Relaxed backpacker destination

Super chill place, catering to the backpacker and lively crowd, but calm and saw many older folks relaxing as well. Staff awesome, very helpful and kind. Budget luxury, in my opinion, but I spend a lot of time camping. Still, everything you could need here, great food, cheap strong drinks and walkable to night and day markets.

The resort was in a very convenient location right on the beach. The staff were friendly and the food / bar was good. I would absolutely stay again. The only downside is the water wasn’t working on the morning we left which meant no showers before a long day of traveling. Friends who checked out later than us said it was sorted out reasonably quickly though.

2nd cost still an awesome place!

I love this place, it was my second visit and in total I have spent over 14 nights here so I can give a broad review. I first came here in 2016 in the summer and loved it. Great pool, epic view, great hostess getting people to play ping pong etc.

That was three years ago, it's changed a bit now the beach bar is gone but they moved it inside. I think the pound is hurting this place as it's prices hasn't changed to reflect this and to be honest I don't blame them.

I ordered a large leo and it came to £4.27!

That aside, it was low season so not too busy.

The room was clean, the TV didn't have any reception but who cares, the shower worked, the toilet flushed.

It's not the Ritz, I think some people think for less than £20 a night they're getting the best.

The bed was comfy, the Aircon was good, the WiFi useless unless you're in the resturant. If this isn't for you then there is an AIS shop selling Sims about 100m away....

The food here was excellent.

In short I will come here again. When I don't know :)

I think the only good thing about this hotel is location, it is situated right at the beach & near the pier(10min walk). The Room ( Istayed at the Soda Room=Standard Bungalow) was very poor, smelly & tiny, just enough place to put luggage & walk to the bathroom. The fan was very loud & wasn't swinging, which wasn't helpful to keep the mosquitoes away. Check-out time is 10:30am! which I find a little to early especially when you on holidays. Breakfast was standard, however not buffet. Nice resort but needs lots of improvement.

Convenient location, good pool area

The room we stayed in was surprisingly very clean for the bungalow type of accommodation. The location is super convenient for the ones who want to be closer to pier. It's only 10 min walk to the pier, few minutes to local food court and right by the beach. If you want to explore the island - rent a bike. (We have rented it from the hotel with no problems)

We enjoyed pool area a lot, the pool chairs though are quite old, most of them are broken and uncomfortable.

Breakfast is ok, delicious but very limited choice. We almost never had wifi connection in the room, so we stayed often by the restaurant or pool area. Food in the restaurant is overpriced, so I would not recommend. Reception arranged boat tickets to koh samui for us, so do not hesitate to ask. Remember to ask from the hotel in advance the transfer from the pier to the hotel. Just tell them time when you arrive.

Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

friendliest place on the island

The staff at the lime and soda we're very warm and welcoming. They had organised events most nights so the guests would mingle.

I spent a total of 9 nights here partly cause its friendly and partly cause I was sick of the prices of taxis to go anywhere else!

its about a 10 min walk from the shops and pier, other than that no complaints.

Budget jungle huts!

On arrival we were greeted with a lovely lime and soda drink which was a great first impression.

Taken to our hut through the jungle and talk about no thrills. There was a gap under the door so bugs could get into your hut at any time. The bathroom was more of a wet tiled room. Bed was comfortable but the hut was very basic, no where to even place your clothes.

Good for a hostel, but I have heard a lot of the places in koh panghan are like this so guess it's good for one night!

This place really went downhill....

I must say that lime n soda have had a dramatic decrease in authenticity and quality. I last went there in february and it was great, I had no complaints! I'm not sure if the place is under new management or something now but some of the small details that helped me enjoy the place were removed in my most recent stay, for example.

1. The Outdoor BBQ
They used to provide an outdoor fresh BBQ at night where you can have fresh meat cooked for you, this was removed.

2. The Wifi
It advertises Free Wifi and it doesn't work at all, we had to spend money on 3g/4g tethering hotspots.

3. Limited Food Menu
On our first visit the menu had a variety of food including being able to order pizzas and jugs of your favorite drink at a slightly cheaper price, they removed the feature of being able to order jugs. Additionally they didn't even know how to make their most branded drink properly which is lime soda.

4. The Mosquitos
This isn't really a problem with the resort I guess but they could at least try to fend off the mossys, the place is absolutely infested with them, It makes you just want to stay inside. (Mossy spray just doesn't work in this place)

I only have time to write the things that made my stay unpleasant this time round but if you are an economy travel or perhaps a digital nomad this place is great considering you have your own form of internet connectivity.

Nice place but rude and insulting staff

A clean bungalow at a good price. SOME staff were very rude. Check out was 10:30. Cold water showers and no mosquito screens on some windows. Glass slat windows don't look secure. Lockers for valuables have padlocks. I assume staff have spare keys.
Thais are always telling foreigners how to act, so I thought I would provide a few tips for dealing with foreign guests:
1. Don't interrupt us when we are speaking. It's rude.
2. Don't lose your temper if someone asks you to repeat something. You may think your English is perfect, but if you are not a native speaker, you could be wrong about that.
3. NEVER rip something out of someone's hands. This is extremely disrespectful and insulting, and it is no way to relate to an adult.
4. Don't stand over a customer and look bored while he is reading a menu. He is not wasting your time; he is paying your salary.
5. Stop telling us what to do all the time. We are not children. No outside food or drinks in bungalows? Are you kidding?
6. Try to remember that hotel guests are on holidays and want to enjoy themselves. You should be polite to them simply because they are paying guests.
7. Remember that your hotel is going to be reviewed on the internet.

Nice Hotel Far from FullMoon Party Beach

Hotel is nice and quiet. Very close to pier. But if you would like to party it is very far away from the beach. We rented a motorbike but the road is very long and dangerous. I wouldnt recommend using it at night esp when drunk. A lot of accidents happen at the road and everyone calls the scars as fullmoon scars.
There are better facilities at the fullmoon pary beach but none of them are on expedia because the owners dont want to.

A good place to land on your first night

Lime and Soda is conveniently located close to the pier. Its certainly a good place to get settled after a long journey into the island. One must inspect the rooms carefully on arrival as there are several fees associated with damages and you can be subjected to them unless you point them out to the concierge right away ( this includes stained sheets specially). Must people can easily indicate you how to get there since its only a few minutes walk from the Pier. Staff are friendly though service and dining are below average. The maids will enter the room when you have the non-disturbing sign hanging on the door.

The room I stayed was pretty dark, with no view and one wooden window but no net. The small bathroom had a rain shower over the sink and toilet, I got the fan version since I don't like AC and it was ok.

The tie is very low during the summer months so expect to take a trip to the north side of the Island if you wish to go swimming.

Overall this is a good place to land and get a nights sleep if you're heading to Bottle Beach and surroundings ( you must btw) but only a 10 min. walk from there at \"Tropicana\", you can rent a bungalow right on the beach with a beautiful view, in-room fridge and a huge fan for the same price.

All you need for a few days

This hotel/resort was a lovely way to end our stay. It was exceptionally inexpensive for being beachside and had a pool, restaurant, bar and other entertainment. For the end of our trip it was exactly what we needed. Rooms were clean, the food was decent and we were there in the off season so it wasn't too loud with rowdy twenty-somethings. I'm sure it gets pretty crazy during the full moon party though. The only issue I had was that wifi practically never worked no matter how many times I asked it to be fixed and if you are looking for a beach with waves and deep water look somewhere else. This beach is very shallow with a sandbar- neat to walk out to.

Great Location!

We booked Lime n Soda for our stay on Ko Phangan. The hotel came and picked us up from the pier for free which was very nice. Once we arrived to the hotel we were able to check in early another great aspect for us. We booked a standard room with a fan. The first room they put us in was fine but shortly after being in the room the electricity would not work. We waited outside while they tried to fix it but no luck. We were moved into another bungalow type room. This room in my opinion wasn’t as nice as the other but at least the fan worked. The previous room also had a mosquito net for the bed so we asked if we could take it from the room and put it in our new room because there was not one inside. The hotel staff agreed so we were fine.

We ate lunch at the hotel and the next morning ate breakfast but after glancing over the prices and walking to town we found better options that were much cheaper. The food was good at the hotel but a little pricey for us. If you get a chance go to the Street Market it is located down from Tesco and you can get some really good deals on food. 40 THB for Chicken Pad Thai that tasted amazing! You can’t beat that price! Also, there was a Walking Street Market on Saturday closer to the hotel located in town. This is really fun to experience so I recommend going if you are there on a Saturday.

You really do not need to rent a bike if you are only exploring the town nearest to the hotel. However, we decided to explore more of Ko Phangan and rented a bike. We checked with the hotel since they offer bike rentals but they required to hold passport and if you didn’t want them to take your passport it was a 15,000 THB deposit (YIKES). We did some research and found this place called Kate Rentals located in town. We walked to this place from the hotel and found we could leave a drivers license and only a 5,000 THB deposit. You can’t beat that! We took pictures of the bike to be on the safe side but honestly, these guys don’t seem the kind to cheat you over small scratches. When it came to return our bike no problem they glanced over the bike and returned everything. I would recommend renting from this company!

The pool at Lime n Soda was nice however, the beach was not so nice. We maybe went there once but never actually got in the water and there wasn’t much sand. Better to stick with the pool and rent a bike to travel to some of the other beaches on the island. Overall, it was a nice time at Lime n Soda. Fan rooms are okay they do keep the room a bit sticky but there isn’t much to do if you choose a fan room.

We Love You Koko

There is one very good reason to stay here, and that is Mr. Koko. Don't know what his title actually is, but he seem to fill the role of entertainment co-ordinator/guide. He was an absolute blast. Took us on a mini-tour of stuff to do on the island, come out to a couple of the big parties and helped look after us, and hooked us up with a travel agent that didn't rip us off. Pool was nice(beach not so much, but its a nice view), restaurant was decent. Literally a 5 min walk from the ferry, but not so easy to find we had to ask a couple people(both google and the hotel website were no use at all). Only two downsides: 1) the \"shower\" sucked, worse than what you would find in an RV. 2) All the walkways are sand, so your hut and bed inevitably end of full of sand, and maid service is by request only. Overall highly recommend, but make sure you get an A/C hut.

Great location, price and amenities

During our trip to Koh Phangan we decided to change things up and stay closer into town near the ferry landing. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Lime n Soda that the location was right on the water, beautiful views of the ocean and easy ride right into town. This resort is a great place to meet people from all over the world, chill yet still have fun right at your finger tips and is a safe, clean place to stay. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a casual, fun, safe, clean resort close to the ferry and ocean. If you're traveling to Koh Phangan for the Full-Moon party, this resort is located about 30 mins from the party. They provide a shuttle for guests ( a small fee) that drops and picks you up at the Full Moon location.

Ok - Cleaning staff needs improvement

My stay was ok. The beach area is ok, but the water area can be rocky and the sandy beach area is quite small, not sure because of erosion or what. Food is good, but a bit pricey at 20 baht just for a cup of white rice with your meal. My biggest complaint is having to constantly ASK someone to clean your room. DO NOT expect that they will do this automatically. Once I realized that even having the \"clean room please\" hanger on the door did not mean anything after being gone for 5 hours, I still had to ask someone to clean the room.

Very good value - it's as nice a place as it looks from the pictures, but for a low price. The restaurant serves reasonably good food (I wished that they had more Thai selection). The bungalows are fine - for me, the bed and pillows were uncomfortable, but I'm very picky. The beach and the pool areas are comfortable to hang out in (the pool is clean).

The only truly negative point was the noise at night... impossible to sleep before 12, 1 and sometimes 2 am (not on full moon days)... the music from the bar and restaurant (different music from the two also) would actually get *louder* after 11 pm... then the ping pong tables late into the night... as well as the endless bikes coming and going.

Absolute bargain right on the beach

We paid £10/night for a little beach hut - you get what you pay for, but the room was clean, had tv and aircon. The pool, restaurant and staff were all great. Thong Sala is not the nicest town and has limited restaurants, so this hotel location is all about chilling on the beach (not dining out or partying).

Good mid-low range resort

Good mid-low range resort, good rooms, the beach alitle shallow, close to tong Salla but if your a party guy, not much to do there.

Relaxed resort

spent 3 nights there. about a 8 min walk to pier which is convenient. not much else in area. The resorts communal areas including pool etc of a very high standard. Bathroom in bungalow not the greatest but overall good value for money. Would recommend for a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were helpful and friendly

Great value for small money

You should not expect to get a jackpot, if the daily rate is ridicilously low, but here it is almost possible. We spent first nights in a/c bungalow Lime4, which is next to the bar, and hearing all the rnb-mixes over and over again unti midnight for sure drives you either a) crazy or b) to bar. Bungalows a bit further away are fine. Food in restaurant is far more better than one could expect, however visiting the Beachlounge next on the beach towards Thongsala is a step closer to culinaristic heaven.

Amazing and highly recommended budget beach resort

We had such a great time when we stayed here. The rooms are basic but the facilities and staff are first class and all you need for a relaxing stay on Koh Pha Ngan. Happy hour at the bar was a highlight of the day, staff are friendly and approachable, and the resort is kept immaculately clean and well presented.

A little bit of Paradise.

In a few short weeks, the new manager has worked wonders. He relates well every day with guests and staff. He is very visible, available, helpful, and always ready for a laugh.
The very attentive staff are happy in their work, singing, joking, communicating, smiling and making it a joy for all to be there. The rooms are extremely basic but clean. The huge, thatched, open-air restaurant serves great meals (we dined in for every meal), and has a wonderful outlook over the pool and coconut palms to the ocean. Sunset dining under the palms is soothing. The masseuse is excellent.
The surrounding area was not appealing to us but we really didn't want to leave the resort.

On the beach with a pool and close to town.

Excellent value overall. Pool, beach, and great location. In the restaurant the food and service was excellent and they ALWAYS made me feel welcome. The food prices were reasonable for a place right on the beach with wonderful ambiance. Some nights there is even a band on the beach. Nice bar on the beach next to the pool.

One minor drawback is there are no umbrellas for shade from the sun around the pool. Also, no one will come clean the room unless you go find the maids and ask them to clean the room. After 3 days of no maid service I finally had to go ask if someone could come clean because I needed fresh towels and the waste baskets emptied.

Internet is spotty but this may have more to do with the island than the hotel.
Take a taxi to the hotel because it is too hot and humid to be carrying luggage searching around for the hotel.

Overall excellent.

Best service I've had in a long time

When it comes to the rooms they are okay, but nothing more. However since it's so cheap this is only to be expected. The location is not perfect either but if you rent a scooter, which you can do at the hotel, this is no problem at all. The staff of the hotel is what makes this a visit worth it's while. Everyone is polite and positive, and they always greet you with a smile. If there's anything you need help with, they are more than happy to help you. This is probably much thanks to the manager who spends most of the day talking to the guest and offering services. Overall a really good atmosphere!

Amazing!

This is by far the best place I stayed at during my trip to Thailand! Value for doesnt begin to describe this place!
The facilities are nice and unassuming. All of the comforts of a modern resort, but with a personal touch! The service was outstanding ( especially when compared to the Thai standard), the food was delicious and affordable and Natasha and her team really make an effort to make it a fun and enjoyable vacation destination! Kudos to Lime N' Soda! I would def stay here again and reccomend to others!

Lime N' Soda - Lots of lime, no fizz!

Very basic, though for the price that was to be expected.
The room was comfortable and clean, but could do with the addition of bug nets on the windows.
The pool and bar area were nice, but be warned there are rooms right next door and it can get loud and busy. The beach front location was also a bonus and mopeds only cost 150b a day. Only a 10 min walk to the ferry terminal. The staff are also very friendly.

I'd come again

You can defiantly find cheaper accommodations, but the cleanness of the place and the ambiance and the friendliness of the staff makes it worth it. This side of the island has low sea water in the rainy season so if you want waves lapping at your feet right outside your bungalow I'd choose a different location. But as I see earlier, the other things make up for it.

Schöne Unterkunft mit direktem Zugang zum Meer. Alternativ ist der Pool nutzbar, von dem man ins Meer schauen kann und den Sonnenuntergang beobachten kann. Etwas ruhiger da in einer Seitenstraße gelegen, aber man ist mit dem Roller sofort überall und zu Fuß erreicht man das Pier innerhalb von 15 Minuten.

Dirty sheets

Our sheets were dirty, like there was a body fluid stain in the sheets. We asked for a replacement which didn't come as a surprise for the staff. When we complained about it, we were offered a free glass of apple juice and nothing else.
Service was poor, we were choked by the lack of reaction to our issue, you need to specifically asked for cleaning. Also check your bill at the end because they tried to overcharge us for minibar food and water.

Bel hôtel à taille humaine composé de petits bungalows récemment rénovés. Emplacement parfait sur la plage. Design naturel. Déjeuner et petit déjeuner les pieds dans le sable.
Seul bémol: Lors de notre arrivée un couple arrivé après nous a demandé à échanger avec le cottage que j’avais en front de mer et pour lequel j’avais payé un supplément. Nos valises étaient même déjà livrées dans la chambre mais nous attendions la fin du nettoyage pour pouvoir nous y installer.
Nous étions au bar et avons assisté à toute la scène de réclamation du couple: Le staff a alors sorti nos valises de notre chambre et allait y installer l’autre couple. Devant ma stupéfaction et le côté malhonnête de cette pratique je suis intervenu pour montrer ma désapprobation. Après plusieurs dizaines de minutes d’attente et de négociations le staff est revenu sur sa décision et nous a laissé profiter de la chambre qui nous était accordée initialement comme prévu.
En dehors de ce désagrément l’hôtel est très joli et bien placé par rapport à la vie de Koh Phangan.

Autant les employés sont agréables, accueillants par contre l’état de la chambre. Je pense tout simplement qu’ils n’ont pas nettoyé avant mon arrivée. Des bêtes mortes au sol, de toiles d’araignées et des bêtes sous l’oreiller. Mais le pire reste la salle de bain ce n’était plus du tartre y avait de l’eau croupi. Plein de poussière et autres trucs sur le sol de la douche. Impossible d’utiliser le lavabo il n’y avait qu’un filet d’eau qui sortait du robinet. Bref j’ai pensé à partir mais avec la full moon peu de dispo et cher.

Бюджетно, но не гостеприимно.

+ шикарные закаты, цены в ресторане (самые бюджетные на этой береговой линии), милые собачки, расположение относительно инфраструктуры
- не приветливый персонал, отвратительная уборка, вонючие полотенца, уборщицы с лицом «я делаю одолжение, что убираю у вас», некоторые официанты в ресторане, которые откровенно не рады тебя видеть, вечно забитая канализация, нет горячей и даже тёплой воды, нереальные армии муравьёв в домике, нет пляжа и грязное море.
