My stay at Sanctuary Lanta was overall pretty chill, but there were a few hiccups. The location right on the beach was definitely a highlight for catching sunsets and just relaxing, but the bungalow I had was a bit of a letdown due to its musty smell and cleanliness issues. Still, I got to enjoy the nice veranda with a hammock, which made up for some of it.

The bungalow I stayed in was dark, kind of musty, and not the cleanest. The bathroom had some bugs crawling around, and there were no mirrors, which was a bummer. I think the air-conditioned bungalows closer to the beach might've been a better option.

Service

Service was decent but could be confusing with the bar situation and party noise. One night, I was kept up late by loud music and DJ equipment when I had an early diving trip the next day.

The place is directly on the beach, which is awesome for sunset views and lounging without shoes. It’s hard to beat that location, really.

The restaurant was alright, but I could see myself getting tired of the menu after a week. Prices are pretty high compared to places just a short walk away.

Basic facilities like housekeeping and laundry were available, but nothing too fancy. I appreciated the tours/ticket assistance they offered.

My stay at Sanctuary Lanta was truly enjoyable. with a beautiful bungalow just a stone's throw from the beach. The dining experience was a highlight, but I would have appreciated some complimentary drinking water like I've had at other places in Thailand. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at Sanctuary Lanta was mostly enjoyable, with lovely bungalows steps away from the beach and beautiful gardens. However, I did experience some noise disturbances from late parties that interrupted my sleep. Overall, the beach access and cozy setting were highlights, but a few improvements could enhance the experience.
