We stayed here in Dec/Jan, and liked the convenience to Fisherman's Village and the beach just across the way. The pictures made it look nicer than it was. The room was fine, and I really liked the cute little balcony. However, the bathroom was not clean with hair all over the floor. I liked that you could bring your own lock for the outside once you left the room. This was really helpful as we actually spent one night at a different hotel on Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party, but liked being able to keep our luggage here for when we came back the next day. The owners and staff were very nice and friendly. We didn't have time to check out the downstairs bar area, but looked like a fun place to hang out. They were very responsive by email before our arrival to help answer questions, etc. I felt really bad when we arrived because we had arranged a taxi to pick us up but our flight was delayed. We e-mailed to let them know but there must have been some sort of miscommunication and the driver couldn't find us. Leaving for the airport though, we booked a taxi again and it was seamless.
