Escape to Paradise: Lanta Infinity Resort Awaits in Koh Lanta, Thailand

Koh Lanta's Paradise: A Messy, Honest Review of Lanta Infinity (Spoiler: It's Mostly Awesome!)

Okay, folks, let's talk about escaping. REAL escaping. I just got back from the Lanta Infinity Resort in Koh Lanta, Thailand, and I feel like I need to spill the tea, the sunscreen, the everything on my experience. Forget perfectly polished travel blogs; this is going to be raw, honest, and probably a little chaotic. Buckle up.

First Impressions & Accessibility – The Good, the… Well, the Less Good

Finding the resort was the first adventure. The taxi driver navigated the dusty roads of Koh Lanta like a seasoned racer. The entrance? Stunning. Palm trees swaying, that Infinity Pool (more on that later!), and the promise of paradise.

Accessibility: This is where things get a bit… patchy. Lanta Infinity says they have facilities for disabled guests, and the elevator is a win. However, Koh Lanta itself isn't exactly built for wheelchairs. The paths aren't super smooth and accessibility within the town can be a challenge. I’d suggest calling ahead and really clarifying what "accessible" means to them, and what your specific needs are. Don’t take it at face value, talk to them first!

Accessibility Rating: 3.5/5 (Needs Improvement)

Rooms – My Sanctuary… and My Mini-Fridge Drama!

I opted for a room with everything. Air conditioning (essential!), a comfy bed, and, of course, Wi-Fi (spoiler: it's FREE in all rooms! Yes!). The rooms are spacious, and the décor is modern with a touch of Thai elegance. Huge windows with blackout curtains (thank the heavens!), and a private balcony (hello, sunsets).

The Mini-Fridge Saga: Okay, real talk. My mini-fridge was… temperamental. One day, it was ice-cold bliss, the next, barely lukewarm. Annoying? Yes. Room service? 10/10… and delivered quickly, and they even fixed the fridge - which was a win!

Room Rating: 4/5 (Mini fridge notwithstanding!)

Internet – Because We Can't Actually Unplug Completely, Can We?

Free Wi-Fi in all Rooms! Okay, let's celebrate the basics. The Wi-Fi was generally strong and reliable, which is a HUGE plus. It even worked well out by the pool. But if you really need a stable connection for work or serious video calls, there's also wired internet available in the rooms.

Internet Rating: 4.5/5 (Reliable and FREE! What's not to love?)

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Stomach's Happy Place

Okay, let's talk food. This is where Lanta Infinity really shines.

The Breakfast Buffet: Oh. My. Goodness. From the classic Western fare (eggs, bacon, pancakes) to the authentic Asian options (noodles, curries, fruit galore), every meal was a celebration of flavor.
Restaurants Galore: There are at least a couple of restaurants on site, serving everything from international cuisine to authentic Thai dishes, and a cool pool-side bar to relax in.
Seriously, The Coffee Shop: Coffee, cakes, and general cozy vibes.
Happy Hour: Because, duh. The pool-side bar has great drink specials, and the sunsets are breathtaking!

The A la Carte and Buffet Experience: The buffet was excellent, with different, rotating options. I am not a fan of buffets usually, but this one was kept clean and well-organized. The food was amazing.

Dining & Drinking Rating: 5/5 (Seriously, I’m still dreaming of the mango sticky rice!)

Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Pure Bliss (Mostly)

This is where Lanta Infinity really delivers the 'Paradise' vibe.

The Pool: Seriously, the infinity pool is epic. Overlooking the ocean, feels like swimming into the horizon - and I would not complain!
Spa Time: I treated myself to a massage (highly recommended!). They have a full spa with body wraps, scrubs, and all sorts of pampering options.
Fitness Center: If you're inclined to work off the delicious food, they have a decent gym.
Other Activities: Lanta caters the adventure, you can do boat tours to nearby islands, beach hopping, or explore Lanta Old Town.

Things to Do & Relax Rating: 4.8/5 (Minus points for not being able to bottle the ocean views.)

Cleanliness & Safety – Feeling Safe and Sound

Lanta Infinity takes cleanliness seriously. The whole place is immaculate. They have all the protocols in place, and anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, and staff trained in safety protocols – so you can relax about the COVID situation at least.

Cleanliness & Safety Rating: 5/5 (Peace of mind? Priceless.)

Services and Conveniences – Making Life Easy

24-Hour Room Service! This one deserves its own paragraph. Late-night cravings? No problem. That was me.
Concierge Service: They can help with anything – booking excursions, arranging transportation, etc.
Cash Withdrawal and Currency Exchange: Super helpful!
Laundry Service: Very efficient.
Irons and ironing boards in the rooms (yay!)

Services & Conveniences Rating: 4.7/5 (They thought of everything!)

For the Kids – Family Friendly, Absolutely!

Lanta Infinity is indeed family friendly. They have babysitting services and kids' facilities to keep the little ones entertained.

For the Kids Rating: 4/5

Getting Around – Exploring Koh Lanta

Airport Transfer: They offer airport transfers, which is super convenient.
Taxi Service: Readily available.
Car Park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Parking is free for guests.

Getting Around Rating: 4/5 (Easy Peasy!)

The Quirky Bits and Imperfections

The occasional gecko on the balcony: Embrace it! Part of the tropical vibe.
That mini-fridge: I’m still not over it, honestly.
The walk to the beach (about five minutes): Not a deal breaker, but it's not right on the sand.

My Honest Verdict and the BIG Offer!

Lanta Infinity Resort is a fantastic choice for a relaxing and genuinely beautiful escape to paradise. It has its quirks (that mini-fridge!), but the pros far outweigh the cons. The staff are lovely, the food is incredible, the pool is jaw-dropping, and the sunsets are pure magic.

Now for the Hook!

I'm willing to bet you're ready to book yourself a ticket to Lanta.

Lanta Infinity Resort Koh Lanta Thailand

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my chaotic, sun-drenched adventure at the Lanta Infinity Resort in Koh Lanta, Thailand. Forget pristine itineraries, this is more like a…well, a slightly burnt, gloriously delicious mango sticky rice of a trip. Let's get messy!

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mosquito Massacre (aka, Welcome to Paradise!)

14:00 - Arrival and Meltdown: Landing at Krabi Airport. It's HOT. Like, "sweating before I even leave the air conditioning" hot. Finding the pre-booked transfer felt akin to a real-life scavenger hunt. Turns out, the guy was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, which, I have to admit, instantly calmed me. The ferry to Koh Lanta? Bliss. The turquoise water! The mountains! The… oh god, the mosquitoes. Seriously, those little buggers tried to devour me whole. Sprayed myself with bug spray that smelled like a chemical factory. Survival mode activated.
16:00 - Check-in Chaos: Lanta Infinity. Beautiful, of course. That's the only nice thing I can say about this part of the day. The room wasn't quite ready. They offered me a welcome drink - a sugary concoction that tasted vaguely of coconuts and regret. Finally, after a small internal meltdown (I'm not good at waiting), I got the key. The room? Stunning. Overlooking the infinity pool. This is what I came for!
17:00 - Poolside Bliss (and a Near-Disaster): First dip in the infinity pool. OMG, HEAVEN. Floating, watching the sunset, that perfect moment, ruined almost instantly. I saw my phone do a swan dive into the pool. My heart nearly followed. Luckily, a friendly (and very handsome) lifeguard fished it out. It works! (Phew).
19:00 - Dinner Debacle: Dinner at the resort restaurant. Romantic, right? Wrong. The "seafood platter for one" was a mountain of tiny fish bones, overcooked prawns, and lukewarm rice. The service? Slow. I ended up chasing a stray cat around the restaurant to pass the time. It was more entertaining than the food, tbh.

Day 2: Beach Bumming & Island Fever (Don't Judge Me!)

08:00 - Sunrise Panic: Woke up with a sudden jolt of urgency about seeing the sunrise. Grabbed a coffee that tasted like burnt tire and ran to the beach at 6 am. (No, I don't know why, but I had to!) It turned out it was a stunning sunrise.
09:00 - Beach Shenanigans: Spent the whole morning on the beach. I read a book (mostly), napped (expertly), and tried to build a sandcastle (failed miserably). Got sunburnt. Worth it.
12:00 - Lunchtime Lament: Lunch at a beach shack. Pad Thai with a side of existential dread. The noodles were great, but staring at the vastness of the ocean made me question my life choices. Am I doing enough? Should I adopt a stray dog? The Pad Thai did not provide answers.
14:00 - Massage Mania: Thai massage. This was the highlight of the trip, no questions. My muscles screamed, then melted into a puddle of bliss. The masseuse was tiny but mighty, like a ninja with magical hands. I nearly fell asleep and snored so loud.
16:00 - Snorkel Snag: Tried snorkeling. Saw a few fish (meh). Got seawater in my mask (a lot). Accidentally swallowed some salty ocean (gross). Decided I prefer dry land.
19:00 - Sunset Cocktails (Again!) and Unexpected Friendship: Back to the beach for sunset cocktails. This time, I struck up a conversation with a random couple from Sweden, named Lars and Ingrid. They were amazing people. We ended up trying to learn how to make Thai cocktails (it was messy and fun).

Day 3: Monkey Business (and a Lesson in Humility)

09:00 - Wake up to a View! This morning I woke up to the view, and I actually woke up a little before the sun. That's what I'm talking about!
10:00 - Long Beach Detour: I decided to go to Long Beach. It was 10 am and the place was pretty empty. The water was very clear. After a few minutes, a woman came to me telling she saw a monkeys stealing some stuff. I immediately grabbed my backpack and ran to the beach.
11.00 - Monkey Encounter: I had heard about monkeys. The monkeys are a huge source of tourism for this place. I was hoping to have a cool experience with them, but I was wrong.
12:00 - The Final Dinner My last dinner at the resort. I was in a good mood. Lars and Ingrid came to the resort for the last dinner. We enjoyed the moment. Even though I didn't know them, they told me some things that made me appreciate life.
14:00 - Goodbye! I gave the resort my goodbye! I had a great time, mostly. Now it's time to go to the airport to fly back in my country!

Final Thoughts (or, Epilogue to the Chaos):

Koh Lanta, you beautiful, slightly-mosquito-infested, paradise. I loved you, even with all your imperfections. Lanta Infinity? Well, room for improvement, but the pool and that massage… I’ll be back. Maybe. After I recover from the sunburn. And buy a better bug spray. And learn how to build a sandcastle. And…well, you get the idea. This trip was a glorious mess, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap. And maybe a really strong cocktail.

Escape to Paradise: Lanta Infinity Resort - Your Questions, Answered (and Maybe Some Overthinking)

Ugh, Okay, So is this actually paradise? Like, for real?

Look, let's be honest. "Paradise" is a HUGE word. It's like promising you the moon, the stars, AND a lifetime supply of Pad Thai. Lanta Infinity? Yeah, it’s definitely *on its way* to paradise. The view from those infinity pools? Stunning. Seriously. I gasped. Honest to God. It's the kind of gasp where you forget to breathe for a second because your brain short-circuits. The sunsets? Instagram-worthy, even if I did accidentally flip my phone at one point trying to get the perfect shot (true story, almost went swimming for it). But... paradise-perfect? No. There were...mosquitoes. And the occasional power outage (romantic, in a "stumbling-around-in-the-dark-looking-for-a-flashlight-while-sweating-profusely" kind of way). And the internet? Let's just say it encouraged me to *truly disconnect* (or rage-quit trying to upload that sunset photo). So, paradise-adjacent? Definitely. Glorious? Absolutely. Flawless? Nah. And honestly? That's part of the charm. The imperfections make it feel real. Like, you're actually *living* somewhere, not just visiting a postcard.

The Infinity Pool(s). What's the deal? Are they as good as the pictures?

Right. The pools. Okay, listen. The pictures? They don't lie. They are freaking gorgeous. I'm not gonna lie, I spent approximately 87% of my waking hours (and a good chunk of my sleeping ones, dreaming about them) in the infinity pools. They're *perfect* for that classic "arms-out, looking-like-I'm-flying-over-the-ocean" photo. Prepare to spend a significant amount of time deciding exactly *which* pool is the most photogenic. One small, tiny thing: one day, I swear, a rogue gust of wind blew some leaves into the pool. Ruins the whole vibe, right? (Kidding. Mostly.) But seriously, the pools are everything. They are the *reason* you go. Book a room with a pool view. Just do it. You won't regret it. Unless you hate swimming, in which case, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe try the beach? (Spoiler: it's also pretty great).

Food. Tell me about the food. Because, you know, it's important. VERY important.

Oh. The food. Okay. Deep breaths. The restaurant at the resort is...*good*. Like, consistently good. The breakfast buffet? A *winner*. Fresh fruit, pastries, the works. The mango sticky rice? Prepare to shed a tear of happiness. Seriously. I almost started a fight over the last portion (just kidding... mostly). But here's the thing. You're in Thailand. Explore! Venture out! There are *amazing* little restaurants crammed everywhere you can go to. The food outside the resort is mind-blowing. Cheaper! Authentic! And that's where the real magic happens. You MUST find a local place to grab some Pad Thai. Like, seriously, it's a national requirement. You will stumble across the weirdest, most incredible experiences. You won't regret it. Unless you accidentally order something with a mountain of chilies. Then you might regret it. Briefly. But even then, you'll survive. (And probably learn a valuable lesson about spicy food).

Okay, so the rooms... What are they actually like? Are they clean? Cozy? Do you feel like a queen?

My room? It was gorgeous. The bathroom was the size of my apartment back home. The bed was so comfy it could swallow you whole. The AC? A godsend (especially after attempting to climb the hill *in the heat*). The *view*. Oh, the view! Waking up to the ocean every morning was a life-affirming experience. And yes, it was clean. Spotless. I'm a clean freak, and even *I* was impressed. The cleaning staff are wizards. They even left little towel animals on my bed. Talk about a touch of magic! But again, it wasn’t *perfect*. There was a tiny, tiny, tiny, scratch on one of the doors. Honestly, I barely noticed. But it's worth mentioning because… well, *nothing* is ever truly perfect, right? But honestly? I felt like a queen. A very happy, slightly sunburnt queen.

Beach time! Is the beach actually good? Can you swim? Is it crowded?

The beach is *amazing*. Seriously. Soft sand, crystal-clear water, and the perfect spot to...well, do absolutely nothing. Swim? Yes! (But keep an eye out for the waves. They *can* get a bit rowdy). Sunbathe? Obviously. Read a book? (Or try to, before you’re interrupted by the urge to jump in the ocean.) Crowded? It depends on the time of year. I went in the shoulder season (highly recommend), and it was blissfully uncrowded. There were moments when I felt like I had the entire beach to myself. It was pure, unadulterated relaxation. If you hate people, go in the off-season. If you like a bit of buzz, go high season. Either way, the beach is a winner. You will build sandcastles. You will possibly get sunburned (wear sunscreen, people!), and you will be happy.

Activities! Besides lying around like a beached whale (though, let's be honest, that's tempting), what can you actually do?

Okay, so, the whole "beached whale" thing is, well, accurate. But if you want to actually move, there's plenty to do! Boat trips! Island hopping! Snorkeling! Diving! (Although, I didn't do any of that because… beached whale). The resort can arrange all sorts of excursions, or you can just wander around. Explore the local markets. Go for a hike (though, be warned, it's hot. Bring water!). Rent a scooter (be careful! Traffic can be crazy!). Trust me, you won't be bored, but if you do find yourself a little lost for things to do, the infinity pool is always there.

What was your BEST memory of the trip? (Or, conversely, the worst?)

Okay, BEST memory. Honestly, it might sound cheesy, but...it was watching the sunset from the infinity pool. Cocktail in hand (it was a *very* strong cocktail – a bit too strong, if I’m being honest). The sky was on fire. The ocean was shimmering. And for that brief moment, everything felt…perfect. Worst? The mosquitoes, definitely. But I’d say, tripping over a root while walking along the beach that happened to be hidden under some sand. I made a loud, ungraceful sprawl. It was mortifying... and hilarious. After IHotel Search Tips
