“The owner gets less friendly by year...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

i've been here 4 times in the oast ten years. The simple but classic bamboo bungalows are cheap and comfortable, allthough simple. No aircon, cold water, etc. Slowly but surely new accomodation has been build, in all kind of comfort levels. I guess, most of it is quite good. Its clean and ok priced. The food is ok. Their biggest problem is the owner and the staff. They lost the fun in their jobs years ago, and it gets worse every year. I would recommend staying somewhere else...

“Loved Thong Nai Pan”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

After staying on Haad Chao Phao for a few days we headed up to Thong Nai Pan, so glad we did. The beach is beautiful, lots of bars and restaurants without being too much. Central Cottage was better after our 6 nights Seaflower Bungalows, but yes more expensive (Had AC, Concrete rather than Wooden) Breakfast a bit rank (flies everwhere) but overall we came here for some A/C after 6 days without it and we could get in for 2 days in peak season, so we were happy.

“Love thong nai pan!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013 via mobile

Me and my boyfriend and 2 friends stayed here in June and it was a lovely time :) the staff are very helpful and the bar next door (Yai Bar) is amazing, we made friends for life!
It's very chilled out, they are very trusting relaxed people, no suspicious 'u gotta pay for this or that' speeches. Manager was really nice, quiet and helpful.
Laundry was done lovely and fast, food was great, pool was in need of slight repair but it was fun and pretty and the views made up for the wobbly pool ladder lol it looks unique anyway :) the beach is one of the best on ko phangan. Im heading back here very soon with my daughter this time :D it's a very kid friendly place away from the hype.
There is a local 7/11 and friendly cab/travel organisers.
I will not forget my experience! It is basic but it's friendly, clean and we got a pool room for
1000 a night :) the huts are more basic but with aircon, the four of us stayed in one a couple of nights 600 a night. Will never forget the huge lizard we saw and all of the cute kittens and puppys there and at yai bar.
Can't wait to be back!

“I wouldn't recommend Central Cottage on Koh Phangan”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

We booked this hotel via booking.com. Actually the pics are not appropriate to the things we faced with in the hotel. Many things like furniture, door locks and interiors in general are old and don't work properly sometimes. It's not well-priced because there are different hotels on the same beach with better rooms for the same price. Showers near the pool don't work. There was a lot of sand in the room because there was nothing to help us washing out the feet. Bad smell in the bathroom was the last thing after we decided to change hotel.

“Great basic beach rooms on a beautiful beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013 via mobile

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights our first night being 31st of December 2012. We booked a standard pool view room which is basic Thai style room but had everything we needed, comfy bed, hot shower, small tv with 2 British channels, a fridge and 15 steps from the beach! The beach is fantastic for swimming and very quiet, other than two jet ski's, the pool is also very lovely addition. The room cost us £25 per night and included a buffet breakfast with cereal, eggs, pancakes and fruit. The hotel arranged our travel to full moon party which was 200baht each way per person with a range of drop off and collections. They also did evening bbq's and the restaurant food was good. All in all a very successful stay!

Stayed December 2012
