“Do not stay here! - Building work.. etc..”

Pha-Ngan Cabana Resort

Dec 22, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

Under NO circumstances stay here! We booked a five night stay over Christmas at this so called luxurious and friendly resort only to move out after our first night as it was anything but!!!

We paid for the so called "superior room" at a cost of 1800 Baht only to find we were given a dingy small moldy room which smelt of urine. Not to mention the fact that it was opposite a building site where they are building more flats, and I do mean opposite, the building work is in the middle of the resort and was only 2 meters from our room!!! The building work had only started and I can only imagine it to last for at least 6 months considering the size of what they were building!!!!

When I went to complain I fell through the wooden floor as it was rotten seriously injuring my leg!! Only after this did they move us to a supposedly better room. This was a room with a double bed were the room which was barely 3 meters across. We both could not walk around and there was no place to store any clothes or other items. The walls are paper thin and you can hear a word for word conversation of the people in the next room, let alone there TV and the near by trance music from the Pirates bar which is about 300 metres away.

After no sleep in the worst possible place I have ever stayed in I decided to leave the following morning only to be told that I would have to wait three to four days to get my money back. After kicking off and a few phone calls I was given back 2500 baht out of my initial 9000 baht cost. However I would gladly lose the 6500 baht not to spend another night in this so called resort.

The prebooked rooms are like a dog house. We upgraded to bigger rooms with aircon. It was still very small. The aircon of one room was very loud, it broke later that night after a lot of water came out.
In the other room the bed was dirty from fresh sperm and blood.
The shower is not working god, almost no water.

During our stay of 2 days all people around us moved out.
The restaurant is ok but overpriced. The TV there is on all day very loud.
After we all 4 got very sick from food (not 100% sure if come from this restaurant) we needed hot water to trink, the restaurant was unwilling to help us so we went to the other street side in a small shop where the people are friendly.

All bungalows and rooms are very near, there is no space and privatsphere.

Stay away from this resort. We moved away to the Grand Sea Resort and this is worth every bath.

“Excellent”

Pha-Ngan Cabana Resort

0/5 found this review helpful

This cosy little resort on the north western coast of Koh Pha Ngan is everything you could want for. It is extremely clean, on the beach, the staff are just so friendly and it is only a matter of a taxi ride away from Haad Rin, the resort with the bars and where the full moon party is held. I would not hesitate in going back to Pha Ngan Cabana the next time I am in Thailand. It is purely heaven as there are not as many tourists on this part of the island which means that the beach is deserted most days and there is plenty of time to relax and chill out.
