Arrived at Blue hill resort on Koh Phangan yesterday and was really excited the hotel was beautiful and the views stunning, Hotel was pretty empty and we had the pool to ourselves which was cool. Have travelled Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia for 3 months last year and had no major problems with the bugs, you expect a certain amount of ants, lizards and spiders these are tropical climiates. However I draw the line at cockroaches in my bed which is what we found at 1am on our return from town! We informed the hotel staff who apologised and moved us from our sea view villa to the hotel rooms where we found yet another cockroach! All though at least this time it wasn't climing into bed with us! As there was a difference in price between the villa and the hotel room we asked for the extra back this morning when we were told it was a fly and we couldn't have our money back. This hotel was not a 10 GBP a night room it cost 42 GBP and for the money I don't expect what I got. If you wanna stay in a wildlife park go to blue hill resort!

For Ko Phangan, Blue Hill is one of the nicer resorts. It has excellent views over Ko Samui, a pool and very friendly staff. While they did not have a bar by the pool, the staff were on hand to take your orders and bring your meals / drinks to the poolside. You can walk into Had Rinn along the beach in about 20 - 30 mins. Areas to be aware of are the persistent drainage problems with the shower and numerous ants in the room. But I suppose this is living real close to nature. The major construction work has been finished and they now need to complete the final touches ie, garden, walkways, etc. Sometimes going back to the hotel at night can be a problem as there are not that many taxi's around. Overall, the hotel is above average for Ko Phangan standards.
