Hotels near Haad Rin in Koh Phangan

Overall the hotel was nice but in several point not what we expected: We booked a „villa with sea view“. There was no sea view at the villa that was assigned to us. You couldn’t see the sea neither from within the villa nor from the pool nor from the sun beds nor from the outside bath tub. The only way to see a glimpse of the sea was to stand up on a certain spot on the terrace. That’s not what we expected from a room advertised as „with sea view“ and the (trip.com) booking page also suggested otherwise. When we complained, we got assigned another villa where we could see the sea partly. Thank you for that. However, the manager told us that the photos from the booking page were in fact another villa. But it's not my responsibility to make sure that the photos and pictures provided on booking pages are correct. The hotel has to take care of that! This holds also true for the next issue: The gym was closed due to renovation. In the booking process, they advertised a huge fitness center with lots of machines. Now it’s shut down and we did not get any information about this. The „mini gym“, which does not even have at least one multi exercise machine, is nothing but a bad joke and no replacement at all for a proper gym! Again the staff told us they would inform about this on their website. When I checked that, I still found the photos of the large gym on their own website. It was just called ”mini gym”. But how am I supposed to know what they mean by that and that the provided photos are no longer correct??

Stayed here for 3 days, think it's family run lodge. The hotel room key was really a key, a big one. The door creaked when opening but overall the room was nice, amenities was good. When requested for a kettle, the kind old lady provided me very fast....very nice. Pity did not make use of the swimming pool as it was hot for 2 of the days there. A short walk to a food court nearby, Thongsala Square (where the race start)...and the Walking Street where they had a nice night bazaar on Saturday, pity it rained halfway. Also a short walk to Phantip Market area. But definitely need taxi to the site of Full Moon Party lol Yes, also had a lot of tour agencies just outside the hotel. And laundry services, I did mine at a cheap 80 baht...and it came back ironed and with a nice fragance ...Highly recommended. (ok, they do have some self service laundry too at 30 bht per kg??? but definitely not ironed??)

It was very beautiful and I was satisfied. I would like to come back and stay again when I can relax. We especially recommend relaxing by the pool. It's also connected to the ocean, so I think it's a good idea to play on the beach during the season.

We looooved that hotel. The architecture is really nice and modern. Not always practical, but that didn't really bother us. We loved the infinity pool which has a perfect lenght for swimming too. The location was perfect for us: Being in a super nice hotel surrounded by the jungle but in just a few minutes scooter ride (10-15 minutes) at hot spots, like Secret Beach, Zen Beach, Thongsala etc. The team was really nice and friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Restaurant was good and reasonably priced.

Lovely little resort with a private beach, great for a couple's vacation. We stayed in a pool view room - considered beach view but considering you're right on the water, no need! Staff was so friendly and lovely, from the front desk to the restaurant staff. The part of the island that Buri Rasa is on is rather remote -- not like the southern and western parts, where there's more of a little town with more food options -- so I would recommend this area largely for beach lounging and relaxing, rather than a more active vacation. (It's not hard to get to other parts of the island via taxi [or scooter, but we didn't try that] but time-consuming and not super cheap.)

Living in the opposite Koh Samui every time I come to Pakan Island, I will stay in the hotel almost 10 times. The hotel on this island is basically this style. Small but this hotel environment is really beautiful. There is a bar in the yard. The sea view is so beautiful. It is also a restaurant. The best and cheapest waiter in the same hotel is very kind. Every time we come, we live in this two-bedroom and one-living house. It is very convenient to bring children. You can also cook by yourself. Look at the photos.

This hotel is located out of town on the far end of Mae Nam beach, close to the ferry terminal, it is well presented with a lovely pool over looking a small piece of private beach. The staff are pleasant and helpful and the accommodation is nice with rooms and bungalows available, our bungalow had a fridge, safe, good bed, hot shower and complimentary tea, coffee and water. Breakfast was included and was very good, overall the hotel was good value for money.

This was the best hotel I stayed in Koh Phangan. Bryan in reception is AMAZING. This man deserves a raise. He really went above and beyond to help me get back a pair of shoes I left in a taxi. All of the staff was wonderful, especially the hard-working guys in the restaurant. Koko greeted me each morning at breakfast with my coconut coffee. I had the best massage and facial at the spa with Lin. I’ve been dreaming about it ever since I left! I stayed in the beachfront villa which was perfect. I loved being able to walk straight out the door (climbing over the rocks) and into the sea. Watching the sunset each night was beautiful. It’s an easy walk to shops and restaurants nearby if you don’t rent a scooter. This section of beach is very peaceful. I’m looking forward to staying here again!

Hired a truck/taxi from the pier to take us to the hotel but he drove like a complete psycho and then dropped us off at the resort before. Not a huge deal but we didn't notice until he'd gone and had to walk around, dragging our huge luggage around trying to find the correct resort. Would recommend organizing the hotel shuttle if possible. Front desk staff were always friendly to us, as well as the golf cart driver who drove us and our luggage to our unit and showed us around the room and how to use everything. Room was nice, clean and quiet except when the maintenance crew sat on our front deck area chatting at 7:45am one morning :) Pool was big, cool and clean. Only recommendation is more attention being paid to random people from nearby resorts and hostels taking up the lounge chairs around it when they aren't even staying there. Restaurant staff were attentive and friendly and the food was good. The way some of the guests treated the staff was shocking. They couldn't have been more demanding and rude which the poor staff didn't deserve. Best viewpoint restaurant/bar we only found the day before we left unfortunately but it had the most AMAZING views. Was the 420 Bar/360 Viewpoint that is accessed at the end of the road, near the main road. It's a bit far out of any busy area so you're limited to the on-site restaurant or the few that are a short walk away. We liked the Big O the best out of all of them. There is also a family run mart that seemed to have the best prices for things and we used the most. It was the one with the counter top made up of tons of different currencies. He was missing CAD so we gave him a $5 bill and a $1 Loonie. Hopefully he got them added to his collection.

Amazing place with great view. The staff is just the best I’ve ever seen, we became great friends. The room was very nice and clean, Wi-Fi router was present inside the room, the speed was great too. Utopia on Phangan is strait up legendary, you will not be disappointed. Make sure you ask every question to the staff, they will help you with any problem, I’ve never seen such dedication. One of the best places to get familiar with the island, as it’s quite and has everything you need.
