We stayed one night in this resort after the full moon party and before we took our boat to Koh Tao at Tongsala pier. The resort is lovely, the restaurant is very nice and our room (we had a studio > got a free upgrade) was very big, clean and comfortable. I think this is the most friendly staff I... More

The Location. Milky Bay Resort is situated in Bantai which is a great location if you're going to the half moon festival psytrance party. It's also quite close to Tong Sala and the hotel provided free transportation from there and back for free in their truck. Rent a jeep and drive to Tong Naipan. The Accommodation. Lovely grounds, happy and... More

We always found swimming pool water really warm in Thailand so thats why we decided to do a half shaded pool as this keeps the water a little cooler and of course offers relief from the hot sun, so I am pleased that it made a positive difference to you.Thank you for the room tip.It has prompted us to recheck...

The standard bungalows are our first entry rooms and always advise guests to upgrade to a more spacious room as the bungalows are just that, a "bungalow" and can be very tight.We will look into the lighting and making them brighter.Dissapointed that you only enjoyed the pizza but thank you for sending in your review.All points well noted.

Stayed for 4 nights in January around half moon time. The resort sent someone to pick me up free of charge from the pier and room was ready upon arrival. They also organised onward travel to koh samui including drop off and transfer at the other end - in general, the staff can't do enough to help! Travel to the... More

We stayed at the Milky Bay for 5 nights in a superior double room. The staff are very friendly and there is a good atmosphere. The resort is mainly all traditional Thai huts which all look amazing.

We loved this place. We spent a week there in the middle of February during a three week trip to Thailand. Milky Bay was just perfect for us. Friendly, food was great. I think we had dinner next to the sea every night. Stunningly beautiful setting. Highly recommend

I had a great stay at Milky Bay - wonderful little bungalows in a wood behind the beach. Staff went out of their way to be friendly and polite. Probably the best massages I had in Thailand, and some of the best food in the beach-front restaurant. The views from there are stunning. I would say my standard room was... More

Thank you for your very generous review.The sunsets are trully special from the resort especially with a lovely refreshing cocktail so yes you are right they are not to be missed.The sea tide is unfortunately out at this time of the year so the water is shallow but glad that you explored other parts of the island with better beaches...

We stayed 5 nights for new year, and loved our time there. The staff are incredibly attentive and accommodating. Particularly recommend the traditional Thai massages in the beautiful ambient jungle setting.. Just watch out for the snakes.. Joke! I'd highly recommended the milky bay to anyone staying in koh phangan.
