Sea Love Beach Bar & Bungalows

Delicious foods, good mood! The bread is fantastic, the toast bread was so boring after a week here on Koh phangan, but when I ordered the tuna sandwich it was fantastic. The quality of the foods extremely good. The prices are in mid range, so for two people two soups and two sandwiches around 900 baht. We will return!!!

For the whole time of our stay here we kept asking ourselves how people could actually rate this dump with five stars (which is how we got fooled and book a bungalow here!). The place is basically falling apart, the pics used on the internet have probably been taken when it first opened. I won’t go into details, I’ll let the photos speak for me. The bungalow we stayed, number 16, is considered “Deluxe”, not even standard. It was all the way to the back, next to the entrance of the resort by the parking lot. There was a window that could not even be open so you always had to keep the light on. The filthy bathroom had the safe box on the floor that had to be used as a step as the bathroom was on a lower lever than the rest of the bungalow. This is just to mention a couple of things. Customer service is something that people who run this place don’t even know how to spell. The air con unit in our bungalow was leaking and when we told them the answer was: “We don’t know when and if the guy can come to fix it, maybe tomorrow!”. The technicians came to look at it (they opened it and cleaned it) in the evening of the second day of our three days stay. We weren’t expecting a refund or a free meal, but a proper apology, or a complementary drink, while we were forced out of our bungalow for over one hour when they tried to fix the air con unit, would have been nice and appreciated. Anyway, even after the technicians looked at it the air con kept leaking so we had to spend three nights with the constant noise of a drop falling on a soaked towel on the floor. When we checked in there was a big sign saying “join our cooking classes, 500 THB!”. I asked for some details and the receptionist (who had the attitude of someone who was doing as a favor for being there) said: “We’ll see, because you need to choose what you want to do and I don’t even know if I’m free!” (No comment!). I could go on and on with my rant and list dozens of negative things about this place but I think I spent even too much time. My thumb up is only for the location (geographically speaking), this horrible place is walking distance from a few shops and restaurants and there’s a lovely beach right in front!! Overall we enjoyed our stay in Koh Phangan, but surely not in this resort,…. book somewhere else, don’t be fooled by the positive reviews (like we did!!), for the money they ask (being in Thailand) you can surely find proper luxury and customer service somewhere else!!

We wanted to stay on the beach, so expected to be a few more bugs than if you were anywhere else so I don't think it is fair to comment on that. We bungalows were on a lovely little beach, amazing sunsets. Food & drinks were really nice! We ate a few times, local to 711 and bike rental. I think if they just made the beds more comfy we would have loved it, but unfortunately they are really uncomfy and pillows are non existent also the cover was pointless (we asked for extra, think they went out to buy them which was great couldn't manage without , I usually use 3 pillows) Massage on the beach was great and we did love the service and vibes.

Lovely well kept beach hunts with unspoiled views of the sea Restaurant food was excellent although more expensive than other places in the area Beach however was not particularly nice with big sea**** problem Could do with some hooks in the hunts to be able to hang a few things up as space is limited. Had an issue with the shower which was fixed immediately - just wish we had mentioned it early rather than having a few very cold showers !!

Pros: - restaurant on site has great food, albeit slightly more expensive than other restaurants near by - Thai staff were lovely and very accommodating - less than 5 min walk to 7/11, nearby restaurants, and massage place - massage therapist on the beach - beautiful beach with hammocks and bean chairs - cheap Cons: - rooms need a refresh. Our door wouldn’t shut unless it was latched or padlocked - we had to go buy pillows as the ones provided were completely flat - mattress was uncomfortable and springs could be felt - only one short sheet provided: we couldn’t cover both our feet and shoulders - the room was MUCH smaller then shown online - there was two concrete steps to the bathroom, which meant if you wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night you had to turn the lights on (waking up my partner) - lots of mosquitoes in the room - there was glass on the beach

Sea love beach bar & bungalows, a small Paradise in Koh Phangan. I have been a guest here on Koh Phangan since 1995 and have already been a guest in a few accommodations. The Sea Love Beach Bar Resort, with its german owners, has definitely become one of the top favorites on the island for me. We were there as day guests, because there were no free bungalow left. Even at first glance you can see the attention to detail in the furnishings, the furniture, the path design, the bungalows, with delicate colors and unobtrusive, light decoration and pleasing cleanliness. Although we had accommodation elsewhere, we came for a delicious breakfast (with real bread !) and were able to enjoy all the benefits of the place until the night. the in-house massage on the beautiful beach, beach swings, beach cushions, a pool. The food the drinks are also very good and the staff is very friendly and sweet. We noticed how the owners lovingly helped the guests with all their needs upon arrival and departure. In my opinion, this place, as it is run and designed today, is one of the most beautiful on the island, and I can absolutely recommend it to anyone who values cleanliness, taste, beauty and relaxation. It is ideally located between Haad Rin and Thong Sala, you are far enough away from all the hustle and bustle and yet close if you are traveling by scooter and the prices for accommodation and food are simply unbeatable compared to other resorts and the quality. Conclusion: Next time I'll try to book here with my family in good time.
