Good value, great location. Quiet end of the bay, a short walk to
the beach. No-AC bungalows very basic, but adequate. VIP AC bungalows
well equipped. Staff very courteous, English speaking, friendly to
our entire family. Food good. Standard services. Would definitely
return! |

Older, larger hotel on the edge of downtown area. Some rooms newly
remodeled, others need repair. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice restaurant
with good breakfast buffet. |

The bungalow are good. But the staff don t clean daily bungalow. You
must remember every day that the bungalow must cleaned. This is no
good. My Bungalow with air/con and Tv (never watching it)but no freeze.
Breakfast not inclused. Many expansive for service. |

I stayed here with my husband for 3 nights during the full moon party
period. Overall we got what we paid for, our beach bungalow was ?14.00
per night. However, no hot water and the bathrooms were a bit shabby.
Overall the staff were friendly and the food was good. This resort
is in quite a remote area so if you want bars and shops then stay
further south as taxi s are less frequent in this direction and can
end up costing you a fortune. |

We were with a group of 11 people and stayed in 5 bungalows next to
eachother. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was good
as well, especially given the very reasonable prices over there. The
only problems we faced were the distance to the port and the poor
quality of the rental cars. For people looking for a good, cheep and
quiet place to stay on Koh Phangan we highly recommend this resort.

We did have a probem with the booking. Our booking was in Koh Phangan
from Aug. 11th to the 12th. We wanted to stay longer at the Royal
Orchid Resort so we changed and confirmed the new dates with Sawadee.com.
We changed it to Aug. 9th-12th with the same confirmation we got back
from Sawadee.com. So Sawadee.com confirmed our stay. However when
we got there one of the staff became a problem for us along with our
booking dates. We gave him our confirmation but he said he only had
the old reservation(11th-12th) and not the new one(9th-12th). So he
gave our room away for those days and then sent us to his friends
place up the road. Before I went up the road, I asked him to call
Sawadee to see what was the problem. His friends place had no AC,
no toliet paper, had many bugs, and no ocean view which I wanted.
So I got my money back from his friend and moved into the Mae Haad
Resort next door to the Royal Orchid, which had AC, TV and did not
have problems with bugs and had great service. However, his friends
place was far down the road and of course his friend did not help
us take our bags back down the road. The bags were heavy so I took
the light bags while my girlfriend waited with the heavy ones down
the road. I ask for help from the Royal Orchid employee to help me
bring the bags back and he didn t respond to me and kept talking to
his friends. So I went to help my girlfriend with the bags because
he wasn t going to help us. After we got our bags back down the road
into the new resort bugalows I went to talk to him again. I asked
him if he had called Sawadee yet, and he said no. So I asked for a
refund of the money and to cancel our stay he had for us for the 11th-12th.
I understand that the deposit is non-refundable but because he had
gave our reservation away I just wanted to get our money back. He
then became irrate with me and told me to call Sawadee, I said I didnt
have a phone or internet access so of course I couldn t. I then just
smiled, said thank, please cancel my reservation and walked away.
He then yelled at me as I walked away saying that he only had reservation
for the 11th-12th. I didn t say anything more. In short, they didn
t honor our reservation and thier service was absent. |

Rather disappointed with this hotel. Room was too cramped, bed uncomfortable,
bathroom crawling with geckos and even spotted a small centipede once.
Dresser mirror had obviously not been cleaned. Worst of all was the
stench of sewage that seemed to emanate from somewhere near our hut.
We were forced to sleep with our door open to help the air circulate.
At least Maehaad beach is safe enough for that. Door to our hut didn
t even lock properly. Only plus points go to the extra friendly staff! |
