Les lieux sont très agréables, en bord de mer, avec un restaurant / bar qui fourni des boissons et repas très succulents. Nous avons adoré ce lieu. La chambre triple était également très agréable et nous avons bien dormi.

Superbe.
Très calme, parfait pour séjourner quelques jours avant Bangkok la bouillonante.

Le personnel est aux petits soins, et d'une gentilesse remarquable, notamment le jeune homme qui parle francais.

Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

The Baan Manali is an excellent resort for the price. It's on a lovely stretch of beach, they serve up amazing food and drinks, wifi is excellent and staff are very friendly.

The rooms are a bit dated, but this adds to the charm of the resort. You won't find many good restaurants nearby, but this is the case in most areas and a scooter hire is almost essential in Koh Phangan if you want to explore the island and restaurants.

This was the last of our stays after visiting four different islands in Thailand. This property was beautifully maintained with great views and pool right on the ocean. It lacked the arrogance and pretense of other beautiful resorts and felt entirely comfortable and welcoming. I will be back!

A few days in paradise

Wonderful hotel, we had a room right on the sea front with a patio with chairs and a hammock.
Room was a good size and bed very comfy, good air con and a decent size shower room.
Amazing views , right on the beach .
Lovely restaurant, good quality food. Had breakfast every day especially recommend the Thai eggs in tomato sauce.
Friendly helpful staff.
Only slight criticism was that we wish the restaurant was open for evening meals post 18:30

It seemed like a campsite. Checkin was at the restaurant which was kids running around screaming EVERYWHERE. Room wasn’t ready so we waited a few hours and ate. Food I will say was delicious!! It’s on the water - or lack there of. More mud and not a pretty sight. Our room was in the very back and no one offered to help with our bags. Then it was up maybe 20 stairs. Hot. Room was basic. A cat came in and wouldn’t leave the room. We stayed for 15 minutes and went to check out. Moved to another hotel which was great. Sea Flower. Right on the actual water and had an actual hotel feel to it. This camp seemed to have a certain clientele and we weren’t it. I’m not sure who gave them so many stars. Bummed I lost all my money for the entire stay but in order to not hate Ko Phangan we had to change.

Great Place to Stay near Thong Sala Pier

This is a beautiful and very relaxing place along the water, not far from the Thong Sala pier. It's run by a wonderful couple, who were very helpful during my stay. The rooms are particularly comfortable and quiet. I slept very well. The breakfasts are excellent. I particularly recommend the French toast served with fresh fruit. They make their own breads, and they're excellent. The food is very healthy, and the resort is environmentally conscious. There's a good variety of restaurants in the town nearby. It's also close to Thai Immigration, so, if you're going to the immigration office, this would be a great place to stay. There's a pool. Not really big enough for lap swimming but great for kids. The wifi works great.

Small paradise

We truly loved the garden of the hotel and the pool that are maintained with great care. The restaurant served a very good quality food and had very relaxing atmosphere. The air condition in the first room we got was not working very well. Next two nights we spend in superior room with partial sea view, this room was superb and air condition was good.

Lovely and clean bungalow however it's a bit far from town and there's nothing going on there. No music or atmosphere in the evenings. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of town but would like to enjoy a few drinks it's not really an option here

Absolutely recommended. This is a gorgeous place to stay. Close enough to walk down to the markets and bars but you still feel like you are in a secluded little paradise. The pool is awesome.

Rooms are very well kept and maintained. The only issue I had was with the use of perfumes to avoid the “natural” smell the island sometimes has (to put it delicately). The room had a scented deodorizer, scented oils in the bathroom and most strongly- the bedding had a heavy fabric softener smell to it. I’d rather have the occasional whiff of unpleasantness than have the perfume smell in the room.

Brought free taster drinks to the pool which was great. Food was great! Good privacy in the room. Only down side is there is not much around so you stay at the hotel all day.

Very good rooms with neat and clean bathroom. A private cottage for all the guests. Resort located a walking distance from the Thong Sala Pier. However, with loads of baggage, u would still require a cab. Welcome drink served.

The location of the resort was a disappointment as it was not so beautiful as it seems to be in the photograph available online. At the same price, better resorts are available at much better location where most of the full moon parties happen(rin beach), though far from the pier. However, for people who want to be away from the loud music and want to relax, will find this an idle location.

The restaurant do not accept payment by card so you need to have sufficient cash to do your food bills.

Otherwise, the staff was very helpful and polite. A good stay overall.

Great location & staff!!

During our time at Baan Manali, we truly loved everything about our stay! We stayed in room 3 for two nights & loved the proximity to town, including the night market, so extended our stay & also stayed in room 13 and both were wonderful rooms with comfy beds, mosquito nets, AC, and warm showers! Room 3 has a view of the garden, pool, and beach and both are easy to access the restaurant, free water machine, and the pool/beach. We also rented a kayak for only 100baht and had a great time kayaking to a nearby lagoon. It was great weather while we were there, so we were also able to walk, yes walk, through the water (about waist deep) and reach a small land mass near the hotel and enjoy the views, sand, shells, etc. We absolutely loved Jim at the front desk! He made sure we were well cared for and also mixed up great drinks for us at happy hour. The owners were cheerful and lovely. Overall, I’d say this is a must stay on Ko Pahngan! A short walk toward town and you can rent great motorbikes from Pai motorbike rentals as well. The owners there are very sweet and run a very respectable business. The last night it was raining and the husband was able to taxi us to our second hotel on the island. If Baan manali wasn’t sold out, we wouldn’t have stayed further away. All in all, stay here!! It’s worth it all. -Kristal & Andrew from Arizona.

So gracious and hospitable

The service and care was outstanding. You are just a couple minutes from the main strip of town. Enjoy the bustling day and night life in town then come home to a private serene bungalow on the beach. The sunset view from the beach is breathtaking, which can be enjoyed from the beach, pool, or restaurant. When in Koh Phangan stay at Baan Manali and you will have a fabulous time!

A really restful resort

The Baan Manali Resort is a lovely eco complex nestling in what I can only describe as reclaimed jungle on the outskirts of Phanthip Koh Pangan. The resort is basically 15 small bungalows a reception/restaurant/bar, infinity pool a beach and a sea view to die for. If you want peace and tranquility then this is the place to come. The chalets are all tastefully constructed to blend in with the surroundings, all have glass sliding doors that open onto either the garden or beachfront - which I dare say is the more expensive option. The beach is very private and the sea very inviting. If you’re feeling energetic you can hire a canoe or paddle board and take a trip round the small island a few hundred meters away - or just relax. The owners are French and the breakfasts reflect French tastes and standards. We enjoyed our stay there and would not hesitate to recommend this as a great place to stay. By the way; the sunsets are amazing.

Good hotel for a reasonable price

Cheap and cheerful compared to other hotels we stayed in. The rooms were a good size and were clean.

Staff were friendly and welcoming.

If you can, try and request a bungalow that is overlooking the beach as oppose to a garden view as it's a bit nicer.

The shower was poor which often struggled to keep temperature and pressure.

The bed was really hard.

The WIFI was extremely poor.

Overall it was an okay hotel for a short stay. I would stay here again as it was good value for what we paid for the length of time.

Just a stay

Only thing good is hotel is near the town.
My room... 3rd row small bungalow. Yeah, its cheaper, but it's far behind other rooms. So dark during the night as there is no light along the path.
The hotel is hard to find with only a small sign and the rocky roads. It's very dark at night.
Terrible low water pressure for the shower, and reception was close and no assistant could be get.
The basin in the kitchen was clog.
There are still some hairs on the bed when checked in.
The beach is awful (expected) and the swimming pool is small, seems everyone is using the pool to wash and soak their feet only.

Great location and staff

The location is fantastic. Very easy to access all of the locations on the west coast due to its central location which is walking distance from the ferry terminal. Despite its close proximity it has its own beach access in a very quiet and relaxed location. The rooms are comfortable and well priced. Staff and owners in particular are fantastic. Restaurant provided outstanding food. Overall great value accommodation.

On the beach!!

Baan Manali was a great little place to stay. Breakfast was delicious, beer is cheap. Overall cleanliness was also quite good. Rooms are small but nice. The little private cabins were great to stay in. The location of the resort is great right by the beach. About a 10min walk gets you into the town where the shopping is. I'd say about 20 minutes walk to the pier where the ferry comes in. Definitely not a cheap place for Thailand but definitely a wonderful little spot. Recommended for sure.

Mökkejä ympäri pihaa. Paljon puuta joten huoneet pimeät. Tästä johtuen joka paikassa sääskiä, käytä myrkkyä.
Aamupala ei kuulunut hintaan, listalta sai tilattua.
Uima-allas yllättävän syvä, ei ruuhkaa.

Fina och trevliga bungalows med bra AC, uppförda med minimal insyn. Poolen är sval och skön, stranden är dock extremt långgrund särskilt under lågvatten. Att gå en kilometer in till byn i hettan är dock jobbigare än vad man kan tro - cyklar och mopeder kan dock hyras några hundra meter från hotellet vilket underlättar om man alls vill ta sig runt i området.

Leider haben wir hier von der thailändischen Gastfreundlichkeit und Herzlichkeit, welche wir auf unserer Thailandrundreise in so vielen Hotels erleben durften, nicht viel mitbekommen.

Der Check-In war nicht gerade freundlich. Die Zimmer machen einen guten ersten Eindruck, welcher aber schnell nachlässt, sobald man sich genauer umsieht.

Als wir am zweiten Tag abends nach einem Ausflug in die Unterkunft zurück kamen, haben wir gemerkt, dass unser Zimmer vergessen wurde zu reinigen.
So etwas darf nicht passieren, wenn wir für thailändische Verhältnisse viel Geld für eine Unterkunft ausgeben.
Nach Beschwerde an der Rezeption kamen die Zimmermmädchen zwar schnell, reinigten aber nur oberflächlich und vergaßen den Wechsel der Handdtücher.

Die französischen Besitzer geben sich wirklich Mühe, aber leider ist die Motivation bei den Angestellten nicht angekommen.
