Beautiful Beach!!
Resort was overall very nice. Incredible beach and beautiful grounds. Breakfast was very good with lots of different choices. We stayed in a deluxe room which said it had a partial sea view which it absolutely not true. There is only one room with a sea view and that is 101. The air conditioner is located on the front deck which makes it impossible to enjoy the deck because of the heat and noise coming from the air conditioner. When I inquired about the view at the front desk They blamed it on the site that I booked on. 🤔 Overall this is a beautiful resort. I would definitely stay here again but definitely not in a deluxe room. See attached photos of view and beach. 🇨🇦For

We're grateful for your feedback as we value the one from our guests highly. We're happy for your comments - ' Beautiful Beach' and 'Resort was overall very nice...

Great position & facilities
We had a great 3 nights stay & were lucky to have the tides just right for swimming most of the day. We stayed in a superior double with a partial sea view, which was in fact a full sea view. Room 101, however these rooms do need a bit of renovation & repositioning of the airconditioner motors as they are on the veranda & noisy. The grounds are really well maintained as is the swimming pool area, but there are areas that need some maintenance. Breakfast buffet was O.K., but not very interesting. Same Same everyday. Plenty to eat, but a bit mundane. The restaurant menu is pretty extensive with both western & Thai kitchens. The curries were really good & an average price. We had cocktails @ Happy Hour for 180baht (normal price 200baht) not a brilliant deal & they weren't 'loaded' with alcohol either!! They need to get this right. Staff are really friendly & there are various areas to eat & drink which is great for varying weather conditions. Looking at all the options on Koh Ngai we believe we made the right choice for position & value for money & would choose Fantasy again if we were to go back to Ngai

Amazing.
A basic resort that is dated but charming. The views are amazing. The food is great if not a bit pricy. The sea is stunning when not wavey. The staff could clean the beach directly in front of the hotel to clear debris and bits of rubbish.

Resort is managed very well. All the staff working to have nice clean area outdoor and indoor too. Waiter can speak english OK (not usual in Thailand´s islands). Helpful receptionist. Beautiful beach, cleaned every day. We can compare with another hotel in Ko Lanta and Ko Mook in similar price - this is absolutely the best, one level upper.

Best beach!
Enjoyed our short stay at Koh Hai fantasy resort. The resort in general could use some updates, but it was still good. Not much going on on the island other than the resorts, so glad we only spent two nights. One of the best beaches we went to! Water was super clear. Restaurant was good and had lots of choices, which was nice since we ate there most of the time. Would return for the beach!

Dear Khun Tore, Thank you for taking the time posting the review on Expedia.

Blissful
When we first arrived we were so excited as the boat pulled in...and although the rooms were a little dated , we were steps from the gorgeous beach. We had a problem with our air con leaking everywhere but we were moved and they offered us dry cleaning services for any wet clothes. They were super kind and although I think this resort has aged we would def come back without a doubt ....also the snorkelling was amazing x Also there were quite a few children but it didn't bother us....one point if your a business guy that needs Internet this isn't the place for you .

Great island, good hotel
Pros: - Staff is very friendly and well trained- hard to find in Thailand - been upgraded to a room with great view for free - probably most "high end" hotel on the island - great beach with no coral outside of the hotel, but walk 50m either way and you find coral for snorkling Cons: - Tour/transfer booking staff have no clue what they book- booked speed Ferry straight to Phuket but got turtle ferry+ crazy 3 hour in speedboat. - Food/drinks are a bit overpriced, but hotel on the left offers great cocktails at 110B and Camping offers larger portions at same price but their cocktails are bad. breakfast was ok/good but repetitive.

Best vacation ever!
For the money, this hotel is top notch. Best beach in Thailand. The restaurant is very good, and well priced. Very well run resort. Seafood buffet is worth dining. My only suggestion is to drop the price of a glass of wine. Two ounces for 200 B. Or, better yet, bring your own to the island. Overall, a "ten".

Koh Ngai is most expensive and least beautiful
Koh Ngai is most expensive and less beautiful than nearby Koh Mook or Koh Kradan. There isn't even a store, so the hotel will just gouge you on the price of everything. Go eat next door, there's a reasonably priced and delicious local restaurant if you leave this hotel and turn left on the beach. I am SO GLAD we didn't book a one week holiday here - Koh Mook is so much better, with a local village, restaurants, and a really fun open air pub. This island was just all families.

Expedia blew it, The resort made it worse.
The biggest issue was the management, though they are not completely at fault, as Expedia really dropped the ball on this one. I will be reluctant to book with Expedia again. A few days before traveling I had to modify my reservation, instead Expedia suggested I cancel the original itinerary and make a new booking. So we did. Once they confirmed my new reservation and cancellation of the old one, It seemed everything was in order. When we checked in to our resort, there was some confusion, but it got done. Later, the next day, an employee of the resort approaches me telling me that I have two bookings and I need to pay for the other one. I am then confronted by management, insisting that I pay for ,what I was told by Expedia, my cancelled booking. I told them that this was between them and Expedia, but they insisted that they had no contact with Expedia, that Expedia deals with their main office in Bangkok. They put me on the phone with the main office. For 30 minutes I was argued with, without any reason or remorse, that I HAD to pay. Finally, refusing to pay, I hung up and spent the next few hours on the phone trying to reach Expedia, on hold for an hour until finally I gave up. I don't know at the end of the day who was really at fault here, but I imagine it was some sort of miscommunication. Expedia confirmed to me that they had contacted the resort and that my original booking was cancelled, the resort said they never received any information from Expedia.

Clean, comfortable and great location
Overall this is a really good option for Ko Ngai. The resort is on the nicest, cleanest stretch of beach. The grounds are very clean and the resort has good service and reasonable restaurant & mini mart prices considering the limited options available. The beachfront room was basic but comfortable - and had the most beautiful view. We were very happy with our choice.

Excellent Value for Money - Hotel on Beach
We enjoyed our stay at the Kohhai Fantasy Resort. It is a resort hotel on Koh Hai ( Koh Ngai) right on the beach. It is well run and Koh Ngai is a paradise island with resorts on one beach with a coral reef out front. The resort is fairly large and can seem a bit of factory, however it is well run. Our room was very good value, although it did not have a sea view it was one minute from the beach and had everything we needed. Service was friendly and efficient.Food was fine much better than some reviewers mentioned. Coral reef was fantastic for snorkelling!!

This mid level hotel is situated on a beautiful stretch of sand with perfect blue waters. Rooms were clean and pleasant - with ceiling fans and noisy air-con. Lovely pool which was a good size. Food was average but service terrible. Great spa and reasonably priced. A very family orientated hotel with lots of families and children. Not a great deal to do at night.

Hotellområdena är fina och fräscha. Läget är toppen. Det går att bada hela dagen trots lågvatten. Vi bodde i ett standardrum med ac. Storleksmässigt var rummet bra men standarden var väldigt sliten. Frukosten var god men den fylldes inte på trots att det var en timme kvar. Poolen var fin. Solstolar finns både vid stranden och vid poolen. Rekommenderar för att läget är toppen och att det är en bra pool.
