Lemonade Boutique Inn in Lanta Island

Pros: Great location – Klong Dao Beach is just a couple of minutes away via a concrete path to the left of the hotel entrance (though swimming can be tricky at low tide). It's also close to the good northern part of Long Beach. There's a decent-sized 7/11 right across the road. The hotel offers a terrace area with low tables and floor cushions, perfect for smokers. There's also a luggage storage room, handy for leaving bags for a few hours before or after check-in.

The beds are comfortable, and each room has its own bathroom (toilet, shower, sink). Plus, there are extra sinks near the reception, so no issues with washing up. The bed linen is good. There's a curtain, but it's for two people, not individual. Each bed has its own fan, plus a shared one. A kettle is also provided.

Cons: It's a bit pricey, comparable to a decent hotel in Bangkok. Check-out is at 11 AM instead of 12 PM. There's some road noise, but it's not critical; earplugs weren't needed. Air conditioning runs on a schedule, which seems to be a common practice in this area. More hooks are needed; even a couple of nails in the bathroom would be helpful. There's a large gap between the bed and the wall that's quite dirty – no need to move anything to clean it, and the dust, hair, and fur are very visible against the white linen. While I was there, they mowed the grass behind the hotel, but it's otherwise an overgrown wasteland. This space could easily be turned into a lounge area or smoking spot without much investment, perhaps just a tarp tent like at the Saladan night market, or ideally, a pool! On the opposite side of reception, there's an abandoned area with toilets and some other room. The potted palm trees are drying out.

Good but expensive. Comfortable bunk bed room, bathroom, and entry lounge area. Only complaint is the water plant propagations in the lounge and lobby are a breeding ground for mosquitoes — SO many larvae squirming around….Hard not to worry about mosquitoes at night (I avoided the area).

A chill hostel for a few days on the island, very well located

For the price it’s worth it!

Friendly staff and pleasant room

Hostel-style hotel with private rooms if needed. Very clean, well-located, and welcoming and accommodating staff.

I booked to stay a couple of nights in the lemonade boutique but unfortunately on the first day I was in an accident in koh lanta and was in hospital for a week. Staff at the lemonade boutique kept all my luggage safe for me until I was able to come back and collect it and they were very lovely wishing me a speedy recovery. The rooms were clean and well facilitated as well. Special shout out to plaa who was really lovely and helpful.

Great place to stay, nice clean room for perfect price.
