Great hotel”

Everything is great about this hotel. Good value for money (got a better deal just coming in and asking at the reception). Rooms are nice and spacious and clean. Location is very good, right at the beach but also central Thongsala and reachable by foot to shops/food courts etc. Nice pool. The beach is more rocky and more for kitesurfers than swimming tho. Staff is very friendly, even printed some papers that I needed for free.

Clean mini resort feel with great value”

Great little resort near Thong Sala pier. I checked out all the "guesthouses" and bungalow style accomodations within 2 kms of this place walking around for 2 hours with a heavy backpack only to return to this one and stay for 2 weeks. I stayed in the Standard room and the Standard bungalow room, both were very clean, comfortable and great for the money. Beds: Most of the beds were the standard thai hard beds but some of these rooms have softer beds and I'd suggest asking which rooms are available and checking them first to pick. Rooms: Don't let the resort feel fool you, this is still a cheaper accommodation so it'snot perfect. Some rooms had burnt bulbs, questionable patio door balcony locks or issues with the shower... but the staff fixed any issues (if possible) within reasonable time. Location: Great place 1 street away from the main street but quiet, right on the beach with a clean pool and restaurant which serves great food, albeit a bit overpriced. Overall A+ rating

Affordable Beachfront Resorts next to the Kitesurfing School”

The location is great which is near the town, easy to find food and go to the food court (walkable), not too far there are boxing gym and walking street on Saturday. The resorts has a restaurant if you are lazy to go out here is great but pricey than outside. The kitesurfing spot is next door which is very convenient for anyone who like to stay for weeks and waiting for the wind. Cons: wifi is unstable in the guestrooms, not good if you need to important conf call

Great stay and friendly staff”

Myself and partner booked 3 nights in a standard room and ended up extending our stay for an additional 3 nights as we loved it. The room was spacious, had great air con, a mini fridge and balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has it's own private area of the beach with loungers and huge pool. It was quiet when we were there so we had the pool to ourselves most days. It's around 10mins walk to thong sala town and phantip market. Would suit couples or families looking for a relaxing break away. We will be back thank you for an amazing stay!!

Lucery gottages on the beach”

Exceptional”

We came here as a couple and stayed for a few nights. The room was exemplary clean & the staff was super friendly. For example late checkout could be easily arranged & the receptionist helped us booking the trip to our next travel destination. All in all I highly recommend this place!!

Exceptional”

Have been at this hotel twice because we liked the service so much the first time, and wasnt disappointed the second time either. The staff was very helpful and service minded. We are travelling as a group, and have stayed at a few hotels in Thailand now, and this one is the best in terms of service. The rooms are also really nice, with a good location and good beds. Would really reccomend!

Great Location, epic sun sets”

Cool place near everything, nice beach to chill, rooms nice and big, great sun sets.

Good holiday ”

Beautiful place for stay easy and near the city and market 👍👍👍😍😍🏝🏝

Nice place.”

Very nice and good price. And i close walking to everything in thongsala.

Great spot on the beach”

The location is great. I had a beach view villa which was lovely. I stayed during Songkran so it was a bit more expensive than usual. The bar/restaurant is quite basic. But overall its lovely.

Right on the beach and only a block away from the popular night market!”

Clean spacious bungalows. Free transfer to the pier. I was a bit disappointed in the pool since it was very "cloudy" and only 2 sunbeds. The beach isn't the greatest for swimming but great for watching kitesurfers.

Great value for your money”

So far nothing to complain, the only thing is the toilet I guess its mounted the wrong way you have to climb over it :)

Good”

Helpful front desk and nice garden. Resort in general seems outworn, especially beach/pool area and rooms. We visited in low season. No smart TV. Electrical kettle upon request.

Not a nice place”

Da kanda was a disappointment. The grounds are not nice. The rooms are basic and spartan. View from the beachside villas was nice. However the beach was unkept and rough. We went there when things were locked down for covid so take that into consideration.

A big let down”

One thing I hate is when a hotel post pictures of rooms and when you check in and discover your room looks nothing like what you booked. Our villa was terrible. It was dark, dirty and stank of mould. I complained and was put in a room that looked the same as the last but had no mould smell. Very unhappy. The beach is full of sharp stones and coral and not great for swimming. Hotel location is on a quiet road and a 10 - 15 min taxi to the Full Moon Party. Would not stay here again

Avoid this hotel at all costs !!!”

This hotel is TOXIC !! They bomb their rooms with a perfumed concoction to cover up molds. fungus and odors, and with no screens on doors and windows, to kill all insects. The smell is overwhelming and settled poisons won't go away. As a health professional I know that when any human breaths these poisons all night long its damaging to one's health. After at least 100 hotel stays in Asia, I've never been to a hotel that was more toxic than the DaKanda. I got an instant headache and nausea. When I asked for my money back it was denied. I had to walk away to find another hotel. If you read this and still book a room at this hotel you'd be foolish. People have died in hotels in Thailand who bomb their rooms with toxins like this.

Not worth the money, superior room was the same as standard!!!! ”

My partner and I checked in with our friend no problem, we were disappointed in our room, no satellite or movies as stated, dated room. Then an hour later the reception came and told us our friend he had to leave as they had double booked. She then took him and said she had another room and a different amount of money, we were all confused with the situation, she offered for him to stay in out room on a concrete ledge with foam on it for extra 800 bhat!!!!! In the end he stayed in his original room, adding to the confusion. My partner and I went to his room which was basic, but there was no difference exept he had a better TV than us!!! And we paid more.

don't go there”

worst hotel I have ever been super dirty, old.... full of animals in the cabins, mosquitos,geckos (aluve and dead), dirty and broken sheets.... there is nothing around only the beach pool wasnt very clean either never coming back

Best resort ever!!!!”

We stayed at Da Kanda for our honeymoon from August 23-26, 2018 and again from August 28-September 1, 2018. We left in between to head farther south on Koh Phangan for the full moon party and planned to go to another island, however our initial stay was so incredible all we wanted to do was go back! The beach was the best we encountered on the entire island (and we scootered around about half of it), the staff, especially Nan and Yu, were the friendliest and most accommodating hosts you could ask for, and the resort ambience was unparalleled. We travelled during a low season and had the beach and entire resort to ourselves much of the time. We spent the days playing cards on the balcony of our beachfront villa, walking the beautiful beach, and swimming in the perfect pool. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing, beautiful, and memorable honeymoon spot. When we returned the second time Nan and Yu knew we were coming back due to our reservation and made sure we had the BEST villa at the resort. They put sweet smelling flowers and swan towels on our bed and lovingly showed us to our room with huge smiles. It was an unforgettable trip and we will absolutely return. We are so grateful to have chosen this resort and it continues to be the best decision we made while in Thailand.
