Sayang Beach Bungalows, Koh Lanta Yai, Phra Ae Beach
We were very pleased with the accomodation,which was classed as a superior room.It had everything we needed like A/C,fridge,TV,ensuite bathroom,veranda with hammock,and yet retained a rustic appeal with bamboo furniture and walls etc.It also had a 4-poster double bed with mosquito netting.There weren t undue amounts of mosquitoes,so it was just an added extra.The resort is on the beach,and out bungalow was near the beach surrounded by bouganvillia and tropical plants.It wouldn t have mattered if the room was not near the beach as the whole area is delightful and has a safe,family feel to it.Maximum time to reach the beach from furthest bungalow...3 mins.Garden was kept very well,and restaurant on the beach meant you didn t have to go far for a Thai or Indian meal.The breakfast was EXCELLENT,served in an open sided sala;even a good choice for us vegetarians.Relaxed atmosphere and personal attention of owner who made it feel like a nice homestay .A safe at reception meant we could leave our valuables without worry and we also had a free transfer to and from the ferry at Saladin which was great.Can t think of any negatives!It was wonderful!
Excellent.no problems.Queries answered promptly.

its a pity, that today i am the one with a negative comment although all other love that resort, but i dont understand why they do. let me explain:
we booked the deluxe villa at sayang for thb 2250. deluxe in that
hotel is a very basic standard bungalow, where the door was not fully
closeable, so the mosquitos and other insects come into the room.
There are holes about one centimeter in the floor -) insects
again ...
No safety box, no coffee/tea making facilities, an empty
refrigerator, only cold water in the shower (no possibility to change
temperature), only one towel for beach and room together. thats all
usually standard in that category in asia! we go to asia twice a year
and we are not used to stay like that!
That room would be worth max. (!) the thb 1200 what it costs in low season
but definetely not 2250. The luxury villa has worth of a usual superior bungi (a small one ...).
Furthermore we chose sayang because of the picture of the sawadee
homepage where sunbeds on the beach are shown. but they arent there
like that. the regarding law is not the reason, because lanta resort in the neighbourhood has more than 20 ...
finally the hotel is old and dirty, not even the tishclothes at
breakfast are clean (do not even talk about the toilet :O(
sayang is really awful, we checked out after one night and had to pay a penality for early check out although it is not our fault that the hotel
offers deluxe when they are only able to offer backpacker-style !
anyway, you´ll get a better worth for your money!
one positive point: yes the breakfast is yummi as written from another commenter ;O)
perfect if everything works well, help yourself if you have troubles

spendide ! magnifiques bungalows sous les cocotiers au bord d une plage de rêve. jardins autours bien entretenus et bien fleuris, l éclairage de nuit avec ses lampions lui donne un air de fête. Excellent petit déjeuner très copieux (buffet), personnel aux petits soins et restauration exellente
rien à dire, tout est parfait

it was a rustic hotel with a good deluxe room. If you have a little more money book a luxury villa as its just amazing. Its worth mentioning water as its pristine,deep, clear and a beautiful green colour. Surprisingly there is no jelly fish and if there is it doesnt sting. the food is absolutely delicious at the hotel restaurant especially fish. you would have to wait for it though as in the evening loads of people come from the other hotels to eat here. the manager is a really good guy who works hard to make guests happy and sometimes looks really exhausted. but you can ask him anything and you would definitely get it.
flawless

Really nice. Close to a fantastic beach! Should definitely book this hotel again. Restaurant kind of slow sometimes but really friendly staff. Shower had a low pressure.
Perfect as always!!

The cleaning was worthless, the toilet was broken and the bathroom had ventilation holes which let mousquitos come in the bungalow. Maybe i Should mention that we hade the beachfront bungalow which were suppose to be the crown-jewel.
The position of the bungalow and the bungalow itself was amazing(beside the mosquito thing)
The breakfast mediocre but the á la carte restaurant was great.
Great

Very nice bungalows and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The staff is very friendly. The beach is beautiful and not so many people. We really enjoyed our stay there.
