Good Days Lanta Resort Krabi

Recently stayed here in a large group of 9 adults and 4 children. Fabulous area for us as we had the place almost to ourselves! (It was low season) Breakfast, although included in our room rate was non-existent, or we were told what we were having! There were so many other lovely places to eat within a 5 minute walk though that it didn't matter and the room rate was still very reasonable without breakfast.

The location is excellent. Very quiet but a nice ride into the busier areas. We hired a Tuk Tuk bike from Jasmine mini mart just in front of the resort for 400baht a day which let us take the kids everywhere in relative comfort. It was also great for carting everyones bags/cameras etc.

The guy in charge was very pushy about excursions etc. and not very interested in providing any other service.

The rooms were lovely, ours was very spacious and was right in front of the pool- who could ask for more! Very comfortable for us with two small children. The rooms were well cleaned if you remember to put out your ""Make up my room"" sign.

I would definitely go back but be prepared to just sleep and relax at the 'resort' and eat and arrange excursions elsewhere!

Firstly, the good. The new beachfront bungalows are great, really spacious. The large grassy garden which is shaded and lovely for sunset. The bad..this is at the 'dead' end of Long Beach, no action and a canal to wade through to access beach.

Staff the most unfriendly, corrupt and altogether creepiest we have encountered on 8 trips all over Thailand..only out to make commission on excursion sales, 'Chai' a completely dishonest sleazebag that put us all of the place. Lied about the pool only having problems since that morning..do they not think we speak to other guests? The pool is lovely but no water for 2 of our 3 days and then it was only just filled up, not cleaned nor treated. Chai asked us every avail minute if we wished to book on an excursion (which I booked elsewhere for 1,000 baht less) He lied that there were no mini coach places available so he could push us to book a private van and get more commission (plenty of places available we booked elsewhere).

The feeling at the place is very uncomfortable and I really couldn't recommend staying there in spite of its assets. I would recommend closer up towards Nakara and all the bars and restaurants. Have a few nights at Waterfall Bay at Anda Lanta...very nice. No Good times at Good Days.
