Me and my boyfriend stayed here in July for 8 nights, it was our first holiday away together. After spending a morning coming over from Koh Samui, setting foot in this place was a breath of fresh air. I can not recommend this place enough, the basic accommodation is excellent value for money, the staff are very friendly and will bend over backwards for your every need. I was once suffering a bit of sun stroke one evening and they event bought our dinner to our bungalow! At night you can sit in the bar area playing a game of cards, drinking beer and overlooking the sea at night. Perfect.

The pool is clean and views across the beach are stunning. The breakfast ( free) in the morning is great (pancakes, fresh fruit, toast, ham, eggs etc) is overlooking the sea. If we were to go back to this part of Thailand then we would love to stay at Sunset Cove again. The resort is also family and couple friendly.

We want to go back!

Sunset Cove is an amazing place to stay. The staff are fantastic and will do anything they can to help. We stayed in one of the sea-front rooms and it was awesome. decking area over looking the pool & the sea, big bedroom and a great bathroom with a tub big enough for 2 and a fab outside shower looking up at palm trees!!

The food at sunset cove is really good, although it is more expensive than at some of the restaurants on the road. I would highly recommend Big Mountain, Peppercorn (for steaks) and the Eagle Bar in Hadd Yao.

We hired a scooter for a week or so and it's definately worth it as there are great places to go and see. Had yao is worth going to, more restaurants and massage places on the beach than at sunset cove beach.

Sunset cove is a fantastic place to chill out and relax. If you like diving then I highly recommend using Had Yao divers - really great bunch of people and fantastic diving days.

Can't fault sunset cove - one of the best places i've ever stayed at!!

If you are looking for a complete chill out in a really friendly, clean and relaxing resort then this is perfect. we booked 4 nights here and ended staying for 6 night, and we didnt want to leave then!
the pool and outside area is one of the nicest i have been to in thailand, with the sea views from you lounger and perfect sunsets - it really is great. We had a sea view villa, which was a nice luxury too, but the garden villas looked just as nice, as you will spen all your time round the pool anyway. breakfast is included, which is nice and the food here is excellent. The service is excellent and they are super friendly. You can just get drinks out of the fridge and go on the internet as you wish, you just have to sign it down with your room number - it is like your all one big family, and because the resort is small you get to know other people there, which is really nice.
I really would recommend this place to anyone. there isnt much on the beach apart from a few more resorts, and one or two other restaurants, so if you want lively bars etc this isnt the place for you. if we ever go back i would definately stay here again!

From the pick-up at the ferry, to the drop off 6 days later, we loved nearly everything about Ko Phangan and Sunset Cove Resort. We had me and my partner, and a friend of ours staying, so we booked a Seaview Cottage for us all to hang out at, and basic Cottage for our friend to sleep in.

They were all very nice and clean. The Seaview Cottage has a big wooden bath and an outdoor but totally private shower. We found the shower water temperature a bit variable, but because of the heat, it wasn't really an issue. The bed was King Size, and very firm, as are all beds in Thailand.

As mentioned by others, the rooms are serviced every three days, which is told to you upon check-in, but they will clean or change anything if the need arises.

The obvious first thing to comment on is the pool, which is large, and cool, and stunningly beautiful, especially at night and at dusk. There didn't really seem to be an issue getting a sunbed, until the day we checked out, when there was a influx of new guests.

The food at Sunset Cove was nice, if a bit basic sometimes. The service (both for food and drinks, and in general) on the other hand was first class, always quick, friendly and efficient, and always with a big smile. Not to mention a pretty good grasp of English by a lot of the staff. It was never a big deal if you left without paying for a coffee, as we either remembered, or were gently reminded on our next visit.

I hired a kayak from the resort for an hour to do a bit of exploring. The beach is picturesque, but it is very shallow for probably a hundred metres out, until you get to the coral. Very nice to swim in and cool off though.

Internet is available at the resort (although a little more expensive than just down the road) and very efficiently added to your final account upon checkout. The resort 2 minutes walk to internet cafes, laundry, massage, motorbike rentals (My Hut Rentals across the road were excellent), mini-supermarkets, and restaurants, and another 10 minute walk to 7-11 and ATMs We found the best food to be at La Dolce Vita down the south end of the beach, and we were a little disappointed in The Village Green. Fellinis at the nearby town was also very good, as was Sandy Bay Restaurant at neighbouring Haad Yao.

Other thing to note is no TV reception in the rooms, although there is a large range of recent DVDs to watch if you feel the need. The Olympics started while we were there, so they wheeled out the communal TV in the restaurant/bar area for everyone to watch, nice touch.

The resort was very quiet at night, and depending on how many families with kids were there, sometimes during the day by the pool as well. Try the yummy fresh coconuts for the juice and flesh served by the resort!
