We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights. It's a beautiful hotel, built on a cliff and there is a great view to the sea. There is a very good atmosphere, relaxing and quiet although there were a few families with children but there were a lot of couples too. The food was very good and so was the service and the staff. The town of saladan is very close- 5 min drive- there are free shuttles from the hotel and you can get a tuk tuk from the taxi station at the enterance of the hotel for 50 bht per a person. recommended in saladan- "the frog" restaurant and the "barracuda bar". the closest beach to the resort is klang dao- there are a lot of resorts and restaurants there and a few bars- we recommend the "indian" bar on the beach, and bar & restaurant with good and chip food- "vee vew". on the street of klang dao there is a very nice bar called "fat monkey"- to get to klang dao you can either take a nice walk on the beach which takes 20-25 min or take a tuk-tuk for 50 bht a person which takes 5-7 min. The beach after "klang dao" is "long beach" and on the street there are a few good places- "galaxy" bar&resturant, "funky monkey" bar and an excellent restaurant called "red snapper".
we had a great time in lanta and its definitely on of the best resorts on the island!
