I stayed at Ananda Lanta Resort for 11 nights, and honestly, it was a mixed bag. The friendly staff were a plus, but the overall maintenance and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The location had potential, being close to the beach, but the noise from the road wasn't great. If you're looking for a place to relax, this might not be it.

I had a pleasant five-night stay at this hotel. The room was spacious but felt a bit tired and sparsely furnished, lacking some basic amenities like a decent shower drain and furniture.

It's a decent value if you're looking for budget-friendly accommodation close to dining options.
