This hotel was amazing! I stayed with my husband, mother, and best friend. We booked 2 sea view villas, one for my husband and I and one for my mum and best friend. The villas themselves were outstanding - wonderful soft big beds and pillows, great bathroom with excellent water pressure, great air conditioning, mini fridge to store drinks in and nice patio seating right outside to enjoy the view of the oven. We got the breakfast included option and were treated to a wonderful buffet breakfast every morning which was a bonus. Short distance by taxi or tuk tuk to the walking street and other restaurants. My husband walked into town nearly everyday to visit some local food spots for lunch and enjoyed the walk. During our stay we booked 2 excursions through the hotel - an all day snorkeling excursion and an elephant sanctuary experience. Both were amazing!! Would recommend the elephant sanctuary to absolutely everyone. The beach was beautiful and the water was great. Barely anyone on the beach - very easy to find a chair or spread out a towel in the sun. It was jellyfish season, so there were a few washed up jellyfish on the sand but we were not afraid at all. My husband got lightly stung on his stomach but it went away within the day. If you are scared or have small children that would be scared maybe just be cautious. Night time there were a few sand flies - we all got bit quite a bit but we didn’t think to bring insect repellent so it was our fault. Still super nice!!

We enjoyed are stay at the property, but found certain areas untidy ,although there was signs stating that towels would be removed from sun beds that are not in use this never happened, so this limted the beds during the day. The food during the day was good, staff where polite.

Excellent overall, but a few weak suits
Recently spent four nights at Long Beach Chalet and, overall, completely understand why it gets such positive reviews. The beautiful beach front setting is idyllic (and a nice combination of sun and tree shade), the grounds in general invite complete relaxation, the room was beautiful, clean and well-appointed, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. We fell short of a five-star review because: 1) Before arriving, we were under the impression that it was a full-service operation with regards to tours, etc., but we were basically handed a binder with outside options to look into ourselves. We could, and did, but it was a bit disappointing and surprising. 2) While the food was excellent, the service at Lym's was sub-par in terms of excessive wait times (even when not busy) and friendliness. Definitely not typical Thai warmth and hospitality from our experience. The tone seemed to have been set by the SV there at the time and was probably the least welcoming and attentive service we experienced in Thailand. Maybe we were just there at an off time, but we ended up eating off-premises a lot. 3) The pool, while nice, was full of kids the entire visit, making it an unattractive option for adults. Of course kids have as much right as anyone to be there, but some adult-only hours would go a long way. 4) The massage pavilion is right on top of too much activity and noise. Plenty of room elsewhere on the grounds for a more peaceful setting. All in all though, great place!

Loved and will definitely be back
We love this hotel and will be coming back! Next time we will definitely get one of the larger rooms or the beachside pavillions. The standard loft is nice and rustic but next time we fancy the luxury of the bigger deluxe ones. All the staff were very lovely, you have the beach virtually to yourself, theres normally no struggle for sunbeds and even multiple days I could have a Kabana to myself. We loved the experience here and didn't want to leave. Only negative feedback, sometimes at Lym's the service could be pretty slow even waiting over an hour for food and sometimes room service would come and not take away the dirty towels or empty glasses etc but these are minor points compared to the experience of staying there! all the staff were great, maybe they just needed one or two more to get things moving quickly.

Its location is not to be beaten - rooms in the garden area are very nice but being on the beach side (we tried both) is quite something. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Escape Coffee Bar serves some amazing coffee, perfect start to the day after a morning stroll on the beach.

Excellent treehouse stay at Koh Lanta!
I could not say enough good things about this resort. We stayed in a garden view room. Excellent location near the beach, two very nice pools, excellent restaurant and bar. Breakfast was probably the best we have had in Thailand so far. Easy to rent a scooter from the front desk to travel around the island. Very cool setup with a loft style room with outside bathroom and shower (still very private though). Would recommend 1000x over!

Weird and tiny bungalow
We booked the standard bungalow for our honeymoon. It looked great online, but in reality, it's a random, standalone, one-room building near where the motorbikes are parked. It was loud since the guests have a lot of motorbikes. You cannot enjoy sitting on your porch or have privacy because the bungalow is in full view of one of the main roads. It's absolutely tiny. The door to the bathroom is super short, so my husband repeatedly hit his head. If you want a bungalow, spend less money on the budget bungalow. We paid more money to be sorely disappointed.

LOVE LONG BEACH CHALET
WE LOVE LONG BEACH CHALET! We stayed here on the first leg of our 24 day honeymoon and they set the standard for comfort, breakfast, service, and value for the remainder of our trip. Pool...amazing! —> meticulously clean and quiet Service...amazing! —> my husband got food poisoning one day and “V” at the breakfast spot gave him special instructions and food to make him better. <3 Breakfast...YUM! Buffet style with loads of fresh fruit. Koh Lanta stoke our hearts and we would go back in a heartbeat, only staying at Long Beach Chalet.

We stayed in the beach front jacuzzi villa and it was perfect The sound of the waves and the walk across the grass to the beach was amazing The service was impeccable The room was clean and there are 4 bottles of complimentary drinking water as well as a coke, Fanta and 2 small packets of potato chips daily. A plate of fruit gets dropped off every afternoon as well Breakfast is plentiful and a vegetarian/vegan breakfast was made if requested The staff are amazing, in the breakfast area, reception and elsewhere. The restaurant does not have vegetarian options in the menu and it was hard to know if they understood what we meant by vegetarian food so we did not have dinner or lunch there. It is an advantage to ride a scooter on Lanta as it helps you to see the island which would be very hard by foot Overall an exceptional place to stay.

Worth a short visit mainly to enjoy the room view
Downside: rooms are quite small, shower is terrible (salty and slow current), local restaurant is awful (and way overpriced), the breakfast is too simple and too crowded with flies. Upside: Room view (Seaside villa) is the best I've ever seen, and overcomes the entire list of downside.

This was our first time visiting Koh Lanta and we loved it! We book a Garden Bungalow close to lobby of the hotel. At first we were wondering if we should have paid more and upgraded to a room closer to the beach but we were literally two minutes away from the beach and restaurant. On top of that, we loved driving around the island so the proximity of our room wasn't an issue. The staff was also extremely helpful in arranging transportation to our next destination. We are so happy with our time at the Long Beach Chalet. We'll be back soon!

Lovely resort on Long Beach
Had a great stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially will help exploring the island. Owner regularly stopped for chat at breakfast. Had a deluxe garden room which was really clean and comfortable, very quiet and had a lovely bamboo bed & hammock underneath to use if raining or too hot. Breakfast was a short walk to the beach through the garden & was a fabulous location to relax & enjoy an great variety of foods including eggs cooked especially for you. Had several meals in Lym’s bar where food was lovely & staff great fun. Both pool & beach had sunbeds available. There was also massages available next to the beach at very reasonable prices.

Low season visit, good value
Staff is very polite, close to beach, nice pools, restaurants and breakfast, but it was very noisy during the day due to electric saw cutting things behind the room frequently, toilet/shower is a separate room, outside of bedroom, with one step down and one step up, not convenient for getting up at night and even a little safety risk when you are sleepy.

Nice simple property and great staff
We stayed 3 nights in a beach side villa which was simply set out and clean and comfortable. The food and drinks at the bar were reasonably priced for a hotel in Thailand and the staff all round were fantastic and easy to communicate with. The only downside was on the day of arrival the beach was littered with rubbish and plastic bottles which apparently the tides this time of year bring in. However the next day the staff had cleaned up the section of beach in front of the hotel.
