La A Natu Pranburi

We had a dinner for 4 in the rooftop traditional open air restaurant...superb food service and atmosphere...wonderful to hear the lapping of the waves below. Would definitely recommend if you are staying or simply visiting for lunch or dinner.

The hotel is right at the beach front. Our room is on the second floor and had the front row view of the beach. However, that is the only highlight. Our room is not very well thought out. Furniture was not practical. There is one arm chair and a sofa. No proper desk or chair to sit down if you want to work your computer. The main light switch is on the OUTSIDE of the room. It is super weird that you have to GET OUT of the room to turn off your lights at night. Our room was heavily sprayed with perfume -- a standard procedure for all rooms (I asked). The ceiling in our bathroom had mold spots and water damage. This is not what I'd expect for a four+ star hotel. The pool on the third floor had a sign saying that it was ozone treated but the water was down right murky. We did not even dare putting our feet in. The hotel refused to take my credit card for our dinner charge as it was less than 1,000 Baht since "there would be additional bank fees involved". I have not seen any highly-rated hotel having minimum requirements for incidental charges. After paying over 10,000 Baht for a two-night stay, this is the level of service they provide for a four/five-star hotel? I can go somewhere else. Breakfast is only served from 8-10am. The menu is very limited. The name of the resort has "bakery" in it but there was no baked goods offered. I'm not sure how they can pride themselves with the word "bakery". Dinner was pricey for the quality and taste. If you are not absolutely knackered, you'll be better off driving somewhere else to eat. Overall, we had a high expectation for our stay. The location is great and pictures look nice. The staff were friendly and trying their best. That is about it. Food, facilities, and service were meh. Not a very well managed hotel that you can expect at this price. There are better places for less money.

Stayed at La Anatu for a night in December 2021. Our room is a beach-front villa. The place is quite tired. Shower room is not fully-sealed so there might be some gecko or frog inside. If you sre not a morning person, in the morning, be ready to get all sunlight through your bedroom. Breakfast does not have much variety and very slow. Overall not an impressive stay.
