Second stay on koh phangan and third hotel there. Without a doubt the best of the bunch. This hotel had great food at very fair prices, a location right on the beach, amazing service from all the staff and very comfortable rooms (as well as a selection of free dvds and books). Staff happily assisted our group with preparation for the full moon party (including assisting with body painting and transport). Has a pretty average fitness centre. But this isn't even an amenity we were aware of and, in realit, should be considered a bonus!

We have stayed here 6 times and love it so much! Rooms are perfect with a nice private outdoor section (we usually book at B room). Pool is stunning and food is delicious! Staff are always friendly. If you are looking for rest and relaxation this is the place, 45 minutes from the craziness of Haad Rin (which is a good thing). There are a few cute restaurants nearby but I would recommend hiring a motorbike or car to get around.

I highly recommend Sunset Cove. We stayed in a pool-side bungalow--clean, cool, comfortable. Food on site was excellent; beach was beautiful; and the sunsets were beyond amazing! Great snorkeling out beyond the rocks, about 100 yards offshore. Easy walk to more food, massages, shopping. November is said to be the rainiest month, but don't be deterred--the rain blows in, then blows out leaving gorgeous sun. Management couldn't have been nicer. We travel a lot, and this was a high point.

Beautiful place to relax. Awesome kitchen, polite staff and not crowded at all! Plan was to stay 3 nights...after having a great first day we have booked 4 more nights. I would recommend Sea view bungalow as it offers great value.
