蘭達卡斯塔維海灘度假村(Lanta Castaway Beach Resort)

Great place, right on the beach with a bar and restaurant. Definitely recommend.

Dit kleinschalige Resort is wat mij betreft een absolute topper in elk aspect. Mooie bungalows met alle voorzieningen, schitterende ligging. Maar vooral de service is super: attente staff van de Bar jongens tot de poetsvrouwen en de receptie... Allemaal met een oprechte big smile. Lekker eten, gezellig tafelen, zeer netjes, alles wat je nodig hebt is in de buurt. Zeer relax qua sfeer. De duikschool in het Resort is ook een absolute aanrader. Wij komen terug

Nice beachside resort with beautiful, well cared for gardens and cozy bungalows that are clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for comfort in your room. Very comfortable beds and pillows which is a big deal when away from home as well. We stayed in 5 resorts on different Islands throughout Thailand, including Phuket during our 3 weeks in Thailand; this one was our top choice. The deck was wonderful to sit on and listen to the birds while relaxing after a day of exploring or first thing in the morning with coffee. It is also nice having a foot wash before stepping onto the deck, so you aren't tracking sand from the beach or elsewhere up onto it and then into your room. The beach is lovely and not overcrowded and there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance and a little convenience store very close by. The lovely ladies at the desk where you check in were very good and helpful in getting us a scooter arranged for 3 days and also upon our arrival from the Saladin Pier our taxi driver charged us double the price quoted by the resort upon our arrival. They gave my husband back 200 baht and were very angry at the driver for over charging! The resort is set far enough off the road and the bungalows are closer to the beach, so you do not hear any of the road traffic which is a big bonus as well. The only con is that they need to give guests larger bottles of water instead of 4 small glass bottles as those get used up very quickly when drinking, brushing teeth or making coffee.

The staff here are simply amazing. They were friendly and helpful, and so genuine! We stayed at the beachfront bungalow for six days and I can't recommend this hidden gem highly enough. I had a bit of stomach upset in the middle of our stay, and when my husband went out to breakfast without me, our server asked, "where's your wife?" He indicated I had an upset tummy and she suggested a hot soup with rice and ginger (which I am certain is not actually on the menu), and then she actually brought that soup to my room for me. The resort also offered to drive to a doctor's office, which ended up being not necessary because that soup totally worked, but I was blown away by this act of kindness. (Is it because I'm American?) Location is fantastic, with many small restaurants nearby along the beach as well the road, but the food here is so good you may not want to eat anywhere else. I'm still missing those Thai omelettes for breakfast and the pick-your-own fish option at dinner. We did enjoy the Funky Fish (a little bit up the beach) and Mama Dang's (right next door on the road). As others have noted, the beach here is best at high tide. The resort can help with scooter rental and Koh Lanta is not very crowded, so we had a blast exploring and going to nearby beaches, as well as Old Town Lanta on the other side of the island. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

我們一家人帶著孩子住在這家飯店。我們的別墅距離海灘非常近，別墅非常乾淨，一切正常。另外，我想說房間打掃得多麼仔細，所有東西都被清洗乾淨。該地區乾淨、整潔、美麗。海灘上有躺椅，沙灘和大海都很棒。早餐不是很清楚，他們給了你一個200泰銖需要選擇的清單。有一個200泰銖的綜合體，也有單獨的項目，但有40-80-120-140等等。所以要湊到200分是很困難的，早餐本身或多或少還是不錯的。白天我們也是按照菜單在飯店吃飯——好吃

Very nice staff and management. Strange breakfast arrangement when included. You have to pay 80 B extra for a late or cappuccino which was simply unacceptable considering the price. Bar and staff were fine. Rooms could do with being refurbished but were kept clean.

Before Lanta Castaway, we were staying in a non-air conditioned bungalow so the ac here felt great! (Honestly, we didn't feel like we needed the ac to stay cool enough since the weather in November was great, but the benefits of ac is that you can keep all the doors/windows closed to keep out mosquitos). The room was good sized and clean. The garden walkway to the beach was well groomed and pretty. Breakfast was included and it was good. The best part were the beds/chairs overlooking the ocean. It was a bit rocky at low tide, but at high ride it was easily swimmable. The staff were nice and kind, but it did not have the same home-like feel as other places.

We stayed here for two weeks in October 2023. The staff is absolutely amazing, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is super relaxed and the location is perfect. I seriously have nothing bad to say about this place. There is no play area for children or pool, and therefore not many children at the resort. However children are super welcomed by the staff :)
