Haad Son Hotel and Resort Reviews, Koh Phangan, Thailand

*Reviews of recent stays*	*Comment on the hotel*
Michael Persberg 2008-03-21 until 2008-03-26	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son A very nice & friendly family hotel where we stayed for 5 days but we would definately have stayed longer if we hadn t already booked hotel on Koh Samui. We were there in the end of March and it felt as if we had the hotel, pool and beach, almost, to ourselves. We stayed in the beach bungalow and it was good but the shower didn,t have a curtain or something so the whole bathroom was soaking wet every time any of us (4!) took a shower.
Mr Quillot Eric 2008-02-21 until 2008-02-24	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son The room was not ready when we arrived @ 4pm. Garden AC Room are good but no tv, no fridge. Very good hotel, nice swimming pool. Restaurant ok but Thai food is awfull. It s not thai more western style. Private nice beach. Don t hesitate to rent a motorbike cause nothing to do in Haad Son. All is done for staying at the hotel !!
KJ 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-26	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son We have stayed here twice, 6 days in feb 2007 and 3 days in feb 2008. The resort is one of the best in Koh Phangan according to us. We had an Ocean view bungalow with an very lovely view of the ocean. The sunsets are amazing. The staff is nice and helpfull, especially the woman in charge of most of the things. The restaurant have small dishes and the staff are sometimes a little confused but they are nice and friendly. The pool is great. You can lie in the pool and watch the sunset. The resort has a private little beach. If you are looking for some peace and quiet Haad Son is perfect. Just 10 minutes drive to the north with bike is Koh Ma. We would definitive recommend Haad Son. If you stay at the resort you must try the coconutshake.
Carole Vary 2008-02-02 until 2008-02-05	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son We reserved 2 superior bungalos with AC and hot water for 4 persons. Since my first visit in January 2005, the hotel was entirely renovated and everything was just fantastic. Everything is cleaned and relaxed. The pool is quite nice and clean. I recommend this hotel if you are looking for something quiet away from Haad Rin. Haad Yao is just 5 minutes away by foot if someone wants to go out at night or see something else.The personnel is very friendly and helpful, I will go back again.
Jonny Carlred 2008-01-27 until 2008-02-01	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son Georgious hotel and fantastic beach with very few people, wonderful water. BUT, we stayed for five days, no cleaning in the room and we had to ask for toilet paper every day, even buy it one evening as the reception closed before 9 pm. Very few guests and as the hotel have chosen to have very high prices in the bar and restaurant were we the only guests in the restaurant, and the staff were playing pool. Not very nice environment. We only dined there once. For breakfast we took 3 coffee, 2 scrambled eggs with bacon, 2 juice, fresh fruit and youghurt with honey. They charged 650 baht. At the next stop they only charged 215 baht, same standard. It is too big difference to be fair.
Pierre Werner 2007-12-29 until 2008-01-06	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son we booked realy early, but we had a bungoalow far away by the street with a lot of traffic-noise night and day. i was not amused, but nobody can help and explain us this. the thaifood was a little bit to expensive for the quality and quantity and the european-food was an expirience ;-) the employee was realy friendly and helpful and the new-year-party was realy nice and funny.
Yifat Bergman 2007-12-24 until 2007-12-28	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son The hotel is not under constructin anymore, and it is GORGEOUS!!!! I think it s probably the only place in kohphangan that has a private beach, which is a big advantage comparing to other hotels. The beach looks amazing, and the resort is really beautiful. We stayed in the delux villa, which was in front of the beach, but I heard the more simple rooms are also really nice. The hotel has a lovely pool as well. The beach is five minutes walk from Haad-Yao, which is a little more crouded, and has many pubs and a few restaurants. The only disadvantage of the hotel is it s restaurants. The dishes are really small, and breakfasty is lacking in size and taste. While we stayed there was a full moon party in Hadd Rin. We took a taxi there, as all the guests were going. The taxi costs 200 bhats from the hotel, and the ride is about 20 minutes. When we returned we were even more appreciative of the resort, as it is very different from the croudy atmosphere in Hadd-Rin. The only reason we re hesitant about recommendig this place is that we would wish too keep it quiet and available for our next visit to Thailnd...
Frank Lehmann 2007-07-20 until 2007-07-27	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son Actually construction works for a new restaurant and appartment building ongoing. We have booked the view point villas, furnished very poor. Staff is very reluctant. With all this we left after 2 days.
Christine Grindley 2007-04-01 until 2007-04-05	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son The resort lies on a hill overlooking a beautiful bay. The beach is small but is solely used by Haad Son and the sunsets are fantastic. Bear in mind that the resort is currently upgraded and there is a lot of construction work going on. When we were there, we had a great bungalow on the other side of the building site and escaped the noise in the mornings by having breakfast elsewhere. All in all a great place with a lovely pool and very kind staff! Before booking, check the building progress or see whether you get a discounted rate.
Devere 2007-04-01 until 2007-04-04	Haad Son Resort, Ao Haad Son I have stayed here the last two years... Haad son has a GREAT location... The only issue is, they seem to be constantly building on it!! Thankfully we were staying on the opposite side to the drilling, but still, beware, the building will continue for another 2 months at least. Maybe next year they will be done and you will be able to enjoy Haad son for what it is, a fabulously located resort with nice new rooms I guess...
