With a fun-slide plunging into a big pool and several two-bedroom villas (each with large multibed rooms), Southern Lanta is quite popular with families. Standard rooms are bungalows built closely to each other with slightly run-down exteriors, but comfortable interiors. Seaside rooms are newer and have sofas indoors and deck chairs outdoors for maximum lounging. Pros: family-friendly; great pool. Cons: needs some redecoration.
