Saladan Hotels

You'll see some bizarre reviews around the Internet criticising very obscure things about Twin Lotus: ranging from too many crabs on the beach to snakes in the hotel grounds. Not entirely surprising for somewhere in the tropics and the hotel is hardly at fault! My wife and I stayed here out of peak season so the rates were 50% cheaper. The room and facilities were fantastic and the staff were lovely. Considering what we got for just over $100 AUD a night it was a bargain.

We booked this hotel pass Expedia.com easy and great service. This hotel quite good but not face to beach you can walk around 10 minute to beach. You can take motorcycle (for 4 passengers) to market 100 Bath per 1 ride. Restaurant opposite hotel price ok big plate.

room overlooked the main road which was not great. lots of hotels on Ko Lanta sound pretty similar and I booked the wrong one - beware! this one backs onto not the greatest beach on the island and the pool is very small - we were in low season but I imagine it gets busy at peak periods

We stayed for 3 nights and found the resort to be comfortable with very accommodating and service minded staff. We especially appreciated the hospitality of Jaruda. We don't typically use pools at beach resorts, but found this one to offer a nice retreat from the hot sun of the nearby beach. The pool bar has a limited menu but a great happy hour- 100 baht cocktails! The grounds are nicely landscaped and the beach is a short walk. Located at the end of Long Beach, there is some ok snorkeling around the rocks at this end. The beach front restaurant has a limited and somewhat overpriced menu. But there are many restaurants that line the beach front with toes in the sand tables. We especially liked Thai Cat- located just down the beach. And there is a nice massage tent located at the pool and one right on the beach- where we enjoyed a wonderful Thai massage with ocean breezes. We really enjoyed our stay.

The apartment was really lovely, nice spacious balcony with self catering in the 2 bedroom apartment. One thing to add the resort is great if you are planning to visit the gym/boxing stadium otherwise its not peaceful as the training starts in the morning and throughout the day and evening, you can't sit outside peacefully as the gym has no doors, even with the doors closed you can hear the boxing whilst you are asleep as they tend to start at 07:30. The resort only opened in December so they haven't really got it together, no hairdryer in the room, no umbrellas by the sun beds by the pool (only 6 sunbeds), we tried to order food on two occassions and was ignored twice so we gave up and ate outside. Breakfast is not included and none of the rooms have sea view although the booking says it does. No hot water for 5 days. Some improvements to be made. Overall really lovely and complete apartment, top quality

For the price that i paid for a bungalow (considering that it is not on the beach) i was expecting to find the room at least in a better condition, while it's quite old and in need of refurbishment. However, what the hotel is lacking is a restaurant. For the price paid for a bungalow, and considering that it is not on the beach (!), they should have a kitchen that at least serves breakfast.
