (with the exception of the pizza). A special mention goes to the staff who went above and beyond when we realized we had booked the wrong dates. Despite being fully booked, they managed to accommodate us, which we greatly appreciated. The atmosphere at Southern Lanta was perfect for families like ours, and we had the pleasure of meeting and befriending many other like-minded families. I would highly recommend this place to families with young children, although those without kids or with older children MIGHT want to consider their options. However, for this to be a perfect rating from me, there is one area that could use improvement - the gym. The facilities were subpar. The treadmills were inadequate for anyone weighing over 75kg and wanting to exceed 9 km/h, and the overall equipment quality left much to be desired. Additionally, the air conditioning in the gym was ineffective, making workouts uncomfortable. With some limited investments and minor effort, the gym could be significantly improved. Despite these minor flaws, our stay at Southern Lanta was overwhelmingly positive, and we would gladly return in the future (at least for as long as our kids are young).

“Screaming kids all day long!”

If you want to sit by the pool and listen to screaming kids all day long this is your place! It's such a shame as the resort is lovely, the beach bungalows are cute, clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly :-) shame some of the clientele have no control over their children's behaviour!

It's such a shame as the resort is lovely, the beach bungalows are cute, clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly :-) shame some of the clientele have no control over their children's behaviour! Screaming and shouting all day long! Avoid if you want peace & quiet!
