Thapwarin Resort - Green Hotel

The staff here are what carries the hotel, you almost manage to forgive everything because the staff are so helpful and warm. We booked a room (T01) for 3 nights but were so disappointed with it we asked to pay extra for a beach front room. The only availability was for one night so we paid the extra and moved to B08 and the following day back to T01. In this room we found a cockroach in the bathroom, which could be forgiven taking into account the location & climate, but the hairdryer had to be plugged into an area with no mirror, it was located in a hallway and the plug had to be held in to make it work - not really a ‘boutique experience’. The balcony was on its last legs - rusting metal made collapse a distinct possibility!! However, as I said we were made to feel looked after by the amazing staff but really this hotel needs closing during low season and seriously renovating Breakfast was average, fresh fruit was limited - choice of watermelon, pineapple & dragon fruit over 3 mornings, the yogurt was sweetened and the ‘juice’ was squash. Eggs were done 3 ways - sunny side up, scrambled and omelette. And other dishes were luke warm - eggs, bacon, ham and leftover Thai food from the night before. Dinner was a roller coaster - the fried white snapper with green mango salad was amazing, the Jack fish was grey and ‘fishy’ served with the same beautiful salad and we asked for french fries which turned out to be deep frozen crinkle cut fries bought to our table before the main course was ready and then ‘kept warm’ which, of course, meant they were cold Please, Thapwarin, pay attention to detail for the food and accommodation to support the brilliant work done by your staff

Beautiful setting on an idyllic island. The bungalows are made from traditional materials which fit perfectly into the jungle setting. If you need rest and relaxation this is a good choice. The staff are friendly and helpful, the breakfast is not bad. More choice of fresh fruit would be nice. The bungalows are a good size and nicely appointed, cleaned everyday and well maintained. Our only complaint would be beds are hard and pillows could be improved upon but for the rest a great stay. Bring good beach walking shoes as you need to walk along beach at low tide or through some forest paths to get from one place to another here. A good book would be great as not much to do except swim, dive or snorkel. Binoculars would be an asset as so many exquisite birds on the island. A pool on the property would be great.

Really love here! Nice staff, good service and room, not so many people here, you can choose one seat to see the beautiful sea view in front of the resort, Thapwarin Resort is the best resort in Koh Ngai!

My trip to Thapwarin resort was incredible we had such a good time and always felt welcome. The staff are happy to help with anything. The food is amazing. The island and beach looks like a dream, it’s lush! They are a genuine environmentally conscious resort which is great to see as they endeavour to protect the island. Special thanks to Toy and Jay, I enjoyed learning some Thai language with them

Very good Hotel, very friendly and helpful stuff. Very nice location to chill and calm. The rooms are comfortable, clean and the restaurant offers a lot of delicious food, Thai and Western as well. The breakfast buffet in the morning has a lot of choices as well. Every time again this hotel….

We were happy to visited them for a late lunch. Lovely service & food! We live beside them, but they have the best beacharea to go in with out all the stones. The snorkeling is the same :-) The accomadation looked good too!
