About the hotel:
My partner and I spent 5 nights at the Milky Bay resort and would probably choose to stay elsewhere if we came back to Koh Phangan. Mainly because the beach is not very nice. The water is cloudy and rough, and there is only a small amount of sand available at low tide. The North West of the Island has beautiful beaches with crystal clear aqua blue water. I would recommend staying at Haad Salad as it is not as shallow as some of the other beaches up that end of the Island. We stayed in a standard bungalow that was small, dark and full of mosquitoes. Cracks in the walls, floors and breather holes in the bathroom mean that mosquitoes get into your room constantly and they are the biggest mosquitoes I have ever seen! Make sure they have installed a mosquito net over the bed for you! The bathroom is traditional with the shower over the toilet, weak water pressure and no where to hang your towels to dry that won t get wet. There wasn t even a toilet roll holder! No wardrobe, in room safe or drying rack was provided. We received two bottles of drinking water each day and breakfast was ok. You get tea/coffee and juice plus choice from about 7 meals on the menu. (Muesli, pancakes, french toast, eggs, bacon, tomato

About the hotel:
This was our first time on Koh Pha ngan so we weren t sure where to stay. This resort wasn t our first choice but we booked it late during the high season so.. Overall this is a decent place to stay. I never felt like there were any scams or untrustworthy people around. By far the best thing was the pizza at the resort restaurant - fantastic brick oven pizza! Staff were very friendly and tried to help. In fact on dissappointment was that Anita (F&B manager?) helped make arrangements for us to rent a jetski and said everything was set. The jetski never showed (we waited on the very small beach 20 minutes BEFORE the agreed meet time and 1 hour afterwards). Anita told me she called them and they would come and just wait but again it never arrived. Then, I had to go find her on the resort and when I did she said basically sorry. They are all booked and can t come . Absolutely unacceptable service! Horrible customer service when you basically promised to have a jetski meet us at noon and then basically forget about us. If you can t come through on something then don t promise to make it happen. We could have saved ourselves the trouble and booked it off your property on our own instead of waiting all day on your promise and then losing out all together by the afternoon. The resort property is kind of interesting since it is well hidden in the trees and bushes. I actually thought it was nice to keep it more natural like that but I didn t like the shredded bark that was used as surfacing for the entire grounds. It was horrible if you dropped a towel or bag since the shredded bark was like glue - it stuck to everything! it also wasn t the nicest thing to walk on barefooted - it poked your feet like sharp needles. The beach was also very very narrow - not much sand. The water was nice enough though. This resort is not far from the pier so getting there was easy. I would recommend staying to the north on the island, for example at Haad Mae - much nicer there but not sure of the price, etc. We rented a scooter and rode around to other beaches and saw nicer places. Still, this is not a bad place to stay but there are some things that could be improved.

About the hotel:
Milky Bay is in a great location if your wanting to go to the Half Moon Party. If your after a quiet place, I would not recommend it. The food was great, and the beach beautiful. Unfortunately while we were there we had no water, and some of the other rooms had no electricity. Our request for a discount was denied despite not being able to shower during our stay.

About the hotel:
This is a great resort; it has very friendly, helpful staff and super activities like the table tennis table and free pool table. The swimming pool is big and refresghingly cool. The sea is unswimmable but the beachj is pretty. The food in the restaurant is lovely, if a little pricey. The pizza nights when the stone oven is fired up is worth a try. Overall a lovely stay and we would recommend it.
