Phayamas Private Beach Resort and Island Brew - Adults Only

Good place good service

Very clean and very helpful. Accommodated letting me stay a day longer due to missing the boat. Friendly staff

A beautiful, well kept resort . Comfortable room, great staff. Very impressive , with the , free reusable water bottle and cold refill water in resort . Not to mention the great cider and beer on tap . Best food, I’ve tasted in many years. Great hosts . All possible because of a hard working team.

We spent three days here in a deluxe bungalow, ate twice in the evening as well as breakfasts and rented a scooter. An enquiry about the grades of bungalow was answered promptly and the transfer arrangements perfect. The bungalow was great and the general environment very nice indeed. Nice pool and the beach is fine for a stroll. Scooter rental also easy. So all in all a very nice place to stay; we enjoyed it and the accommodation provided a relaxing and stress free residence for the three days spent on the island. My problem was the food as although breakfast was good other meals were not up to much. Apart from a dish of aubergine chips which were amazing the dishes were basic and uninspiring. Okay, it’s a restaurant on a small laidback island but I would rather eat elsewhere where dishes were interesting and tasty even if fairly basic. A fish of the day dish (same fish on each day we were there) was well cooked but I didn’t finish it and the accompanying vegetables just bland. The restaurant shuts at 9pm which is fine but so too does the bar. You could buy a drink to keep you going but they just turn all the lights off when the staff leave. Come on, someone must be able to turn the lights off when the customers have gone to bed. And, no red wine! They sell white but not red? I have given the place a score of 3 which is called Average by TA and that’s a bit hard but a score of 4 is Very Good and it wasn’t that. It was good, I was glad to stay there and if I ever went to Phayama again would probable stay there again. But you will find much better food easily elsewhere.

Phayamas is my favorite resort on the island. The owners, KT and Taey, and the whole team are always so welcoming! The rooms are spacious and clean and the food is delicious. Best part? Having one of their craft beers while floating in the pool listening to the sun aves crash on the beach below…paradise.

We loved the tranquility of the resort and could imagine staying much longer if we had had the time! (We’ll come back!). Its nicely laid-out garden, scattered with spacious bungalows with attached bathrooms, swimming pool, and a short pathway down to a private beach without other tourists, is the perfect place to wind down. Couple that with a restaurant serving freshly caught seafood, which Katie, the owner, went to catch herself earlier that day, and… their own craft Phayamas pale ale (!) and it’s like a little paradise away from home. Even though it’s tucked away from the main road, it’s easy enough to rent a motorcycle and reach other spots on the islands within 10 minutes to catch the sunset, for example.
