“The restaurant compliments the resort.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

Thongtapan Resort was one of the best stay that I’ve had … It starts from the beautiful location but the stay is made worthwhile by the people who are running this place! Professional yet so welcoming and personal in the service…



The restaurant compliments the resort. Ines and me had best of times there…

“A glimpse of a Thailand past”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

Situated at the quiet north end of one of the best beaches on the island - swept each morning by hand
Not so quiet and isolated that it's completely remote though
Staff were excellent and supportive and the bungalows although basic were very comfortable
There have been some criticisms in the past but it is nice to see these have been taken on board and have been addressed - whilst we were there new night lighting was installed making a big difference
There is now some assistance in getting luggage to the bungalow
On the downside we were disappointed that sometimes wet towels were not cleaned but merely hung out to dry

“We loved this place, great bungalows on the best beach of the island”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We absolutely loved this place and it was a great find. We intially were going to stay at Sandee Bungalows down the road but they were so hideous we walked up the beach and stumbled upon this place. The staff were absolutely excellent, really friendly and accommodating inlcuding lovely restaurant staff. The bungalows were fantastic, very romantic, cool and quiet (bit of a climb up the hill but hey ho). They are cleaned and turned daily (as long as you request it on the little sign in the window). The beach is lovely and unlike many other resorts the beach and resort areas are cleaned daily. There were some building materials at the bottom of the hill which would look better to be removed but overall the resort was extremely clean and tidy. The restaurant food was adequate so we generally went into the village to eat which was great, but certainly the breakfast was good and reasonable so we ate breakfast everyday and also used the bar quite a bit. We also loved the village nearby and had lots of nice meals out, probably one of the best places to stay on the island as most other beaches not anywhere near as nice. The north bay much quieter than the south which we liked and the north bays village is much nicer with more of a traditonal feel. Overall a great experience and thoroughtly recommended.

“Great choice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

We really enjoyed Thongtapan Resort. Location is simply superb - nice, clean, quiet beach with few nice restaurants close by. Staff were really friendly and helpful! Clean and spacious bungalows at reasonable price.

Dear buttersben,
We are sorry to hear that we have not met your expectation. We thrive to improve but without the critical information such as why you think it is awful, we are unable to rectify anything.
Regarding needles and the dog washed up. We are unable to control what the waves bring to the shore, sadly there is more rubbish than treasure. Our staff are working continuously to keep up with the washed up. And together with other kind guests help moved the heavy remains.
Regarding additional charge of the A/C option, Koh Phangan faces unpredictable power shortage due to excess demand and we expected the worst during the New Year celebration simply because of tourists number increase radically. As a result, we put the price according to what we had to pay using A/C if the resort is running on private generator.
We apologise about the error on your food bill once again.
