Sanctuary Lanta

Pros +

• Nice location and cool vibe. Being in a bungalow is fun, low water pressure and no aircon but this is expected in bungalow so not problem. However, the guests were a bit different. One man with scrapes and scratches always sat watching on his porch was drinking from morning till night was a bit uncomfortable. Also a slightly odd exclusive hippy vibe, very few people happy to chatmost folk staying here sat away from the social area but this is no real problem it just isnt so social. Owner is an English lady who wasnt friendly despite several attempts to find out about the island, seemed to resent having travellers. Also she got into a weird mood getting annoyed at us whilst complaining about how useless her staff was. We thought the staff were okay, not so sure about her.
• The room was nice, nothing fancy but it was well kept and clean. Great little balcony with a hammock. The community spirit was lovely and the location is fantastic, right on the beach. Theres beach bar with a lovely seating area and you can make dreamcatchers. I will definitely be back.
• We stayed in a beautiful bungalow just 50 feet from the beach. The grounds were kept meticulously clean and had beautiful trees and flowers! The restaurant served delicious food and drinks! We especially liked the breakfast burritos with homemade naan and chai! The family was very friendly and helpful. They also have a bar on the beach! There are massages available right there. This is a hidden gem at the end of the long stretch of beach!

Cons -

• The water pressure wasnt the best in my room but did the job!
