This is a beautiful resort on the beach. It is well laid out with the bar and restaurant at the seafront and the bungalows in 2 lines facing each other leading up towards the street.
The food is excellent and we enjoyed thai and western food. It is all reasonably priced as are the drinks.
The bungalows are clean with a maid service everyday. The air con was quite old so we were concerned that it wouldn't be effective but when using in conjunction with the ceiling fan it was cool enough. The bungalows have lovely balconies but you had to make sure you shut your curtains if anyone was on the one opposite.
We didn't see any entertainment at the resort but if you walked along the beach there were bars with fire shows.
All in all, a great resort which is good value for money.

This is a lovely beachfront property. Bungalows are spacious and very clean. Nice patio out front of place where you can dry your bathing suits or just sit and read. The birds chirp and leaves fall from the lovely trees all around. It’s serenity. The staff are helpful. The breakfast is ala carte. Order what you want from menu. It’s all delicious. You get one coffee with the breakfast and can buy additional.
Nice amenities like massages on site and you can book scooters with hotel and they bring them to you. Very convenient. The beach and sand are lovely and the water is warm! Happy hour from 5-7pm too at their beach bar.

A little gem, calm, quiet and enjoyable

So, The name ‘Resort’ is a little bit ambitious, but we stayed for just under a week and enjoyed every minute of it. As others have said, it’s located at the quiet end of Long Beach.

The garden is really well tended and the overall feel is quiet and calm. Nearby there are choices for eating out, or perfectly good eating in. Rooms are cleaned daily and breakfast was freshly prepared. Beers are cold, all the staff did a great job whether breakfast, bar, dining, reception, garden, room attendance. Thanks.

We had no issue at all with availability of beds, and having showers on the beach after a swim is great to freshen up. The massage service is a delight and clothes washing also 24 hr turn around - very handy.

Is it the Four Seasons? Of course not. Is it a small establishment that makes you feel comfortable, right on the beach and nearby to a collection of shops and things, absolutely.

Would I stay again - without question.

Perfect stay at quiet end of Long Beach

Perfect stay. Great and comfy sea breeze villa, 2 min walk to a massive beach that was quiet and peaceful and great for sunsets. Staff were all fab. Food and drinks at restaurant were good. 7/11 at the entrance for any other bits you need eg water/beers for the room etc. 5-10 min walk to loads of restaurants/bars etc.
Would definitely stay there again.

Very comfortable and well run, efficient and good restaurant. Watch sunsets and in the morning during breakfast..the waves are very close and quite enjoyable. You can run on the beach for about 20-30 minutes as the beach is Gradually slopped. Walk to 711 and get a massage very close to the beach so very soothing as well. Various restaurants and the coffeeclub is close by to get some work done if needed..Great value. I just met a couple from Switzerland and they walk to the restaurant from their home because they like it so much

Paradise in Koh Lanta

Had a fabulous stay at Lanta Castaway. We stayed for 9 nights and could have stayed longer. Perfect location at the south end of Long Beach. Sun loungers on the beach for daytime relaxing, comfy sun mattress on the terrace for Sunset cocktails. Great massage on site. Biggest decision each day was what massage to have and which cocktail to choose during happy hour. Really great vibe. The bar staff are great, cocktails are very high standard. Food is also really good and guests get a discount. Plenty of other bars and restaurants near. This was our 3rd visit to Koh Lanta, but first to Lanta Castaway. We will definitely stay again the next time we come back.

Very nice staff and management.
Strange breakfast arrangement when included.
You have to pay 80 B extra for a late or cappuccino which was simply unacceptable considering the price.
Bar and staff were fine.

Lovely little guest house

Very nice stay on Long Beach! The staff was friendly and helpful. The onsite restaurant is very good quality and one is walking distance from other food choices. The same can be said for the onsite beach bar. Will stay again.

Wonderful resort

We had a wonderful stay at Castaway in Feb 2023. The bungalows are lovely and exceptionally clean. We appreciated that we were provided with mosquito coils and bug spray by the resort. The bar is great and the food delicious. Direct access to the beach and lots of loungers for guests. I’d definitely stay again!

Was one of the nicest stays we’ve had in Thailand. Would have love to stay longer but they were fully booked up. If we return to Koh lanta ever we will come back here. Staff and restaurant were great.

Great little place

What a great and cozy place. Great service, we loved our breakfast server Uan as she was very friendly and funny.

Joe was a friendly and easy to talk with helpful guy as well who was cooking some nice food. After a week in Thailand, having some Tex-Mex food was a welcome addition to the days.

Nice location and nice beach.

We didn’t dive but met the staff there too and they were very kind and helpful.

Stay here! You won't regret it!

This may be one of the best spots I've ever stayed at. Whether you're going for a family vacation or a couples retreat, you'll love it. It is right on the beach - a beautiful, soft sand, clean beach! The rooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant serves delicious food - western and thai! Breakfast is included and you can order up whatever you'd like. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Try the coco mojito - it's delicious! Great location! INCREDIBLE SUNSET VIEW!

We had a great time staying here. The room and bathroom was updated and clean, very impressive compared to other beach resorts we have stayed at. Restaurant and bar had a beautiful, beach front view and the food was delicious. Beach chairs are available to guest only which is nice and although it is located on a busy beach, we were still able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Hotel staff was helpful in setting up activities and with transportation back to the main land. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the island.

Tom Hanks would never have left this Castaway.

This was my first visit to Koh Lanta and enjoyed it. Not for those looking for a strong nightlife, but more of a quiet read a book and enjoy the beach customer. Nice beach, beautiful sunset at the Castaway. The staff was accommodating and very friendly. Thanks to Joe, Darin, Do-do (bartender) and the entire restaurant for making it a great visit.

Perfect place to be a beach bum!

Great small boutique style hotel with lots of character and nice friendly staff. Beach bar and restaurant is a huge selling point where you can sit and chill and watch the sunset or enjoy a morning breakfast, and the breakfast itself is expectional!

Not much to do in the local area, some cool bars and nice restaurants but thats just what Koh Lanta is all about!

Went in low season so the place was very very quiet.

Definitely a favourite of ours when it comes to islands and resorts in and around Thailand. Was our first time and will be back.
Our initial booking was for 5 days, within 24 hours we extended it with 2 days. The accommodation was great, much better than expected actually, the food was great, (loved the fact that there was a western and Thai menu), the beach and beach facilities was wonderful. We did not miss not having a pool.
The ladies doing the massages knew what they were doing.
There is absolutely nothing we can fault when it comes to this resort.
The prices on the food and massages was very reasonable.
Within a short walking distance to the resort is a 7/11, chemist, medical centre and everything else you may need.
10 out of 10 from our side for this little piece of paradise.

You get free bamboo straws and the property is close to the beach. The problem is that the rooms are not fancy and not worth the high price tag. We stayed way cheaper in Krabi and probably could’ve found better priced places on Koh Lanta further down the island. The beach out front of the hotel is so so, again nicer beaches are down the island. The rooms also aren’t that private. There are two rooms per bungalow and you pretty much can see across the isle into others rooms. The rooms weren’t that fancy inside also.

Fantastic Stay

Nice bungalows with good cable tv for the island. Beach is a bit rockier than further down Long Beach, but there are other advantages of being a bit further tucked away! Overall extremely nice staff and lovely accommodations. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

To start, the manager Joe was fantastic along with the staff. Lanta Castaway has everything you need from great food, great bar and staff (Dodo especially), great beachfront location, convenient thai massage services right on the beach, onsite scooter rentals and separately run Dive shop. Lastly, the sunsets....amazing sunsets from Lanta Castaway that you can never get enough of.

Wonderful feeling of seclusion at Castaway

We spent a month in Thailand and ended out holidays at Lanta Castaway Beach Resort. We had heard that Thai people retreat to Lanta for their vacations and we understand why. Castaway Beach resort is located at the southern end of Long Beach. Great swimming and boogie boarding. Phi Phi islands are on the horizon add to the the awe inspiring sunsets. We were greeting by Texas Joe, the USA born manager who ensures the facility is clean and top running order. Staff are warm and friendly. There is a dive shop on site and pickups from the beach. After a day of diving/snorkeling and pristine Andaman location relax with an on site Thai Massage ($9-US). The restaurant has a diverse menu and a fully stocked beach bar. Just up the street is the Irish Embassy where Wednesdays is Elvis night. Truly a fabulous location to relax and get away from it all. The only negative were flies at breakfast and lunch.

Great location.

This was an awesome place you stay. The staff were so friendly. They made everything very easy.

However the one thing I would say is that be careful in booking any trips through these guys. We booked a whole day thing that was to involve snorkelling and elephant trekking. But when we got to the boat it was this horrendous old long tail boat that was taking on water badly, and no elephant trekking or snorkelling ever happened.

Not sure if the hotel booked us on wrong tour or it's just a dodgy tour provider. Hotel didn't seem
To know.

Unser Aufenthalt hier war wirklich rundum toll!! Die Anlage ist wie eine kleine Oase mit einer super gepflegten, herrlich grünen Gartenanlage!! Die großen Bäume spenden Schatten und locken viele Vögel an. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Unser Bungalow war sauber, ansprechend und gemütlich eingerichtet, in einem gepflegten Zustand und dank der Klimaanlagen konnten wir es schnell auf für uns angenehme Temperaturen kühlen. Wir haben uns sehr schnell „zuhause“ gefühlt. Der Wäscheservice klappt prima und wir bekamen jeden Tag kostenloses Trinkwasser in Glasflaschen (!!!) bereit gestellt.
Die Anlage hat keinen Pool, den wir aber dank der herrlichen direkten Standlage auch überhaupt nicht vermisst haben.
Das Frühstück wird von 7-10 Uhr an der Strandbar angeboten, mit traumhaften Blick aufs Meer. Das Frühstück ist gut, etwas mehr „Heathy Breakfast“ und mehr schattige Sitzmöglichkeiten wären schön.
Wir können das Lanta Castaway Beach Resort auf jeden Fall empfehlen und würden sehr gern wieder hier unseren Urlaub verbringen.

Mysigt litet hotell med riktigt bra läge precis vid en privat strand. Dock är stranden ganska beroende av tidvattnet och det kan vara rätt starka strömmar, så inget för vem som helst.

Vi bodde i en bungalow som var charmig, men tyvärr väldigt lyhörd. AC:n satt rakt ovanför sängen och blåste på oss hela natten, dessutom lät den en hel del. Kylskåpet gick också igång och av med ganska mycket ljud, vilket störde mer än man hade önskat. Det gick heller inte att få det riktigt mörkt i rummet eftersom gardinerna satt en bit ut från väggen, så det läckte in ljus hela tiden.

Frukost ingår men det är ingen buffé. Helt okej ändå, inget att klaga på där.

En grej som var lite tråkig var att hotellet plockar undan solstolarna redan vid 17, så man kan inte riktigt hänga kvar vid stranden på kvällen.

Personalen var däremot väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam, vilket alltid väger upp en del.
