Hotel berhampiran Hin Ngam Beach, Daerah Ko Lanta

“Nice Resort on Long Beach” Want a Sands is a nice resort on one of the best beaches in Thailand. Pool Access room was excellent and the buffet breakfast was very good. Lots of variety for either western or Thai food and very tasty. The staff at the resort are top-notch. Derek the manager and his team are committed to you enjoying your stay at the resort. Lots of families at the resort but also a great location for couples wanting to experience a wonderful resort on a beautiful beach in Koh Lanta. Highly recommend “Fabulous location on the beach! ” Fabulous hotel overall. Fantastic location next to the beach, and there was so many pools to use. We had a room with pool access and it was fantastic. The only thing, I wish the fitness room would’ve been slightly bigger but it was still good. Would definitely stay here again! All the staff at reception were lovely and made sure to always help when it was needed! Definitely recommend.

We planned to stay a few days but ended up staying for a week. The cottages are small ish but very clean and the bed was very comfortable, which is probably the most important thing for me when I travel. A lovely little veranda outside (with electric plugs) , and on some days I put the fan there and did some work on my laptop. The beach is 5 minute walk with a few restaurants and cafés along the way. The owner and his friend Suzan are really laid back and helpful. We booked our trips, scooters and laundry service there and prices were better than at any of the nearby agencies. No breakfast facilities but there are multiple breakfast places 2 min away. It's not a 5 star resort but we had everything we needed: a comfortable, clean place by probably the best swimming beach in Lanta.

The bungalows are very nice with a great little sitting area on the porch, including a hammock to chill. Better yet, you can hear the ocean from said balcony. Besides that the reception can also help you with booking of any of the trips you may be into around the island and they have a set of their own motorbikes for rent.

Tamarind Twin resort is a very comfortable resort, clean, modern large rooms, very comfortable beds, plenty of storage space & a nice bathroom, the hot water is hot just not very fast coming out of the shower. The staff are friendly & very helpful. Breakfast is available at a cute little cafe 50m away at very reasonable prices & good food. Tamarind is easy to find, they also hire scooters & about 10mins by scooter from Ban Saladan port/town. Also lots of Tuk Tuks around if you need a taxi. The resort is walking distance around 100mtrs from the beautiful Long Beach of white sand & turquoise sea. The resort also has a nice pool. Definitely would stay again.

Very close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Excellent service and is maintained clean. Breakfast is abundant and location is superb.

Zu empfehlen sind auf jedenfall die beiden Villen mit Meerblick. Schön, relativ sauber, vernüftig ausgestattet aber vergleichsweise teuer. Die Badewanne bzw. der Duschevorhang im Duschbereich sind eher Geschmacksache. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist in unserem Fall nahezu ausreichend, hätte aber noch genügend Luft nach oben. Beispielsweise gibt es keine Kuchen usw. Das Personal ist meist freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Sensationell ist der wunderbare Strand und der Meerzugang. Fazit: schönes Resort und waren wahrscheinlich nicht das letzte Mal hier

事實上除了kwun先生。 其他人都不怎麼微笑。 還不如賣泰國小吃的商販笑得燦爛。 作為一個定位比較高的酒店。 錢你收得開心的同時。 你的服務水準，你的衛生環境，你的地理位置，你的各項配套設施也要跟上。 其中服務人員的綜合素質非常重要。 同理心也很重要。 戴頭巾的女士（對白人微笑，對中國人冷漠），帶我們去到酒店房間。 有兩間空房，讓我們衹用其中一間房。 當然我們一家三口確實沒必要。 但不是你可以向我提出來的。 因為我默認支付的是整個房間的費用。 不管有幾間房我認為我有權利使用。（最後我們沒有使用因為不想讓打掃清潔的員工受累，確實我們也用不上） 因為定了下午五點去甲米機場。 所以酒店退房（下午2點）以後。酒店的BOSS安排了另外一個別墅給我們休息。非常感謝。 不過戴頭巾的前台女士，卻領我們到了沒有空調的客廳。 7月份還是很熱。這點讓我不舒服。 不知道是頭巾女士自己的主意，還是酒店boss的決定。 大家別噴我，住免費房還挑三揀四，前一天我直接提的是加錢延時退房多少錢。 kwun先生說免費。我才決定就在酒店休息的。。 如何當時知道價格太高或者沒有空調，我直接會單獨定一個價格便宜的酒店休息也沒關係。 原本boss的好心，被頭巾女士帶到客廳休息，我睡了又熱醒了。 難受。 後面又向boss申請了，去卧室有空調的間房睡。 酒店boss也同意了。 但不知道為什麼多出這一段曲折。 最後，我離開時，放了100泰銖給打掃房間的人。 下麪放和boss的聊天截圖。 我實在沒辦法理解，既然給我免費休息的別墅，但又不給我空調房的操作是為了什麼。？ 最後再次感謝kwun先生的幫助。 謝謝。 下麪是和酒店boss（也許是管理者）的微信對話。

We spent 11 night here with my husband and 9-year-old son, and we all really loved the place! We stayed at the Pond room, and even had a partly sea view. I highly recommend booking Pond room instead of little cheaper Deluxe room. Pond rooms are all close to the pool and other services, whereas Deluxe rooms can be really high up the hill. We are not afraid of hills or steps, but even for us climbing all the way up felt quite exhausting (we did this once). Good: - The room was always clean and with good amenities. - Nice pool area(s) - Thaiboxing facilities a nice extra - Really good breakfast with anything you can ask for. Cappuccino etc. can be ordered (free). - You can walk (15min?) to nearby beach with many restaurants (you do need some adventurous mindset and a good flash light in the evening, though). You just need to locate the small wooden bridge and ignore the gaps :D - Nice restaurants short drive away (Coco Tango our absolute favorite with stunning view at sunset), drivers always flocking outside the resort gate. - Also some casual restaurants on walking distance and even right across the gate. - The spa was divine (though really, really expensive on Thai standards - one hour massage was something like 50 € with the happy hour discounts 😅) Not so good: - The bed is HARD. I mean _really_ hard. I was really surprised to find the bed to be such poor quality in a five star resort. I was sore the whole stay as it was impossible to sleep nicely. Even though I loved the place, this is the reason I would not return --＞ So, if someone at the hotel is reading this, please do invest in softer mattresses! (or even soft mattress topper) Good to know: - The monkeys invaded the resort area few days before we left. The staff did their best to keep them out, but still we had few encounters with aggressive monkeys, one of them even flashing teeth and rushing towards our son. I know, we're in the tropics and this could happen, but just to let you know to be cautious. - Some places were a little worn out (e.g. our terrace wooding was partly falling apart), so if you are looking for shiny and new, you might find these small flaws disturbing (we didn't mind). - Prices for food and drink are high (as one can expect in a five star place). - It is quite far away from Saladan, which is good to know if you for example dive (boats leave from Saladan, but dive shops do arrange the transportation, you'll just be the first and the earliest to be picked up) All in all, I do recommend this place, I just hope they would fix the bedding. It was really uncomfortable even on thai standards (we have been staying in much cheaper places with decent mattresses). Luckily there was heavenly spa that helped with the aching muscles 😜

This is our 4th hotel out of 7 on this particular trip but sadly comes in a bit lacking for me, I had very high expectations. Firstly on check we asked about hiring a moped. The girl on the tours desk barely looked up from her phone and said “no”. We managed to rent one down the road at Miami but this is the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in Thailand that doesn’t help with motorbike rental. We didn’t approach her for anything else as for me, first impressions last. Our room was okay, can’t imagine when booking why I thought a bath on the balcony was a good idea! My bad! There was tons of wardrobe space and the bed and pillows were comfy. Lacked conditioner & body lotion which I’ve found in other hotels. Generally the room was a bit tired and needed a good deep clean. The bathroom mirror hadn’t been cleaned since the last guest and we had ants around the sink on day three. The shower had very intermittent water temperatures and had black mould at the bottom near the drain. Also tea/coffee spills on the floor that hadn’t been mopped. The communal areas I also found to be grubby and unkempt. No-one sweeps up leaves and they get mingled with bits of rubbish. The sunbed areas aren’t mopped so drink spillages give sticky dirty patches. You get the gist. Breakfast was really good, plenty of choice and half decent coffee. I just found the ambience to be generally quite standoffish and unfriendly, apart from Mr Bunty who was lovely. Most days we went out to Horizon Bar on the beach, much nicer vibe. There are no showers or foot washes between the beach and the pools which results in the pool being full of sand. All in all I have been disappointed, for the price I expected better. Small improvements would make this hotel much better.

我很感激建築設計師，你們把這家酒店造得很美，尤其是臨海的一卧泳池別墅美極了！它給我們的第一印象是奢華的、震撼的！這個酒店最貴的房型在同一片海灘上是獨一無二的。此外，就算你定的是普通房型，你也能享受美麗的公共的泳池。 然而，與其昂貴的價格並不相匹配的是它的服務。除了老闆娘，其他的員工包括酒店前台、餐廳服務員都無法用英語正常交流，導致入住過程諸多不便。不論是哪種房型，就連四千一晚的別墅泳池房也是沒有任何歡迎水果，或任何其他增值服務、小物品給您“貴賓”的感受。房間的清潔服務很不及時，總是在客人在的時候做清潔好尷尬！並且清潔做得比較馬虎，桌子都沒擦… 此外，自助早餐主要是針對西方人的麵包和雞蛋，但是沒有奶酪、沒有冷切肉，連果醬、酸奶都衹有一種口味，我是有看到其他老外顧客失望的眼神。當我們問及是否有亞洲早餐，服務員告訴我們：對不起，沒有！好吧…連續四天一成不變的早餐實在有點乏味，最後一天我們還吃到了非常不新鮮的麵包… 喝的方面，沒有鮮榨果汁，不過好在酒店的現磨咖啡是真的好喝。 此外，雖然泳池酒吧衹有一位員工當值，但是他做出來的雞尾酒確實不錯，尤其是老闆推薦的mango daiquira口感讓人驚喜，比我們後來去的島上第一名的某五星酒店更為好喝。大家一定要試一下。 總之，我們在酒店還是度過了美好的假期，畢竟旅遊在外，心態很重要。衹是每當想起我們支付的價格，內心就覺得不值呀……
