Koh Phangan Beach Hotels

We had a wonderful stay at Kupu Kupu Phangan and can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and very well-maintained—ideal for relaxation and well-being. A very special thank you goes to the fantastic team, especially Bank, AD, Micky, San, Aek, Lin, Ziny, Nonoe, and Foam. Everyone was always warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. We were particularly touched by the loving and patient way our son was treated. As a family, we felt welcome from the very first moment. We would love to return and wholeheartedly recommend Kupu Kupu Phangan.

We stayed at Milky Bay Resort and were, on the whole, very satisfied. What we particularly liked was the accommodation in separate bungalows, which really created a sense of privacy and tranquility. Our room was spacious, with its own terrace – a lovely spot to spend time in the morning or evening. A big plus for us was the free on-site parking, as we had rented a car and actively explored the island. The resort has a cozy restaurant with calm, unobtrusive music playing, which creates a very relaxing atmosphere. There are sun loungers near the beach – it was really pleasant to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while admiring the bay view. The only, and quite significant, downside was the strong low tides. During our stay, the water receded very far, making swimming at the hotel beach practically impossible. However, we took this as an opportunity to get to know the island better, discovering new beaches and beautiful spots around Koh Phangan every day. Overall, it's a very cozy and atmospheric hotel for a peaceful getaway, especially if you plan to rent transport and explore the island independently. 🌴☀️

A wonderful beach hotel! The grounds aren't huge, but they're very green and well-maintained. The bungalows are super cozy and charming. From any bungalow, it's no more than a 1-minute walk to the beach. There's a restaurant on-site serving both European and Thai cuisine. For breakfast, I even found oatmeal with mango! The beach is beautiful and long enough for a nice stroll. The sand is incredibly soft and fine. It does get a bit shallow at low tide. There's a Seven-Eleven about a 7-minute walk from the hotel along the main road.

This wasn't our first visit to Koh Phangan, but it was our first time at this hotel. The staff was polite and helpful. After checking in, we were shown to a room on the third floor, on the edge, next to the road and the pumping station at the back of the hotel. We asked to be moved right away, without even entering the room. Without question, we were offered two other rooms to choose from. One was on the ground floor with access to the pool, but next to the road. The other was on the second floor, away from the road and further from the pumping station. We chose the second. By the way, the hotel has several price ranges, and ours was the cheapest! We booked a room with breakfast included, and we didn't regret it. Egg dishes, fresh herbs, fruit, buns, sausages, chicken, and more... overall, it was filling. The hotel is located next to a snorkeling spot, with lots of fish, shells, and sea urchins. We knew about this spot, so we went to this beach for our first four days. We made the right choice. The only downside is the air conditioner located directly above the bed. Turn it off and it's stuffy, but turn it on and it's immediately cold 🙄 Overall, it's a pretty decent hotel. The photo shows the view from the room. There was a sense of intimacy, as the building is U-shaped, with windows overlooking the courtyard and pool. It's very quiet.

Friendly service and they book cars for you. No complaints other than having a loud neighbor half the stay

A beautiful, large hotel right on the seafront. It's located on a small hill, so there are quite a few steps. The breakfast restaurant is right by the sea, which I absolutely loved! Above the restaurant are bungalow-style cottages, then further up, a two or three-story building, and even higher, up a path and more steps, a large five-story building – that's where we stayed, on the top floor with a fantastic view! It was great that a staff member from reception carried our suitcase up 🤪, that's a definite plus for the hotel! Tip: Book a sea-view room, not one facing the bushes. Many people at reception were trying to change their rooms. Also, if you have trouble walking uphill or climbing lots of steps, this might be challenging for you. Overall: The hotel is in a great location. Our upgraded sea-view room was very spacious with a giant balcony offering a superb view. Breakfast was a bit sparse, but being able to sit right by the sea made up for it. However, I got the feeling the hotel isn't well-maintained – the bed linen was wrinkled, greyish, and looked cheap, which was quite unpleasant. There was a TV in the room, but it wasn't connected; a loose cable was lying behind the wardrobe (we didn't need the TV, so we weren't bothered). There was no kettle, but we asked for one and they brought it. The room was large, but for some reason, there was only one bedside table and no wardrobe for clothes, and the safe didn't work. But we tried to ignore these things and just enjoy the amazing view from the balcony and the overall beauty of the surroundings! Our room was 5101. P.S. I hope the management reads this and starts taking better care of their wonderful hotel!

The resort is outdated. The room was clean and spacious, but it wasn’t designed in a way that makes constructive use of the space. There’s very little room to put your luggage, and the lighting was poor. The air conditioning blows directly onto the head of the bed. The beachfront is beautiful, but the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the resort’s policies and staff, I have the following comments: they have fines for almost everything. They provide beach towels at the reception, but you’re only allowed to use them on their beach and must return them “immediately” after you’re done. If you don’t comply—fine! The safe wasn’t working. The room was full of mosquitoes when we arrived. And they would “forget” to give us the two basic bottles of water, even though they had stated we would receive them. Water is very cheap—it’s not about the price, but about the services that are supposed to be provided.

We were happy with our stay and enjoyed the resort and their food. Most reviews indicate that the hotel needs some renovation which is true, though it still has its charm and remains a great resort. Food is pricey but in our opinion was very good every day. The Thai cuisine is great for lunch/dinner throughout the day. Breakfast was decent and the “eggs on demand” are of good added value. Staff was friendly.

Best consider this accomodation when going for the Full Moon Party! Service at reception incompetent.

The accommodation is quiet and peaceful. It is near the sea. The atmosphere is good. The room is spacious. There is a Smart TV to watch movies and listen to music comfortably. The price is good.
