Eco Lanta Hideaway Beach Resort

Eco Lanta is the most beautiful place we stayed at during our holiday: authentic atmosphere right at the beach with stunning sunsets. Very comfortable and large bed in a beautiful and spacious Thai style bungalow with a large veranda. Good airconditioning. Staff is very friendly and serve good food. Did I mention the amazing views from the terrace (aka beach) already? I love this place!

Although the bungalows are overall very comfortable they are not perfect five star rooms. The bathroom is a bit basic with sometimes limited water flow from the shower ( but it gets you clean) The bungalow is split level so you must be able to take some steps when going from your bed to the bathroom dor instance. The resort visibly suffered a lot from the pandemic but they are working hard every day to repair and upgrade everything.

We stayed 18 days at this Hotel and were absolutely happy. I can not really understand the bad comments here because if you see the pictures you know what to expect. This is a resort which is simple, rustique and authentic. We had a great time because of this reasons. what we liked the most: it was simple but had an air condition. we had a lot of space to sleep in the main room with our daughter, no one had to sleep somewhere else. nevertheless it was good to know there was a second room. we also had a lot of space on the terrasse. there was not just 2 chairs, we had two long benches with space for everyone and a hammock! we also had a lot of space for our belongings and quite a lot of power outlets. if you like nature this is also a very nice place for you. there were a lot of plants, in the morning you could hear a lot of birds. yes, the way from the main street is not made of concrete and this is beautiful. it is passable for vehicles and nice to walk. during day time it has shadow. let‘s say: the resort had everything we needed and we would recommend it. it is not a luxury resort. I wish there would be more places like this in thailand.

The resort has a beautiful setting on Long Beach and was perfect for watching sunsets (the resort is conveniently located about the halfway along the beach). The bungalow we stayed in was simple, but well-maintained with a large master bedroom and decent-sized bathroom. Also, the porch had plenty of seating space, including a hammock. The resort manager was really friendly, as were his pet huskies and cat! He recommended great day tours and helped us to book them. Other staff at the resort were attentive and helpful too. The resort breakfasts were nice, especially the pancakes. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the resort and being on Koh Lanta.

My only suggestion would be to provide some extra sun loungers. Although there was a good number of them already, most were taken up by late-morning (the hammocks were often available though, and we could always find a free table in the restaurant area).

Rustic charm with bamboo huts. Very friendly staff, live music, excellent food, chilled vibe. Good AC, comfortable bed. Great massage near beach. We had two bedroom bungalow which worked well for our family. Location was great and near other restaurants if you want to mix things up. Eco conscious and have water facility where you can refill your bottles.

It is a bit tired and imagine still recovering financially from not having tourists over Covid period. The pool is not good and always full of leaves from trees above.

Very relaxed place. We felt very comfortable and happy and the beach was on our doorstep so to speak :) beds were super comfy and clean, the mosquito net was great addition. If you want an authentic experience in a bamboo hut this place is for you. Veranda and hammock. I really liked it there. Great price too. Staff are all very helpful and pleasant and you can book tours/ ferry etc and it’s easy to hire scooters here too.

There is work being done on the pool at the moment but it will soon be finished, as it’s going to be salt water pool. But the beach is there so who needs a pool! I didn’t really mind. Resort was closed for 3 years over covid hard for everyone so it’s being refreshed now step by step. I can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful and peaceful location, right on the beach. Comfy bed and easy to explore the island by scooter - rented from the manager. The natural salt water pool is cooling and inviting. Ahmed the manager was very friendly and he has 2 very beautiful dogs and a cat. He was helpful when we had a power it during a storm and helped ease my fears of flooding when the waves were huge and the tide was high.

There is some work that needs to be done to make the resort facilities back up to where they were pre-Covid, for example - restaurant and massage were not in operation. This is totally understandable - especially as I visited in the low season.

The biggest asset of this resort is its location and the amazing natural shade (huge trees giving shade onto the beach and even the sea in the morning!). Almost none of the resorts/hotels have it! Despite the huts being a bit worn down, they are still ok, clean, and AC works. The food in their restaurant is good value for money, the breakfast as well. We loved mango smoothies! The massage is amazing at 400 BHT, it's in an open space hut, overlooking the beach so you're istening to the waves instead of a cheesy elevator music - loved it. The staff is very friendly and helpful! There's also a really cool and unpretentious bar called Singhtos. It's great to hang out and get useful information about Koh Lanta!

The wear and tear of the huts are becoming evident. It's a bit like camping :) Not sure the ECO part is really the center of their attention (plastic straws) or at least understood by their staff. Nevertheess, we would still return to this place for our next holiday in Thailand.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Eco Lanta Resort. It was low season when I was there so it was very quiet and calm, which is exactly what I wanted. The staff were so friendly and helpful and there was a lovely family atmosphere. If there was anything I needed I could just ask and I was well looked after. The room was comfortable, with all the amenities working properly. I spent most of my time on the balcony overlooking a beautiful view of the trees and beach, which was incredibly relaxing. A lot of thought and care has been put into Eco Lanta with a heavy use of bamboo to construct almost everything.

The only reason I moved on (after staying for 3 weeks!) was that I am currently suffering from chronic fatigue and found the steps inside the bungalow quite tiring to go up and down. This wouldn't have bothered me had I not been unwell, and I was so comfortable there in every other sense I stayed for a few weeks regardless.

If you want to connect with the Earth, and you care about the ecology, this is your place. The natural bamboo cabins are super comfortable with clean bathrooms and ample hot water, a fridge, comfy beds and good interior lighting (and AC if you need it, I didn't). There is great porch seating where you can feel indoor/outdoor with the environment. The overall very spacious grounds are in a beautiful forest that they didn't cut down the way many other hotels have, so you are in the environment, not separate from it. Just walking around the grounds itself is pleasurable, so you don't need to leave to connect to nature. Breakfasts are served under the shaded trees at the ocean's edge at nice bamboo tables and there is comfortable furniture to lay down on next to the beach. This is also the kind of place you want to be if you like walking outside at night under the stars and moonlight and it is immediately adjacent to beautiful Long Beach, which you can visit day and night and swim in the usually gentle waves and comfortable warm water. The management is friendly, helpful and eco-conscious. They will make arrangements for you for local transport in vans and boats. In my case, I needed minor medical attention and they arranged a transport to and made an appointment for me at a great local clinic. The maid service is also great. High season or low season, this place is a great value and worth the price. Also several good restaurants easy walking distance.

Very beautiful wooden houses in a hideaway sort of surrounding, right on the Long Beach. There is an on-site restaurant which was quite ok, but there is also so many other venues just a short beach walk away which makes the place even better. Area around the houses is nicely maintained with lots of greenery. The area outside the resort (toward the street) doesn’t offer much but you don’t really need to much anyways - we were able to book day trips, go for some western breakfast and rent scooters, otherwise we much more preferred to stay near the beach - swimming in the sea and walking along the beach.

The cabins make for a nice change to a regular hotel room, but I wouldn’t say that they were the most comfortable as the mattress was on the wooden floor and you need to take quite a bit step to get up there. I loved it as I like a change, just warning for others. We also had to sleep under the canopy as there were many mosquitos.
