Worst bed we’ve ever laid on
Very close to the port. Don’t waste your money on a shared taxi. We got stuck paying $400 Baht and we were the last stop only to find out the hotel is 1km from the ferry port. Not a bad looking hotel however the rooms need UPDATING. Our mattress was a plastic/rubber spring bed with just a sheet over it. Worst sleeping experience and unacceptable for a hotel of this level. Maybe expect that in a $5 hostel. The shower/ bathroom is all in one. While showering, the whole bathroom gets soaked. Not exactly comfortable or sanitary. Location overall was good and the beach was beautiful to take a walk north. I would not stay there again for the price.

Island bungalows
The rooms are a bit rustic but a cool feel for island life. Close enough to main pier for easy pick up and drop off but not a lot else in the immediate area

Dead place..........
A big disappointment. Looked good from outside but not worth a penny. Old property, stinking rooms and cupboard. In this modern age, they had given us physical locks to lock our rooms and there were stickers in the room reading that the hotel won't be responsible if anything is stolen or lost. I mean which hotel room door has a aluminium latch to hold a lock these days? lol AC took around 5-6 hours to prove that it works and made noise throughout. Lockers were just kept in the cupboards and not bolted so no point keeping anything in there as anyone can just carry the entire locker with themselves. Geyser did not work. When we increased water flow in the shower, water landed on the pot and not on us. Very limited items in the breakfast. WiFi did not work for 1 entire day. If you want to step out to eat something, you gotta walk for a minimum of 15-20 min. You must take a bike if you are staying here. We couldn't as we reached late at night :( If you are in Koh Phangan for Fool Moon party then this is not the place, its 12 kms away. The resort driver who drove us around was a nice helpful guy and always carried a smile on his face.

Lovely peaceful stay
A lovely quiet little hotel complex, with a very oriental feel to it. Staff are very friendly and helpful, making up our room early before check in time. The view from the pool and beach is amazing. The rooms where very clean and tidy and wifi was good also. Would definitely recommend.

Attractive place - room extremely drab and under furnished, shabby really. Very disappointed. Beach / swimming - very small, very rocky and shallow, but no surprises there because we'd done our homework. Not recommended

Was really nice, clean room, chilled out
I thought it was a good hotel, it was pretty empty when I first got there so it was quiet but as it for closer to the full moon it was pretty busy! I found the hotel staff really nice, some didn't speak much English but it was completely fine!

Not a pleasant stay
Clean rooms and good location. Only bad comment was that the office was not open at 6am when we advised them we had an early morning departure and they forgot to give us our packed breakfast and attend the office. Very disappointed. Also massage facility was renovating at the time and we were not advised.

Ok but pricey
Stayed here for the night of and after the full moon party. It is close to the pier (20 baht ride) and far enough from the party. Nice place to relax with 2 pools but all goods and services are much pricier than other places. Room had a broken shower that leaked water everywhere since they didn't seal the shower at the base. Overall Ok but I expected more from a resort for the price. Protip: shuttle service to and from pier is free from resort.

Great Hotel, fantastic facilities. Would recommend
Booked 2 nights over the full moon party, ended up missing our ferry and managed to get another night in this hotel. Good buffet breakfast. Great service. Free use of the sea kayak, deserted island about 15 mins away - beautiful! The room was huge and clean. Fresh towels and water daily. Bit far away from the busy local area than would have been ideal, but it was only a 10 minute walk. Overall really good hotel. Would definetly recommend to a friend.

Nothing special
Stated there for two nights mainly as a base to go to the full moon party. Hotel is okay albeit overpriced (although I guess prices go up massively as the island gets overcrowded for the party). The structure of the hotel is quite nice with a pool close to the beach and a number of bungalows high up. However it is pretty old and it has not been modernised. The beach is not great - it is pretty unkept and the water is quite muddy and it did not go deeper than waist level when we were there. So if you there as a base for the party it is all right - although the bungalows on the same stretch pf beach are much cheaper - if you there for a seaside holiday - avoid.

Sin mucho lujo, pero en un entorno espectacular
Hotel algo viejo. Habitación muy espaciosa pero sin caja fuerte. La ducha mala y sin espacio destinado para ella. La zona del hotel esta un poco alejada (15 minutos del pueblo andando por carretera), pero la playa es casi privada y los alrededores espectaculares.

Vi tyckte väldigt bra om grand sea beach Resort! Vi ville ha några lugna dagar vid stranden och då är det perfekt. De har en privat liten strand där det är väldigt långgrunt, men vi badade mest i poolen. Väldigt bra service av personalen!

einfaches Hotel in ruhiger Lage direkt am Strand
Zwischen Hotelanlage und Meer kleine Ufermauer mit drei Treppenstufen direkt ins Wasser(bei Flut), bei Ebbe sehr flacher Sandstrand, schwimmen kaum möglich. Nette Garten-Anlage mit Bungalows um den Pool, Wiese mit Liegen und Sonnenschirmen. Frühstück im Freien bzw. unter Vordach mit Blick zum Meer. Landseitig dahinter liegen die Gebäude mit den Zimmern. Zimmerzugang über Laubengänge. Die Standard-Zimmer sind sehr sparsam eingerichtet: Bett, ein Schrank ohne Türen, eine Kommode mit Spiegel und vier kleinen Schubladen, davor ein Hocker, außerdem ein kleiner Kühlschrank und ein Fernseher. Das Hotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und es besteht in allen bereichen Bedarf nach Renovierung. Das (meist) englisch-sprechende Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemüht alles recht zu machen.

Fint hotell
Fint hotell nära 'stranden' (inte mycket till strand men gick att bada etc). Fina bungalows och bra personal som hjälpte till jättemycket! Bokade resor, mopeder etc med hjälp av dem. Var där över jul och nyår och då pyntade de fint och bjöd på show och middag. Inte långt från 'stan' heller så man kunde lätt gå in och shoppa samt äta.

Hotel avec un bon rapport qualité prix
Hotel très sympa, au bord de mer avec une plage calme et une vue impressionnante, vous serrez toutefois un peu à l'étroit dans les bungalow mais c'est vraiment un hôtel atypique et le prix est très abordable. Pour rester 3/4 jours c'est parfait mais pas plus.
