Phangan Island View - SHA Extra Plus

Poolen

Not the best service, But good.

Good location

Lovely pool area

Big rooms, comfortable (massive) bed, nice pool that was clean, good wifi and telly (we plugged in a fire stick and it worked perfectly). Shower was good, free bottled water left outside room everyday, sockets both sides of the bed, lamp in the room. Location is good, on the main road but set back so it's quiet. Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars around - go to the french cafe next door, best coffee around! A short walk (15 mins) from the pier area for more cafes, restaurants and walking street with lots of bars. 7-11 2 mins walk away. We stayed for the full moon party and this was one of the best looking reasonably priced hotels we could find and the hotel exceeded our expectations based on some of the reviews we read. We spent a lot of time in this hotel chilling/watching TV after a few nights out and can say it was a comfortable place to be hungover lol - easy to get food delivery to the hotel through delivery kpg too.

There's a few things that stop this hotel being perfect IMO - the curtains hang about 3 or 4 inches off the floor and let in loads of light which is a shame because they are pretty much blackout curtains otherwise, bring an eye mask! The bed is two beds pushed together and the ridge/gap was very obvious. The staff/owners are a bit miserable tbh no one really smiles or looks up, we had a couple weird encounters - but we did get anything we asked for like extra pillows. The biggest issue for us though is the caged bird by the pool, not only is it immeasurably cruel to keep a bird that big locked up all day on its own with no interaction, this bird in particular is also incredibly loud and annoying. We were staying in a room far away from the bird and it still woke us up the first two mornings before we started taking measures to not get woken up (earplugs, blocking gap under door etc..) - I honestly don't think I've ever heard a bird so loud, I feel sorry for the people in the rooms next to it. Overall we did enjoy our stay and found it to be a no fuss, comfortable stay for the most part - I would honestly just avoid the pool view rooms if you don't want to get woken up at 6am every morning and bring earplugs/eyemask.

Room was nice and big. Good pool and was a comfortable spot to work for a few hours. Wifi was good in most places. Was able to rent a bike from them. No funny business.

Whilst wifi was good in most places was patchy in our room. We were above the office so just needed to ask for the office wifi password and that worked better

Clean place and really good location

I asked if I can leave my bag there for two days, but they did not meet me halfwaty.
