Hotels near Ban Tai Beach, Koh Phangan

We had a wonderful stay at Kupu Kupu Phangan and can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and very well-maintained—ideal for relaxation and well-being. A very special thank you goes to the fantastic team, especially Bank, AD, Micky, San, Aek, Lin, Ziny, Nonoe, and Foam. Everyone was always warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. We were particularly touched by the loving and patient way our son was treated. As a family, we felt welcome from the very first moment. We would love to return and wholeheartedly recommend Kupu Kupu Phangan.

A hotel that captivated us! A heavenly place – for me, everything about this vacation and hotel was perfect. We stayed in 6 hotels during our trip, and I give this one first place. Beach The beach is truly a paradise, the most picturesque on Koh Phangan (we visited all the tourist beaches). The sea is ideal, clear, and calm. Grounds and Accommodation The hotel grounds are extensive, like stepping into a jungle. We rented a large two-story house, and when we opened the door, we were amazed by its spaciousness. The hotel is older, but it's meticulously maintained and renovated. Dining Breakfasts are varied and delicious, served on a veranda with a beautiful view, which makes mornings especially pleasant. Activities and Sports The hotel has a large gym, and regular yoga and stretching classes are held, which helps you completely relax and rejuvenate. Staff and Service The staff and service are 5-star+. When we left, I couldn't hold back tears – that's how wonderful and heartfelt it was. Thank you My thanks to the management, staff, and everyone involved in creating this little slice of heaven. We grounded ourselves, immersed ourselves in nature, and truly rested. Until we meet again!

We chose a hotel for a holiday with children and rented a motorbike to go to the nearby beaches. The location is excellent; we visited at low tide, but regretted it. Next time, only at high tide. You can swim, but it's shallow at low tide, approximately 70 cm deep, and 40 cm at low tide. But since we went to the neighboring beach, it was just as shallow there.

A wonderful beach hotel! The grounds aren't huge, but they're very green and well-maintained. The bungalows are super cozy and charming. From any bungalow, it's no more than a 1-minute walk to the beach. There's a restaurant on-site serving both European and Thai cuisine. For breakfast, I even found oatmeal with mango! The beach is beautiful and long enough for a nice stroll. The sand is incredibly soft and fine. It does get a bit shallow at low tide. There's a Seven-Eleven about a 7-minute walk from the hotel along the main road.

The hotel is very clean and beautiful; it was a truly wonderful stay. In my seventeen years of traveling to Thailand, I haven't found a nicer hotel. I will gladly book it again and again. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇹🇭♥️♥️♥️♥️

Best hotel I've ever stayed at in my life! Don't hesitate for a second! How can I put it, everything is perfect! I've stayed there twice: the first time in a triple room, which was superb, and the second time in an economy room (the cheapest). The bed wasn't super comfortable, but I just opened the door and I was at the pool. It's not a huge hotel, so it's never overbooked! But there are enough people to create a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is really, really good; I highly recommend the 'pad kra pao' with pork! The staff are incredibly kind! You can even rent scooters at the front desk, and the owner provides information on absolutely all possible activities to do on the island. He'll book everything for you, whether it's taxis, activities, ferries, festivals, Muay Thai fights, and most importantly, he doesn't rip you off at all on prices. We checked online every time, and there were zero scams. They are truly darlings! What more can I say about the pool? It's magnificent, with breathtaking sunset views, and with the beach right in front, you can borrow paddles and kayaks for free. The ONLY drawback of this hotel is that it's not in the city center, but there's not really much point in going to the city center anyway. Just go to the festivals for fun and stay at the hotel the rest of the time. And if you do want to go to the city center or visit other beaches, you can rent scooters.

”Spectacular views, shame about everything else” Venus on Koh Phangan is the definition of a mixed bag—and unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positives here. Let's start with what works: the view is absolutely stunning. Perched overlooking the water, it's genuinely breathtaking and exactly what you'd hope for when booking an island getaway. If you're someone who can sit on a balcony and stare at the sea for hours, you'll get that here. The problem is you'll have to stare at it from a very tired room. The accommodation is old and frankly, dying for a renovation. Everything feels dated and worn—furniture, fittings, decor—like stepping back in time but not in a charming way. It's functional at best. The location compounds the issues. It's terrible—nothing around at all, and almost inaccessible by foot. You'll absolutely need your own transportation (scooter or taxi) just to get to a restaurant or convenience store. If you're without wheels, you're stranded. Overall, Venus trades entirely on its view, but neglects everything else. If you prioritize scenery above all and have your own transport, maybe. Otherwise, look for somewhere that puts equal effort into the actual accommodation and location.

What a beautiful hotel set in the most glorious location. Can’t fault anything. We will be back

We were happy with our stay and enjoyed the resort and their food. Most reviews indicate that the hotel needs some renovation which is true, though it still has its charm and remains a great resort. Food is pricey but in our opinion was very good every day. The Thai cuisine is great for lunch/dinner throughout the day. Breakfast was decent and the “eggs on demand” are of good added value. Staff was friendly.

The place has great views with great service & very clean. The problem is its positioning & lack of trees. On the side of a hill it faces the hot sun all day & with no tree protection is melting every afternoon. The pool was green & murky when I stayed.
