The location was amazing, right on the beach and only a short walk to great restaurants! The staff were super friendly and willing to help with anything.
The room was nice, clean enough, the only real complaint I have is that the bed was very old and we could feel every spring in it. Other than that things were good.
What a wonderful little gem hidden just outside of Saladan.
The staff are so welcoming, kind and helpful. We stayed for just 2 nights but loved everything about this amazing place. Stunning location on a great beach which is perfect for children.
Rooms are basic but spacious with large bathroom area.
Food was great and service was wonderful gutted we didn't find this sooner.
Thankyou so much for everything x
The rooms were like hot caves, the brown ceilings and dark bedding just wasnt for us. However, the art work and main area decor was vibrant and attractive. Just a shame about the rooms. Our children were terrified!
Nice little artsy hotel / bungalow right on the beach

We had a fantastic stay, the location is great and one the beach. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. It was really quiet due to the low season so the atmosphere around the restaurant was a bit slow. The rooms are fairly basic but the price reflects this.

The staff are very welcome and warming. It will be better if there’s less light and noise pollution.
It was nice and relaxing and really friendly staff. The breakfast is alacarte and ok, but it gets boring if you stay for a longer time. The pool was really nice with kids zone. Our room was spacious, lots of colurs, TV didn't work, housekeepers could do a better job at cleaning bathrooms. The beach has fine sand, is clean, without too many rocks, sometimes it's windy. We enjoyed our stay and we would come back.
I stayed in the hostel portion of this resort and it was great! The staff are very kind and friendly and offered several times to let them know if there was anything at all that I needed!
The hostel building, rooms, and beds were very clean, and it was a one minute walk or less to the beach, restaurant and pool! The pool was kept pristine throughout my stay, and the ocean is literally steps away!
The hostel mattresses were a bit harder than I am used to, but most of my time was spent on the beach or in the pool, so it wasn’t an issue. The air conditioning worked great to keep cool after the long days in the sun, and the hostel was nice and quiet at night.
Overall this is an absolute gem with the perfect location, and friendly, caring staff! I would highly recommend this hostel and resort!
Wow. My husband, daughter and I were a part of a larger group of four families who all stayed at The Cha-Ba Lanta Resort over Chinese New Year. The resort itself is a little dated, but really perfect for families as you don't have to worry about the staff being precious about noise or anything else really. All teh staff were fantastic! We parked ourselves on one of the beach tables and watched the kids play on the beach and on the surf. I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you have kids. The one thing I'd say though is the hot water was quick to run out and the wifi was a pain to get connected and stay connected. But these things might be problems at all the resorts on the beach. Great trip and I'd definitely go back.
Large room, terrible bed.... bed in Thailand tend to be firm but could also feel the springs. Breakfast very slow ( over 1 hr), limited and not tasty. Good location, right on the beach. Had room by pool facing the beach. Unfortunately delayed check in , which can happen, they stored our bags. And we went for lunch. Pool small.... used mostly by the kids. Good restaurants nearby and 7-11
Can not fault this hotel for the price we paid. Got a great last minute deal. Beautiful clean pool that rolls onto the beach front. Large nicely decorated rooms and friendly staff. Only down is the bed was hard and shower cold.

OK for the price.
The hotel is in a great location right on the beach. The front desk lady was very friendly and showed us round. The room was spacious but didn't feel very clean and was very dark. The food at the Piccaso restaurant attached is awful. Do not eat here! Stay here if you are on a budget. If not look for something a little more expensive.
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights after arriving by bus from Siem Reap. The hotel was good overall. The only compliant would be it's location. Unfortunately, it was very far removed from the centre of town with little choices for dinner. Also given the location, we spent a lot more than we planned to on tuk tuks.
I visited for 5 days at the end of October and had a lovely time. This section of Koh Lanta is developed with cute bars and restaurants, but not overrun with tourist. There is an amazing yoga studio, OASIS, right next to the hotel. The rooms are basic, but very clean and the fridge is handy for keeping drinks or snacks. The staff is very kind and will give recommendations for the area. I hope to return!
Great little place in the middle of a fantastic beach and lots of restaurants around. The restaurant on site is very good though, staff very friendly. Guy running it is an interesting character and he is always helping the guests. Fabulous sunsets. Lots of shops, restaurants, atm, travel shops etc nearby.
I think this place is better if you have children as there are so many staying there. Take earplugs as the local mosque wakes you up early!
Bungalow alldeles vid stranden och utsikt över dag/kvällssol.
Städning varje dag ~ skedde endast om man sa till. Upplevdes ganska smutsigt.
Ingen bäddmadrass vilket kändessom att sova på betong.
Svajigt nätverk och strömavbrott titt som tätt.
Personal Im Restaurant sehr freundlich , Housekeeping ist eine katastrophale faul langsam schmutzig und fragen bevor sie arbeiten nach Trinkgeld unverschämt, an der Rezeption Service ganz okay. 5 Tage kein warmes Wasser trotz der vielen Reklamationen, Bett aus Beton mit einer sehr alten Matratze ( vielleicht 30 oder 40 Jahre alt) eine Steckdose für alles , keine Richtige Decke. Alles in allem tolle Lage alles andere kannst Du 100% vergessen
Läget var toppen! Alldeles på stranden. Mysig restaurang. Lummigt, färgglatt, Trevligt med pool och bra personal i restaurang och reception.
Rummet kändes dock ofräscht, toaletten luktade riktigt illa hela vistelsen, väldigt mycket mygg, myror i rummet fast vi höll stängt. Sängarna otroligt hårda, och vi är inte petiga!
Sonen fick utslag över hela kroppen, vet inte om det var bedbugs eller från poolen. Kommer tyvärr inte tillbaka hit.
