Marina Restaurant — Restaurant in Ko Lanta Yai

We came to have dinner and enjoy the spectacular view of the sunset. The first dish that came gave away what was coming. The fried rice was asked to be very spicy but didn't taste anything. The paneng vegetables ordered no spicy came in a green curry-looking stew that was super spicy. After a run-back to the kitchen it was still to spicy to eat. The pad Thai ordered with extra peanuts and medium spice came in not resembling pad Thai the slightest; there was no egg, no peanut and instead cashews, and tasting NOTHING.

Eager to solve the situation we suggested improvements but was flipped the finger by a member of the staff. To be fair the owners seemed to want to solve the situation but we had already lost our patience and will as you might have guessed not be coming back. You can get better Thai food almost anywhere but the view of the...

Very friendly owner and his wife and son serving the best cocktails and smoothies I've had a chance to try on the island. Try vailla ice cream (that's actually straciatella) - it's not in the menu, but the owner understands English well enough to bring you the scoop with some extra cashew nuts. It's rewarding to sit there in one of their little two-person bamboo houses with a stunning sea view after the adventure of getting there walking through the beach and climbing rocks. Especially after sunset, when the sea rises, making the way even more changing. Also -...
