Lovely Place”

Pros: staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our experience on Koh Phangan a great one. They gave us great tips on where to go and the bar even let me play music from my phone over the sound system. The food was good, although the Thai food was toned down for tourists. The bed was comfortable. We often just stayed on the resort and relaxed in the hammocks under the palm trees. Cons; The facility has a policy regarding no food or drinks from outside. It was a little strange, but it makes sense since you’re kind of isolated. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow and a mosquito coil was definitely needed. That’s to be expected in Thailand though. It was a great place and we would recommend the resort to anyone. The pool was wonderful and the staff was so nice! FYI, if it is your first time on Koh Phangan the beaches are super flat and the tidal shifts make the beaches hard to swim at. That is true for most of the beaches on Phangan.

Perfect stay at an amazing price”

We stayed at Phangan Beach Resort on the night of full moon party. We were greeted very nicely by the owner of the resort (forgot her good name). The cold breeze, calm ambiance and amazing beach made this resort a perfect place to stay. The location is very convenient from both Thongsala pier and Haadrin beach. Highly recommended for any couple who wants to spend an amazing time in their holiday.

Stunning vista, value for money”

We stayed at Phangan beach resort for 2 nights, the resort is complete value for money. It is hardly 3 kms from Thong Sala and further 8 kms to Haad Rin..very conveniently located. Resort has a stunning vista,from beach to pool to hammocks to pool side bar...the place is totally worth it. One disappointment, resort has no food and no alcohol from outside which is quite a bummer!!

Loved it, great staff!! ”

had a great stay hear, people working there are so fun! some of them even went out partying with us! the bungalows were really clean and nice. the pool was great. it was really quiet and a short distance from haadrin, where all the party is. 100 bahts to haad rin, 100 bahts to the half moon party. loved my stay here, i'm definately staying there again when i go back to koh phangan. food was also really good.

Comfortable but too warm”

We had a 5 night stay at Phangan Beach Resort. As a resort I really liked it... the restaurant had a great menu (I am a fussy person... the chicken burgers were great!) and some really hard working staff, and had a lovely pool and massage area for guests. They were also well organised for the Full Moon Party and if that was something you came specifically for you would have a great night. BUT... there were some considerable down sides to our stay. I had read a bunch of reviews about upgrading to an airconditioned room but chose not to take the advise... TAKE THE ADVICE! Especially if you are a warm sleeper like me. We stayed in the budget room for 4 with no airconditioning. Only if you are on a really tight budget should you reserve this room for 4 people. There was barely enough room to walk between the 2 beds and it was basically a wooden teepee so it felt quite closed in with the roof that way. Your bathroom, though you don't share it with others, is not connected to the room so you have to leave your room to get to it and there was no hot water. So the room wasn't ideal so choose a more expensive room for sure. We also had a frog (we think) that woke us up a number of times each night... not much you can do about it but if we had airconditioning drowning out the noise a bit it would have helped. The worst part about our stay was that my complete jewellery collection went missing on the day of check out. I shouldn't have left it out of my bag, but it was locked in our room right next to our almost completely packed bag while we went for a last breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel. Our server came to inform us it was checkout time so my partner went and got the bags (not knowing what I had left out). My jewellery wasn't seen again and the hotel did not respond to my email about my missing jewellery.

Beautiful beach”

Visited many islands in Thailand over the past month and Phangan definitely had the best beach. Its private with a bar for partying and hammocks and bean bags for relaxing. Food is gorgeous and the staff there are really friendly (in particular the dude who looks about 12 but is probably 30) Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Delicious food”

After paying 600 baht a night for a bungalow in Koh Toa that reeked of mold, had a toilet that didn't flush, and the shower dripping ocean water at a rate of 4 drops a minute this place was luxury. At first when checking in we were a little off put by meeting who I assumed to be the manger and the secluded location. But after settling in and having an excellent meal we realized it was paradise to have the entire beach to ourselves. We almost extended our stay just for the amazing food. Literally everything we had was terrific and plated perfectly. Now the good but not so great: No wifi in the rooms, only on the beach close to the restaurant and bar. Cold shower Most importantly they burned their compost or trash 5 feet away from our bungalow. I'm not quite sure if they thought it was okay because it's down season and wouldn't disturb as many people...But it kept us off the beach or anywhere near the resort. All in all though, I would stay again for the secluded vacation feel

beachfront location - friendly staff ”

We visited in the low season and in the week before the full moon party for a reason = to get a few days peace and quiet on the beach. Our objective was fulfilled at this charming low key resort; very quiet, lovely staff; the wood bungalows on the beachfront are cosy and clean if a little dated. We walked on the beach, relaxes in the hammocks, had several massages in the poolside massage sala and drank nice cocktails at sunset at the beach bar. The manager said the resort had checkin of 50 persons 2 days before full moon party - so we were happy to leave but will be back sometime.

Stunning location on the beach”

this resort was awesome! the location is great, easy location to access the island, and many resturants and bars nearby. i would highly recommend memory thai resturant for quality thai food, and friendly service. the resort has a semi private beach, which makes it very quiet and excellent for relaxing. there are hammacks on the beach too. the pool is nice and the water was clear and clean. i would say this place is very well kept - the employees were always busy cleaning, sweeping, etc. beautiful place, felt like we should have paid 10x more. we liked it so much, we stayed 2 more nights! we booked the economy twin which was the smallest accomodation on site. a word of caution: it's similar to a greenhouse in that the front wall is all glass (tinted) so it gets hot in the day, and the fan did not keep it cool enough, so we never were able to sit in the room until late - and it was still warm. it was managble though, it is thailand afterall. i would not hesitate to return!!

Excellent location, excellent staff, reccomended!”

Very small and hot bungalow but nice location”

The bungalow was exetremely hot and it was impossible to be inside during the day. We had to go outside to cool down when we woke up in the morning, but it was OK at night. The surroundings and features of the hotel were great. Clean nice pool, nice beach side. Extremely shallow so not good for swimming but that goes for most of the island. Nice hammocks and bar on the beach. We rented a motor bike for our whole stay in koh phangan (5 days all together). Absolutely recommended, but be careful at night. A lot of drunk driving. If we were to stay here again we would go for A/C.

Beautiful resort”

Booked this resort after walking past it previously. Booked B2 beach front room. Loved it. Great thai reclining cushions outside so you can relax watching the waves. Loved the outside toilet and shower. People complaining about bugs or mosquitos, this is Thailand. You need to toughen up.. Resort runs a no food and drink policy from outside but I, m sure as long as your not bringing in large carry outs, pizzas and kebabs you'll be ok. Staff very nice, restaurant good. Swimming pool and bar great. Bar stools in the pool. Chilled music on through out the day but kept to a nice level. Activities, kayaks, wind kite surfing available. 3 minutes on bike to Nightlife and restaurant area around Food factory, 2 or 3 minutes walk to road where plenty of baht bus taxis passing .. If your after 5 star accommodation,wanting free upgrades this or that, maybe not for you.To round up. I thought it was excellent. Had everything we needed and the view is amazing

Amazing owners, perfect for a group”

Everything about this resort was beautiful and the service was great. The restaurant had good food and we enjoyed the swimming pool and beach bar. Also, do yourself a favor a get a massage next to the pool. The Beach Front Bungalow was very nice. I little dark inside, but we didn't spend a lot of time inside anyway. The bathroom/shower is outside the bungalow, but very private, clean and nice. There weren't many other guests at the time we were there, so it got a little lonely, and we had to go to Haad Rin area for some more action. It was easy reaching this area, as taxis pass the resort frequently. We thought that this resort would be perfect for a group of friends traveling together.

Nice, well run little resort - get aircon though”

We made some great friends during our 4 day stay here in an aircon bungalow which was fine for our needs but if you want to unpack your clothes there's very little room. Bed was comfy, aircon strong , shower good & spacious (outside space though, attached to bungalow at the back). NB - others who only had fan rooms really suffered in the heat. Staff were friendly, efficient and laid on a buffet and transfer direct to the full moon party so we felt well looked after given the high security presence on party nights. The only downside was the strictly enforced rule of no water, no food or alcohol allowed from off the premises and several guests were fined. This seems standard practice in Phangan but it leaves a bad taste. Elsewhere on the island you need your wits about you if taking taxis especially.....we met some nasty rip-off drivers (and had some hair-raising rides) which is a real shame and unlike our experience in the rest of Thailand. In short some locals on the island are clearly hardened to tourists and partygoers and are out for all they can get. Remember this and you can still have a good time.

Beautifully amazing”

Our stay was great. We were there over the full moon period and the resort were more than helpful in organising a return shuttle for all its guests. They also have a a pre full moon pool party the night before which is themed and a free BBQ on the night of the full moon. We had a fan room which was just too hot as we didn't have nets to leave the windows or doors open but again the owners were more than willing to help and gave us a second freestanding fan which helped - I'd recommend air con if available. Also, it wasn't a big deal but none of the bungalows have safety deposit boxes but you can leave your dreams keep items in their main safe which we didn't have a problem with. Katie who I think was the manager is amazing and extremely kind and funny :) The pool was clean, cool and amazing. A great place to meet people and socialise! We definitely recommend the resort and would 100% stay there again.

Beautiful little place”

This resort is right on the beach and we had a lovely time sitting on the balcony drinking the reasonably-priced beer even though it was rainy season. The food was not quite so reasonably-priced but was not expensive and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The owner was very insistent that we should not bring food or drink in, I guess it happens a lot, but apart from that was extremely helpful about things to do on the island.

Nice location right on the beach”

The Resort itself is a little dated, the bungalow we stayed in was the basic a/c bungalow and there was only one power point (even though the room came with a TV and a DVD player) The staff were pretty friendly and booked our ferry from Phangan to Samui for us was really excellent. The resort also has a rule about no outside food or drink, which we took pretty seriously meaning we had to smuggle in our bottles of water from 7/11 which was a bit annoying. This place has a private beach which is lovely to sit at (not so much to swim as the water is very shallow) they have a bar right on the beach which plays loud music in the afternoon which we didn't enjoy that much but some other guests seemed to be into it. Overall a pretty good cheap place to stay

Beautiful location and facility”

Easy to get to from the pier and located in a tucked away stretch of beautifully maintained beach, services, breakfast, and facilities are top knotch. You'll need a scooter to explore. The staff does make relaxation difficult as answers to questions will be greeted with a quick no even if the service was clearly listed with price in the room information, you may be told the wrong prices by staff but left with a different total at the desk without any recourse, outside food or drink can cost a hefty fine, and you end up feeling on edge during your stay. This was our 7th stop and the only hotel demanding immigration paperwork (like plane tickets into the country and our stamped customs departure slip) and holding our passports (even though the room was prepaid).

An amazing stay”

Wasnt sure what to expect when booking somewhere based on pictures and reviews online. But blown away with the hospitality, location and services provided by this resort. The staff were all so pleasant, friendly and willing to help when needed. The food was also lovely. Andy and Bob recommended great places to visit and restaurants to eat at which were also amazing. We also rented a bike through the aid of the hotel and had no problems whatsoever if my travels bring me back to thailand i will defiantly be staying here again!!
