About the hotel:
Green Papaya is fantastic, if you are looking for a relaxing week of sitting by the pool and doing some low key snorkeling, this is the place. The service was fantastic, very friendly. I was there over four years ago and the staff remembered me by name, that s pretty impressive. Great little bungalows surrounding a nice pool, you won t be disappointed! Say hi to Mr. Tong!

Massage is too expensive, no wonder nobody bookes massages at Green Papaya Resort. You find good and low-priced massages on the beach. We had the family bungalow. The shower was in a bad condition - would urgently need renovation.

About the hotel:
Very laid back. Rather overpriced, when you book at normal rates, but nice that they allow 4 people (2 kids + 2 adults)in the same room. Late stayers had much better deals. Rooms are OK, the pool area is nice (the pool is the largest on the beach, but the staff could not keep it clean/usable). Beach is not god, the coral-reef you can reach from the shore is NOT very alive. But the sunset IS very beautiful. I don t think I will come back.

About the reservation service:
Worked fine, but it should be stated more clearly, that when booking Green Papaya deposit and total payment are NOT refundable - you cannot regret anything.

About the hotel:
When booking this accommodation we were quite concerned at the variety of reports from very good to very bad. Having stayed in Koh Samui for 7 nights before in a luxury resort,we were quite concerned at the hotel s mention that it too was meant to be luxury although we would rate as only a 3 star. The resort is old and the rooms do need attention. We had one of the most expensive rooms and did not believe it was value for money, eg. the front door had a gap of around 1 inch around the frame which meant that all the mosquitos came in and there was no mosquito coils provided; the bedside lamps were broken and linen on bed ws not changed every day (towels were). The electricity continually malfunctioned & as it was over 34 temp & humidity over 100%, we were ready on the first day to check out and not worry about the lost money. However speaking to a couple of other guests we decided to stay on. The staff, whilst english is limited, are very friendly which is a plus; the pool is lovely and the fact that it was low season was very good for a quite relaxed time which is what we wanted. We had 2 breakfasts there but they certainly do not come up to standard, hence we missed one and as we had an early check out the staff made us a sandwich to take on the run, which was appreciated. We did not eat any meals there in the evening as the selection at the other resorts was much better, and the ambience at other resorts as well was more enticing. Would we go back? No. However when visiting this island and the resorts, you need to understand and have the expectation that it will never be as up-to-date and modern as the bigger holiday destinations like Pukhet or Samui. If your intention it to get away from the hustle & bustle and just completely chill out, then Koh Phangen and these type of resorts are fine...however I believe they are over priced for what you get elsewhere.

About the hotel:
Well, i would doubt to go there another time, it seems too much overpriced (i would pay 2500 max, not 4600), the hotel looks old, service is ignorant, reception is sleeping, nobody there at all time. But what was most disgusting in Green Papaya - is the beach (Salad Beach). There is almost no beach, the beach on the advertising picture is made with photoshop!!! in reality - small line of sand, and a lot of green-seaweed stones in the sea all along the beach, and the waters look like a puddle... But in general it is very very quite, jungle-style located hotel with birds singing. So if you like to sleep all day long and swim in the pool - its your place, if you like to be on the beautiful beach and swim in the sea - go to Thong Nai Pan Noi - to Panviman Resort (apprx 5000 Bt / night) WHICH DESERVES THIS MONEY 100%. From Salad beach - we had to take a bike to Chaloklum, then taxi boat (2000bt round trip on boat), so that to relax on the most betiful beaches - Thong Nai Pang Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai!
