Koh Phangan hotellit lähellä Haad Chao Phao Beach

Plussat: Amazing location, friendly staff ,beautiful environment, feels authentic and great rooms :)

Plussat: We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel as we were expecting far less based on the cost. The rooms were simple but very clean, with towels, a fridge, kettle, and efficient air con. The balcony had a washing line and a hammock. It is literally on the beach front and next to Samma Karuna yoga studio, with a kitchen serving cheap and simple food. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Great family run place. Cozy, lovely, well kept. Sunsets are out of this world!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect apart from the low tides, but it's not their fault :)

Plussat: The location and food was great and staff friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I would have liked to have my room cleaned and bed made every day rather than every other day.

Plussat: Lovely stuff!! Best location is Sri thanu! Very recommend!

Miinukset: no cutlery in the room ...a microwave and a plate would also be nice to include. Also wifi kept dropping out but I think this is a problem with the island as a whole.

Plussat: The owner was always accommodating. The food was delicious and the location was perfect.

Miinukset: The beds were hard but the linens were soft and clean.

Plussat: Nice room, comfy bed, balcony, fridge, towels, shower gel and shampoo. The atmosphere at the beach bar is perfect, tasty drinks/food and not too expensive. We booked a motorbike with them for 200 Bhat x day, usually it costs 250; and the tickets to go to Ko Samui airport (taxi+boat+bus to airport) the process was fast and simple, they do everything for u. The staff was kind as well, some spoke very good english and always answered our questions.

Plussat: -the staff is so nice and helped where they could (exp. organising motorbikes, laundry etc..) -bungalows are big enought for 2 people -the restaurant (food and atmosphere), the beach and all the things around the bungalows are just nice!:) -location is perfect (near to all the other nice beaches)

Miinukset: -During the day not the best beach to swim(but still much better than in other places on the island), due to the fact that the water is very shallow during daytime (morning till 4pm. However there are some other nice beaches just 2-5‘ away.

Plussat: We loved our stay at Benjamin‘s Hut! It was a beautiful place made up with love and run by a lovely family. the Place is quiet and not far away from a 7/11 shop and to the street with many restaurants. The pool is great to cool down and the garden is beautiful too. The rooms are spacious and clean and everything is well placed. You have enough space to place and hang your stuff. We loved our stay here. I highly recommend to stay here. <3 Sawadee kaa

Plussat: Great staff and lovely location

Plussat: Staff was amazing, personel make us feel like our mom's house. Breakfast was fantastic - good price, fresh and tasty. View from the window was stunning.

Plussat: We liked everything. We have been warmly welcomed by the owner. All the family is really nice and can arrange everything for you (such as booking a boat, laundry...). They even let us choose our room. The restaurant has a great view, we only had breakfast there but it was delicious. Prices are correct. The room was spacious and has everything you need (AC, fridge, room for your stuff, TV, coffee, ...). Huge bed. Separated villas so no noise from your neighbours. Very quiet environment, so calm at night. We slept very well. Short ride to the closest beach (Haad Yao) and located in the best part of the island. If we ever go again to Koh Phan Gan we will come back without a doubt !

Miinukset: The bathroom could be in a little more better state. The bed and pillows were a little bit hard but it is everywhere in Thaïland. No direct access to the beach but it was not what we were looking for, so not a problem for us.

Plussat: Modern bungalows, newly equipped, with comfortable bed, AC, nice bathroom. All was perfectly clean and very spacious. There was space enough to store your luggage (big wardrobe), to rest (sofa with coffee table), to eat (countertop with a kettle and a microwave). From all out stays during our trip to Thailand this one was probably the most convenient one :) Staff was amazing and helpful. It was good that we could use laundry service at the place, food in the restaurant was really tasty. Close (3 mins walk) to beautiful, long and calm Haad Yao beach, with several nice bars and restaurants. Thank you for such a nice stay!

Plussat: Rooms were spacious and clean Staff were very friendly and did our washing for us, came back all folded and clean. Quiet location if that is what you are after!

Miinukset: Air con was not working sufficiently The hotel is situated on a slight hill so a bit of a walk for those who struggle.

Plussat: Clean practical bungalows, very close to Haad Yao which was great, very kind family that runs the place and is very helpful. Cleaning daily, beautiful view from restaurant, scooters available.

Miinukset: Only suggestion: maybe a ventilator on the porch could help with mosquitoes. Other than that perfect stay!

Plussat: Very kind and friendly hosts.

Plussat: We (my husband, my 3 yrs old son and my parents) travelled to Koh Phangan to stay for 3 weeks. At this resort me, my hubby and my son lived just right next door to my parents, which was perfect. The bungalow had a really comfortable size, bed was good and once we had a leaking pipe, it was fixed immediately. We sat on the terrace every evening which was very relaxing. So bungalow was very good, the entire location or the surrounding tropical garden was beautiful with the exotic birds' chirping sound. We loved it. The beach is just around the corner (5 min walk), the water was shallow, which was perfect for my child and also for me, since I am not a good swimmer. Anyhow, you feel like in paradise with white sandy beach and the crystal clear water. Besides this you can find lots of restaurants there and enough massage places. But what we need to highlight is the very welcoming treatment of the two warmhearted sisters. As we went to their restaurant quite often we got to know them quite well after a couple of days and when I showed my interest in "proper" Thai food, On (the chef), didn't hesitate to offer us traditional Thai food, which was the best food we had in Thailand. Also she showed me how to make an absolut amazing Thai dessert, that I'm going to make here in Germany, too. Besides this, they try to help whenever they could even if it doesn't have to do with the accomodation. (My mum was suffering from mosquito bites and they gave us a "magical" ointment which helped immediately!) So do not hesitate to book this resort! Thanks On and For for everything-we'll book again!

Plussat: The ladies in charge were lovely and gave a real sense of traditional Thai hospitality. The room itself was good mid-level Thai fare, and the microwave with special noodle setting was a lovely extra touch!

Miinukset: The resort is up on the hill a bit, and so it is a bit of shame that it is behind several other resorts such that there is no sea view. It also feels like this is more somewhere to stay than socialise - the restaurant area was not busy at all, but we were only there for one night, so maybe we were just unfortunate.

Plussat: This is the best place I've ever been in Thailand! Thai family who owns place is very friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with free cold drinks. Bungalow (with AC, TV, DVD, fridge, safe deposit) was nice, spacious and clean. Rooms was cleaned every day and we were receiving 2 free bootles of water every day. You can rent a bike in resort, there is laundry service, restaurant (with amazing sea view), taxi, you can book trip, ferry, bus - everyting you need is there. Short walk (about 3 minutes) and you are on the beach (which is beautiful). There is also small city nearby with ATM, shops, tatto studio, babershop and restaurants. Unfortunately, I've had little accident and people from resort helped me a lot! They given me first aid and drive me to and from hospital. Thank you again! Haad Yao is one of the most beautiful beaches at Koh Phangan! We will definitely come back one day to Sun Moon Star Resort!

Plussat: The location on the beach and the well kept gardens around the bungalows

Miinukset: I picked this place based on reviews about the lively restaurant and great food. However on arrival I was told they would be doing a soft closing as it had been a long season and the staff needed a rest. So I was basically just given the key for my room and some numbers to call in emergency. There was no restaurant and no staff available to assist me or clean my room during my stay. It’s worth checking if they will be open if you are not visiting in peak season. No discount was offered to compensate for this and comparing the price to others online which offer more modern rooms and swimming pool etc. I would say it does not represent good value for money. The room was clean enough for me to be comfortable but a few dead bugs in the bathroom and dubious stains on the duvet- hopefully that was just suncream! The Italian lady owner was not particularly welcoming, complaining that I had managed to arrive just as she was about to eat her lunch. I told her it was no problem for me to wait but she insisted on begrudgingly checking me in. She then accused me of overstaying in the country and that I needed to go immediately to the immigration office. After some persuasion that I was only here on a 10 day holiday she eventually managed to find the right stamp in my passport. The place I had stayed previously and airport immigration did not seem to have a problem finding it. After her lunch I went back later to ask if she could assist me to arrange my transport back to Samui since there would be no one around to ask when I was due to leave. She agreed but then went into a long and loud ramble in Italian to her friends. I’m not sure what was said but she seemed unhappy I had asked for help. I was ready to just walk away but eventually she pulled herself together and helped me. Maybe she did just need a rest but I was also there for my hard earned rest and deserved to be treated a bit better than this. A regrettable choice but luckily I was only there for a few days.

Plussat: The location and the terrace at the bungalow was enjoyable.

Miinukset: Bed was hard and room wasn’t particularly clean. Bungalow didn’t get cleaned during our three night stay, nor did the bed get made.

Plussat: It’s just by the beach. Very clean and spacious. They have nice party’s if you are into that. Staff was very helpful with any question.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location Good music Best cocktails Nice people

Plussat: The Seaboard Bungalows is an amazing spot. Incredible location on one of Koh Phangan‘s most beautiful beaches the SB offers an awesome atmosphere, best quality Thai and Italian food, and an easygoing lounge and chill area by the beach. Great good vibes, awesome music and a fantastic spirit! Wouldn’t have to think twice to book again!

Miinukset: I really didn’t like to leave this place! ;)

Plussat: The location is nice, direct at the beach. However, only one bungalow has real beach front. We had booked a bungalow with sea view, what was okay. But quite pricey (almost $100 per night), if you consider the value you get for. Would I book it again? Probably not...

Miinukset: - The management is pretty lazy, does not care a lot about anything - The mattress was quite hard, probably old and definitely smelly - You need to tell them to do the room - You have to ask for toilet paper

Plussat: Wonderful location right at the beach, nice beach bar / restaurant, friendly owner, large rooms with terrace to sit outside.

Miinukset: There are 3 times a week parties in the restaurant and they last only until ca. midnight or 1 p.m. but a small crowd always stays there to chat quite loud longer... if you prefer to rest a lot and well and go to sleep early then I don't recommend you this place. I think the party is fine but in case of the owner I would not tolerate talking loud so long after. It disturbed me quite a lot.

Plussat: Very nice people , very good location , nice food and beautiful beech clean and friendly !!

Plussat: I liked the location-it was minutes walking to the beach and staff helped organize transportation to the full moon party! Food was tasty too- they had western Thai and fusion dishes.

Miinukset: Cleanliness in the dorm beds could be better

Plussat: The nature and environment is good enough

Miinukset: First day we had a so hot bath because thermosifon broken. Although ıt is bungalow, the room is so small that you cant even put your suitcase anywhere. No showercabin . Everywhere is wet after bath Everybody can use pool whenever they want . No rule . When do they clean it ? We stayed 4 nights and on 16/17 th july they didnt serve alchol even beer because of the budist day. But this is a hotel and ıt is so weird While another hotels and restaurant serve it .

Plussat: Everything is perfect. I tried the dorm, the bungalow with fan and the bungalow with AC. Nothing to complain about at all. Stayed here 14 days in total, and it was really good. 10 minutes walking to 7-eleven, 3 minutes walking to an amazing beach with white sand. The staff is truly perfect. They do whatever they can to help, and they’re honest to tell if you can get one of their services (laundry, bus tickets etc.) better or cheaper somewhere else, which for me is a big bonus. I met a lot of nice travelers here, and I’m sure that the staff is the reason for the overall good mood! The food in the restaurant is good, there’s a very big menu for both healthy food, Thai food, and western food. The pool is clean as everything else on the property.

Miinukset: There’s no place on the property where it’s allowed to eat takeaway or fruits bought at the market.

Plussat: The bar/ restaurant was good

Miinukset: The room was the most basic room I’ve seen. The room did not have air con only a fan and it was hotter inside than out. It was horrible trying to sleep, never again. The pool was so dirty no one cleaned it. It was full on green. I saw a guy splash some chlorine in it to ‘clean it’ didn’t do anything more - there were lots of bugs and more in the pool.

Plussat: I stayed there for whole month. The pool was clean, i liked my bungalow with fan and i liked staff. They were so nice and friendly. Never in bad mood and always smiling :) The beach is close also the shop if you need something. I liked the neon lights party

Miinukset: It’s hard to say what i dislike, cause it was just really comfy and i did not had any problems with anything! If i needed something, they had always helped me. Really nice experience :)

Plussat: Lovely pool area

Miinukset: Quite expensive food

Plussat: Staff helped arranging ferry reservation and taxi. Bungalow was nice.

Plussat: Staff is great they are a lot of fun and nice! I love that the showers actually have places to put your things. Ive found a lot of hostels don’t. Food is great too!

Miinukset: The top bunks in the dorm can be hard to get out of, it would be nice if they installed a grip so you can use both hands to get down

Plussat: Kira was lovely, the fresh spring rolls amazing. Chilled and relaxing atmosphere during the day!

Plussat: The staff was so helpful and really nice, they booked taxis and ferry for us and borrow us some snorkeling stuff. The food is amazing and at a reasonable price. The location is just perfect, 2 min from the beach and close to nice spots for swimming and snorkeling on the north side of the island. Really good!

Plussat: Right by the beach (which we had to ourselves in the morning and evening), lovely pool, VERY big breakfast, really helpful staff, walking distance to local shops & good/cheap restaurants

Miinukset: The beach is very shallow - maybe good for young kids but you need the pool for a proper swim

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: They were all booked up when I tried to get back in the very next week after I checked out. Sob.

Plussat: Location is excellent. Reasonably good breakfast.

Miinukset: Rooms are old and they resemble a 90s hostel rather than what the place tries to be. Ac old tv old doors bathroom and curtains - all old.

Plussat: I just love sunset cove. It was my third time in 6 months that I chose to stay here. The staff are fabulous, welcoming and feel like family. The huts are a good size and I love the decadent feel of the large outside private bathrooms. It’s the best spot to watch the sunset, the pool is fabulous - one I actually want to use and sit around as it’s almost on the beach. Clean and in line with the horizon.

Miinukset: I don’t think there’s anything I don’t like.

Plussat: Big and nice rooms, comfortable bed, clean, AC is good, located close to the beach. Staff is friendly and helpful, swimming pool is good. The resort is full of plants and atmosphere is relaxing.

Miinukset: Showers are OK but can be improved. Gym is not really usable - old and limited equipment. A little pricey compared to the prices of resorts around it.

Plussat: This resort will perfect if you're looking for down time,. Breakfasts were always such pleasure having it with the perfect view and the beach where it's located is perfect for sunset. Having morning swims and kayaking around dusks were also the highlights during my stay there. I had such a great time chilling at the resort and the staff were always so pleasant and helpful. It's also located very close to Samma Karuna if anyone is looking to practise some yoga or meditation.

Plussat: It’s called sunset cove for good reason. The sunsets each night were spectacular and are not to be missed. Lovely quiet beach and within walking distance of good restaurants and bars. Breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: The pool did not seem to have working filters so it became increasingly marred by insects as the day went on. Having working filters would have eliminated this issue.

Plussat: Everything worked and was clean and well maintained. Room was basic but not spartan and perfect for just having a no-frills place just to sleep (with good AC!). The location is amazing though, right on the beach, easy walking distance to plenty of nice local restaurants, some good beach bars right next door and just up the beach. This is in the quiet 'healthy' part of Koh Pha-ngan - barely a loud backpacker in sight! Recommend walking up and down the hill to Secret Beach just 15 mins away.

Miinukset: Food was not great, edible but average western style breakfast (no Thai options) and even the Thai food wasn't very good. Small portions. Don't bother with the free breakfast just walk to one of the cheap, amazing cafes nearby.

Plussat: I have visited Koh Phangan several times as my daughter lives on the island, I have stayed in plush westernised hotels which have all the facilities you would expect. However this time I decided to stay somewhere more traditional and chose Sunset Cove. I loved it here, the rooms are more basic and not as pristine as the bigger hotels but its authentic and in a beautiful setting right on the beach. The beach is however very small, not somewhere you could necessary sunbath but where you can access the sea to swim. The pool is the place to sunbath looking out to sea and the sunsets are wonderful. Breakfast is simple but perfectly adequate, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, cooked breakfast with various styles of eggs, pancakes, toast jams etc. Would I go back? Absolutely I loved it.

Miinukset: Would have liked to have a few TV channels, if only for some background music. There is a tv in the room but only for DVDs, there are plenty free to use but be warned they are a bit hit and miss very old and scratched. However, this would no way stop me going back.

Plussat: Close to nature, cozy place, very nice staffs

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Great breakfast included, gorgeous beach view
