HL, North Carolina

Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed at the Bay for 3 nights before the full moon party. First impressions were good: the rooms are colorful, the location is good, the food was great, and the staff were welcoming. However, shortly after settling into our room I was moving pillows around on our bed and noticed a line of dead bugs underneath one. The staff kindly reassured us that they were from a recent pesticide treatment and moved us into a new room. If this was our only hiccup, we would have happily moved on and left the resort a 4 star review. However, the next night when we got back from dinner around 10:30 the whole resort was without power and I spent 15 minutes looking around the main lounge for a circuit breaker since there was no staff nor contact info for management to be found. The next night was the full moon party and the staff offered to schedule us a taxi for 9:30pm. However there seemed to have been poor communication between staff; at 9:45 we asked them where our taxi was and they said there was no record of us requesting/accepting the offer for a ride from earlier that same day. Finally, as we were checking out they tried to charge us for a couple cans of soda that had broken/exploded in the minibar (ones we didn't drink or even touch during our stay). All in all I would consider this resort if you value privacy and want a good location and quiet ambiance. However as far as service is concerned, you can get proper treatment elsewhere on Ko Pha Ngan for the same price.

Top notch service
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bay, the location is good with beautiful views, good value, good cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff. We want to give a particular thanks to Andy, who not only gave us great advice for our Thailand itinerary but also drove us to the pier and took the time out of his day to send a parcel by ferry when we forgot something back at the resort. He made our day! Would warmly recommend staying at the Bay to anyone passing through Koh Phangan.

Secluded and chilled
A really chilled place with its own beach and beachside bar playing soothing tunes. Decent food and good happy hour offers. There is also a pool and loungers. Ideally situated to watch the sunrise and the sunset. Lovely views. The place itself needs a bit of TLC and the room was basic but good for the price. Not really walking distance (at night) to the livelier parts but a walk along the beach brings you to lots of good bars and things so it's not isolated. Andy the owner picked us up and gave us some good tips. He and the other staff were really friendly. Just wish the bar was open later - at least to midnight if there are people in the bar. Well worth a visit and to stay.

Beautiful hotel! Exceeded Expectations!
This hotel was WONDERFUL and highly exceeded our expectations! We had a villa RIGHT ON THE BEACH and the villas were so romantic being able to simply open the curtains and feel like you are on a private beach to yourself. Also, the staff was amazing! We originally booked the hotel because we planned to go to Halfmoon Festival, but it was cancelled right before our trip... we debated even going to the island since our purpose was to go to HMF, however, I am so glad we made the trip! The beach this hotel sits on is private and it is so beautiful and peaceful! Also a great place to watch the sunset. Overall this hotel exceeded our expectations and the staff did a fantastic job making us feel welcome. Also, the owner of this hotel is co-owner of HMF, so when they have the festival they provide transportation to the festival! And he said while the HMF's have been cancelled, they have been completely renovating the grounds to make it bigger and better! I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to HFM or looking for a peaceful get away! Koh Phangan has so much more to offer and wish we had more time on this beautiful island!

Would not recommend to anyone if you expect 4 star
All started that we expected a 4 star hotel with some service. As soon as we arrived we expected a reception but there was none, instead a rude old lady at the bar. There was no free pick up from the port as announced and the resort is off a massive hill that no driver wants to go down. Only for extra cash. When we arrived the room was dirty and full of ants. Shower head leaking and shower on top of the toilet. Sink was leaking terribly as well so if you want to brush your teeth prepare to get your feet wet. After 2 days of stay they served out of date food for breakfast. After my complaints the manager stop talking to us. The pool was dirty and full of leaves too. There was no room service, until you go and ask for it. As we were checking out we asked for the resort driver to take us to the port but been told that he is sleeping after the party and we need to take a cab. Of course for extra charge because no driver wants to go down the hill.

Do not stay here
This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had in my life. This hotel is not as advertised at all. We had to leave early as the conditions were disgusting and we felt unsafe. The location is in the middle of no where and there is a crazy hill you need to go up and down to access the 'resort'. The 'pool' is the size of a hot tub and is not cleaned, there is no swim up bar, no shuttle service, no breakfast, no phones in the room or room service, you cannot swim in the ocean there, no wifi (they said it was down and was going to be fixed). The room was fine but the bathroom smelled and looked like a swamp. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. I would recommend the Bayshore Resort in Had Rin.

Too far away
This hotel is located in a terrible place. They only call one taxi which is rather expensive to get to town in any direction. This would be fine if the beach were swim-able, however, the water is not fit to use and the pool is small and questionable. So if you would like to sit in your air conditioned hotel room, and enjoy drinks with the staff at the lounge for your entire vacation it could be for you. However, if you would like to shop, go to the beach and actually swim in water, go for dinner, party with other people this place is absolutely NOT what you are looking for. We were really sad that we made the choice to stay here. We thought we could have easy access to the half moon party but it was cancelled so we were left in the middle of nowhere, forced to spend big $ on their private taxi service just to enjoy the rest of the island. Oh, and we learned quickly that the taxi home (other companies) were a fraction of the cost but the staff at Bay Lounge wouldn't call them for us and the wifi was not working for the entire trip leaving us dependent on them. Others that we met there left early cutting their losses of their prepaid rooms because they were so miserable.

Amazing resort with great service!
We loved everything about Bay Lounge! The service was spectacular (and that's from New Yorkers staying in Thailand) and we really loved the people working there. They booked our tours and motorbikes and did every single thing they could to make our stay a great one. Our room was simple but we loved the location right in front of the beach and near the restaurant/bar. Prices were more than usual at the restaurant/bar but they had a good happy hour and there are a few other options within walking distance. The walk down to the resort is painfully steep but most times we got rides in and out of the area. The shower is in a room with the toilet and doesn't have a barrier/shares the same floor which we weren't used to/is kind of weird but we got used to it quickly. The Half Moon DJs all stay here so that was also cool to get to know some of them before going to the festival!

Average all round but great views from resort
On arrival we arranged to be picked up from the port but our driver never came into the pick up area like all the other taxis claiming that he was not allowed in by the police and would be fined. We were kept waiting for over 40 minutes and needed to make phone calls to the hotel to get the driver to come into the port. Finally to top it off no apology from the driver or resort manager regarding this . Our room had a musty smell (from the linen). Linen and towels also had stains. Located at bottom of very steep hill - taxis charged 50 baht extra to drop you at the end of the hill. Staff not really attentive in the restaurant. Also the restaurant menu had several items unavailable. On the plus side we stayed here for 3 nights during the full moon party and if you're not too concerned about the standard of accommodation it's not too far from haadrin beach (5-10 mins). The views from the resort are beautiful and you have a small private beach in front of you. Not too many rooms so it feels very private.

Peaceful beach front hotel
This is just a good choice if you plan to have a relax getaway in Koh Phangan. A bit far from town area but you can request hotel staffs to help you rent a motobike. The staffs are friendly and helpful especially the bartender named 'chu chu'. We had a nice chat with you when hanging at the lounge.

Amazing place and location.
This is a stunning place. You're right on the beach and the staff can't help you enough. A very welcoming family business. There is a steep hill coming down to the hotel but don't let this put you off as soon as you get to the bottom you will be in love! Free transport was put on to get guests to the full moon party and the hotel offer pick up/ drop off for ariving/ departing guests. Thank you Nora and family for an amazing stay.

Loved this hotel
On a recent trip to thailand we stayed in 5 different hotels wile travelling including some top luxury ones - this place is not 5 star but it was actually my favourite of the whole visit. The rooms are a little odd and not huge, but comfortable and totally sufficient. The setting is beautiful with an amazing private beach. The staff were wonderful, really friendly and helpful, the best of anywhere i saw. The bar is lovely, quite lively but not loud or disturbing, with a pool table and games available. They let us borrow a canoe for free and were really helpful in facilitating and suggesting other stuff to do. Food and cocktails were delicious and very reasonably priced. Easy to get to Haad Rin by taxi (organised by staff and very cheap). Could not really recommend this place more!
