I stayed at the Lantern Resort from July 24th to 27th 2018. My review is below:
# Despite arriving at the hotel around 10:30am I was welcomed with a refreshing orange juice and was able to quickly check in.
# The room was a decent size, equipped with bath and shower, though the room was a little old.
# The breakfast buffet was included in the price and was tasty and relatively varied.
# The pools in both buildings were great and a welcome oasis after walking around Patong. I appreciated the extra towels provided for pool users.
# I tried the hotel massage service (Thai massage) and found the hotel spa to be clean, the cost reasonable (thanks to a guest discount) and the staffs technique good.
# The hotel staff were friendly and ready to help when I had a question.
# Unfortunately the noise from Balang street was loud and did affect my sleep during my stay. Light sleepers should be aware of this situation.
Overall my stay at Lantern Resorts was very positive and I would rescinded the hotel to travelers to Phuket.
