Sea Rock Hotel

Had the most amazing stay here!! My happy place, beautiful hotel- lovely, clean rooms, nice pool, the most spectacular views of the sunset, comfy bed, great location, really friendly staff. Lucky enough to stay here for 2 months in total, 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back here every time I visit koh phangan.

I booked a room in the Sea Rock Hotel for 3 days for the full moon, I booked it on week before my trip, when I arrived there on the full moon day, after waiting 20 minutes waiting alone at the reception... The woman at the reception told me that she gave my room to someone else because she dont like "Booking" (internet booking website), so I was there on the most busy day of the month with my lugages and no room, she showed me another room in another hotel but the room was a small bungalow with no aircon no wifi and no bedsheet... After 10 minutes she started to screaming at me because I was not okay with the situation, I got no apologies, no refund (she didnt want to cancel the reservation on booking either...). At the end I had to call Booking for help, they canceled my reservation and gave her a warning but I had to found another hotel on the most busy day of the year. Also the place is far from everything and on a hill, one there you have no choice but taxi (if you are lucky enough to find one), I definitly dont recommend this place.

Pros The staff were very friendly, we arrived early and the woman who welcomed us looked after our bags while we went our for lunch. The bed was comfy and the room was quite quirky. The pool was really good and there wasn't a load of rooms so you didn't feel like it was overcrowded. You can see the sunset from your balcony or in the pool! Cons The hotel didn't have their restaurant open which was fine for us as we had bikes but it is about 2km into the centre of Thong Sala for those of you with no transport, though there are always Songtaews going by. Could use more sun lounges by the pool as the only one there is broken. Overall - really lovely place to stay but would recommend having your own bike to get around.
