Hotels near Thong Sala, Koh Phangan

We had a wonderful stay at Kupu Kupu Phangan and can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and very well-maintained—ideal for relaxation and well-being. A very special thank you goes to the fantastic team, especially Bank, AD, Micky, San, Aek, Lin, Ziny, Nonoe, and Foam. Everyone was always warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. We were particularly touched by the loving and patient way our son was treated. As a family, we felt welcome from the very first moment. We would love to return and wholeheartedly recommend Kupu Kupu Phangan.

A wonderful beach hotel! The grounds aren't huge, but they're very green and well-maintained. The bungalows are super cozy and charming. From any bungalow, it's no more than a 1-minute walk to the beach. There's a restaurant on-site serving both European and Thai cuisine. For breakfast, I even found oatmeal with mango! The beach is beautiful and long enough for a nice stroll. The sand is incredibly soft and fine. It does get a bit shallow at low tide. There's a Seven-Eleven about a 7-minute walk from the hotel along the main road.

This wasn't our first visit to Koh Phangan, but it was our first time at this hotel. The staff was polite and helpful. After checking in, we were shown to a room on the third floor, on the edge, next to the road and the pumping station at the back of the hotel. We asked to be moved right away, without even entering the room. Without question, we were offered two other rooms to choose from. One was on the ground floor with access to the pool, but next to the road. The other was on the second floor, away from the road and further from the pumping station. We chose the second. By the way, the hotel has several price ranges, and ours was the cheapest! We booked a room with breakfast included, and we didn't regret it. Egg dishes, fresh herbs, fruit, buns, sausages, chicken, and more... overall, it was filling. The hotel is located next to a snorkeling spot, with lots of fish, shells, and sea urchins. We knew about this spot, so we went to this beach for our first four days. We made the right choice. The only downside is the air conditioner located directly above the bed. Turn it off and it's stuffy, but turn it on and it's immediately cold 🙄 Overall, it's a pretty decent hotel. The photo shows the view from the room. There was a sense of intimacy, as the building is U-shaped, with windows overlooking the courtyard and pool. It's very quiet.

Great stay, all of the staff were hard working, and friendly but Catalina, Moe and Aaron were exceptional and a credit to the team. Good location, comfortable room,big pool, plenty of beds, direct access to the beach, fabulous sunsets snd a short walk to Haadrin Walking Street, restaurants and its beach. The only negative was that smoking was permitted around the pool, it would’ve been a more pleasant experience if there were smoking and none smoking areas and it was enforced by staff.

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

Was something what I need, quite remotes place, but not far from everything. Very particular and special place I would say, something unusual. The hotel is not old, but I felt in the room that it’s quite old, the atmosphere) The linen had spots. The bed is big and very comfortable. Great incredible view! You can just be stuck near the window. Really spacious room. Very high, so to bring there suitcases I wouldn’t recommend, you would just suffer. There is Apichada view point, one of the best places in Phangan.

”Spectacular views, shame about everything else” Venus on Koh Phangan is the definition of a mixed bag—and unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positives here. Let's start with what works: the view is absolutely stunning. Perched overlooking the water, it's genuinely breathtaking and exactly what you'd hope for when booking an island getaway. If you're someone who can sit on a balcony and stare at the sea for hours, you'll get that here. The problem is you'll have to stare at it from a very tired room. The accommodation is old and frankly, dying for a renovation. Everything feels dated and worn—furniture, fittings, decor—like stepping back in time but not in a charming way. It's functional at best. The location compounds the issues. It's terrible—nothing around at all, and almost inaccessible by foot. You'll absolutely need your own transportation (scooter or taxi) just to get to a restaurant or convenience store. If you're without wheels, you're stranded. Overall, Venus trades entirely on its view, but neglects everything else. If you prioritize scenery above all and have your own transport, maybe. Otherwise, look for somewhere that puts equal effort into the actual accommodation and location.

The place is very beatiful with amazing view, but for 4 stars hotel they need to make improvements in general, service, food and facilities. The hotel is too far from the center about 40 min by car, and the hotel doesn’t provide any shuttle for free, if you want to go to the city for any reason you have to pay. Breakfast: there is variety of food but I’m my opinion it’s not a good quality, I was expecting more. Facilities: swimming pool and sun beds is ok, they provide one kind of fabric but isn’t towel. Room: my room was beatiful and clean, but so dark, bathroom the floor was a kind of tiles slippery and little bit, this is a kind of hazards.

We booked a room with a balcony. When checking in, they gave us a terrible room with a view of the utility rooms, which smelled of dampness and was dark, we went to the reception and after that they moved us to a good room with a balcony and a view of the sea. The building itself is really strange, you can get lost. If you live, then only in a room with a balcony, but there are rooms with a view of the wall. You can call a taxi at the reception, but you need to bargain. They charge 150 baht to Tons of Rock. Also 150 to Mae Hada. It takes about an hour to get to Full Moon Party on Haad Rin, there from the hotel we were taken as a group in a minivan for 200, back for 400 (not from the hotel to Songoeo). Despite the 2nd floor, there were a lot of mosquitoes. Breakfast was paid for in advance, but you can buy it on the spot. The hotel is located at the end of the beach, but the beach is small, so it is not far to 7/11 and a cafe. We vacationed in May, there was low tide, the water was knee-deep.
