About the hotel:
We felt that Loyfa was severely over priced for the New Years season and insisted on a minimum stay of 7 days. We wished we had waited to get to Koh Phangnan to find a place to stay as there were loads of places that weren t featured on the popular accomodation websites that still advertised vacancies and seemed to have better/nicer/more suitable facilities.
Room was as described but wasn t cleaned once in our 7 day stay. The bungalows are situated in a very peaceful area of the island but it definitely means you have to hire a motorbike or use a lot of (expensive) taxi s to get around. Unfortunately Loyfa didn t have enough bikes available for the demand of it s customers so we had to hire one from other places near by.
The beaches are not incredibly idyllic but then again not many on the island appear to be. There is a large fishing boat dock to the right of the bungalows which is shown on maps as beach...it s not.
We were made to feel a bit guilty for not eating in the bungalow restaurants regularly with comments such as we ve not seen you in a long time and similar.
On the upside, the owners were friendly and made an effort to remember our names and their onward journey booking service was very good.
About the reservation service:
Not as easy to use as other websites as it required constant emails to inquire about availabilities, although, the booking seemed to be fine once we found a suitable place to stay.

About the hotel:
Over priced (we booked the basic standard)
The room was filthy - stunk of algea
in the 4 nights booked there did not have bedding or towels changed once, or the room cleaned
We were over run by ants - I don t just mean 1 or 2, but 1000 s. About 5 times each day we were trying to clear them out of the bathroom with water.
We asked to move rooms but was booked up until our last night & then we managed to move, but had to pay extra for the privaledge. The room was better but the door was not safe & didn t lock properly.
The private beach isn t great & we walked the 20mins to the main beach which is much cleaner.
We couldn t wait to leave this place & will never go back.

About the hotel:
When you arrive at Loyfa you are greeted with the warmest smile and the most accomodating and helpfull service. Safety is important for many travellers and the people here have created an atmosphere of comfort and ease where you can truely relax. So much so, that it really feels like home from home. The cheaper wooden bungalows are nice with double bed, shower and toilet, not to mention the balconies outside where you laze in a hammock and become mesmorised by the stunning views. There are more expensive bungalows with all mod cons on Loyfa s very own private beach. The snorkelling is also good around here! The restaraunt has some of the most spectacular views from the island and watching the sun set from here is a must! Also, the food is excellent and the staff will cater to your specific needs. Lofa is a magical place filled with good spirits and amazingly kind-hearted people. We will keep coming back!

About the hotel:
Very freidnly staff and good food at the restaurant. Nice little beach to sunbathe on. Bungalows are clean but basic but ok for the price, in a nice quiet location with a few shops and bars near by but is a pain if you want to go to Haad Rin Or Thong Sala as it takes agaes to get there and back and you have to pay for txis all the time, all in all though great stay and would definatley come back again!

About the hotel:
There are no place like home, people use too say. I would like to say- there are no place like Loyfa. Mr Loy and his staff are absolutely some of the nicest people i ever met. The place are so beautifully located. You have the nicest view from the restaurant and your own veranda. The bungalows are clean and there are lot of space even in the small ones. All thou, I miss a closset were I can hid my belongings. The service is absolutly top standard. The food is great and you feel as you are part of the family. There is a private beach and the water is very clean, but I think the beach would need to be cleaned up a bit. What ever you need, they fix it for you. I wish I was better in english, so I REALLY could tell you all about this absolut Paradise I found at Loyfa. I will bee back many times and will tell all my friends about this place. See you again in November, Mr Loy.

Hotel pictures and facilities
Loyfa Nature Resort a has 20 rooms and a big plot of land with
its own small beach and a full variety of different bungalows, mostly on
the hillside, some on the beach, all with great views. You can rent fair-sized
rooms with fans, concrete ones with seaviews and there are some larger bungalows
on the beach. All bungalows come with private bathroom, seaviews, balcony
and a friendly smile.
Laem Srithanu is a volcanic island that has been joined to Koh Phangan by
a strip of coconut pasture that meets with the village of Srithanu. It has
formed a fertile peninsula that lies between the bays of Ao Hin Kong and
Ao Srithanu, thus the small and secluded beaches that populate its coastline
are closer to the coral reef, leading to virtually year round swimming.
At low tide its possible to circum-navigate Laem Srithanu and find your
own little piece of paradise, perfect for secluded sunbathing or finding
a good spot for fishing off the rocks.
There is a laid back and unique atmosphere to the area, partly as Laem Srithanu
is almost its own island and because there are only five resorts on the
peninsula. Quiet though it is, action is not far away in the 'mainland'
village of Srithanu, only a 500-metre walk through the coconut groves.
:: ACCOMMODATION ::
Loyfa Nature Resort is a family-run bungalow resort and the business has been running for years, so you can expect a warm welcome and excellent standards. The resort is bang on top of the mountain with panoramic views around Srithanu
bay. The bungalows are all well-spaced and set around lush tropical gardens to keep a feeling of privacy.

Most are suitable for up to 2 people, but there are a few larger bungalows
with 2 beds that can take between 3-4 people.
