“May not be for all, but definitely for us”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

We spent two nights at the Sabai Beach Resort and really loved our stay there. I felt we got more than what we paid for. The Resort was locally run and everyone was extremely kind and gracious with their hospitality. Definitely try to grab a Thai dinner or lunch from the restaurant. You can't ask for more authentic and delicious Thai food than this! Like others have mentioned, the beach is not the greatest for swimming but it is perfect for relaxing and catching a beautiful sunset. They do try their best to fight nature and clean the beach every morning of leaves and seaweed.

We had booked a Garden and Sea bungalow. I was worried that there would be noise coming in from the the reception/restaurant as we were right next door but was relieved to find the room quiet throughout our stay. The room was clean and basic. Air con worked great, bathroom was tidy without a trace of mold or mildew. We were able to rent motorbikes from the resort without a problem.

The resort definitely gives you that castaway feeling. It was so quiet and peaceful, we found it difficult to believe that this was a party island. I would definitely come back without hesitation.

“Not our thing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 11, 2012

These bungalows are great if you're travelling Thailand on a budget and want that real basic accomodation with a castaway feeling. However, this was just not for us. The problem was more the accomodation. The setting was fantastic, with amazing views but the hut on the beach just didn't cut it for us.

After the first day we avoided the inclusive breakfast which was uncovered and teaming with flies and sensibly chose to eat at the establishment nextdoor.

It's not within walking distance of the town so you will need to hire a scooter. Unfortunately during our stay all of the scooters were booked out and we faced a long walk to the main road to catch a cab.

Authentic, just not our thing.

“Good But ...........”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

We stayed at the sabai beach resort for three nights.
We loved it but be a bit be carefull if the owner promisis to pick you up at the Pier.
We where left standing for 40 mins and ended up getting a taxi at 150baht each.
The correct price should have been 50baht each.
When we got to the resort I asked both the husband and wife who are the owners what had happened and they both had a different story.
When we checked out I reminded the owner of this and would they deduct the price of the taxi from our bill to which he said no.
So my conclusion is that the owners are not giving as good a service or duty of care as they should.

“Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

We were meant to stay 5 nights and loved the place so much we stayed 8 nights, did not want to leave. The bungalows are right at the beach front, it is so relaxing and beautiful. The rooms are clean and very cozy. The beach and gardens are also well maintained. The family who run the place are lovely and cannot do enough for you. You can order food and eat at your room or on the beach. We ate at the resort most days and the food is excellent and very good value. This place is a home from home, will definitely stay here again when I (hopefully) return to Koh Phangan.

“Extremely satisfied...unbelievable how good this place is!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

The price is really low as usual in Thailand but the service is great!
We stayed there three nights (2-5 July 2012)
The rooms are extraordinary, they prepare them with care and love (they set the towels in a heart shape).
The place itself it's fantastic, great view on the ocean and really beautiful, quiet and comfortable environment.
The staff is just awesome! They were really friendly and useful with any enquiry and we also ate there every lunch and dinner and the food was great too!
The breakfast is included and the last morning we had to leave at 6am to get an early ferry and they offered to prepare us some sandwiches (for free!) as we couldn't attend the breakfast!
We were amazingly surprised, it's hard to find a service good as this one!
We will go back again if we will ever come back to Kho phangan.
Book here! It is totally worth!
