I wouldn't normally stay at a bungalow styled residence like this, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found the room pretty spacious. I would've liked to have a safe. There were some friendly resident cats which was nice to see. The highlight has to be the views from this place. Whether you're at the restaurant, the pool, or any one of the excellent cabins, you get one of the best views on the island. The staff was also very friendly and ready to help with a smile. I had a very smooth stay.

Staff super helpful and friendly. This property is a little far from the city therefore need to take taxis. They do offer free shuttle service to 3 nearby beach and pick up. Limited to 2 restaurants on the property as everything outside property is far. Located in the mountains with breathtaking view but lots of mosquitoes when seated outside at night. Kind hotel staff that offers bugs spray complementary. This property has excellent wifi and offers a shared workspace with offices.

Amazing!

The Phangan Utopia Resort is a fantastic property that you will no doubt be happy you stayed. The rooms have a view that is second to none. My room is on the side of a cliff and you can see the blue water down below. If that was not enough miles of beautiful mountains surround you. There is an outside rain shower and the jacuzzi bathtub is also outside but private. It’s not everyday you can soak in a bathtub outside listening to the birds and watching fish breaking on the blue water below. The staff is as good as it gets. The people are friendly and helpful in every way . I can’t say enough about the wonderful staff. They helped me with my luggage, made breakfast, cooked dinner, tended bar, cleaned my room and even rented me a motor bike. They also told me where to go and how to get around the island while providing me a map. On a personal level we talked and laughed at the 360 bar that they also ran. The 360 bar is 200 meters up from the resort and it is an amazing bar that has the best view on the island and maybe one of the best views in the world. The best I have seen. The sun sets over Thailand and the sky treats you with a different work of art each and every night. When I left, the staff booked my ferry and taxied me to the port. She helped me check in and waited until I was settled. This is one of those experiences that has made my life better. Thank you .

Great, clean modern hotel set ontop of a hill over looking the ocean = great view!! Excellent service from hotel staff. A short 100m walk to lookout/roof top bar which is a magical place to watch the sun set. Surrounded by some of my favorite beaches in Thailand.
Breakfast was all you can eat buffet, good quality.

mediocre room

Avoid room U11. It has a rock garden in the shower/bathroom and therefore it has cockroaches and other bugs crawling in and out of it. Shower spray very weak and bed was uncomfortable. One front staff is fantastic and the other (with glasses) needs to be fired. Beautiful views, good breakfast. Nice pool, but we only went to the beach (via scooter - you need a scooter here, it is not close to anything). We were there for live music at the 360 restaurant and it was excellent. We had to come back for one night and had a better room - no bugs, but bed was still not good. I would look for somewhere else next time.

My favourite hotel in Koh Pha Ngan

I love Utopia so much. They treat me like family. I've been to Ko Pha Ngan 4 times and 3 out of my 4 times I stayed at Utopia, and the one time I didn't I regretted it so much! The resort is very clean, beautiful, has a great pool. It is a little far from the closest 7/11 but there is a free shuttle everyday by the hotel workers that will take you to the 3 popular beaches on Pha Ngan and then you can go to the 7/11 when you're at the beach. If you're looking for central Ko Pha Ngan and want to party and meet people at night then this isn't the place to go as it'll be hard to get home late at night. It is up a hill and taxis stop running early on the island.

A well run resort.

Best value on the island so far. Stayed 6 nights, wished we had booked longer, but they were full. The staff is obviously well trained in customer satisfaction....always friendly and available.
Basic but free breakfast, and shuttle to near beaches makes up for slightly more remote location. Amazing viewpoint evening bar for sunsets. Also great views from restaurant and pool.
Only problem was bathrooms...NO water pressure, only a dribble. Also, the only mirror is in bathroom with very little lighting...needs updating.

Great staff, fantastic views

Great stay from start to finish. Free pick up from the pier (but must pay for return journey Thb200 per person). We were upgraded to a pool view room. Rooms are comfortable and clean with good hot shower and good A/C. Good reasonably priced food and drink. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a free shuttle service to 3 of the local beaches if you decide not to rent a bike and hotel will organise taxis for you. The views from the pool and restaurant are stunning. Wifi in public areas but worked well. Resort is on a hill so not for someone with mobility issues. Would happily stay here again.

won't stay here again, that'd for sure.

The room was very old, maybe over 20 year old and was very dirty there's no basic things like a hairdryer inside.
The water pressure in the shower too weak takes a hour to clean away the shampoo. A lot of animals that nobody takes care of walking around. Some strange voice came from the wooden wall, maybe a rat. And a lot of ants and other things of this sort was traveling there everywhere. Nobody cleaned our room for 4 nights and mostly we was outside. The location is very bad far from evreything, the taxi super expensive starts from 200 baht, you should rent a motorcycle to get anywhere.
The only good thing is the staff were very friendly and the restaurant was good and tasty.
The guests there also was nice mostly couples.

Utopia????

The hotel is in a fabulous setting perched on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean with Koh Samui on the distant horizon. The TV was not as described and instead of an LCD was a very old CRT with only a couple of English speaking channels. There is no WIFI in the room. The staff were very friendly and polite. If it was not for the incredible views I would not be happy to pay more than 1,000 THB...it actually cost 2,100.Breakfast was ok but minimal....so called American consisted of 2 very small American style bacon rashers, two fried eggs and two undercooked pieces of toast. Only stayed 1 night so it was okay for that, but very isolated with little to do locally other than admire the views.

Couples retreat, but not a party place

This place was the perfect resort getaway. The rooms are private and the sea view ones have open bathtubs and showers overlooking the bay which are spectacular. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. It is a long way from the party scene on the island so keep that in mind when booking for the full moon and/or jungle parties and taxi's can be harder to get. Overall its such a nice place, but more suited to a couple than a partygoer.

Нет сушилки для полотенец и купальников а с учетом дождей это необходимость, была влажность высокая и нам пришлось сушить на лежаках у бассейна. Какие-то вещи забыли перед отъездом забрать
Персонал не желает вникать в проблемы.попросили поменять подушку,сказали что нет свободных хотя отель был полупустой
На крыльце вечно было много мусора из-за ветра, не подметали пока не попросишь убрать полностью номер.

Mehr Schein als Sein. Wer Lust auf Gesellschaft von Spinnen und Ratten hat, ist hier genau richtig.

Wir haben spontan für eine Nacht eingecheckt und wurden morgens um 6 Uhr von etwas großem, haarigen, an der Decke Klettertraining absolvierendem Getier (Ratte oder Riesenspinne) geweckt. Als wir wenige Sekunden danach fast nackt auf dem Balkon standen, entdeckten wir weitere Ratten (oder ähnliches) im Dach. Von Hotelpersonal war auf dem gesamten Gelände nichts zu sehen. Lediglich eine Scharr von Hunden, bellten und knurrten uns an.

Auch der Rest der Anlage ist nicht sehr einladend. Im Essensbereich waren noch Reste vom Vorabend, alte Liegen samt verdreckter Auflagen am Pool, vergammelte Bauprojekte, laut quarkende Frösche und kleffende Hunde die gesamte Nacht.

Wir wollten zumindest noch das Frühstück nutzen. Ein kurzer Blick auf den Obstteller ließ uns erschaudern, denn Dreck und Armeisen garnierten die Obstplatte. Die „warmen“ Gerichte waren kalt und auch der Rest des Essens war kein Gaumenschmauss.

Auf die Frage, warum wir so früh abreisen, teilten wir mit, dass wir in der Nacht Besuch einer Ratte hatten. Dies wurde gekonnt ignoriert.

Zwei positive Dinge zum Abschluss: Der Ausblick ist super und unser von Vögeln vollgekoteter Roller wurde gesäubert. Dennoch würden wir hier nie wieder buchen.

Nettes Hotel auf einem Hügel

Insgesamt ein schönes Hotel. Manche Ecken sind etwas lieblos gestaltet oder in Arbeit aber in Summe ganz nett gemacht. Ohne Roller oder Auto ist man allerdings aufgeschmissen.
Die Chefin und das Team der Rezeption waren supernett und hilfsbereit (bei einer Reifenpanne wurden wir abends direkt eingesammelt). Das Team im Restaurant ist träge, aber auch nett. Unser Zimmer U22 hatte einen tollen Blick über die Bucht. Sauberkeit war ok, man darf halt keine 5 Sterne Deluxe Sauberkeit erwarten. Auch Haustiere gab es. Versch. Geckos begrüßten uns in den Abendstunden. Wir fanden das aber eher niedlich als störend.
Der Poolbereich ist nicht riesig, aber für die Anzahl der Gäste, die da waren ausreichend. Netter Barkeeper am Pool.
Das Essen war in Summe lecker.
Morgens ein abwechselndes Frühstücksbüffet und abends a la carte.
Wir würden wieder hinfahren.

Decent stay but could have been much better

A bit far from everything, be prepared to pay a lot for taxi or rent a scooter. i had a poolside room, which was good (except for 2 cockroaches), but the poolside bar was open until midnight playing pumping music so not really ideal for the kind of relaxing i was looking for. The view was nice, pool clean, but also kind of useless because of loud renovations/ shrieking drilling noise from 10am-. Not good for relaxing, day or night. The restaurant staff was really unorganized, i had 5 different people serving me, you can guess the chaos that resulted.. so getting the food took ages. I spent about 2 hours in total in the restaurant, left right after eating, maybe 20mins of that they had a power cut, so you can count the speed of things from that.. mango Shake was great, Panang curry cold when delivered and rice came like 10 min after and was even colder, so i sent it back and had finished the curry without rice before they came with the replacement (another 10-15mins). The curry was also the worst Ive had in thailand. Ate there only once.

Nicht nochmal

Die Bungalows sind recht alt und herunter gekommen, Klimaanlage macht laute Geräusche und tropft im Zimmer. Die Dusche ist für kleine Leute, ich bin 1,68 m groß und habe nicht darunter gepasst, außerdem hat das „Badezimmer“ überall Schimmel.
Rollenverleih vor Ort, leider mussten wir bei der Rückgabe 1300 Baht bezahlen, für zwei Krazer die wir nicht verursacht haben. Transfer zur Full Moon und wieder zurück kann man auch im Hotel buchen, leider standen wir zu 8 am vereinbarten Treffpunkt und keiner hat uns abgeholt. Haben nichts zurück erstattet bekommen.
Das einzig schöne ist die Aussicht beim frühstücken. Jedoch kein direkter Strandzugang und man ist auf einen Roller angewiesen. Außerdem wurde unser Zimmer trotz Schlüsselabgabe nicht gereinigt.
Wir würden nicht nochmal hin.

La chambre est globalement confortable mais la propreté est moyenne. L'eau est coupée la nuit donc pour les toilette mieux vaut ne pas être malade.. La pression de douche est très faible. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est cher. Par contre le petit déjeuné inclut (buffet) est très complet et à volonté! La laundry est également un peu plus cher en passant par l'hôtel.

Is situated on a mountain, so Only the Hotel restaurant to go to at night for dinner. Free shuttle bus to three beaches, good but slightly odd times. The pool is nice, beautiful view. Helpful girls in the reception. Can be slight problems with animals, but if you are lucky you won't see the lizards or spiders. We had rats in our room but we could change rooms without any discussion. Overall a good experience.

Hotelanlage in der Pampa/Nichts

Hingegend der Map Beschreibung bei expedia hier liegt die Anlage Mitten im Nichts und nur über eine steile Strasse zu erreichen. Nächste Ort oder Dorf ist in ca. 2-3 Km und man ist auf eine Moped oder Zubringerbus angewiesen. Auf Phangan ist Taxi Service im Verhältnis zum restlichen Thailand echt teuer. Zimmer, nunja wir hatten Standard gebucht und angeblich ein upgrate bekommen. Zimmer waren mit Blick auf Pool. Zimmerausstattung einfach aber ausreichend, jedoch Türen schliessen schlecht und sind undicht, jeder und alles was kreucht und fleucht wandert ins Zimmer, im Bad die Fester genau das selbe. Generell ist auch zu sagen es gibt immer und zu jeder Zeit Moskito Problem. Es wäre empfehlenswert Netze aufzuhängen und von selbst mittel gegen die Plage einzusetzen nicht erst nach ansprechen Spraymittel einzusetzen in den Zimmern. Die Sauberkeit wird nicht so gross geschrieben. Vorhänge da lebt alles drin und fleckig und dreckig, interessiert aber keinen, Bettwäsche löchrig und geflickt.
Frühstück hatten wir zum Glück durch ein Missgeschick nicht mit bestellt. Es wird a la Card gereicht und ist nicht zu empfeheln. Lieber unten in Ort bei 7/11 einkaufen und aufs zimmer mitnehmen oder im Ort essen.
Auf dein Fahtzeug ist man angesichts der echt steilen Strassen angewiesen.
Bewertungen über Freundlichkeit des Personals gebe ich nicht ab sowas setzt man doch vorraus das es freundlich ist.

Miete für Motorbike wird an der Rezeption möglich und zum Preis von 200Thb
