Central
Cottage, Thong Nai Pan Bay
Tong Nai Pan Yai is heavenly - Central adds to it. Pool is a big bonus.
Cheap A frames too that gives you access to all. Breakfast limited
but OK. Price is good. Restaurant food very good. Check out Dolphin
- its great. Climb over or transfer to Tong Nai Pan Noi for a little
bit more action if necessary. |

Central Cottage, Thong Nai Pan Bay
Being a special occasion, we stayed in a superior beach front AC room
(C23)which was expensive for Thailand, and was a bit tired however
the location/view (right on the beach) more than made up for this.The
staff are very friendly/helpfull and the food is great. Central Cottages
location is ideal. There is building work taking place here, but is
hardly noticeable. Would def stay here again, but in a cheaper hut. |

Rooms small but clean, comfortable. Personal friendly. Tides almost
not visible. You can swim all day long. The sea is good but no marine
inhabitants in the bay. All suggest this hotel. |

Booked this on internet while we were travelling, thinking it would
be nice to get off the boat and check straight in to bungalow. It
was literally a shed on the edge of the beach and it hadn t been cleaned
from previous occupants. There was a big building site right in front
of the bungalow. We checked out straight away and walked up the beach
and found much better and cheaper about 200m away. |

I stayed with a friend in a superior bungalow - and I want to go back!
:-) 5 seconds from the beach, air-conditioning and TV (who needs that?),
clean, no bugs, nice staff, massage at the beach, very tasty and cheap
food... I had a great time! One important thing: DO NOT go on a longboat
with more than 15 people! I went to the full-moon-party in the south
of Koh Pha Ngan by longboat. There were about 35 people on it - no
space left. We nearly sank, one second later or one splash of water
more... Scary, irresponsible and life-threatening! On the way back
it was ok (as we were 16 people). Be sure to put your belongings into
a plastic bag (mobile, digi-cam, money...) as we were soaking wet
from the sea spray. |

Very good position in a paradisiac beach! Deluxe bungalows are spacious
enough but cleaning room service is not very good. Very good the restaurant
and staff very kindly. |

Central Cottage, Thong Nai Pan Bay
I was 26 & alone, there were only 10 other humans I saw on the whole
beach, 4 of them staying at Central Cottage. This place would be lovely
if you were with a group of friends or wanted a remote island feel
but you d have to stay in the concrete rooms, not the wooden air-con
huts. I woke up to a cockroach every day, room smelt damp too. The
restaurant was brilliant, LOADS of choice, pool table, freezing internet
cafe, loud good music from the DJ every night, raised area with floor
beds to chill out on both in the restaurant & on the beach. Could
be brilliant if in a nice room & with people. Lots of staff, fairly
friendly but it was just sooo dead there when I went in low season
they would sit with you while you decided what to order & sometimes
a bit moody because they were obviously bored. NOTHING AT ALL out
the front of the resort, so eating & drinking would be between their
restaurant & the other 6 small resorts along the same beach. Nice
for relaxing, no pool but a massive shop near buy selling great clothes
& everything else you could want. Nicest beach 10 secs away I saw
in Thailand!! |

Central Cottage, Thong Nai Pan Bay
Central Cottage was a great location. Great beach and a back packers
paradise. I would not advise for families or the elderly. However
the best idea would be to book your first night through sawadee.com
Then the next nights of your stay bargin for a cheaper price or try
one of the many bungalows located right next to Central Cottage on
the beach. There are some that are cheaper. The staff was pleasant,
but watch out for Eye(don t know the spelling but that s how its pronounced)
she s a great saleswomen. The bar at the hotel is the best on Thong
Nai pong. If you plan to go to bed early ask for a room away from
the bar. Other than that had a great experience and would travel again.
If you plan to go to full moon party stay on this beach. It s much
more relaxed, very clean and away from the crowds. |
