Excellent stay, loved the pool, beautiful beach to walk depending on tides. Short walk into town. Staff were super friendly and helpful. From the reception staff, Sudo and team at breakfast and the ground staff keeping the place immaculate. Thanks for a lovely stay. Mark & family ❤️

Nice pool, close to where we wanted to be, the swimming pool and bar were good, I would stay again but in a normal room rather than a villa.

Villas had very little soundproofing, seemed to be prefabricated, with thin floors and walls, only a curtain separating bedroom to toilet, no privacy when taking a s##t, pool villa pool wasn't worth having it was more like an outside bath tub.

Pool was great, although salt water - nice and cool Bed were soft, which were great Rooms cleaned well every day Food was good, but at times had to catch someone's attention to order, which was not easy at times Gym was really good Location was good, and bad - away from the noise but on a busy road Hotel staff really good The hotel is really nice, just a few tweaks here and there. Overall, I would return, except for ferry ride - that can be interesting at times

Beach was disappointing, compared to many others on the island Some guests just didn't appreciate that others around didn't want to hear them shout all the time at each other - lower the volume. Sun beds got soaked, the cushions never put away, and the metal framed sunbeds, not comfy at all Gym was good, but the rules need to be applied - kids present, flips flops or bare feet, speakers playing loud music, no towels, no disinfectant, kids running round, equipment not put away (lazy people, but back to the nationalities involved) One room key, pulsating shower, flashing fire detector, bright aircon display, flashing key slot all made it a disco at night.

Large nice room. Huge pool area, room for everyone. Clean, modern hotel which is not always easy to find in Koh Phangnan. The location is good, at least we enjoyed the village but we visited when it was NOT full moon party. I can imagine the village having a complete different vibe during full moon. Very far from places like zen beach but we of course knew that. Local taxi service is available and easy to use but not very comfortable haha. Be aware that the route to haad rin is VERY hilly and dangerous so its not for inexperienced scooter drivers. Hotel staff very nice.

Breakfast wasnt great. Weird coffee system. We were lucky to get upstairs room so noice was not an issue but we heard our own foot steps, cant even imagine how it sounds for the room down below. Also big minus for NO DOOR FOR BATHROOM!! just a curtain. To what sort of travelers is that designed for? I cant imagine anyone enjoying that literally zero noise or smell privacy

The resort itself is absolutely beautiful with breath taking views of the sunset. We booked the Suite Villa with Sea View and were placed in the downstairs villa which did not resemble the photos which left us quite disappointed. However, the operations manager was quick to swap us to the upstairs room. Once we swapped rooms, we had the best stay and were very happy. The staff here are amazing. Breakfast was great but go early as it gets super busy and isn't big enough to cater for the flood of guests.

Just be warned, if you book the Suite Villa with Sea View ask for the villa upstairs as it's the only villa that looks like the picture. Not much to do in Haad Rin. My partner and I are not party people, so we avoided going when the full moon parties were on however that meant that Haad Rin was a complete ghost town.

Some places don’t just offer you a stay—they give you an experience. And Valora Vannee Golden Sands Beachfront Resort is one of those rare gems. From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. The staff were warm, attentive, and truly went out of their way to make me feel at home. A shining example of Thai hospitality. The pool with a direct view of the sea was absolutely spectacular. Floating there while the sun dipped into the ocean in a swirl of golden colors was pure magic. The restaurant also provided excellent service, with delicious dishes and kind, attentive staff throughout. The resort is very close to Haad Rin Beach, known for its beauty and the iconic Full Moon Parties—yet the location is peaceful enough for a relaxing escape when you want it. But here’s what really made my experience unforgettable: I accidentally left behind my electric toothbrush, and not only did the staff find it—they kindly and honestly arranged to have it sent all the way to Phuket! That level of honesty and kindness is rare and truly worth highlighting. 🙏 I am so happy and grateful I chose this place. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, beachfront beauty, and genuinely caring service, this resort is a wonderful choice.

Great location, staff always happy to help... ended up staying an extra night and staff were helpful and gave us a small discount and let us keep the same room! :) Breakfast was good.... I liked the fact that they had alternative milk option's, as i am dairy free. Dinner... tried this one evening only.... not many vegetarian options. Pool..... plenty of space to sunbathe and easily accessible to the beach.

Location is abit out of the way from most tourist attractions. .. for example, various different places were only accessible via a scooter or paying too much for a taxi... but this didn't ruin the overall experience....as we still enjoyed our time away and ended up extending our stay by an extra night.

Absolutely amazing hotel! The facilities were beautiful—stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Everything from the pool area to the lounge spaces had a luxurious feel, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. The staff were warm and attentive, and every detail felt well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—would highly recommend and definitely return!

There was a wedding taking place during our stay, and unfortunately, some of the guests were quite demanding and didn’t seem very respectful toward the staff. It created a bit of an uncomfortable atmosphere at times.

WOW.. You read Haad Rin location and think party town... this was anything but. Spectacular place with 4 swimming pools, loads of bathing areas, a stunning nearly private beach. What makes the place are the staff,l so helpful and friendly and a bit of fun, while remaining super professional. I LOVED this place. Our room was beautiful, all.modern amenities. Very comfortable beds, spotless clean. Service was great. The breakfast was varied and vast with something for everyone. The food in the restaurant was great. We didn't want to leave. You can walk to the central town of Haad Rin in 5 mins. Special mention to Bryan from.Burma... he was great at his job and really good sense of humour.

Nothing... it was perfect

Great location right on the beach & close to all the shops. Helpful staff. Water, fridge, coffee in rooms. Wonderful massage parlour, slightly dearer than if you go outside the hotel. Laundry service 5 minutes walk away. Free taxi rides provided by hotel. Close to shops, restaurants & full moon beach party. Breakfast had an omelette station, cereals, cakes, toast, salad. It was very busy so advise you to go early. Massive pool with elephant features. You must visit the little sweet shop next to the hotel on the beach. Fantastic cocktails, beers, food & so cheap. Enjoyed our stay.

When it rained the whole hotel became an ice rink. The staff were mopping floors as quick as they could but my friend slipped and hit her head on the floor. Over priced drinks. Visit the sweet shop on the beach!
