Home away from home
Pros:

This hotel feels more like a home away from home than a hotel. The staff are very kind. The resort is very loved and taken care of and they have beautiful cats that they really take care of. The cats actually have their own room, air condition with food and They are so loved. It's beautiful to see.

Cons:

We did get the water bungalows please keep in mind that if you have any sort of disability or injury, it is very hard because there's a lot of stairs and not easily accessible. However, keep in mind that is the case in most of the hotels and bars on this island. The pool is quite warm but that is the condition of the climate since it is outdoors. You also will notice that there is no beachfront but not to worry once you get all the way down to the beach. If you look to your left you will see there are sandbanks where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful sea

Liebevolles Hotel
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück (Menü) sehr lecker und reichlich.
Die Anlage generell sehr schön.

Wir haben auch jeden Abend im Hotel gegessen, weil es einfach Mega lecker war.

Cons:

Der direkt vorgelagerte Strand ist steinig und voller Müll. Man kann von dort aus nicht ins Wasser oder gar schwimmen. Die nebenliegenden Strände sind aber gut zu erreichen und sehr schön.

Die Anlage wird gerade renoviert. Das hat sie auch nötig.

My stay was great! I would definitely come back again.
Pros:

I liked the location. It was easy to walk to the nearby shops and restaurants. The staff were very attentive and made my birthday feel special. The room was exactly as listed online and the AC is nice and strong!

Cons:

One small gripe was that the shower head wasn’t properly affixed to the wall so I had to hold it to wash myself.

Overall, the level of service and the whole experience were truly exceptional. 🧡
Pros:

The entire staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming from the very first moment. Everything felt very relaxed, yet perfectly organized at the same time.

We especially loved the welcome drink, the amazing breakfast with high-quality à la carte dishes, and the incredible happy hour in the evening with delicious cocktails and a beautiful sunset view. Another lovely touch was that the hotel provided us with beach towels, a mat, and even a basket to take with us for the day.

I already miss Koh Phangan!
Pros:

The bungalow in Zama hotel was amazing. It was clean, spacious, with view to the sea. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was not noisy at all.

The service was great, both from the hotel and restaurant personnel. The a la carte breakfast (included) was very delicious. We tried the food in the restaurant for dinner twice and we would recommend it, both from food options/quality and for the romantic ambience/scenery. Everyone was so polite, cheerful, helpful and accommodating.

The pool was clean and had an amazing view of sunset.
The beach under the hotel was nice for sunbathing, but not so much for swimming (too shallow), but it is a short shoreline walk from the Secret beach and Zen beach.

You can rent a bike in the parking lot of the hotel at a very good price.
