Beautiful
You must stay here if you like peace and quiet, far enough away to to have a good night's rest but 5 minute scooter ride to find shops and restaurants. Scooter hire is a must from the hotel 200 baht per day as of 2018. Most places are reachable in around 30 minutes.

Comfortable beds
Tum Mai Kaew is about 2km from town, which is an easy walk of about 25 minutes. The rooms are new with air conditioning, satellite tv and comfortable beds. Part of the reason I chose Tum Mai was for the satellite tv and movies, which I thought would be nice at night, however, there was nothing at all in English, which was disappointing. I was also surprised that the standard rooms have no separation between the shower and toilet. While this is common in older accommodations in Thailand, in a new accommodation, I would have thought they would have some sort of separation. I hate having the entire bathroom floor wet after a shower. Another minor issue that bothered me was that I kept finding tiny ants in the bed. I understand Lanta is a tropical island, but I couldn't figure out how and why these ants kept appearing in my bed. The walls are paper thin, which can be an issue if your neighbours aren't considerate. The wifi was a bit spotty, as the power went out for about an hour or so per day, but when it was working, it worked well. The hotel rents scooters and they are in good shape, but they asked for my passport as security. Tourists should never surrender their passports. I let them hold my license, which is kind of amusing, considering I was driving a scooter. The managers have the absolute cutest daughter ever. She's super friendly and adorable. Overall, not a bad stay at all, but I would get a deluxe room next time for the separation of the toilet and shower.

Beautiful new hotel
This hotel is beautiful and well maintained. The owners are very kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The location is a little out of the way, but when on Koh Lanta we rented scooters (brand new) from the hotel and explored the island. I believe that it doesn't matter where you stay on koh Lanta the best thing to do there is explore the whole island. Would definitely recommend this place. Super comfy Beds and great ac!
