Right on the beach, amazing view and great food!

Coco Lanta Resort is one of those small yet cozy and comfortable places that one stumbles on once in a while. It is located on the Khlong Dao beach which in itself primarily has other resorts and a good coastline visible from the beach. Coco Lanta is right on the beach although they have no rooms which open on the beach but the beach is less than 1 minute walk from any of the rooms. The rooms are slightly different from what we expected - tiny ones with a bed and no cupboards. However, they are independent rooms each like a tiny house with a porch in front with chairs and table to sit and relax. The bathrooms are clean and spacious (no bathtubs). The pool is facing the beach and the resort offers a good view of the sunset everyday even from the pool. The restaurant in the resort has really good food - especially the fruit juices are amazingly refreshing and fresh. Do try the Stir Fried Chicken in Spicy Sauce, Stir Fried Chicken in Black pepper sauce and Phat Thai Noodles for a great meal! The restaurant has amazing view and low seating arrangement option as well to simply relax in the sea winds with a book in hand. There are conveniently located hammocks and beach chairs as well. The staff is quite friendly and warm and always willing to make you feel comfortable. Massages in the hotel are also a must try if you stay there. They are really value for money and the massage beds are located perfectly facing the beach so that the soothing wave sounds accompany a good massage. All in all - except for the room being smaller than our expectation, we had an amazing stay at Coco Lanta and we would to visit again!!
