Kim met us in Koh Samui and accompanied us on the ferry to Phangan. We were treated to a glass of wine at Siam House before being shown to the beautiful jungle house

I don't even know where to start really...paradise on Earth...will that do?! Words can't really describe how amazing our experience was here! The house is absolutely breathtaking, from the moment we walked in we were filled with tears of wonderment, and when we left we were filled with tears of sorrow. The house itself is an incredible achievement in design, the combination of modern comfort and working with nature was pure perfection. It really is the stuff dreams are made of! As for Kim and Giet, some of the loveliest, warm-hearted, most welcoming, hospitable and truly inspiring people to have stepped foot on this planet...really! Meeting people like them fills your heart with absolute joy! And we also fell head-over-heels with Thong Nai Pan Yai. Our favourite beach on Ko Pha Ngan hands down, it was perfect and everything we were looking for! Quite, chilled, laid-back and simply stunning! The people were probably the friendliest we encountered on the island too. Real community feel to it. It was an honour to bewelcomed with open arms by them. We will miss our time here dearly: the house, Kim & Giet, the beach, the people, the hills...all will have a place in our heart forever. If I could...I would live here...IN AN INSTANT!! Than you so much for the time of our lives!

I can't recommend this gem enough. Tropical House sits up on the hillside across from the beach but only a 7-minute walk to the water. Secluded (there are two houses along the dirt road leading up to the house, but you cannot really see them from the house itself), romantic, rustic, wild, breathtaking, open and peaceful are just a few words I could find to describe the accommodation. But until you stay there, words cannot really describe the place. Together with a family of geckos, a few mosquitos (nothing the coils didn't take care of), a lovely dog named Puppy, a few spiders some jumping frogs and a variety of fascinating birds, the experience truly was magnificent. They animals, by no means were to invasive. They just enhanced the dream that much more. Tropical House can be completely open from large sliding glass doors to open sutters allowing for an cool mountain breeze to penetrate the quarters. My wife and I never felt unsafe or threatened and we didn't bother to close up even though we were gone a large portion of the day. The kitchen came in handy for cooking breakfast and a large fridge was perfect for keeping our beers cold. The bathroom is outside, which I loved because you felt like you were showering in the wild but completely contained. Beds were equipped with mosquito nets and a large fan aided in a good nights sleep. The house is very large with a high ceiling and an oversized balcony, perfect for drinking in the evening while looking down upon the ocean. Kim, our gracious host provided us with tips on where to eat, shops where we could buy veggies and fruit and arranged everything including a pick up to the port (Thong Sala), so we didn't even have to walk down to the main road with our heavy packs. She has also been on living for 20 plus years and knows about life on the island. If it weren't for work, I would have moved in permanently and wrote the book. You can stay at any bungalow or resort on the island and they are pretty much the same, but Tropical House is one of a kind and honestly speaking, the coolest place I have ever stayed in my life.

beautiful place built and decorated by beautiful people. we had a wonderful stay and we look forward to be there soon again;)

We had a great stay in this wonderful house! a perfect place to relax and enjoy the nature. The house is beautifuly furnished, when we arrived, everything was prepared nicely, fresh fruits, towels, .... We`d love to come back one day!!!!! Thanks!!!

The Jungle House is exactly what it says; a lovely house in the middle of the jungle with a view of the sea through the coconut palms. It's an idyllic place and the description is completely accurate. Like it says, it is in the jungle and there were plenty of mosquitoes for company. Unless you're a very heavy sleeper, it would be worth having some earplugs to dim the noise of the crickets which set up a powerful dawn chorus (even by cricket standards!) In May, the village was quiet but there were still plenty of eating places open. It really is a lovely place and Kim and Giet couldn't have been more helpful or more welcoming.

My friend and I stayed at the Tropical House for a week and absolutely loved it! The house was the perfect city getaway that completely surrounds you in nature situated a short walk out of town. We spent the week swimming at the beach, visiting the many restaurants/bars in the area, checking out local viewpoints and attractions, and finally just relaxing at the house. Kim and Giet were really helpful getting us to and from the island being new to Thailand and suggested several nearby attractions. Puppy (the local dog) was a great companion over the week always watching over the house and guiding us down the path to town. Overall the trip was better than we expected and highly recommend Kim and Giet's Jungle home!

Absolutely loved this unit. Yes, the roads to and from this unit are steep, rocky, and about a mile from the local restaurants & businesses. Aside from that, we didn't even leave the property for one of our days here because the pool area is so fabulous. The unit opens up to two large decks, each with a pool. The best part of our stay was the staff at the front desk- they were so accommodating in every way and we got accustomed to the familiar faces very quickly. We loved this place so much that we extended our stay a night, although it was in a room away from the pools.

The listing itself it gorgeous and clean. It's part of a larger boutique hotel where many of the rooms overlook the ocean. The hotel itself is submerged in the jungle, so just be aware that it's about a 5-10 minute walk down a dirt road to the beach and the local town. The service was excellent. You'll get breakfast made to order for you, though they are just simple toast/eggs/fruit. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and were quick to try to fix our broken A/C. Of further interest (since you're looking at listings on Koh Phangnan) is accessibility to the Full Moon Party. This listing isn't particularly close, and is about a 30-40 minute drive. However, Stig helpfully does arrange to have transportation to the party (for additional cost, obviously), so it's really nice not having to worry about transportation to/from the party. I think you should consider this place if you're looking for a quieter and relaxing experience where you can bum out on the beach or enjoy quiet nights, but if you want more excitement, you're probably better off elsewhere on the island. Otherwise, this place is fantastic to stay at.

Amazing place with awesome sea and mountain views. Villa was clean, cozy and had the swimming pool next to our door. Perfect choice if you looking for real relax and a friendly service. Stig was so nice with us and made us feel like at home. Highly recommended!

This is a room in a big house, so it is not apartments per se. No kitchen, no yard and no any privacy at all. It's hard to get here, the road is really really bad and nobody will meet you in the town. But we did enjoy 2 night spending there. The nature around, the moon, the beach are very good.

Good holidays! Very beautiful view! Tasty breakfast and nice little dog ) Thank you!

The view is amazing! The room is just like in the pictures, very cute! The girls that work there are wonderful! They took such good care of us. I got sick for a couple of days from heat exhaustion, and they brought up electrolyte packets for my water bottles and icy compresses without us asking. The only downfall is the road to get there is a little steep and dangerous to drive with a moped, but I saw they are working on that street so I'm sure it will be done in no time. Good value for money.

We have been unable to properly review this place as we had to leave after 2 nights due to severe flooding and rains. The place on arrival was beautiful , with a stunning infinity pool and a totally beautiful beach only 5/ ten min walk away ( all uphill though on way home) . All the staff were extremely helpful and did the best they could in very challenging circumstances . We hope to go back to try ko phangang again one day.

We loved our 4 day stay at Sea View House! We are a couple in our late 20's and found it to be the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. The house is located on a small "resort" of about 20 bungalows, but still manages to be completely private. The beach here is lovely (truly only a one minute walk) and the house is a ten minute walk into town. The kitchen is well-equipped, but we enjoyed the food so much at the restaurant that we ate most meals there. The staff at Long Tail Resort arranged a taxi from the ferry terminal (even though the ferry was over an hour late!). The staff were on hand to welcome us and get us oriented to the house and property. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this place! After staying in hotels for 2 weeks, we felt at home here. We loved it so much, we extended our stay by 3 nights and stayed in one of the bungalows. I would highly recommend you stay here!

My son and I loved this house and its location. It was bright,airy, homely and had everything we needed, including some good books. It also had the most fantastic views from the terrace, and was minutes from some great eateries, including the one at the resort itself. Staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. This was a truly glorious spot, and I would highly recommend to anyone coming to the island.

It was a perfect appartement :-)

Very lovely and picturesque place. Though the road to beach is rather steep, it worth! Staff is friendly and cheerful. The house is quite well equipped (teapot, refrigerator, anti-mosquito protection, 3 hummocks). There is also air conditioning for extra pay (250 bat per day). The house is cleaned every 3 days. There is a restaurant on the way to the beach. All food is tasty and prices are fair. There are yoga studio and Thai massage spa in the village (15-20 min on foot or 5 min by bike). As spa refers to the same owner hotel guests may have 10% discount. The nearest beach (Thong Nai Pang Yai) is suitable for rest with little children, but if you want more deep water you should visit Than Sadet beach which is not far away.

Fantastic time

Perfect place for perfect peaceful holidays ! No surprise inspite of the beautiful pictures, it looks exactly the same. Next to the beach and its restaurants, walking distance from the village, no need to rent a scooter for your daily needs. The beach is just beautiful, long sandy beach with cristal water and nobody around. We needed a break to rest and it was the perfect place to be. Brenda is always available to answer all your questions and respond quickly. Perfect hosts as well ! Thank you Brenda and Brian for letting us sharing your place !

Brenda was the perfect host, she responded quickly to any questions we had and did her utmost to accommodate us in any needs. The resort was top notch and the house even better. With a large veranda and away from the crowds it was just what we needed. Thx Brenda

Brenda's place was great very cozy and comfortable staff in resort was excellent and friendly. This is a house located on a resort not for partying but is very quiet perfect for couples

We stayed here for Christmas and it's has some beautiful views. The pool is over looking the rainforest and you can see the sea whilst sunbathing. The staff are very helpful and stig is welcoming.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The views were breathtaking, and hosts were incredible. Very friendly and accommodating. The location was on the quieter side of the island which made us feel safer (especially seeing as we were there for the busy Full Moon time) and the hosts organised transport for us at a small additional cost. It was the best of both worlds! Thanks team!

We had a very easy transfer from the ferry port. All staff were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. The bungalow had incredible views out across the jungle and bay. Suan Sawan is situated in a very peaceful location, only a 10 minute walk to the beach. We had a great stay and everything we needed was provided. Would love to stay again. Thanks all. Lorna and Chris.

The bungalow is surrounded by natural jungle and offers a great view over the ocean where you can see the sunrise. Stig and his team are very kind and helpful. His driver took us to full moon party and picked us up at arranged time for a good fee (compared to public taxi). Breakfast was included and the pool with view on the ocean is great. We had a nice stay and looking forward to meet up again. Best regards Dominik and Steffen

really nice bungolow in the jungle with sea view. nice pool to relax and enjoy the weather. stig picked us up at the pier and drove us to the location. I would recommend this place!

We loved our 3 nights at Stig's resort! The property is secluded up a dirt road in the hills, but a short walk/ride down to the beach. We were warmly welcomed and very well taken care of by the lovely, smiling and helpful Ying. Our bungalow was unique and comfortable with a great view of the lush surroundings, sea and sunrises. The pool area is very nice, also with a lovely view. Breakfasts were good (eggs, toast, fruit) and we found many good restaurants along the beach front and in the nearby village. We recommend using Stig's pick-up service from the ferry and then renting a moped/vehicle in the village. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to return.

Relaxing place with greet views. Initially had some trouble finding the place as it is up a steep dirt road. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps shows the location closer to the beach. We addressed this with staff and they were quick to acknowledge that they are working with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to get this corrected. The wifi was a bit dodgy throughout our stay, but hopefully that was just our bad luck. The views are breathtaking from the room and the pools. You really are in the jungle. At night you can hear the geckos, monkeys, and wild animals. The staff are all amazing. David was patient with us when we found the largest spider we've ever seen. He was quick to get rid of it. M s. Ying at the front desk was super helpful answering all of our questions. We loved the driver who took us to the beach and into the nearby village. Our favorite part about the stay was the chef. We didn't catch her name, but she made some amazing food. We ended up eating all of our meals at the restaurant. She was that good. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Great Bungalow, wonderful location, Stig and his wife and staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a great time and can gladly recommend staying in this little paradise (we originally had two nights booked but extended for the whole vacation :) ) All thumbs-up!

Our stay was very comfortable. It is a resort with friendly staff. Transportation to and from city and island is not free. The listing was misleading in this regard. As a family of 6, this made it difficult and costly to do things around the island.

We stayed in the Ocean View room which was, as other reviews have commented, the middle level of a split villa on the Suan Suwan resort (more surrounding villas/bungalows than we thought). The villa was extremely spacious with a stunning view out over the jungle and ocean from the shared pool. There were three bedrooms (though one is only separated by a curtain, not a wall) and two big bathrooms (one of which unfortunately had a sulphur smell to it throughout the whole of our stay). Cleaners came in each day to stock the fridge with water (very muchly appreciated!), make the bed etc but I think the villa could do with a proper spring clean - there were dirty tissues and cotton buds on the coffee table upon arrival, dust and bugs settled in corners. The villa is ideally located! A short 5 minute walk downhill to a gorgeous beach and lovely little town with some great restaurants. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the complimentary breakfast each day and the welcoming staff!

We loved our 5 nights with Stig and his 'family' at Suan Sawan. We (2 big + 3 little) stayed in the fantastic Ocean View apartment, which is airy, spacious, clean and comfortable. It is beautifully decorated and when we weren't lounging by the pool directly in front, or diving from the elevated pool directly next to it, or mooching by the other pool up the hill, or loafing in the comfortable shaded seating area outside our front door we were feet up in the massive living room admiring the high ceilings and lovely decor. The location of Suan Sawan is also fantastic providing a retreat in the hills for the heat of the beach, however as others had noted if you are planning the climb from the beach on foot is something to prepare yourself for - although Stig does provide a drop off/pick up service which although we had our own jeep and didn't use was certainly appreciated by others. If you are coming to appreciate the beautiful beaches of Ao Thong Nai Pan and want to stay in a relaxed and friendly environment set back from any hustle and bustle then this is definitely worth considering.

The space was well located on the jungle side of koh phanagan and had everything we needed. There are a few places to eat nearby and plenty of taxis available to other parts of the island. We had a great time.

We travelled in a group of 6 to Ocean view apartment, 2 couples and 2 friends. When arriving at Ocean view apartment we were disappointed to see that there are not 3 separate bedrooms as described in the accommodation description, there was only one separate double room, and then one large room with 2 double beds and a curtain in the middle of the room to separate the two beds. This did not provide a lot of privacy and we were a little disgruntled to then look back at the advert to see that it does indeed state 3 bedrooms. In the night the large bedroom with the 2 beds had one air conditioning unit, and it was far too warm in the bed on the other side of the room and we had to have a loud fan blowing the whole night. We suggested to Stig that to avoid the same disappointment in the future, that he should change the description to 2 bedrooms. Stig was a very good host, very open and friendly. The house is situated at the top of a long steep dirt track which is a 5 minute walk to the beach, however it is not ideal for inexpierenced scooter drivers, as the road is tricky to navigate due to the large stones and ditches, and this is something to take into consideration before renting a scooter. Breakfast was included every morning and consisted of toast, eggs and some fruit which was a nice surprise as we did not know that breakfast was included. The swimming pool is very small and shared with all of the other guests staying at the apartments, therefore when there are another group of people staying at the same time, then you won't all fit around or in the pool. Therefore the local beach was another alternative. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

We just loved this place! Great staff, wonderful view and amazing swimming pool.

We stayed 5 incredible days in suan sawan, enjoying the island and his comfortable atmosphere. Stig and all the staff of Suan Sawan is very helpful and friendly, they felt us like as home. The apartment is just 5 min walking from the beach and 10 min to the downtown, but they can pickup you with car if you need. Ocean view apartment is very spacious and has a nice view over the ocean, like his name says!! the pool is just outside the terrace. The beach and town of Thong Nai Pan Noi is very beatiful and relaxing, it's perfect place to stay for families and couples, with a lot of bars and restaurants to enjoy food and drinks and also few shops if you need something else. The island is plenty of beautiful spots and beaches, it's a must if you're looking a place to visit in thailand. We can only say, thanks a lot Stig !! and recommend to everyone to come and see this place. It worths(URL HIDDEN)

The Ocean View apartment in Stig's Suan Sawan Villa was really great for my Thailand trip with 4 girlfriends. We LOVED Thong Nai Pan Noi, the beach and village just below the house! The walk up the hill isn't bad and the view, terrace, and refreshing pool make it totally worth it. Stig and his staff take great care of the house and grounds. We also were fed well when we didn't feel like going down to the village. It's a great stay for the price and I highly recommend this side of Koh Phangan!

We had a great time for the full moon festival. The place is located on a great side of the island for beaches and diving. Stig and his family were amazing with helping us get around and actually have a private restaurant for the guests that was great and convenient.

Stig and his whole team were very welcoming and nice. We were picked up at the ferry and received some water when we arrived. The rooms are big and the pool has an amazing view. As soon as the road to this place is completely finished I can recommend it fully. For now - stay safe on the scooter ;).

Very fancy house, private pool with an amazing view on the sea. Really nice!

Stig's apartments are really a beautiful and peaceful place. It's quite a walk up the hill but we enjoyed the stunning view from the pool. Unfortunately the rooms were quite dark, the water heater was rusty inside and there was no hot plate in the kitchen. This would have been helpful to prepare small dishes. For breakfast you get basic dishes and the staff really tries to make an effort if you want to make small changes in your meals. We felt warmly welcomed and the staff was truly helpful concerning our questions about day trips and what to do on the island. All in all we had a nice stay at Stig's place. Thank you again for hosting us.

The swimming pool are very nice and clean,but the room wasn't...specially the floor was very dirty ...

Nice Villa! wonderfull pool! Awesome staff !

Best hosptality and experience my group have had with airbnb yet. This home is minutes away from a breathtaking secluded beach and the hosts are lovely. We will be back!

Never Meet Stig, but his co-manager David. David and the Rest of the Stuff was really great. David is a great Host. You can Ask him anything and will help you. Nice hotel. Just WLAN was a little bit weak in the room, but that doesn't really matter.

Was a really great villa, absolutely amazing view and great service, receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. The apartment was stunning, and the free water was a nice touch. The only negative thing is that it is quite far away from anything ie full moon party etc - so be prepared to pay taxi fees, however it is a 10 minute walk from a different nice small beach. But in our opinion the view was worth the extra money :)

Stig has built a very special place nestled in the jungle! The apartment was very spacious and clean and Stig and the staff were great hosts! They were extremely friendly and made us vegetarian food on request which was delicious!! Only a 5 minute walk to the beach! The two swimming pools had the perfect temperature and the area around was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun :o) It was not very easy to find and the street is not well-built, so we don't recommend coming with a rental car! Stig even picks up guests at the pier! We really enjoyed our time there and loved it :o)

I'm not lying when I say that Stig and his staff are the friendliest people I have met in whole Thailand! Incredible! They made everything possible. Helped us renting a scooter at some serious scooterrent, gave us many helpful information and made our stay as beautiful as they could. Nice breakfast, everything was clean and a really beautiful view at the sea. They even invited us for dinner once! Really awesome houses! Looking forward to see the new pool! I wish you all the best for the future, hopefully we meet again! :-) thank you!

Stiff was a great host. He and his stuff were always very helpful and kind. We had a great stay.

Great location near a relaxed beach, great restaurants near by and the pool was perfect. Three of us shared a two bedroom, one room had a mosquito net and one did not. The shower had plenty of warm water which was a plus on chilly evenings. I enjoyed sharing the space with beautiful lizards and spiders since they helped keep the mosquitoes away from our rooms. The walk to and from the beach and restaurants was a delight especially at night where we could gaze at bioluminescent insects throughout the forest. The people, energy, dogs and overall area was wonderful.

It's a beautiful house on top of a hill on the northeast side of Koh Phangan. My 2 friends and I stayed here for 4 days enjoying the peace and quiet. It's not the best place to order food as they always took the wrong order, and food can come almost an hour late but there are restaurants down the road so that was fine. Also Stig was kind to have someone pick us up for free. Do prepare 300baht per person for a ride back to the jetty during your departure. Overall it was lovely :)

We had a great stay thanks to Stig and his wife. Very friendly and helpful in every way. Thanks for everything.

We had a lovely stay at the Havanna beach resort. The room was clean and nice, the breakfast was fine and includes mainly American breakfast. At the beachfront several good restaurants are located. The beach itself was pretty nice, it was quiet and invites to relax e.g. while you are enjoying a massage at the beach. So I recommend this resort to everyone who wants to stay at Kho Phangan in a beautiful room and at a great location on the island.

It's very convenient on arrival. Receptionist is waiting with friendly smile and pass the key straightaway. They could provide reliable and sensible information for transportation and tips and tricks of full-moon party.

We really enjoyed our time at Kattriya's place and even extended our stay by 4 days. The complementary breakfast was a pleasant surprise, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The beach is great! It is secluded, and not overly busy with resorts. There was plenty of room to have a space of your own, and no peddlers pushing their wares. The restaurant offered an extensive menu, and the nightly BBQ was delicious! The pool area was clean and generally a quite place to relax. The room was spacious, cleaned daily, and had a large veranda overlooking a koi pond. As well, Sam and Miss Anna were very helpful in planning our transportation and continued to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves without being intrusive. We had a great time, and would return if on the island again!

I like this resort a lot . It was very nice and clean . The lady who work as a reception was very kind and helpful. Would love to high recommend

Such a wonderful stay! If you are looking for a quiet space with a unique, but small nightlife, this is the place. Beautiful beach, quirky small town and great, clean and as-pictured rooms. Thank you!

The bungalows and villas are a 10 minute walk away from one of the best beaches on the island. The description however, is misleading. We were not given a 'luxury villa', more a bamboo hut. We had to move rooms mid-way through our stay at the roof started leaking and the second room was not a villa either.

Had a wonderful stay at Stig's place. Such spectacular views, and a lovely pool. The photos also don't do the unit or its view justice! Massively comfortable bed, and tons of space inside the bungalow. Plus an absolutely lovely bathroom, and a perfect deck for enjoying the Thong Pan Noi days. Was a bit of a walk down the hill to the town, and back, but not too bad. Worth it for the view. And the friendly, good-natured staff of David and Ning made everything great. When I come back to Pan Noi, will definitely stay at Stig's. Thanks!

We had a great time at Stig's place. The view is fabulous! Stig and staff really helpful and nice. Traveling with two small kids though made the daily climb a bit too much (7 months and 3,5 years old) so ask for another room (not bungalow) if you are traveling with kids. Pools are great, wifi is great, breakfast is good - we can highly recommend it! We spent some of our stay in the ocean view apartment. Highly recommendable! Spectacular view, great big terrace, large and nice rooms and bathrooms. Make sure to arrange a pickup at the harbor if you arrive to the island by boat.

We stayed in a sweet bungalow, perched on the side of a steep hill. The room was clean, and the staff were super friendly. We had a semi-private pool with an amazing sunrise view. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast was included and that our sheets were changed daily! The location was quiet, and only a 7-minute walk down to a gorgeous beach, as well as a small town with lots of good food options. The road that goes from town/beach up to the bungalow is pretty rough and VERY steep--heads up! We had an overall AMAZING stay!

We were made to feel very welcome by Mr Stig and his staff.

My 3 friends and I stayed for 6 nights and it was awesome! When we arrived Stig was waiting to take us up to the apartment. His wife then showed us the Bungalow which was lovely! And the view is really stunning! Although it only takes 10 minutes to walk into the city, the free pick up service up to the resort can be really useful :) Stig and his wife are very nice! They answered all of our questions...and we had a lot^^ actually we had the impression that everybody on the resort ist doing his/her best for us! The breakfast was very good and the beach is beautiful! The little village has everything you could need and the restaurants are very good! Stig will give you some advices where to get good food :) We had to catch our flight on koh samui at 10am. We asked which ferry we should take, but Stig offered to organise the transfer to the Pier at 6am so we caught the ferry and even the transfer to the airport was waiting for us when we arrived! Everything worked out so well! All together we had a great time at the Suan Sawan Resort and highly recommend it!

we enjoyed our stay very much. at the beginning we were a bit disappointed because we thought we would have two separated bedrooms, a kitchen and a washing machine in our room. but stigg did everything in his power to make us happy. upgraded us to a "better" room. don't get me wrong the first room was amazing, beautiful balcony and a awesome view over the bay. due to the booking we had to change rooms a couple of times but we didn't mind. each room has his unique benefits, closer to the pool, cozier balcony etc. to sum it up stigg's place is incredible, we spent hours in the pool in the shades of coco palms enjoying the view over the bay, or enjoying authentic Thai food at the restaurant. the beach is great and not overrun by tourists. We will definitely stay there again when we travel to ko pangan. highly recommended

We had a very pleasant stay in the Bungalow which is situated about 10mn walk from the beach, with a magnificent view. The Bungalow is spacious, with a nice bathroom with hot water. there is a swimming pool in a nice tropical garden. There are other bungalows and rooms in this private property managed by Stig, who was very helpful and drive us back to the harbor, opposite the island for our departure.

We had a really nice stay for 5 nights at the bungalow. The rooms are very clean and the bathroom looks quite fancy. Really nice view from our "private pool" near the bungalow. Great service and a charming staff which offers excellent thai food. The beds are kind of short compared to other standards (I am 1,84m), but after a few nights it feels like a normal sized bed ;)

honestly our favorite part of Thailand, and the island itself. The view was unforgettable, the staff was beyond helpful and welcoming, and the bungalows were a dream. I would return just to stay here again!

Everything was okay!

The bamboo bungalow is located in the hills, middle in the djungle and just 5 minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Koh Phangan. You will find everything you need in the bungalow (air condition, bathroom, water healer). The best experience is to hear the noises of the djungle in the night and to see the ocean from the balcony. A very great experience! Stig and his crew are very helpful, caring and polite.

We stayed at Suan Sawan for six nights. And it was awesome. The cottages are in no way luxurious, but they are big, clean and cosy. And they have the most wonderful view from the hill down to the waterfront. Stig and his wfe who run this small resort are very friendly and helpful. And they're good at making you feel at home. On the backside of the cottages you have jungle and on the front you have the ocean. What else could you wish for? Don't expect water taps made of gold and waiters just standing there to serve you. But if you look for a great atmosphere, a friendly environment and value for money; don't hesitate: Suan Sawan is the place for you.

My husband and I stayed at Stig's place for two nights and the experience was beautiful. Our apartment was gorgeously furnished - very private and romantic. Just a 10 minute walk to town/ a gorgeous beach with clear water and lined with both moderately priced and high end restaurants and a wide selection of massage parlors. There was a lovely pool right outside out apartment that we loved jumping in to cool down after walking up to our place. Stig and their staff offer to drive you up and down the steep path to town and the beach if you don't wish to walk. The staff was lovely, friendly and accommodating. We ordered food at their restaurant for 2 meals and it was delicious and well priced both time. Thank you Stig for an amazing experience!!

Very peaceful and idyllic. Beautiful area, surrounded by jungle. Friendly and helpful staff - great accommodation and pool. They accommodated us for an extra few days, as we fell in love with the islands laid back, tranquil feel after experiencing hectic Koh Samui. The walk to the town takes approximately 10 minutes and is very easy. Boat trips to Bottle Beach and snorkelling are well worth taking. Would come back again and again if the flights were cheaper!

We loved staying in the bungalow, at the suan sawan resort. The view from the bungalow is beautiful, the staff and owner are nice and friendly people, we liked the small scale and the personal contact. The swimming pool is great, location is super, in walking distance of beach and village with restaurants and shops. A relaxed atmosphere.. We can not think of a reason not to come here:-)

Erik place is in a really good position,5 min walking from a beautiful beach and in a quiet area of kohpangan!The accomodation is good and the garden is realy great!The house could be more clean but is ok.Erik was really helpfully and nice!I suggest this location to everyone!

We loved it here and even extended our stay :) David was a brilliant host that helped us with everything that we needed. Only con may be the little hike from the beach to the rooms but it's ok. Just be careful driving up if you choose to rent a scooter (which I highly recommend to explore the island). Other than that: enjoy!

Retreat not completed But great so far

This room is great for 1 traveler or a couple. The hospitality from the staff and the front desk is absolutely PHENOMENAL- they are there for your every request, are great cooks, and arranged for our travel arrangements which were seamless. We enjoyed the shower although it took us awhile to realize that the secondary shower head was the one that featured hot water contrary to my assumptions that it would be the overhead, luxurious looking one. Be prepared for steep driveways and several steps. Be aware that the roof is made of thatched palm leaves and throughout the night we had to listen to rats run around and squeak which was somewhat discomforting; this unit is in the jungle, though, so I guess interactions with wildlife are to be expected.

Had a fantastic trip! The rooms were very clean, on arrival we had a problem with the stairs leading upto our room and the showers were not working but the staff were very helpful and fixed the problem immediately. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet get away!

As a couple this was thailand's simple, easy accommodation with a view that is stunning! The view from your room and verandah is so beautiful as it is from the top pool! The rooms are comfortable but very simple, but as a young couple we weren't planning on spending too much time in the room, we were at the pool, the beach, in town eating or getting massages, diving with H2O-it's a great part of Koh phangan- a wonderful sleepy town with lots of great food, massages. It's far away from the parties at haad rin and Ying and her staff were absolutely wonderful, very friendly and helpful. There is a a hill to go down to the beach or town, which means a walk up when you are finished! You get fit!we didn't mind the walks- for the price of a room with the view it was great. When we didn't feel like walking, we would let Ying know and sometimes if the car hadn't left, we got a lift into town, if we had finished our evening meal in town we could call Ying and arrange a pick up which was lovely!

The rooms were beautiful and the view was absolutely amazing. Stig and his staff were very helpful and immediately made us feel at home. I definitely recommend staying there when Koh Phangan!

Séjour tout simplement parfait ! Merci à Stig et toute son équipe ! à recommander les yeux fermés. à bientôt !

A great, secluded spot on the eastern side of the island. The house is beautifully appointed with stunning views over the sea. There is a direct route down to swim from the rocks below bhf it was too rough while we were there. A sandy beach with a ciuple of restaurants and huts is a 10 minute walk through the jungle and across some rocks. We were very well looked after from the fantastic food to the taxiing around the island. The housekeeper looked after us brilliantly. In all a great stay.

Staying with Dominic was wonderful. He and Ai helped us and toke care of us with every little thing. They make sure we had enything we want including amazing food, laundry, cleaning and a good atmosphere. The villa itself is in excellent condition, clean and tidy, and most importantly looks just like the pictures! Which surprised even us ... we were 3 couples in the villa and we did not want to leave! The experience was great. We definitely highly recommend for families or friends to stay with Dominic- an experience you will not forget. Hope to return there very soon! Thank you for everything(:

THE LOCATION: This place is located away from towns and habitation and very peaceful. This might give the impression that the place is only good for couples or families or people wanting to have some quite time. But we were a group of friends looking to party and we had the best time of our lives. The approach is a bit tricky on the dirt road and I would suggest relying on the host to provide you transport rather than bringing your own vehicle. THE PROPERTY: This place is the single most beautiful property I have ever seen. The place is every bit as beautiful as shown in the pictures. But it is often said that the devil is in the details. The detailing to build this place is what surprised us. For example the corner of the platform within the pool had a curved edge so that no one gets hurt. Without a doubt, a must stay. THE HOST: Warm and helpful. Dominic on our arrival welcomed us and gave us a brief tour. He was kind enough to show us the way to the restaurants and beach nearby. One night there was no power to the place and we wanted to call the care taker (Eye) to look into it. Dominic got into action immediately and there was light in 5 minutes. SPECIAL MENTION: Eye (care taker) - What a human. She helped us every step of the way. Be it going to the town, getting bikes or finding good areas to shop and eat, she helped us immensely. The dirt road is quite tricky, which you should expect before booking the place. However, don’t be discouraged by that since the property is absolutely worth the effort.

Dominic was very accommodating to our needs even before my group's arrival - he was prompt in responding and was always very helpful. The house is amazing with breathtaking views! It was unfortunate that a typhoon hit the island and we experienced a landslide as soon as we arrived. We had limited power and were unable to enjoy some of the amenities like A/C and wifi, but the place was great regardless. The location is secluded and close by to a beach. Would definitely stay here again!

The Villa was amazing- breathtaking views and a great open layout to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. The housekeeper Eye was super helpful and resourceful and arranged everything that we needed for our trip, promptly and efficiently !

My three girlfriends and I had a great time at the Villa! We had been looking forward to this part of our travels for months. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy being on an island in a jungle. We had been traveling for a couple weeks and we were relieved to finally make it to a beautiful, peaceful, remote place where we were able to relax from the stresses of travel. The pool is perfect and overlooks the gorgeous ocean. The beach is a short walk away. The ocean is down the stairs outside. And as remote as it is, we were offered many options of transportation from the lovely staff! The chef cooks fantastic meals and provides great advice for things to do, how to get there, etc. She booked us a snorkeling tour and our ferry tickets when we were ready to leave. Lovely people, lovely place. We enjoyed it very much.

This place is WAY better than the pictures. Beautiful house, wonderful, private location and lovely staff. Make sure to utilize the on site cooking, it is amazing! We LOVED staying here and will be back. I can't recommend it enough. Also, check out the bar right up the road, Hide on High. Great views!

If you're looking for a vacation to get away from it all this is the place to go. The house is very secluded, pretty much in the jungle but with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The staff is very nice and helpful, and if you order an in house meal it is delicious. There is also a restaurant that cooks delicious home made dishes with an awesome view within walking distance. The only thing I would recommend for others to keep in mind is how secluded the house is (unless that's what you're looking for), bugs, and the wifi isn't too accessible from the rooms. But overall, it is a beautiful place with an awesome view. If you just want to kick back and relax - come here ! I would comeback myself.

This resort was lovely. Quiet beach setting. Rarely more than 10 people on the whole beach, though we stayed in the slow season. The room was quaint. It is an older resort, but well maintained and the staff was amazing.... friendly and helpful. The restaurant served both Thai and Indian food, which was a pleasant surprise. The internet was a bit spotty in our room...and forced us to disconnect which we actually appreciated. We just went to the bar when we wanted a stable connection. The resort is about a 35 minute drive from the ferry pier, and so once we arrived we didn't leave again for 4 days. We did take a quick boat ride to a neighboring beach that was a bit more lively. If you are looking for a quiet spot, void of drunk tourists and loud music...this is the place for you!

We had a perfect stay at Havana resort. Lovely room, lovely beach and pool, super helpful and friendly staff. We definitely recommend!

The host canceled this reservation 104 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Beautiful home in a quiet location! Very easy access to the beach and everything nearby within steps. The host was very easy to communicate with and always quick with responding! Would definitely love to stay here again!!!

We stayed for 4 nights and it was great days living here. Splendid house with beautiful sea view, 5 mins from the beach. 3 bedrooms with spacious bathrooms in each, huge living room and kitchen fully equipped. The house is located near one of the most beautiful beaches on Phangan in quiet area. Ian was always on line and answered quickly. His assistance - Noos was really helpful and beyond all our expectations in solving all our problems. Highly recommended.

Nice villa not far from one of the best beach on the island.
