Popular Lanta Resort
Description
Two shared pools, a quiet bungalow garden and Klong Khong Beach a short walk away give Popular Lanta Resort far more holiday machinery than its small size suggests. The rooms are simple, clean and recently refreshed, with strong air conditioning and daily water and towel changes.
The location is the useful bit. A 7-Eleven sits almost next door, beach bars and restaurants are close, and the resort stays tucked back from the road. Rent a scooter nearby, then use this as a low-fuss base for crossing the island.
John runs the place with the sort of local knowledge that saves a lot of pointless map-staring. He can sort scooter hire and island trips, and speaks English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. The resident cats patrol the garden with the relaxed authority of creatures who have never paid for accommodation.
Pick Popular Lanta for a cheap, quiet bungalow near the beach, not for resort theatrics. The pools sit at a nearby partner property, so pack sandals.
