Golf Hotels & Resorts in Ko Pha-ngan from NZ$243

"We have travelled extensively, and this is by far one of the nicest resorts we have ever been to. We had an ocean view room that was extremely spacious. The bathroom was huge. And the view was absolutely spectacular. The service at this resort is second to none. Though many of the staff speak very broken English, they try very hard to understand and accommodate your every need. We absolutely adored them. The breakfast was the best we had in Thailand just a massive selection and so fresh. One of our favourite activities was at the restaurant beds overlooking the ocean. Just enjoying a beer and Thai meal in the evening was perfection. The lounge chairs by the beach were quiet and peaceful. And the pool is stunning. Unfortunately, while we were there, there was an obnoxiously loud group of adults that basically took over the pool area, smoking and yelling at one another across the pool while we were there. It pretty much chased everyone out out of the pool area because they were so annoying. The staff would kindly ask them to stop smoking and they would just go and do it anyway. Not a big deal though as everyone just found other beautiful spots to hang out. The bathrooms are open air. At least the one we were in was- expect a few bits of nature appearing on the floors - leaves and such. It was an easy trade-off though because the open air shower it was divine. Also, if you are a light sleeper, make sure you have your plugs. The birds are up early! Also, the gym was great. "

"We loved our short stay at Buri Rasa. Such a special place in Koh Phangan. We visited and stayed all over the island and this resort is by far the classiest. Having said that, this is ‘sanitised’ Koh Phangan (only ONE cannabis shop we spied in the village, as opposed to the customary ‘every other shop’ experience!) and we absolutely loved our very different, more authentic stay just before at Secret Beach Bungalows. But Buri Rasa is delightful on lots of levels (staff, stylish rooms, nice breakfast, great happy hour with fabulous cocktail waiters)…and a great choice for families with children. We came with our 16 year old and were glad to escape the cannabis shops for a few days! Fabulous resort "
