What can I say other than fantastic. If you want a nice apartment at a very good rate with views to die for then look no further. What a view to wake up to or sit on the balcony and enjoy.
We hired a scooter from reception and within 5 minutes it was there. You will need the scooter to get to beaches and to save the legs when walking back up the hill as others have mentioned. My partner was worried about being on the back of the bike but after 2 minutes she was reassured. The road (only really one road), was practically empty and we never rode over 30 mph....no need.
The beauty of the scooter means you can visit all the local beaches at your leisure. We went to all of them within 10 kilometres (to the north). The best we thought was salad beach. Part of us thought how nice it would be to have had accomodation right on the beach, which we have before but were so glad that we chose sunset hill for the views, service and quality of room.
If the island was more developed these apartments would cost double easily.

It was a little quiet when we were there (9th sept for a week) so we didnt eat in the apartment but went to all four restaurants at the bottom of the hill. All served up delicious thai food at very low prices.

We was warned that the weather may be poor at this time of year and half the days were cloudy but this was actualy nice as you could lay on the beach all day and not feel uncomfortably hot.

great staff, very friendly and helpful......perfect choice and if back in phangan its a no brainer that this will be used again

We stayed here for 7 nights mid August and we were best impressed with the hospitality of the staff, the 180o panoramic view from our apartment and just the stunning views . Ok the pool is not alot to write home about but then the sea is only a hotel ride away or 10/15 min walk. Then there is the massage palour about 5 mins on scooter Wow what service and attention to deatil. The both businesses deserve to do well, Thankyou everyone for making our holiday so memorable, Who knows might even come back one day

amazing view with amazin british staff!!
it located on a top of a hill and from the pool you can see a little bit of heaven.
the restorant at the hotel give very good food (italian food too) with low price.
in the hotel there is 2 shuffels per day to 7/11 and to the beach.
the rooms are clean and beautiful with airco', clean bath, refregerator and microwave.
the hotel located far from the center and the moon party but down the hill is a place you can catch tooktooks and cabs.

We stayed for 2 nights at Sunset Hill resort during a holiday tour of Thailand. We had booked it through Agoda and got a very good price for the room, so when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at what we got for our money. The hotel is up a steep hill and has fantastic panoramic views of the sea - truly stunning! We arrived after a rather ropey boat journey from Koh Tao and we were a few hours earlier than official check in time. We had a lovely welcome from Adam on reception. We were given a welcome drink and he enthusiastically talked us through the hotel facilities, the services they offer and explained the map of the island to us before we were shown to our room. We had originally booked a garden view room which was great but once we had seen the fab views we decided to upgrade for an extra £30 per night to a room with a sea view. We were very impressed with the new room. The room was large and bright with floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides, a huge comfy bed, kitchenette area, TV and sound system and lovely large bathroom. Not to mention the huge wrap around balcony with our own sun loungers.
The pool area is not massive but it is lovely and there were lots of sun loungers available. We practically had the pool to ourselves.
Nice touches were the free wifi throughout the resort and the DVD library (although they could do with a few more films!)
As well as the views the other outstanding feature about this hotel is most definitely the staff. They cannot do enough to assist you and make your stay a great one. We wanted to hire a moped to see some of the island and the hotel have links with a company who brought the bike up the hill to us at the hotel and collected it when we were finished with it. Also one night we went down to the restaurant for an evening meal but unfortunately we were too late as the kitchen had closed. Kamila who was on reception said that she would order some food for us from a local Thai restaurant and they would deliver it to the hotel. After she had done this for us the heavens opened and a huge rainstorm started, so Kamila said they would not come up the hill in the rain. She then got on her moped and went and got it for us - getting soaked in the process! Also we had been debating wether or not to go to the half moon party on the island that night, in the end we decided we would go but as it was late reception had closed. We started to walk down the hill to try and get a taxi from the main road. As we were walking Kamila was finishing her shift and going home, she ended up walking with us and ordered us a taxi on her own mobile phone. She then joined us for a drink in the bar at the bottom of the hill (Charlies Bar) while we waited. She was a star! So if you are reading this Sunset Hill Resort general manager - give Kamila a pay rise!!!
We had a lovely stay at Sunset Hill Resort and would recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Phangan. Excellent value for money.
