Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Lanta Palace Beach Resort & Spa is a small adults-only hotel for guests aged 18 and over on Klong Toab Beach, and much of its appeal lies in its size. The bungalows sit in carefully kept gardens that lead to the pool and an almost private stretch of sand, and the staff greet guests by name. Guests return to the same points: attentive but unobtrusive service, a breakfast that guests look forward to and a beach restaurant that serves good Thai food close to the water. The quiet setting has a flip side, however. There is little to walk to beyond the beach and Klong Nin nearby, and Krabi International Airport is 84 km away. Prices are high for Thailand, and a few details, from the hairdryer to the Wi-Fi, lag behind the rest. Couples and honeymooners who plan to stay put will find a calm, personal resort; families with children cannot stay here.
Guests score it 9.7 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list on Koh Lanta is 9.2.

- The staff are what guests mention most. Guests are greeted by name, describe the team as friendly without being intrusive, and many mention individual staff members at breakfast and in the restaurant.
- The resort sits on a sandy stretch that guests describe as almost private. Even in busy months such as March, guests say they never struggled to find a lounger.
- Apart from the beach and Klong Nin nearby, there is not much to walk to, so most guests either stay put or arrange transport to explore the island.
- Value for money is where guests are most critical, and some point out that the resort is expensive for Thailand, even if they felt it was worth it.
