“Not as good as I thought it would be”

Sunset Cove

While this resort is definitely value for money, in a pretty location and average on accounts, I really can't understand how it gets the number 1 rating in Koh Phangan unless all other hotels there are just terrible.

We just found the location to be terrible. Miles and miles from anything by jeep which we hired, no other good restaurants or buzz closeby unless we went to other resorts. Even though the full moon party was about to be on, I think if you are in your 20's or 30's and want some restaurants and other establishments wihtin walking distance then it is a much better idea to stay in Haad Rin. We wished we had stayed there as Sunset Cove was windy beyond imagination, making it impossible to swim in the sea or the pool. The sea is so shallow that it is not worth even trying to swim in, whereas the Haad Rin beach was stunning and sheltered.

Lovely people, OK, very average food in the restaurant. Everything is nice and new and it represents great value for money and a nice isolated, (but not really idyllic) location.

TV which only played DVDs in room with hard uncomfortable couch which forced us to lie on the floor while the wind howled and storm ensued. Just not a great place if you have to spend time in the room.

We were family of 3 adult couples, looking for a week of serenity and peace on the thai islands. After searching and researching the web (including here ofcourse), we found the SUNSET COVE and booked directly by emails. the responses were quick, super-friendly, and reliable. They picked us from the pier with 1 of their vans and went directly to the resort. we stayed exectly on the rooms we booked. they were beautifully lightly decorated, super convinient and with a perfect touch. the pool was amazing - coming very handy on the low tides. the beach around is quiet and beautifull with only 1 bar on the beach. around the aftrenoon its even possible to swim, during the day just deeping in and strolling around. the SUNSET COVE were amazingly efficient with all our requests, fast and mostly accurate. the breakfast is nice and big, food in the restoraunt is nice and decently priced, though too familiar with western tounge - we prefer it local and spicy. they were happy to drive us around to neighbouring beaches, or invited a taxi for more distant locations. After 2 couples left, we decided to stay just the 2 of us 3 more days at the cove. since it was fully booked, we were offered a perfect room that actually intented to serve the owner when travelling to the island. is was above the restraunt with great views of the sea.

overall a perfect stay for all 6 of us, with all variety of expections we had. thanx to BEN the manager, Ee, To, Kai and Tong for serving us with a huge caring smile !!! very very very recomended.

“Paradise!”

Sunset Cove

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!

“Totally amazing”

Sunset Cove

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!
