Koh Phangan District Hotels with Pools

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. 🌴☀️

I really liked the hotel. We rented a family apartment, unit 1. It had a living room with a bunk bed and a small kitchenette, plus one bedroom with a large bed. The staff were friendly, helped with our luggage, and let us check in earlier than scheduled. The rooms were clean, and water was replenished daily. There was air conditioning, and both hot and cold water. There was a TV, but the Wi-Fi was weak and sometimes cut out. The kitchen had a kettle, toaster, and stove. The hotel is situated a bit further inland on the island, nestled in a small wooded area. Insects were sometimes a bother. And sometimes at night and in the mornings, there would be noise – maybe birds, or squirrels, or some other unknown creature. A cat here, after receiving affection from our family, decided it would start visiting us for food. And I must say, it was persistent; it could sit by our door for days. One morning, I saw a scene: the cat was sitting next to the lower half of a squirrel, right by our door. Not such an innocent kitty after all! We couldn't hear any traffic. We rode scooters to the beach; walking wasn't an option. Within walking distance, there's a 7-Eleven, scooter rentals, local eateries, and laundromats. The pool was clean and pleasant, about 1.5 meters deep. The only thing we didn't like was the layout of the paths specifically leading to our bungalow. In my opinion, they were illogically designed; there were steps in some places where you could easily trip and fall, potentially needing help to get up if you were unlucky. My wife only ended up with scrapes on her knees. It would be more logical to have a direct path, but here you have to go around, doubling or even tripling the distance to and from the bungalow. But I guess some people might not mind it. Overall, I'd say we were happy with the place and enjoyed our stay. Thank you, I wish you good sales and satisfied guests!

Our stay at The Tarna Resort was very pleasant overall. Unfortunately, it didn't start optimally. Unlike many other hotels, we weren't offered help with our luggage upon arrival. We had to carry our heavy bags to the lobby ourselves. Even our taxi driver surprisingly asked, ”No bell boy here?” After check-in, we also had to wait about two to three hours for our luggage to be brought to the room. When I inquired at the front desk after a long time, I was told: ”We don't have any personnel now, I'm sorry.” This initial impression unfortunately conveyed a sense of understaffing. However, the room itself was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The view, in particular, was fantastic. We really liked the resort's location in the midst of nature, surrounded by lush greenery and an almost jungle-like environment. The breakfast was also varied and delicious. While Thai rice soup wasn't offered, that was more of an extra luxury wish than an expectation. The hotel itself is truly beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only significant point of criticism was the noticeable staff shortage, which was particularly evident upon arrival and with the luggage service. With a bit more staff and better service in this area, the experience would have been almost perfect.

Vannee Golden Sands Beachfront Resort Koh Phangan is a beautiful resort with excellent service and great facilities. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The breakfast is delicious, with a good variety of tasty options. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Koh Phangan.

We booked the deluxe villa with a bathroom because I was particularly drawn to the design of having a small pool in the courtyard. I used it daily, and the privacy felt palpable once I locked the front door. The rooms were well-separated, featuring a cozy living room with a ceiling fan, tables, chairs, and a TV. The bedroom and bathroom were decent-sized and equipped with all the essentials. The daily coffee and bottled water were a pleasant surprise. However, the reception staff were friendly, but the restaurant, bar, and breakfast staff were cold and unfriendly. We only needed to request a room cleaning once, and it was done quickly, but it didn’t feel thorough. Three ladies arrived with cleaning supplies, but they left within 3-5 minutes, changing the towels and water, but not doing much else. We believe you should request a room cleaning, at least that’s what we felt. The breakfast was basic and didn’t get replenished quickly. One morning, we had breakfast and discovered that the milk was spoiled. It had mixed with our coffee and cereal, so we had to leave it. The staff were always cold and unfriendly during breakfast and later at the bar and restaurant. On the positive side, the view from the pool was excellent, and it was peaceful and relaxing to be there. However, I noticed some weeds and smoke around the area, which made me feel a bit sick after inhaling it for a while, even though I’m a non-smoker. Also, there is a nice 711 across the road from the hotel, and it’s in walking distance to get to the haad rin beach

Good service throughout our stay with staff being helpful and friendly. Has a nice pool area and loungers on beach front. In a good central location in Sairee area. The room we had was large and generally clean although does seem to have an issue with drain flies, despite trying to get rid of them each day there would be numerous more by the next day. Also be prepared for mosquitoes! Aside from this still recommend.

We had an unforgettable week at this beautiful hotel. The grounds are gorgeous, like a jungle, with a pool and the sea nearby (just as good as Ao Leuk beach). The breakfasts are wonderful, with something for everyone. The staff are friendly; I'd especially like to mention Kiat. There's also a dive school on-site, which is very convenient. The road to the hotel is one of the most scenic on the island – it's a real pleasure coming back here.

Surprised to the superb location which ice-cream shop is under our room and restaraunt , massage , cafe and street food surrounded by. Beach is in front of the room. Anyway, a little noisy around the room due to room close to walking street but we’re fine. Rain shower didn’t flow strongly. Otherwise, it’s fine

We had a pleasant stay at Beach Club by Haadtien, but with mixed feelings. The location is beautiful: a lovely bay in a peaceful setting. The room itself was fine and we appreciated the daily fresh towels (both for the bathroom and the beach/pool) as well as the complimentary bottled water. The food in the restaurant is also good, although we found it relatively expensive by Thai standards. At the same time there are several aspects that, especially given the price of the hotel, should be better. The sound insulation is very poor: you can literally understand what your neighbours are saying, and music as well as footsteps from the rooms above or adjacent are clearly audible. This makes getting a good night’s sleep more a matter of luck than comfort. In addition, the sliding door to the balcony did not close properly, which affects both comfort and the efficiency of the air conditioning which I thought was a pity, especially on an island where energy use should be taken seriously. Housekeeping and general maintenance could also be improved. In this price range, you would not expect to find squashed mosquitoes on the walls. The property and the room show signs of wear and tear in several places, such as broken tiles and damage to the floor. There was also quite a bit of plastic on the beach, although we realise this may not be entirely within the hotel’s control. The shuttle service to the village is a nice addition, but having to reserve it a day in advance makes it less flexible than you would hope. Overall conclusion: A beautifully located hotel with a good foundation, but it falls short in several important areas given the price. For us, this would be a reason to consider other options next time. Overall, we did not feel it was worth the money.

Very decent hotel and close to the city center - but two downsides for me: quite a few small ants (even before bringing any food into the room) and a lack of privacy. My room was close to the pool, and people could easily see into it. I spent my whole stay with the curtains drawn for more privacy, which meant no natural light.
