Sea Love Beach Bar & Bungalows

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Highlight in meinen Augen ist die Strandnähe, man kommt aus dem Bungalow und ist direkt dort, wirklich sehr schön! Man darf die Surfbretter und Stand-Up-Paddles benutzen und damit aufs Meer fahren, wirklich super!! Vielen Dank! Service auch super, sehr nett. Preise im Restaurant auch absolut angemessen. Highlight auf meiner Thailand Reise!

We stayed in the bungalows that were beautifully crafted with lots of effort to detail . With Hammocks /beanbags outside your bungalow in a tranquil setting ,Beautiful views . Food is amazing , some reviews said more expensive but we found food high quality / presentation we didn’t feel that it was expensive . Best pad Thai I have had , they are eco friendly so don’t have plastic water bottles in room, but water dispenser located in reception you can refill bottle at any time . The staff and hosts were very friendly and welcoming at all times . One day I had appointment to get Nails painted at the next hotel 5 min walk along beach , as tide was in couldn’t walk the short distance , so the host took me on their scooter the long road way round very kind , nothing was too much trouble . Thank you !!

Love our stay here, very relaxed and chilled vibe with background music all day. We got a free upgrade to a sea view bungalow which was lovely! The pool isn’t huge but wasn’t an issue as you are right on the beach front. Each bungalow has a little tray of water on the steps to wash the sand off before going in your room which was a nice touch. Room was comfortable, good A/C with mosquito net. Wasn’t a huge choice of places to eat within walking distance but there’s a night food market 5 mins walk away with lots of choice. Staff were very friendly and welcoming! Food was great! Would defo stay again!

For the whole time of our stay here we kept asking ourselves how people could actually rate this dump with five stars (which is how we got fooled and book a bungalow here!). The place is basically falling apart, the pics used on the internet have probably been taken when it first opened. I won’t go into details, I’ll let the photos speak for me. The bungalow we stayed, number 16, is considered “Deluxe”, not even standard. It was all the way to the back, next to the entrance of the resort by the parking lot. There was a window that could not even be open so you always had to keep the light on. The filthy bathroom had the safe box on the floor that had to be used as a step as the bathroom was on a lower lever than the rest of the bungalow. This is just to mention a couple of things. Customer service is something that people who run this place don’t even know how to spell. The air con unit in our bungalow was leaking and when we told them the answer was: “We don’t know when and if the guy can come to fix it, maybe tomorrow!”. The technicians came to look at it (they opened it and cleaned it) in the evening of the second day of our three days stay. We weren’t expecting a refund or a free meal, but a proper apology, or a complementary drink, while we were forced out of our bungalow for over one hour when they tried to fix the air con unit, would have been nice and appreciated. Anyway, even after the technicians looked at it the air con kept leaking so we had to spend three nights with the constant noise of a drop falling on a soaked towel on the floor. When we checked in there was a big sign saying “join our cooking classes, 500 THB!”. I asked for some details and the receptionist (who had the attitude of someone who was doing as a favor for being there) said: “We’ll see, because you need to choose what you want to do and I don’t even know if I’m free!” (No comment!). I could go on and on with my rant and list dozens of negative things about this place but I think I spent even too much time. My thumb up is only for the location (geographically speaking), this horrible place is walking distance from a few shops and restaurants and there’s a lovely beach right in front!! Overall we enjoyed our stay in Koh Phangan, but surely not in this resort,…. book somewhere else, don’t be fooled by the positive reviews (like we did!!), for the money they ask (being in Thailand) you can surely find proper luxury and customer service somewhere else!!

Lovely well kept beach hunts with unspoiled views of the sea Restaurant food was excellent although more expensive than other places in the area Beach however was not particularly nice with big seaweed problem Could do with some hooks in the hunts to be able to hang a few things up as space is limited. Had an issue with the shower which was fixed immediately - just wish we had mentioned it early rather than having a few very cold showers !!

Pros: - restaurant on site has great food, albeit slightly more expensive than other restaurants near by - Thai staff were lovely and very accommodating - less than 5 min walk to 7/11, nearby restaurants, and massage place - massage therapist on the beach - beautiful beach with hammocks and bean chairs - cheap Cons: - rooms need a refresh. Our door wouldn’t shut unless it was latched or padlocked - we had to go buy pillows as the ones provided were completely flat - mattress was uncomfortable and springs could be felt - only one short sheet provided: we couldn’t cover both our feet and shoulders - the room was MUCH smaller then shown online - there was two concrete steps to the bathroom, which meant if you wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night you had to turn the lights on (waking up my partner) - lots of mosquitoes in the room - there was glass on the beach
