Lanta Smile Resort @Longbeach

Our room was clean and got everything what we needed. there was enough space and it was good to sit in terass in evening. location is perfect, beach is just few minutes Walking and good reastaurants nearby. Staff was always ready to help when we needed some help.

This is a great little place with really helpful friendly staff who make you feel really at home. Rooms ( cute little bungalows) are quite spartan but very clean and spacious with comfortable beds, good quiet aircon and lovely wide veranda. They do great breakfasts and shakes v good value . There are plenty of restaurants and little supermarkets nearby. It would be great if there was somewhere to put clothes away rather than just shelves, but that wasn't a big deal. They also give you mosquito coils which is very helpful, and do laundry without charging which is unusual. Staff really good with helping organise trips, transport etc. The beach is 2 minutes down a little road. George the owner/manager is really friendly and full of useful information. We stayed 8 nights but honestly could have happily stayed a lot longer

I highly recommend the Blue Gecko. I initially booked for 6 days and extended my stay for an additional 10 days. The resort is very well located in Ko Lanta, in a quiet area but still near various restaurants on the beach and the main road, and less than 5 minutes walking distance to the beautiful Long Beach. The room was nice and clean and well-priced. It’s a great resort for solo travelers and families. The Blue Gecko offers motorbike rentals and can arrange transfers to other islands among other services. It does not have a restaurant on site but offers great juices from local fruits made from real fruits! and free coffee and tea in the morning. The entire staff was EXCEPTIONAL, special thanks to Su, Ci and George who went above and beyond to make sure my stay was as comfortable as possible. I’ll definitely come back!
