Great place

Love this place. Right on the beach. Foods delicious.

Lovely lodge

Palita lodge is a lovely place to stay on Koh Phangan. We intentionally went on a waxing moon to avoid the craziness of full moon parties and it was quite peaceful. Few steps from the lodge restaurant and you are on the beach.The staff work very hard and are friendly and helpful. We would stay at Palita again if we find our way back to Koh Phangan.

Lovely stay

Palita Lodge was lovely. We visited purposely during a waxing moon so we missed the party scene of the full moon. Right next to the beach and the grounds are gorgeous. The staff work very hard and are very kind and helpful. If we ever make our way back to Koh Phangan, I would stay at Palita. 🙏💕

What a beautiful place. The bungalows were perfect. The beach was clean. The location was convenient. I would stay there for 6months if I could . The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was great. This is the perfect place to stay!

Amazing beach and great staff. thanks for the amazing time.

The owners and staff go above and beyond to take care of guests. Free kayaks and SUP’s to borrow was a bonus and most of the guests don’t use them, but we did! Lots of smokers but that’s the norm in this part of the world. Beachfront location and very low key atmosphere made in a nice getaway.

Very friendly and family owned property - a home away from home!!! The cabins on the beach do not disappoint with the view however the room needs a little TLC. Comfy bed and pillows and hot water in both the sink and shower!! Several great choices for food and never left hungry! The property is a bit over grown with all the trees and bushes and the pool needs a bit of attention but it didn’t take away from our overall experience- Would definitely recommend!!

There is no water pressure from the showers in an outdated and poorly maintained building

It could be cleaner outside the property. I understand it is not the property but it looked dirty and ran down. The property is right on the beach. Most of the staff is really nice

That it was on the ocean. However, there were days we could not go in the ocean due to the waves.

Great location, super friendly staff and a restaurant that serves delicious food. Had a wonderful experience! Also just adored the family/owners.

Amazing

Amazing stay Amazing Food Amazing Service Amazing View

Wonderful hotel but bass plays all night long

The property is beautiful and in a great location. The bungalows are clean and the AC works great. The pool was excellent. The food in the restaurant was quite good and you can't beat the view. The only problem with the property is not their fault at all. They are on the main "party" beach. While the rooms are a bit set back from the beach, you absolutely can hear the bass line from the nearest club until the wee hours of the morning. We expected it to be loud on the Full Moon night. The surprise was that the bass would play until 3 or 4 in the morning every single night of our 4 night stay! Otherwise, the service was great and I would highly recommend staying here.

The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. It’s a family owned business and the take pride in their guests. Felt like a home and the food was amazing!!! And very affordable, it’s right at the end of the beach where the full moon party is but far enough away. And the ate stricter on their rules so it’s great for those of us who may not want to party all night.

Sue the owner makes the difference with incredible hosting.

Brilliant location right on the beach with a lovely pool. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Located at end of beach so nice and peaceful but also close enough to the lively nightlife.

magnificent

Lovely hotel on the beach and large rooms The staff helps with any request. Excellent location close to the center. It is highly recommended.

Quite possibly one of the best places i've had the opportunity to stay at. One of the most polite staff in the world and an all around fantastic experience. Truly an ideal spot for any kind of traveler or family. Very fortunate to have stayed there. THANK YOU

This hotel is absolutely amazing! Fantastic location, great food and staff that made us feel right at home. I can not fault anything about this gem! Would definitely revisit. One of the best holidays I have been on.

Great beds in Thailand

Lovely beds, family owned business. Take your mosquito repellent. It’s in jungle like vegetation more like an Eco resort. We loved it

Extremely Helpful Staff and a Lovely Stay!

Lovely staff, very helpful. Easy check in and check out considering we were part of a big group. Also assisted us with travel to and from the main Pier which was great! Room was perfect and clean! Location; a walk away from Hadrin Beach. Will be back again for a longer stay!

Highly recommended! Such a nice location and simply the best staff. Oh and the food is amazing! We never ate out! For the full moon, it's not in the middle of the maddness so the perfect spot to be but still you are right there 50m away.

Delicious food with proximity to the shops and full moon party if your interested in that. There is no DJs right at the front of the hotel during the party which is nice as you can get away from it and go to sleep at your leisure. The buffet dinner they provide at the party was amazing. We had a very nice and peaceful stay at the hotel.

We absolutely loved every moment of our stay at Palita Lodge! The location was perfect, ammenities were beautiful and the rooms, although simple, were exactly what you would need for a beach villa. I cant praise the staff enough, they were beyond lovely and accomodating. Also, the free breakfasts were amazing! We couldnt believe we lucked out in finding this hotel. Thank you for an incredible vacation!

Best hotel!

The stay was absolutely amazing, it is our second time in the hotel and we knew it will be good as the first time. The owners are just lovely! Taking care of everything.

Nice hotel with great location

Great location, good breakfast with beach view, the room is very simple and even no kettle. I had problem with ants but they solve the problem immidetely. The hotels is kind of village and a lot of trees and nature outside so you need know that maybe some insects can enter your room but nothing special and scary (happened a lot in all the hotels in Koh pahngan) .

Awesome all the way around. Take advantage of their food menu everything is amazing!

Stayed for half moon, slow season

The service was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. We forgot to get our deposit back for the key as they were helping us make special arrangements for our ride to the ferry and as we were boarding the ferry about 30 mins later, one of the staff came running down the dock to give us our 1000 bahts. Highly recommend this place. It was during the half moon that we stayed so this part of the beach is slow and we had a very quiet resort. Going down the beach you can hear music all night at the other hotels even during the off season. This hotel is right on the beach and they clean the sand out front every night.

Great location for the fullmoon party !

At the haad-rin beach. Perfect location for the fullmoon party! Right in the center but the party noise don't reach the rooms. Very nice staff!

Very Disappointing Hotel

We stayed for 5 nights the hotel conditions is bad the staff aren’t nice the breakfast is bad! The bed is terrible the only good thing is the location the hotel is on the full moon beach

Nice bungalow park with access to Haad Rin Beach

Air conditioned spacious bungalow with comfy bed, flat screen, storage space but no wardrobe. Freshly prepared breakfast at choice, terrace with sea view. Stayed there at quiet times which I enjoyed.

:)

For the quality of the room, service, and in-house food, this place is absolutely value for money. It is at the edge of Haad Rin beach and while not too far from the main activities, it was much quieter at night from the loud music. We went not in the full moon party season but still enjoyed it very much!

Very Nice But Extremely Rustic

I was supposed to stay 3 nights. I only stayed 1. It was nothing the resort or staff did to make me change my plans. It was just that this resort is extremely rustic, rather bare bones. It was a bit too rustic for my taste. The grounds are nice, as is the pool. The resort had no beach chairs which seems to be the norm on this beach. The staff was certainly 5 star although they leave the premises at 9 p.m. It felt like more of a cute adult sleepaway camp rather than a hotel or resort. The facilities are all in good working order and condition for what they were. Everything was clean. If you want back-to-nature accommodations and like the super simple set up of this hotel (not a resort), then you will like this location. If you want or need any luxury or upmarket creature comforts, then perhaps Palita is not for you.

Very Nice Staff

This "resort" is extremely rustic. Not worn out or dirty but RUSTIC. The rooms and facilities are clean and well maintained but bareboned and minimal albeit cute. It was clean and the facilities seemed to work. I only stayed one night because it just was not to my taste. (No closet, hangers, drawers (there are a couple of shelves, night front desk) However the staff were extremely helpful and very nice. If you want rustic, unsophisticated, old world Thaia, this place may be a good fix. If you are looking for any sort of luxury, you will be disappointed. With that disclaimer in mind, I do recommend it for people who want this type of accommodation. Again, the workers/owners make up for the lack of modern amenities.

Nice hotel on beach

We stayed during the full moon party and it was perfect. Our bungalow was far enough back from the beach that the noise didn't keep us up all night, but we were right in the middle of the party action! Nice big pool and friendly staff, we will definitely come back!

Not value for money

Good location for full-moon party area - but we ended up in the far behind huts which felt sweaty and cramped up.

Love it

We staid for one night and we decide to stay onto her weeK.

One night stay - Full Moon Party December 2016

Having been to the Full Moon Party before I was aware of the need to book in advance for somewhere good, and also that many places required a block booking of "x" days around the event. With that in mind, I was pleased I could book for the night of the party itself only. In terms of expense, for someone on a two week vacation it was completely affordable, for someone backpacking for months on a budget (as I have done before) this would be a luxury stop. The little lady who runs the Palita Lodge was lovely. Upon arrival we were given a drink on the house as we checked in, the room was great - air con, clean bathroom (absolute must) and a comfy bed. As with all accommodation around the party, we were informed of the rules and fines associated with fluorescent body paint - we stuck to the rules and got our full deposit back. On the night of the party, the lady running the lodge put on a buffet for guests and once again provided a free drink - a very personal touch that I was impressed with. I couldn't believe this was included in my booking, it saved having to go out and eat before going to the party. Location? - brilliant. For the party, it really is a short stroll down to the beach. It's situated at one end rather than in the middle, it will be loud all night but if you've had a few then you'll still sleep. There's a pool and bar area which we simply didn't have time to use. Breakfast was also decent and a ferry shuttle service was available for a reasonable price.

Wouldn't recommend if you're over the age of 25.

Great stay, provide beach towels and breakfast

Nice hotel

If you are looking for a nice hotel during the full moon party, this is the place for you. Located on the Had-rin beach, this is a very nice hotel with nice staff and good restaurant.

very impressed

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, lovely pool area, overlooking the beach. Very friendly staff.. perfect for the full moon party! Will book again if I come again! Amazing value for money. The full moon buffet was a lovely touch too!

Not the best experience

They will give you a room with a thin door between you and the room next to you and you could hear everything like it was your own room!!! Our neighbours was a little noisy so we asked the management for a quite room and they moved us to different room but with the same problem - thin door when you literally have your neighbours inside your room! Ridiculous! Staff was really OK but looks quite bitter. Try to smile sometimes. Air condition wasn't so effective and we felt warm at night. Breakfast - was good, but it's not a buffet so you can't take more then one meal (suppose you like juice & fruits - forget it) Beach is good but it doesn't mean you need to be a hotel guest to enjoy it. Pool was unattractive. It's big enough but something about the energies was unpleasant... Hard to explain. Anyway, no one actually used it. Sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend this hotel for a quiet and peaceful stay.

Perfect location and aesthetically pleasing

The location is spot on. The room are aesthetically pleasing however the air con was very noisy and didn't let out a pleasant smell. The beds are also rock hard which was not expected for such a pleasant looking room. But rooms were cleaned to a excellent quality everyday. Reception staff a little hit and miss to whether they were friendly and welcoming. We did the discovery diving and could not recommend it more highly, the staff were brilliant!!! The pool area is also lovely and relaxed. We only ever ate breakfast in the restaurant as there were much nicer restaurants for dinner. The restaurant looked a little worn down and would benefit from a refurbishment. All in all this is a good hotel especially for the value of money but would not stay there against simply down to the comfort of the beds.

Will be back

Lovely welocoming staff, lovely clean rooms. Owner arranged private cooking lesson in their kitchen which was great.

Very good hotel, really close to beach, great pool

Great experience and good with kids. We had a lovely well positioned room. The resort is right on the beach but sufficiently away from the music at night further down the beach. It was very quiet in June

Full moon paradise perfection

Me and three friends stayed here in the midst of traveling the country for the full moon party and were absolutely floored by their service and facilities. Gorgeous suite, fantastic restaurant, right on the main beach! It made our full moon party experience absolutely phenomenal, not to mention included a top notch buffet with free drinks the night of the event! I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. BRAVO & THANK YOU!

Fullmoon hotel

If you are in Phangan to party this is the right place for you! The hotel is located on the Fullmoon beach so you will hear the music playing on the bars on the beach in the evenings. The swimming pool is also really nice and the perfect place to relax.The staff is really nice,helpfull and always smiling :)

Amazing Stay!

The owners of the facility were amazing, exceptionally friendly, and attentive. They made an effort to know my name and a bit about me. The rooms were so lovely and the facilities were great! It was great having a pool and the beach to choose from! Perfect location!

Great family run operation

Great family run hotel. Best thai food in haadrin. Clean and friendly atmosphere.

Few nights in koh phangan

Very helpful and friendly staff. Fabulous beach within a few steps.

Palita delight. Got what we expected and more.

We stayed at Palita for 5 nights (full moon), staff if very nice and helpful with everything you need. Good location.

non-stop power outages and bad food

Stayed here for 2 nights during our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived the lady that runs the place gave us a bad feeling with her condescending attitude and enormous list of rules - like we were some crazy kids, which I guess in her defense she deals with a lot, the location of the hotel being right on the full moon party beach. There's a huge list of rules for everything (only 1 pool towel allowed per person per day, only 1 cup of coffee allowed with breakfast, etc.) They also require cash for everything including the deposit when you arrive. The most annoying thing was the constant power outages which turn off the AC and reset the Wifi so it disconnects 10-20 times a day and you have to re-login each time you go on your device which was really difficult as we were trying to plan the next days of our trip. There's also nothing on the tv - mostly static. Breakfast was free, but some of the worst we had on the trip (overcooked eggs with hotdog and watered down over sweetened juice for example was one option.) The room is cute, and the overall look of the place is charming, but I would recommend only for people here to party, not for a relaxing romantic stay.

Well worth it.

Overall, a great stay on a wonderful beach, that is cleaned daily and if, like us, you're not there for the full-moon party, is one of the nicest beach just to chill on in Ko Phangan. Almost always got great service with a smile, and the owner was very nice. Our one difficulty was the uncomfortable, single beds that were pushed together to make our "king" - we didn't sleep all that well.

AMAZING!

Loved this place 9 years ago, and I love it even more now! They have updated their rooms to keep up with the Jones while maintaining all the love that makes them so special. I was here over my birthday, and I couldn't have asked to be anywhere better. Everyone on the staff was so nice and wished me happy birthday and gave me pancakes with candles! The location is ideal to be on the beach for swimming and relaxing, go out for a drink, do anything you would need to do in town (bank, massage, scooter rental), and of course see the sunrise. The pool area is great. The rooms are simple yet elegant. Just fabulous overall!

Really nice stay!

Simple but really nice hotel with really lovely accommodating staff. The resort is located on the party beach of the island, which made it very convenient to just step outside to one of the bars on the beach for a drink. We asked for a quiet room at the back and got one with no problems. The room was very clean, but the bathroom in need of some renovation. The TV didn't have many channels but that got fixed when we enquired about it. The front door didn't close very well and we had loads of mosquitos and a small lizard in the room. Breakfast was yum, pool was nice and beach was probably one of the best to swim at. Great value for money, would go back in a heartbeat :)

Perfect for the Full Moon Party

We stayed for the Full Moon party and the location was unbeatable. Lovely little hotel.

An amazing stay

Booked on a whim, we had fairly bland expectations for this place, however we were pleasantly surprised. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating, they made you feel extremely welcome as soon as you arrived. The bungalows are so so so well kept, clean, nice bathrooms (wet room but the toilet it in partitioned off- unlike most hotels in Thailand where toilets are in the same area). The bungalows all had a nice little outside area where you could relax in the day. They had an affordable minibar and an amazing selection of shower gels (I don't usually use the ones at hotels, but these smelt beautiful). The location was amazing. We aren't full moon ravers, so we decided to leave here on the night of the full moon , but if you are full moon-er, this will be great for you. It's right on the beach (literally on your doorstep). However I would also suggest this to someone who isn't visiting over the full moon period but wants a lovely place to stay. Breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the beach is the BEST thing first thing in the morning. I must add that breakfast is extremely yummy!! One suggestion to the hotel. They currently do not have security deposit safes in the room. Instead, you have to give valuables to the hotel to keep them safe for you. I did not like this and would have much preferred a safe in the room. Nevertheless, this place is a must and we will definitely be returning.

Palita Stay

Overall my stay at palita lodge was pleasant. The staff is very helpful, pool and beach are lovely, and the food is delicious. The only thing is the rooms are a little old school. The rooms could use updating to make them more comfortable and modern. However, they are clean you just have to manage your expectations with this hotel.

Got almost everything right. Went above and beyond

The best hotel we stayed at during our trip to Thailand. Hotel facilities were decent but the shower was a little run down by Western standards but good by Thai standards. The hot and cold was in and out and the handles were the opposite way around so took a bit of getting used too. The restaurant was very good, better than many of the other places we had tried. I did a little damage to one of the towels with some of the infamous full moon party paint and they were very reasonable about it. The absolute highlight was after we had checked out we were lining up at the pier to take the boat to Koh Samui. A few minutes from boarding one of the hotel staff came running down the roadway WITH MY CAMERA that I had left in the room. It's a 10 minute walk from the pier. They had no need to do that but they went above and beyond to get me my camera back and I can't thank them enough.

The best hotelin ko pangan! Very nice and clean

Rooms are big and clean, buttiful pool, nice staff very worm and cerring people. On the beach, very good breakfast! The best hotel in lo pangan. I'm Recommend this hotel for every one.

Awesome!

Fantastic Resort. Large rooms, nice pool, perfect location, friendly owner, good food.

Great for 'Full Moon'; otherwise just ok

We arrived to Palita two days after the (in)famous full moon party. The place was packed with party goers, and thus was not very pleasant. On the 3rd days they started leaving, and by the 4th they were mostly gone. After that all was great. The place is right on the beach, food is OK (but not a lot more than that), staff is SUPER NICE AND FRIENDLY (just be there when the full mooners are gone!). Examples - you don't have time for breakfast? They will cut you fruits for the way; you need to leave early - they'll make you sandwiches the night before! As for the rooms - the garden bungalos (small ones) are not fun to be in. Very small and the bathrooms could use a renovation. After a night in one of those, we upgraded to a 2nd floor room in a poolside villa. These rooms are very nice and welcoming. One more thing - Haad Rin is not a quiet and peaceful place. It's a mostly dirty, overpriced, party people oriented town during full moon season, and just noisy otherwise. If you want peace and quiet (days or nights) search elswhere

our home in haad rin

our second time here and definitely not the last. we loved everithing here - the location, the food, the prices and of course - the warm treatment from the staff make palita lodge one of our favourite hotels in the world.

Nice hotel on the beach perfect location

Friendly staff, nice pool area, right on the beach. You are not in the middle of the party area but only a few minutes walk away. Perfect location for full moon party, would recommend

Nice location right on the beach

we were dropped off at the gates and were a bit unsure, but the location on the beach is lovely and the pool is pretty awesome. The rooms are simple but nice, I think that it wasn't quite worth the money in comparison to other hotels we have stayed in Thailand. The food is good and the breakfast options are good also.

Alles super

Das Resort hat eine perfekte Lage direkt am Strand. Das leckere Frühstück, kann man direkt mit Meerblick einnehmen. Das Restaurant hat aber auch ansonsten sehr gutes Essen. Es gibt Liegen am Pool und neben dem Restaurant, und es gibt bequeme Sitzkissen für den Strand. Die Bungalows sind renoviert und sehr gemütlich. Ich hatte einen schönen Gartenblick aus meinen großen Fenstern. Das personal ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Ich komme bereits seit Jahren immer mal wieder ins Palita Lodge und kann es.jedem nur empfehlen.

Super resort on the beach loved it !❣️

Prachtig gelegen aan het strans en onwijs lief personeel. Heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt. Huisjes ( tuinzijde) wel wat krap. Verder een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Alle drukte op loopafstand. Hoewel, erg druk was het nu niet met dat virus

mitigé

Hôtel bien située avec une mer superbe par contre énormément de bout de verres attention avec les enfants mais l’hôtel n’y est pour rien. Nous avons pris 2 chambres une dans un état correct l’autre catastrophique nous avons démanger de changer pour les nouveaux lodges bien plus propre mais j’ai payé 400€ de plus pour 2 chambres et 4 nuits alors que j’avais déjà payé plus de 500€ et avec un excellent rabais mais j’ai préféré payé pour continuer à passer de belles vacances. L’avantage de l’hôtel la plage et l’endroit et les chambres neuves pour le reste non.
