The Lantern Resorts Patong – SHA Extra Plus

The Lantern Resorts Patong – SHA Extra Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Lantern Resorts Patong – SHA Extra Plus, you immediately get that feeling of stepping away from the chaos of Patong’s main strip. It’s tucked into Soi San Sabai — and honestly, the name says it all since “sabai” means comfortable in Thai. The four-star property has this calm, almost zen-like atmosphere that’s pretty refreshing when you’ve just navigated through the madness of Raj-U-Thiti Road outside.

Location That Actually Makes Sense

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re close enough to everything in Patong Beach that matters, but far enough from the noise to actually sleep at night. The hotel sits in what locals consider the sweet spot of Patong, and I can see why couples rate the location so highly. You can walk to the beach in about five minutes, hit the night markets without much fuss, but when you want to escape back to your room, you’re not dealing with thumping bass from nearby bars until 3 AM.

The Accommodation Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call thoughtfully designed — not trying too hard to be flashy, but everything works well. You know what impressed me most? The attention to small details that actually matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night. The air conditioning is quiet (crucial in Thailand’s heat), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The bathrooms are clean and modern, though nothing groundbreaking — just solid and functional. Each room is equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

Practical Perks

Let me tell you about the breakfast situation — they do a proper Asian buffet that goes way beyond the usual toast-and-jam setup you get at some places. I mean, you’re in Thailand, so why not start your day with some actual Thai flavors? The parking situation is also worth mentioning because finding a decent spot for your rental car or bike in Patong can be a real headache. Having free private parking right at the hotel saves you both money and stress.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel like a proper retreat while keeping you connected to everything Patong offers. The staff seems to understand that balance — they’re helpful when you need directions or recommendations, but they’re not hovering around trying to upsell you on tours every five minutes. It’s the kind of place where you can plan your day over breakfast, head out to explore the beaches or night markets, then come back and actually relax. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having a peaceful base while still being in the heart of one of Phuket’s liveliest areas.

Phuket’s apartments welcome families with splash pads, nanny services, and easy ferry pickups.

• Daniel from Switzerland (9/10)

  Got an upgrade with separate pool access. Was amazing!

• Pauline from Australia (7/10)

  The Lantern had a big room for the pool access suite. Very comfortable bed and very close to restaurants and street food.
  They have a late check out fee, which we used and arrived at the airport fresh for a long flight.
