Family-friendly Hotels in Koh Phangan District

The location is, of course, magnificent. For a couple of days and evenings with their beautiful sunsets, you definitely won’t want to leave anywhere. Then you will probably need to take a proper swim. The beaches at the hotel are too shallow. At least that's what happened in April. And by noon the water was too warm and not refreshing. But on Freedom Beach, if you swim further from the shore, there are a lot of fish and corals. Although, I also met a huge parrot fish and a small shark in the shallows. However, keep in mind that to the normal depth you have to swim 150 meters above the cucumbers and hedgehogs, which is a little tiring. If you're looking for a snorkeling paradise, I recommend heading to Au Leuk Beach. This is where marine abundance begins almost from the shore. Moreover, to the right and left of the beach. And in the middle there is an excellent swimming area, with good depth and the color of the water is cooler than at Nissi Beach in Cyprus. As for the hotel itself, the bungalows are cozy and clean. No frills, but everything is laconic and modern. We were quite satisfied with the breakfasts and cuisine in the restaurants. The price of the hotel is small, but we did not regret the money spent. We spent a long time choosing a place on Koh Tao and were not mistaken. The staff is friendly and smiling. Even the already legendary chief administrator, famous for her cool disposition, greeted and saw us off cordially. It depends on your luck, apparently. One of the minuses that is worth mentioning is garbage on the hotel grounds, between stones and in other hard-to-reach and other places. Plus the shower at Freedom Beach did not work. But the local beauties cover even this. The sunset at Freedom Beach is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life.

The Paradise Koh Tao Resort I was saying to my daughter how, for me, a 5 star hotel is not just about the quality of the room or building or the food or even the staff. It’s about the overall experience. Value for money, comfort, fun. We were met at the pier with our cases carried for us to a songthaews. We were met at the grand hotel by Koko who explained that there was a power cut. No electricity but he was smiling and so sincere it was not a problem for us. We were walked to our room by Koko and a colleague. They carried our cases. The room was just being finished with cleaning and we went into the massive room with a double and single bed. No AC because of power cut. It was funny with Koko explaining to us how it worked without being able to show us. My daughter and I then went to the pool which was absolutely amazing. We had the whole pool to ourselves for the afternoon. An elderly Thai couple came and we took some pictures for them. Then a German (or South African) couple. The pool and area was big enough that we weren’t in each others way. Able to relax, peace and have fun. We then ordered some ice cream and when the electricity came on we then ordered lunch; an omelette, a coconut chicken soup and red curry. It was absolutely delicious! (About 600BAHT). My daughter then showered and I had a bath on the balcony! Yes, a bath on the balcony, Bubbles bowing down the street. it was amazing! We then went down to the lobby and were driven free of charge into Koh Tao. We had a wonderful time in Koh Tao which is really alive again since covid. We then paid 500B for a cab back. We slept in the beautiful air conditioned room. The following morning we had breakfast (250B each) and were served again by Su (who was always helpful and smiling). There were other staff members (Myanmar) we didn’t get their names but thank you to them as well. Everyone was smiling, friendly, trying their best and running around for us. We then went on a snorkelling tour and when we came back went to our room which had been spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels etc. We then showered and went for dinner inside the restaurant because it was raining outside. For dinner we had Ka Pow (prawns/basil). Red Curry. Sweet and Sour Pork, coconut chicken soup (again). 4 drinks. It cost 870 Baht. The food at this place was probably the best of our entire trip. Unbelievably tasty I wanted to thank the chef. We then went and played a game of pool in the bar and then went back to the room and fell instantly asleep. The following morning a songthaews had been arranged for 8am to take us to the pier. The end! So, the night before we are at Suranthiya Koh Phangan and they are very similar. Only Suranthiya is about £350 per night and this place was about £40. I think in the 1990’s/2000’s this was Koh Tao’s Suranthiya. The place is a little bit old and weathered but it’s grand and fascinating with incredible view points and obvious history. The ambi

From our first email exchange to the good bye early in the morning, Apple was fantastic. She made our stay so comfortable that I would return to Long Bay without hesitation. The beach is secluded, quiet and calm. The bungalows are honest to the photos and 3 stars. Kept very clean and tidy, room cleaning was offered too. The pool was very clean also. Overall a lovely spot with a fantastic customer service. Thumbs up for the driver who drove us around the island always with a smile on his face. Great way to support local business during difficult times with very few tourists.

Everything was great from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out! Amazing view from our room. The stuff is really nice, great sense of service! Would really want to come back!

We stayed at Amara Resort for almost 20 days. Positive vibes in every department starting from the reception very helpful and nice people ( We check in with Tim but all of them were excellent). The room was spacious and clean. Housekeeping very attentive. We had breakfast included so we enjoyed a lot it. Good quality but for so many days, it should be nice a change in the menu. Anyway was excellent. The young waiters were very nice and careful in any aspect. Sunset time on the beach is outstanding although we realised that next to us the property was often fully booked and our property not so crowded. We tried both and we suggest to improve the organisation and the quality of the sunset happy hour drink to reach the same level. The guys are good but look they need a guide. Probably is missing a coordinator and better drinks solutions under our point of view. Anyway for all the rest, everything was very good and we strongly recommend the resort. Good guys, good job. 

Our room was in the jungle house, which was a little.further than I anticipated when booking, but actually turned out to be amazing. Quiet, beautiful location. Spacious room with a wonderful view. Friendly and helpful staff. Close enough to walk to the action around Sairee Beach. They also.provided a shuttle buggy to/from the beach. Would definitely stay again.

It's a lovely hotel, great location and very helpful staff. We paid extra for a villa, but sadly right behind there was construction even moving materials by crane over the villa. Then in the sea they have an electrical cable laying operation, which is ok but blocks the untouched sea view and during the night they have huge lights that beam straight to the resort. 这是一个可爱的酒店，地理位置优越，工作人员非常乐于助人。我们为一栋别墅支付了额外的费用，但遗憾的是，后面是建筑，甚至用起重机在别墅上移动材料。然后在海里，他们进行了电缆铺设操作，这没关系，但挡住了未受破坏的海景，在夜间，他们有巨大的灯光，直接照射到度假村。

Great villa, so peaceful and quiet but just a short ride away from the action. They give you a private phone to call and they can take you round the island (as part of the package) and answer your questions and help with anything you need. Food delivery options were amazing so even though you’re not super close to restaurants they can bring it to you. Clean with everything you need, coffee machine, microwave all kitchen utensils. They even left some beers in the fridge for us to drink :) thank you!

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay here. The location of the hotel is amazing, on the beach along a very busy ***** of restaurants and beach bars which was great. However, the hotel itself was sadly a let down. The hotel keep whistling birds in cages just outside the hotel rooms so expect to be woken at all hours by birds whistling louder than we could believe. The room we were in was very basic to the point where the only plug socket was by the front door, so to dry my hair I had to stand at the front door with no mirror or chair… The shower was a fixed height (very low) so my partner had to be on his knees to wash his hair and I had to bend significantly despite not being very tall. The room was very dark with basically no natural light at all throughout the day. The bedding was just a thick blanket, that I imagine isn’t washed between guests, in between two loose sheets so the blanket kept coming out of the sheets. The toilet was very temperamental and wouldn’t always flush properly. One positive is that the air con was strong however to circulate the air we also had the fan on and this made an annoying screeching noise when it turned to a certain point, which again, woke us up during the night. We didn’t have breakfast because we had a look at what was on offer and decided to go elsewhere as there are lots of nice local places to eat. The staff also weren’t the most pleasant and even got our dates confused when we checked in. Sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
