“Good beach hotel in a questionable location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

Stayed here for two nights with 3 other friends and our first thought was how good the hotel surroundings were and the excellent beach. However, the hotel is miles away from anything and a good 20 minute drive to Haad Rin beach where all the Full Moon action is. So, if you're heading to Koh Phangan for that, this is probably not the hotel for you. The rooms are also just average, nothing special and they are also just locked with a padlock which I guess wouldn't make most people feel completely secure. However, the rooms provide good air conditioning and a good shower and the quality of the beach and pool also make up for any inadequacies. But, being in such a distant location, you are also pressured to use the hotel restaurant which is good... when they get your order correct. The staff working in the restaurant did not speak good English, so it was often difficult to make an order.

Room Tip: Try and get anywhere near the beach as this is the main attraction of this hotel.

“If you choose this hotel check which room you have sellected!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Stayed here for the NYE full moon party had to pay for 7 nights.... only stayed 2! We had no option but to have the most basic room as thats all that was available. It was like a prision cell, the door was like cardboard and you had to lock it with a padlock!!! Could hear people all around us, no safe in room - if you want to use a safe they have one in reception but count your money first as I'm not sure I trusted them! Also they close at 8pm so no access to safe after that time! Bathroom was horrendous the shower was like a drip! Food in the restaurant was awful! My boyfriend jumped in the pool and the underwater light floated to the top connected to the wall by wires! I would not stay here again and would not reccommend this hotel to anyone!! Pictures can be very discieving!

“Amazing place, fantastic value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

We picked this spot while in thailand in 2010, and what a value it was. The price was great, and the resort is beautiful. The archetecture is incredible. We had a beachfront bungalow, and it was very clean and comfy. The staff was fantastic, and the private beach was lovely. I reccommend waling out onto the beach off to the right around sunset. It is aways from the madness on the south of the island, and a short walk to thong sala (port town). We stayed for 5 days, could have stayed for weeks. You can rent jeeps from the resort and explor the island, which I highly reccommend. I really hope to make it back to thailand, and if we get there we will stay here.

“Paradise!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

After exploring the island and going from hotel to hotel, I stumbled across the Grand Sea Resort and was immediately overwhelmed but its beauty and peacefulness. The resort was perfect! The service was excellent and the prices where very cheap. The resort itself is beautifully designed and very spacious. The best quality of the resort is its peacefulness! No busy bees running around or staff members bugging you. Everything was calm and laid back. The pools are great with the main pool overlooking a very beautiful scenic view! It doesn't get better than this!!

Room Tip: Bungalows 5,6,7,9 are very nice!
