Koh Phangan hotellit lähellä Haad Chao Phao Beach

Plussat: Absolutely stunning outlook and beautiful design of the pool area especially. Fantastic staff who really helped us with changing onward travel arrangements due to covid-19. Just wonderfully warm people all round. Oh, and breakfast was outstanding. Can you tell we liked it? Would go back in a flash.

Miinukset: Not much to dislike really.

Plussat: Has a nice hill top view especially from the deck at the back of the swimming pool. Breakfast was limited to a menu. The poolside accomodation was , to me, the better choice than the winding decent into a maze of other lodgings. Down the steep road from this resort, there was a crowded restaurant, with big, tasty, filling meals at cheap prices. On this side of the island ( in Feb-March) , sunsets are over the ocean.

Miinukset: At the bottom trail of this resort, there is no beach, mainly a rocky foreshore. Would not call it a 'resort', more of an upmarket hotel. The bungalow (next to the pool) cost me 2700B per night, far too pricey in comparison to other places I've stayed in.

Plussat: the seaview

Miinukset: bungalow felt like 2,5-3 star very basic. Staff not attentive

Plussat: We loved our stay at the Zama resort. From the arrival to the departure, the staff took such great care of us and made us feel welcome. The swimming pool is very nice with a beautiful sea view. Our bungalow was very pretty and clean, the cleaning ladies even brought us some cookies every night. The hotel also makes their own shampoo & body lotion. Breakfast is served until late, which was perfect on vacation, and we could choose from many things that they prepared for us. I can only recommend staying at this resort, we really loved the time there! :)

Plussat: Very polite staff, excellent food at the restaurant. Superb sunsets from the pool terrace

Plussat: Staff were AMAZING... So so nice particularly one receptionist I didn't catch her name but was there majority of the stay. She was great, really friendly, helpful and such a sweet person. There was a gorgeous view from the hotel and we had a beautiful fruit platter on arrival. Breakfast was served until 5pm which was great for when we returned from the Full Moon Party! Pool is super quite, nice sun loungers, sea view Cannot fault the place... I would definitely recommend to a friend!

Miinukset: Nothing I didn't like! Location is a bit out but they are partners with a Moped company and they will drop you up a bike which is very convenient!

Plussat: From moment u arrive to I left the staff (Ms On) treated me so so well. Check in was fast and the room was beautiful just big enough for me . Also the smell (wow)

Miinukset: Only thing was the shower never got hot . But it wasn’t an issue

Plussat: Aamupala oli hyvä, respassa puhuttiin ymmärrettävää englantia. Yleisilme siisti ja viihtyisä.

Miinukset: Kylpyhuone ei vastannut 4 tähden hotellia, oli epäsiisti ja suihku todella huono ja täynnä ötököitä. Muuten huone viihtyisä. Pikkulapsille ehdottomasti uimavaippojen käyttöpakko altaassa. Altaasta löytyi ulostetta emmekä kerinneet käyttää allasta ollenkaan yöpymisen aikana sen takia. Uimaranta oli todella matala ja ranta täynnä kivikkoa ja isoja kiviä

Plussat: We stayed at Zama for two days. We had a pool/sea view bungalow. Our stay was perfect; the staff is really sweet and helpful. Nice things; welcome drink, fresh fruit in the room, they clean the room every day, fresh towels when needed, cold water in the room every day, before you go to bed they prepare your room! It was pretty quiet at the resort so not sure how it is (especially the pool) when it is crowded.

Miinukset: The beach in front of the hotel, but there are beautiful beaches around...! The sunbed pillows are old and some with stains and holes.

Plussat: Good location not far from the beach with beautiful sunsets. Very tasty breakfast included. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. I’ll say Koh Phangan it’s less crowded than Koh Samui, nice to chill out .

Plussat: Paikan pitäjät olivat todella ystävällisiä ja mukavia. Huoneet oli todella siistejä. Ehdottomasti tälle paikalle iso suositus.

Plussat: Beautiful beach, nice resort, friendly stuff. They help you with everything. Clean place, perfect for families.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was perfect. If you don't like to have much kids around you, avoid this place

Plussat: Everything - very clean and beautiful resort, very nice people, great spacious bungalows, great beach, near a lot of healthy restaurants and cafés, you can do yoga on the porch! Really great! I will definitely come back!

Miinukset: They provide every day three bottles of water and sanitary products for free, which is actually so nice! But a refill and a soap dispenser is probably better, because of the plastic waste.

Plussat: Friendliness, flexibility and massive helpfulness from the staff...

Plussat: One of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Mr. Nice and the stuff are very kind and lovely. The food is great, the location is great. The room was very clean and equipped.

Plussat: Paradise in ear :-)

Plussat: Third time i visited Nice Sea Resort and Mr. Nice. It’s a lovely beautiful place directly on the beach. This time Mr. Nice even gave us an upgrade to the deluxe bungalow! Thanks again :)

Plussat: - restaurant was charming - staff was really awesome, nice, helpfull etc - i loved the fact chilly (dog at the place) did not really care about the people around. It was really cool to see she is allowed to have her own personality, rather than trying to force her to be friend of everyone - deep, clean swimming pool - perfect for chilling in the afternoon - close to really great beach - birds were sometimes loud - especially in the morning, but they were very beautifull and interesting - you feel like you are being surrounded by positivity all around you there

Miinukset: +/- restaurant was a little bit pricey for thailand in some situations, but that's caused by the fact it was good. Wouldn't nececerily call it issue of this place, rather than that - koh phangan places to eat are more expensive, than other locations in the country - azbestos as the roof of the house was extremely surprising, but from what we could see, this place is not exception to use it - more places has it (unless it's not azbestos and just looks like it)

Plussat: The staff was super sweet and helpful. The dorms are quite simple, but you have everything you need and this is definitely a good value for money. But the best thing about this place is location! I just love this part of the island, quite, calm and cozy. The beach is beautiful and just couple of minutes away. And of course the terrace with food and drinks was just lit.! Thank you for a great stay!

Plussat: Quiet location in the north of the island, closest beach was 2 mins walking away, other nice beaches 8/15 mins by motorbike. (The north of the island has the best beaches for snorkeling) The swimming pool is open 24 h, it is nice to get there for an evening bath or just for reading a book. Otherwise the reception and restaurant is a good place for socialise and listening some music. Staff was friendly and professional, I forgot my kindly in the bungalow and they emailed me to letting me knwo that after my checkout.

Miinukset: Bad smell from the bathroom.

Plussat: - curtains for every dorm capsule and therefore lots of privacy even in the dorm - locker for ever bed with lots of storage space - pool - absolutely no mosquitos in the dorms

Miinukset: - so many mosquitos in the open showers/toilets (I know you can't fully prevent it, but this was a nightmare) - every dorm bed has a plug but they were literally unusable because whatever you put into the plugs will fall out and not hold in (you need to construct your own holder for the charger from tape)

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Thank you for your perfect service an making my trip awesome :).

Plussat: The hotel was amazing, it is a bit far from the central location but it was perfect for us as we rented scooters and whenever we wanted to be close to the nightlife we drove down but when we wanted to rest we were in a quite area.

Plussat: We got a good deal for one night and stayed an extra one as well. The location is very nice, I liked the beach a lot. Pool was quite deep and good for swimming, breakfast buffet was my favorite so far.

Miinukset: Depending on the time you book, it can get expensive, wouldn’t pay the regular price for the garden hut

Plussat: great staff, very clean

Plussat: This place is simply beautiful we had a last minute beachfront bungalow deluxe just on the beach very spacious and superclean very good breakfast all good

Miinukset: The plastic chairs and old sunbeds at 150 bath and the restaurant full of flies very disturbing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Breakfast not refill after 10h

Plussat: The Longbay Resort has the best Beach. Sparkle clean bungalow, very comfortable mattrasse. The sunset from the Beach it’s amazing.

Miinukset: Maybe the price in middle of january a little bit overrated.

Plussat: The breakfast, the towels, the lovely staff, the view on the beach, the pool... Amazing stay

Miinukset: The bathroom smelled a little

Plussat: Great beach. Beautiful sand and water. Pool was nice, too. Yummy breakfast.

Miinukset: There was confusion over my paying for the room. I paid online and they told me I needed to pay cash, twice. I was put in a far away room, which looked into a construction building and didn't have good wifi.

Plussat: Aamupala oli tosi hyvä! Ihana ranta aivan vieressä. Henkilökunta oli todella ihana ja ystävällinen!

Miinukset: En pitänyt sängystä ja tyynyistä. Molemmat olivat erittäin kovia enkä kyennyt nukkumaan hyvin.

Plussat: Nice location and bungalow, spacious and nice. Comfortable big bed.

Miinukset: Shower almost on top of toilet, and too short for me. Breakfast was ok.

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice, restaurant food too.

Plussat: The location is great View of the beach from our room Pool is nice and also clean Restaurant had great food and good prices Lots to do in the area Great location Scooter to rent on the premises Transfer to pier through hotel

Miinukset: The rooms were not cleaned properly, we had to ask reception for the bins to be emptied and rubish taken away. The staff didnt seem happy to be there ...apart from the restaurant staff, they were nice.

Plussat: Great beach...kinda big and lots of stairs...staff was efficient .. loved the kayaks and the chicken sandwiches.

Miinukset: Price..especially when I had to carry my own bags down the stairs.

Plussat: The location at the beach is good

Miinukset: People are laying their towels early in the morning on the beach or pool chairs to reserve places and the hotel accepts that. Even if you go there at 7am you are not able anymore to find a place. The restaurant was soso. People were walking in the restaurant with dripping clothes or or just in shorts. The facilities are old and not very clean. Some staff members seemed overworked. Cleanliness was not really nice.

Plussat: We love Salad Beach. We've been about 5 times before. Gorgeous beach, nice comfortable bungalows, reasonable price, nice pool, lovely gardens and great staff in the restaurant.

Miinukset: The only reason I don't give a 19 is because breakfast is the same every day. It's decent, but does get a bit boring after a while

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta ja loistava aamiainen. Huoneet siistit

Plussat: Nice lagoon and free sunbeds,also choice on breakfast,pancakes were very tasty

Miinukset: On first look place looks so peacefull unless you find out you have motorbike parking besides your window,what is terrible during night and from the other site was small shelter where use to sit ppl chatting whole evening.. we also did not like that before you go to restaurant you can see few notes that dogs dont below to this resort and do not touch them as resort is not responsible for any harm.but dogs were everywhere during breakfast,they pee on kayaks or sunbeds and no one cares at all. They should st least during meal time do something with them,but restauramt staff hardly take your order...For this kind of reaort I would also expect to have normal cutlery and plates,but half of them were broken with missing parts... and u definately need a scooter if you would like to go to 7/11 as there are some markets,but...doggy

Plussat: Pool area is ok and looks maintained

Miinukset: View and noise of the room is terrible. I stayed in this hotel with my girlfriend. Anyway they put us in a room which is part of a big family room. Our room is the back part of the family room. The rooms are seperated with a big locked door. We hear each noise of the people who lived in the front part of the family room. From the back part you can see only a wall. I am really wondering how greedy the hotel owner must be, that they put guests in such kind of a room, who are not travelling together. Maybe if you travel as a bigger group or family it is ok. So your kids can sleep in that room. Staff and service is average Breakfast is nothing special. Pool area is ok. Restaurants and bars around the hotel are less. It is very calm. The beach is ok. But in compare to other beaches at Koh Phangan it is one of the worst. I am really wondering why so many people rate this hotel with more than 8 of 10 and call the beach as a "dream beach". Did they never travel before or saw other places in Thailand and Koh Phangan? By the way... the price for this room was about 60€ or 1800 THB. You can find easily cheaper Hotels or Resorts at Haad Khom or Thong Nai Pan Yai with the same standard as Salad Beach Resort. By the way the most 5 Star Hotels at Koh Phangan are in the area of Thong Nai Pan Yai. Ask yourself why they put their 5 Star Hotels over there... You get in that area much more for the same money as at Haad Salad. Salad Beach Resort is to expensive for the offered facility in compare to other spots in Thailand and Koh Phangan.

Plussat: Aamupala oli monipuolinen ja henkilökunta aamupalallaa oli ystävällisiä. Hotellin uima-allasalue oli viihtyisä. Hotellin sijainti oli hyvä.Lähellä rantaa ja kauppoja.

Miinukset: Hotellin respassa oli ammattitaidoton mieshenkilö töissä. Ei kuunneellut asiakasta ollenkaan, josta koitui useampaan otteeseen aikamoista koheltamista ja virheensä laittoi asiakkaan piikkiin. Huoneestamme hajosi ilmastointilaite, jonka korjaamista odotimme 6h, koska mies oli tilannut korjaajan väärään huoneeseen, vaikka kirjoitti huoneen numeron oikein paperille kyllä. Jouduimme yöpymään toisessa huoneessa, koska eivät saaneet laitetta korjattua. Seuraavana päivänä mies sanoi, että olimme hajottaneet kaukosäätimen ja nyt jos haluamme vaihtaa säätöä meidän tulisi soittaa hänelle joka kerta. Kerroimme, että ei kaukosäätimessä ollut mitään vikaan vaan laitteesta kuului poksahdus joka viittaisi sulakkeen palamiseen. Hänelle tieto oli kuin uusi ja hän kysyi miksi emme ole sanoneet. Olimme sanoneet asiasta kolmesti hänelle.... Hänen käytöksensä oli muutenkin asiatonta...ja kohellusta riitti. Muu henkilökunta oli osaavia ja ystävällisiä onneksi kuitenkin.

Plussat: 1. Right on the beach. 2. Bungalow style was beautiful. 3. Food at restaurant was good priced and delicious. 4. Clean pool 5. Sunset location 6. Buffet breakfast 7. Shops are in front of hotels with several ATM.

Miinukset: 1. No kettle in room. Needed to ask from reception 2. Room in building was high walking up on many steps. 3. WiFi in bungalow could not be connected easily. 4. Bathroom gave the unclean feeling with black tiles. 5. Hardly smile staffs gave unwelcoming feeling.

Plussat: Ranta ja puutarha

Miinukset: Rähjäisen näköiset koirat muodostaneet ranta-alueelle keskenään yhteenottavia laumoja. Tappelevat melkoisen rajusti keskenään. Saavat pyöriä melkein kaikissa ravintoloissa vapaasti vieraiden jaloissa ja pöytien alla. Joidenkin turistien rantatavarat saivat myös virtsaisen tervehdyksen. Liikkuvat hotellien alueilla ja haukkuvat öisin. Olemme olleet aiemminkin samassa hotellissa noin neljä vuotta sitten ja silloisten kokemusten perusteella halusimme käydä uudestaan kohteessa. Henkilökunnan käytös on myös hieman muuttunut; eivät ole yhtä ystävällisiä kuin ennen.
