Ko Pha-ngan Phaeng Waterfall Hotels

"I've stayed at hundreds of places over the years and Phangan Beach Resort is in my top five. Bungalows on the beach in Thailand, no crowd (off season, and luckily no rain), beach bar with great food and prices, very nice staff and owners (Mark and Toby), just a beautiful setting and vibe. Quiet and peaceful. We will be back. Thanks to all the staff there."

"Bathroom smelled like perfumed sewage. Shower water temp never got hotter than lukewarm. You get charged for ice, and there's a laundry list detailing how much you will be charged for staining any item, including the disposable slippers... Rooms are tiny with no storage to speak of. Bathroom layout is insane: shower is huge, vanity and toilet are airliner sized."

"Staff couldn’t do enough for you - the rooms are large. The air con could do with a bit of an update as not as cool as it could be but not uncomfortable. Fresh towels every day, staff couldn’t do enough for you, big shout out to San Oo and Hugo who looked after me and my husband so well. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. It’s a great hotel with everything you need and the restaurant food is also so tasty. "

"Really enjoyable stay. So nice to stay right on the beach. Pool was lovely and very deep. Staff very friendly and work very hard to keep resort looking lovely. Location excellent - lots of restaurants, stores, markets in area to easily walk to. The gym is large and well equipped. It is open air, so shade and ceiling fans but no a/c, so I found it very warm to work out. Likewise, the a/c in our room was very poor, more like a fan. So we were always warm in the room. Other than the weekly Friday night beach party (which we could hear most of the night but weren't really bothered by it) the resort is quite quiet and peaceful. Overall, a great place!"

"Lovely hotel and pool. Luxurious towels and pool towels. Spotlessly clean. In a great area with plenty of food choices including a big food court. Laundry next door. Motorcycle hire close by"

"I’d recommend this place!! It’s not that far of a scooter ride to any beach on the island from here. It was very quiet and secluded at the hotel. But walk 3 minutes and you’re on a street with lots of restaurants and stuff. They have it all..restaurant at the hotel, drinks, nice view off balcony. You can book taxi service and scooter rental at front desk, they’ll arrange person to come. "

"Great vibes, excellent staff, thank you!"

"Had the most wonderful time at Coco villas. The host was excellent at communication and we could not have wished for a better accommodation. Highly recommend."
