Other comments about the hotel: coco gardens is a fantastic place to stay when you are on koh phangan.its ten minutes from the main town and only a 100baht taxi to the main party beach of haad rin. The staff there are bloody brilliant as are all the locals who drink at the very homly beachside tiki hut bar. The barman Pi Lek is a diamond geezer who makes one mean white russian. Lee, the owner is one of the nicest people you ll meet, helping you out in whatever way he can. And Adian... well, you ll know adi, hes the funny, charming, helpful, shin kicking, hobbit tossing 2nd owner. He is always drinking away or chewing on his cocktail sticks... you ll warm to him for sure! if you re travelling alone or in a group coco garden is the place to be but dont go this christmas... Cus i want to go back and i dont want it booked up!! :) peace!

Other comments about the hotel: The shower had no pressure, the bed had springs sticking out and kept jabbing my leg during the night. Also when I tried to book a ferry to Koh samui through the hotel, they would only book with one company, even though there are about 3, the company they would book with, the hotel told us they had sold out of tickets. We tried to get our own with the same ferry company and got them no problem without a fuss! Great if you have to stay there, but there are other cheaper options along the beach that were just as nice!

Other comments about the hotel: Ich fands toll und sehr charmant hier. Allerdings würde ein Waschbecken, das gerade hängt und nicht abgebrochen an der Wand baumelt den Do-it-Yousrself-Charme auch nicht mildern. Aber für das Geld okay und die Lage und die Bar sind sehr schön und entspannt!!

Other comments about the hotel: There is only one word to describe our time at coco gardens and that is awesome!!! Service was perfect, all the staff there are really nice and helpful. Food was great, cocktails were great, and the fry up in the morning went some way to curing our hangovers :). We will come back one day.... Keely and Phil

Other comments about the hotel: Coco Gardens by far is one of the best places to stay on the west side of Thailand. The staff are so helpful and the rooms are of a high standard. I stayed for 10 days over Christmas and wished I could have stayed for more. You d be mad not to try this little gem out. Room 101 is the aircon ed top bungalow and well worth the price. Ady. Lee and Thai the owners cannot make you feel more welcome. Try it and see. Happy holidays.

How was the booking process handled?: Everything went through very quickly and smoothly, recommended. ThailandHotels-24.com put me through to the owners and then i was in email contact with them regarding queries and concerns. VERY GOOD SERVICE.
Other comments about the hotel: the bungalows are great, you step off your balcony and you are on the beach. The room is simple, but sturdy, clean and well kept. the restaurant serves amazing (and cheap) food from 8-10. the beach bar is the place to be at night if you want to escape the lunacy at Haad Rin, the local bar flies make for entertainment and good conversation and the owners (Adrian and Lee) make excellent drinking buddies (If you can keep up with you). I would highly recommend Coco Gardens to anyone, whether you are full mooning or not. Just far enough away from Haad Rin to not goet bothered or robbed but to still have some amazing night life. Lek also makes the best Mai Tais on the island! Cheers Guys, see you again soon!

How was the booking process handled?: Excellent and easy to use, very quick response to booking request and emails. No problem.
Other comments about the hotel: Free and easy with convenient location at reasonable price. I chose here in the base of my first PhaNgan stay. In order to be accustomed to the island, I stayed for 4 days. Here was close to the town of Thong Sala and to the village of Baan Tai, there was a beach, location calls and comparatively, I think very reasonable. It was THB850 at the bungalow of air conditioner attaching double bed. Because a little there was a distance from main road, it was very quiet and cozy. The hammock which is hung in the terrace feeling very comfortable. My bungalow most was the inner part from the beach, but because it was facing the beach, when the curtain is opened, feeling good for the beach to be visible. When I walked to 7/11, because well enough there was a distance, it was more comfortable to have a motorcycle. The motorcycle was THB200 per day. The bike man was very kind, he transferred me to the next hotel placing me at the rear seat. If difficult point was said, in the room only one shelves of rattans and bed not to be at all, and especially there is no refrigerator it was harsh to me. WIFI at only the restaurant was available. It didn’t fly to the room. The beach was shallow, cannot swim. When the tide pulled, could walk rather to the distance to the sea. Staffs were all kind, but a little shy. I would like to stay again.

How was the booking process handled?: No problems whatsoever. Super easy, efficient and completely accurate.
Other comments about the hotel: I went to Coco Garden with my wife and a friend of ours for two nights - to attend the Half Moon Party. We were so pleased with our choice. The air conditioned bungalows we stayed in were clean, charming and simply furnished. Exactly what we needed and had hoped for. The rest of the resort was a delight. The staff are just lovely and the beachfront bar was a great place to congregate and loosen up before the party with a few cocktails and beers. The restaurant served yummy Thai food with a smile and the setting was just beautiful. I guess, as others have mentioned, the beach was a bit of a letdown but not such a big deal that I would not stay here again. Apparently the tidal problem only happens a few weeks of the year and honestly, it didn t bother us that much. A great resort on a lovely island - we will definitely return. Thanks Adrian, Lee, Tai and all the other great people running the place. David, Chryss and Gill.

Other comments about the hotel: The location is great. Staff is vey pleasant and the restaurant provides good food in a very pleasant setting. The rooms (we had a fan room facing the beach) was very basic but perfect for a place to sleep. A fridge is the room will be nice. Will stay at Coco Gardens again. Dave Engelbrecht - South Africa

Other comments about the hotel: A great place!! Always music on the beach, fantastic cocktails (the best blue sex on the beach I ve ever drunk!), kind people...All was perfect, just one thing : the simple bungalows with fan were not really confortable, really tiny and the fan was broken (impossible to turn).But it s nothing compare to the rest.Thanks Coco Garden, my best souvenir on Koh PhaNgan!!

How was the booking process handled?: Very good
Other comments about the hotel: Fan rooms are very basic but the price charged is very fair. Our room was in an excellent location very close to the sea. The resort is only a 15 min walk from the pier but the taxis are a rip off. If your bag isn t too heavy simply walk to the end of the pier, turn right and walk along the road. Situated opposite the tapas bar.

How was the booking process handled?: The booking service of ThailandHotels-24.com was watertight as usual
Other comments about the hotel: The bungalows are very basic, the location is ok. I moved out after 2 nights,because there is no water in the sea! Low tide all day long and sharp stones everywhere as you try to scramble somehow in the water. Simply not enjoyable. I wouldn t recommend this place to anybody, surely not in February.
