Hotel Resort & Spa : Thailand Hotels & Resorts Reservations

"We booked Lanta All Seasons by chance because of its proximity to the dive operator we were with. We got the understanding that Lanta All Seasons was bought over by Lanta Pura Resort, both resorts are just next to each other. Of course Lanta All Seasons is older & rooms are a little smaller than those of Lanta Pura. Both resorts now share same amenities like the pool, etc. Here are our likes & dislikes from our 2 nights stay:Likes:1) Facing pool but can also see part of the sea2) Clean room with clean attached toilet (no bathtub but just shower)3) Rooms & windows with mosquito nets so possible to leave doors open since there is a net to prevent mosquitoes from entering room.4) Lovely long rectangular pool (2 of them)5) Just in front of the sea and during low tide, really pleasant walk by the beach. 6) Lovely beach front resort with beautiful seaview7) Reasonable breakfast - toast, cheese, yoghurt, fried noodle or rice, juice, water, pancakes, eggs, omelete, salad & fruits.8) Staff are pleasant though limited English speaking staff9) Good location, near to shops, restaurants, pier, etc, yet quiet since is at corner/end of the road.Dislikes:1) Stray dogs & cats, especially in the morning & night2) Terrible stench from the small drain/canal between (or separating) Lanta Pura & Lanta All Seasons.3) We had 2 rooms at Lanta All Seasons, one was pleasant & spacious, but the other room had bad stench.4) Poor control of mosquitoes, so come prepared with own electric repellent or coils5) Wifi only works at Lanta Pura but not Lanta All Seasons.Lanta All Seasons could be better if:1) Better control of mosquitoes & clear off stale water so that drain/canal does not smell2) Keep stray dogs & cats away from beach & restaurant & pool3) Improve Wifi so that guests staying at Lanta All Seasons can access Wifi too.Remember there are 2 buildings - Newer one is the Lanta Pura Resort & older one is the Lanta All Seasons. If ask around, most will know Lanta Pura but NOT Lanta All Seasons (though both are now under same management). Deluxe poolview room type makes good choice of stay, especially on the ground floor, since pool is just infront of these rooms. If prefer privacy, then ask for deluxe poolview on upper floor. Room Tip: Deluxe Poolview (Lanta Pura) has rooms just in front of the pool, so can be pleasant for families with children. For more privacy, ask for rooms on upper floor.
