Sensational. This was my second time to Koh Phangan and I had such a better experience this time by choosing to stay next to the beach. Location a few mins walk from 7/11 and anything else between 10-30 mins walk to cafes and restaurants depending on what you want. Dorm room for 12 people was a great size, loads of room for bags and the lockers a good size for valuables. Luckily had really respectful guests sharing the dorm which makes a massive difference. Hard bed but got used to after the 2nd night and really comfy pillow. Linen and towels changed on request. Fantastic pool area with vibey chilled music, mostly available loungers and free pool towels to use. Restaurant food was fantastic and lots of veggie options on the menu, however, a little bit more expensive but still reasonably priced especially for the freshness and flavours. The reception staff were so so lovely too, always greeted with a smile and they were able to help me with laundry and booking a taxi to the pier. Sad that I had to leave after 5 nights, could have easily stayed here for 2 weeks it was so beautiful!

Inconvenient bathrooms inside the dorm - would have been better designed to have the showers separate from the toilets so there’s no queues in the morning, no hand soap and also there’s no windows or extractor fans, so the dorm can end up really smelly. No water or electricity for a couple of hours on one of the days, not the hostels fault as that’s general island life, but they did provide me with a bucket of water from another tap which wasn’t cut off so that I could shower the old fashioned way.

Probably the best resort I've been, based on quality-price. The gym, the pool , the beach volley net and the table tennis made difficult to us, to leave during the day in order to explore the island...it was way too comfortable XD

Part of the staff has been great to us, but unfortunately others has been unfriendly and almost rude to us (mostly the morning staff at the bar). Speaking with other guests it's a common feeling through the guest, so maybe something to work on if they want to improve as host (if they fix this honestly it would become a 10 stars place with few competitors among the Thai islands, at that price)

Stayed: July 11–13, 2025 I went with a friend but we booked separate rooms to enjoy some personal space — and honestly, I was so impressed with everything 💙 What I loved most: Amazing location — the hotel is literally beachfront! Just steps from the sand, with a pool right in the center and a beautiful garden yoga pavilion. Rooms were spacious, super clean, and better than expected — you can choose either sea view or garden view. Private beach = peaceful vibes — it was never crowded, perfect for tanning, relaxing, taking pictures, or just enjoying some quiet time. Staff were super friendly and helpful — they gave great recommendations for things to do, places to visit, and even helped book taxis for us. Delicious food and cozy café — plus all the staff speak English very well, so communication was super easy (Pad Thai is a must.) Favorite zones: The pool area The on-site bar near swimming pool The big, cozy rooms Who should stay here? Yoga lovers: there's a dedicated yoga shala and classes available. Partygoers: close to Jungle Party and Full Moon Party — hotel taxis can take you there. Digital nomads or peace-seekers: the private beach and quiet spaces are perfect for working or simply recharging. Families: also great for families! The rooms are spacious and can sleep several people. Even large families can book adjoining rooms for extra convenience. My overall feeling? “Waking up to the sound of waves, eating delicious food, and dancing the night away — it truly was a dream getaway.” Highly recommend this hotel — I truly had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back again.

The location is beautiful, right on the beach. Towels and water provided. Room was spacious and clean with massive bed. Aircon took a while to get going but was good at that point. HUGE bathroom and hot water in the shower. Lovely clean pool. Restaurant/bar in hotel open 9-9, not the cheapest but prices in line with other options on the island and food/drinks we had were good. 5 min walk from main road where there is a 7-11 and loads of fab food options (recommended spicy salad!!). Staff were super friendly and helpful and assisted in booking onwards boat travel. Songthaew from main port 150B pp.

Wifi in the communal area was good but was awful in the room itself. Really notable in the hotel is how many tour groups use it and it does feel like the overall priority is given to them (eg i was using the outdoor covered sitting area and was told i would have to move so an incoming tour could use it for briefing). People using the facilities in groups of 20+ also makes you feel like you are intruding when you use the pool/bar as a solo person which was something I haven't experienced before!

Everything about this place was amazing! The location is perfect, and the accommodation feels like a dream. Whether you’re solo travelling, on a budget, with friends, or as a couple, there’s a wide range of options, from dorms to bungalows—to suit every need. We stayed in the garden bungalow, which had three beds and was ideal for a family or group of friends. We also stayed in the budget bungalow, and both rooms were fantastic. Based on our experience, I imagine all the other accommodation options would be just as great. The bathrooms were clean, there was always hot water, and the property includes a pool, restaurant, ocean views, and super helpful staff. The rooms are also bug-proof with fly screens, which was a huge plus! Highly recommend! This place should be rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The A/C in the dorm was left on during the day which was incredible! They had a lovely kitchen with really good prices for the island. And of course the location was beautiful and right on the beach.

This is for the DORM, not the private rooms. If you have a bad back or have a hard time on bad mattresses, do not stay in the dorm. The mattress was awful and I was tossing and turning and would wake up in pain. Besides that, the bathrooms in the dorms were okay. They did not stock with TP but left it on the outside of the room for people to find.

Great location right by the beach, a lot of locations to just relax such as by the pool and bean bags on the beach. They also provide beach towels for no additional charge, which is great. Our bungalow was very clean, we loved the hamock! The food at the restaurant was really great, for reasonable price and you can find a little bit of everything on the menu.

When we arrived from the ferry we just used a taxi that was located there, but when we had to go back we asked they couldn't assist us much. It seemed as they had a transfer to the ferry but it was leaving much later than what we needed, it remained unclear. So make sure to ask beforehand.

The facilitiez were amazing with the infinity pool face to the beach, the bungalows around and the restaurant at the back. The hotel location was perfect with a direct access to the beach. The bungalow was also very spacious, comfortable and clean. Finally, the staff was very kind and helpful.

The only drawback I can mention is that the hotel is operating on 2 different segments which can not perfectly match. It has perfect location and facilities for travelers to enjoy such a peaceful atmosphere on beachfront, yet it is hindered by the presence of quite large groups of travelers coming at the same time. They are not necessarily misbehaving but as soon as you are more than 3 people you naturally tend to speak louder and believe the place is yours which does not leave enough room for other guests to enjoy the place in its natural and amazing atmosphere. Even if a group of travelers is undoubtedly very profitable, it is a pitty that such a lovely place spoils its highest potential. Otherwise, it would get an 11/10 rating.

It was a lovely little place in front of the beach located in the centre of Koh Phanghan. The room was nice and spacious, very nice bathroom as well. The place also offers a lot of services, a pool, a restaurant, massage service etc. the lady at reception was nice and helpful

It is not really the hotel in itself, but the island is very touristy, so it can be a bit pricey and it’s not a local experience for sure, but generally speaking it was reasonable. The pool tends to be overcrowded. We were staying right in front of a yoga class so sometimes we were woken up early from the music and the noise outside. Apart from that, everything was lovely.

I was in dorms . The place is maintained exceptionally. From cleanliness in the rooms, outside toilet and pool. The pool water has accurate amoubt of chlor and it feels great. The shower is comfortable and big, there are lockers in the room and the air colling works good, at least in my room. There is a shower near the pool so you can clean yourself before and after pool or sea. There is two stand up board for free use, and ball for vollyball. There is chair swing and seats on the beach which is nice and comfortable. There is free water for drink at the restaurant. The food is good with many options and decent prices.

The second floor bed has no handle so I found it pretty difficult to get up especially at night. My night lamp didn't work.
