Moonlight Bay Resort in Lanta Island

This hotel has quite a few different room offerings. We had a Pool Access room, which was great. The pool water was glorious. Because of the sprawled setup of the hotel, you have a short walk from our room block to the bar and main pool. We didn’t spend much time in our room, but we did spend the end of the day at the bar enjoying the wonderful sunsets. That sunset is well worth staying at the hotel.

I was also introduced, for the first time, to hermit crabs that would scurry along the beach sand — what a treat.

We had the BBQ, which was superb, and really enjoyed the fire show organised by the hotel.

Staff: The staff were always super helpful, and it was obvious that they were genuine in their approach. I absolutely loved the energy of the bar lady that makes a mean Piña Colada. We had the pleasure of having drinks with Frederico, the GM, and it was obvious that he has a massive passion and sense of dedication for this property and his staff.

Location: The location was perfect, and we found the most gorgeous Klong Nin Beach about a seven-minute ride away.

A quiet hotel, a bit of from other restaurants and night life. Stayed at a Beach front villa, a good sized room with the most beautiful view of the ocean and sunset. The room had a smell of sewage that came and went, noticed that the rest of the hotel sometimes had that smell. We have experienced that at other hotels in Thailand as well.
Very good breakfast (à la carte). Small private beach for the hotel.
Absolutely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a relaxing few days.

Lovely chilled place! We had a Villa with 2 terraces overlooking the sea. Room is cleaned well. It was up on the cliff-side so a bit of a trek to get to but worth it!
The pool is small it sweet but there are plenty of loungers round the pool and overlooking the beach.
The bar has a lovely sea view. Food is good in the restaurant too.
Staff are delightful.

From the moment we arrived there, me and my husband knew this place would be amazing. The hotel area is clean and well maintained, there’s a private beach - you can swim a little bit, check out the coral reefs and see nemo fishies and plenty of beautiful sea shells (just don’t take them), bar, restaurant and massages right by the sea. The sunsets were incredible to watch from the bar area or from the beach itself. The place itself was amazing but it was the staff that made this stay absolutely incredible and unforgettable. The kindest and warmest people in the world. We will definitely come back when we visit this beautiful island again!

It was a truly beautiful place with a great setup. We were a group of six, with two staying in a pool room and four in a villa, and everyone loved it.

The girls in the villa especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the plunge pool in their room. The bar area was also a lovely, comfortable spot to sit and watch the sunset. The setting itself was stunning, with a quiet, private beach and a spa that was reasonably priced.

The staff were amazing and very friendly. The hotel food and drinks were good value during the day, particularly for water and snacks. After staying at a couple of hotels that focused mainly on Western food like chips, burgers, and pizza, I really appreciated having more authentic Thai options here.

It was also very convenient having a taxi rank right outside, with return trips available at a reasonable price.

We stayed there 6 nights in the end of March 2025.
We had a seafront Bungalow and they are really nice and worth the extra price, with a nice big terrace right above the mostly empty private beach of the resort.
Breakfast was ok, and as to be expected. We always found something. They just should cool the butter or let the portions swim in icewater because the portions were melting as the breakfast area is in the open (no clima) but with view to the sea.
The bungalow was spacious, just 1 or 2 more lamps would be helpful. On check in the bungalow has not been cleaned (although afternoon!) and we had to wait for the cleaning (went to beach)
We did not use the small pool, as the ocean is right in front of it and we took the sunbed futher down to the beach were there was some shade from a tree.
A little problem are the rocks in the water. When it is low tide swimming was almost impossible as it was very difficult to reach deeper water. Snorcheling was not very good as water was not very clear.
Massages right above the beach were good, a little more expensive than on other beaches in Thailand, but of course still cheap compared to Germany.
We would have wished some mores Restaurants in the vicinity at the beach, but due to the rocks on the beach to both sides of the resorts it's not possible to make a stroll on beach. Along the coastal road to the right you find 2-4 restaurants within 10 minutes walking. To the left is a very good, but not so pricy reataurant, owned by a french guy.
Motorbikes can be rented at the reception, which is recommended. (we went to Monkey beach, which was very nice)
All in all we reommend this Hotel.

In the middle stretch of the island, if you prefer a quieter spot. Accessible if you are able to ride motorbike to explore other parts, otherwise tuktuk could be expensive to go around @300bht/couple or so. However, a 5-7mins walk out to a short street of food, massage, mini mart & bakery, good for our short stay.

Nice clean, comfortable & spacious villa of various type. We stayed nearest to the frontal row towards road/concierge, a walk-up pool & forest facing. There are other larger villas nearer beachfront restaurant/another pool or facing the beach. Beachfront is very short stretch, private & rocky beach. Nice & relaxing view within the hotel area but not to be explored out from the beach. Low season during our stay was not overcrowded but when all the guests stayed in, may face a shortage of deck chairs; we brought our towel to lay by the beach instead.

The place is magical; I hadn't realized it overlooked both the sea and a lovely pool. The beach bar is simply incredible, the happy hour every evening delighted us, and the restaurant is very good, despite the service being a bit "lackluster" compared to the hotel's overall standard 💕.
We sincerely thank you for this superb 5-night, 5-day stay on Koh Lanta, which was a dream come true!
The best 🌅 sunset ever. Thank you, Kop kun khaaa, to the reception, housekeeping, and catering teams (thank you Bam!) who are fantastic.

Great stay. Front desk very nice. Room clean. Restaurant and breakfast good. No complaints.

Everything was perfect, great value for money and one of the best hotels on our Thailand trip. The view of the sea is simply indescribably beautiful.
We had a villa with a direct sea view. I would book it again anytime. The children loved the sea and the pool.
