Baan KanTiang See Villas - SHA Extra Plus

Absolutely everything about the hotel - great communication; very comfortable transport from KBV; a most warm welcome; the hotel is beautifully situated and decorated; big, clean villas equipped with everything you might need and more; A VIEW TO A KILL; huge terrace with privacy to suntan nude; large and deserted swimming pool; QUIET; the list can go on... May be the most relaxing and comfortable place I have ever visited. Thoy, the assistant manager, helped us with everything, arranged trips, brought food from restaurants, she is the gem of this place. Good restaurants in the area (Laughing Bird, Diamond Cliff), even better in Koh Lanta Old Town. Beach is very good, quiet and mostly empty.

Own transport - preferably a car, as bikes are not a safe transportation mode in Thailand - is absolutely necessary, unless walking up and down a steep hill to do shopping or go to the beach is something you like. Even more so to explore nearby attractions and restaurants - without a car you are left to either expensive (2x BKK prices) or not-so-safe taxis. We found (mid-Feb) the water in the sea to cause some itching, a bit like ant-bites - no idea why.

This place was fantastic. The views and location were incredible and the swimming pool was amazing. You do have to walk up and down a steep hill to get down to the beach/bars and restaurants but it was perfect for us and our 3 teenage children and if you need to get a taxi then there are plenty at Kantiang beach or they can be arranged by Thoy. The manager Thoy was an exceptional host. She provided us with ice cold flannels and a cold drink upon our arrival from Koh Yao Noi which was a nice touch. She organised taxi's when we needed them, takeaway food if we wanted to hang out at the villa and even arranged for restaurants to collect us from our accommodation and take us to a restaurant of our choice. 'Tuesday Morning' was a particularly good location although its worth the walk as you see loads of monkeys. Nothing was too difficult for Thoy to arrange and she was very attentive to our needs and i have to say is the best host i have encountered. Kantiang Beach was a perfect location for New Years Eve and we loved exploring all the restaurants and bars but we kept coming back to our villa (Number 8 - Green) and that view - a great spot for the midnight fireworks. Absolutely in love and we will definitely be back. Thank you Thoy for a fantastic stay

Nothing.......

the individual villas are beautiful and spacious and the views incredible. We liked how low key it was, very peaceful but also help on hand whenever we needed it.

nothing! it is up a steep hill which some people might find tricky but is totally fine and why the views are so amazing!

I could not recommend this place enough, an absolute GEM in Ko Lanta with the most amazing views, beautiful accommodation and unbelievably helpful staff. Especially Thoy, who went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay, as well as arranging transportation for us to the next part of our trip to Khao Sok. One more thing to add was the massive jug of water in our villa to refill our water bottles rather than having to buy more and more single use plastic. Brilliant idea and much appreciated :) We can’t wait to come back for longer!

The Villas were perfect for us. We enjoyed the quietness. Our Villa was spacious, nicely furnished, and clean. They are very sustainable, too. Every employee was very pleasant. Personally, I enjoyed their laundry service and their cleaning service - laundry will be washed the next day, and cleaning always was speckless. The cleaning ladies surprised us with a beautiful flower arrangement on our last day.

The best self catering villas we've ever stayed in...from start to finish we had a ball. Collected from boat by the owner and shown exceptional hospitality by Thoy. We hope to return for linger next time. Special features was breakfast ingredients, welcome card with hand written note...all above and beyond. Fabulous breathtaking views 😍. Beach only a short walk. Thank you so much.

Nothing

Awesome balcony overlooking pool and ocean with a full kitchen and great living room and smart TV with Amazon Netflix etc. awesome relaxing place

Ants on the bathroom floor but no other issue

Amazing villa. Very reasonable price and had everything we needed. Fresh flowers every day from the great housekeeping team. Pool was great with a view down to the Kantiang bay. Will definitely go back next year.

Steep walk up to the villa but good for some exercise. It was ok for us because we had motorbikes. Also the resort offered to drive us once a day if needed.

The houses are spacious, there is everything you need, the view to the bay is beautiful, staff is super friendly and helpful, the pool is a very relaxing salt-water pool, the whole place is very calm and peaceful, location is amazing close to the best beaches on the island.

I can't think of anything.

Tranquility and total independence from everyone. Spectacular.
