"The property is just stunning!! Wake up to your own private pool looking out to the Gulf of Thailand! The space was huge and very clean. Excellent facility!"

"We stayed here 18 years ago on our honeymoon and have returned with our children. All I can say is that this place is a slice of heaven and even better than I remember it with the most attentive staff, we can honestly not fault a single one of them from the front security who I think may be the smiliest person I have ever met to the cleaners, the pool staff the buggy drivers, the spa staff and front desk. Too many to name them all but thanks especially to Donut for our tour arrangements and Soi for the most fabulous spa day and Torn for the fabulous cocktails at the pool bar. The rooms are lovely and clean, the food is amazing especially all the fresh fruit and smoothies. The breakfast is fabulous. The gardens are beautifully kept and the yoga session was worth getting up for. I’m running out of superlatives but this is truly a special place. It is a little more out of the way which is part of its charm but taxis are pretty cheap and we hired a car for a few days to go further afield. Thank you to all the Tongsai Bay team for a wonderful holiday "

"Everything was perfect"

"Had a fantastic private pool villa with ocean view looking at Koh Phan-Ngan. Doesn't get much better. Great staff. Private beach and quiet/safe surroundings. Villa BY8"

"Incredible service start to finish, the breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had, the resort is beautiful and well maintained. "

"Our GEM made our stay so relaxing and all our needs were taken care of. The treatments at the spa were expensive but dreamlike, we had 4 unforgettable treatments. The view was stunning. The breakfast food was 5/5. The buffet was marvellous, with an a la carte included. The hotel's accessibility could be improved. Not every staircase had a handrail. "

"Really well looked after by all the staff and our villa hosts Lee and Janine. Would definitely visit again had a great relaxing time."

"This property is a gem! So clean, had bikes available to help us get to places, staff was so friendly. Arranged hotel pick up and drop off. Massage services were amazing. A bit pricey. "

"We were a family of 4 staying in a two bed villa. The villa was so spacious, we loved the outdoor living area. Well equipped and pool towela provided. The kids loved our private pool aswell as the big communal pool (we were often the only ones in it). The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was conviently next to a quiet beach which was great for sunset walks. Some nice local thai places to eat within walking distance too. The big buddha is a 20min walk or short taxi ride away. The only thing I'd highlight is that the two bedrooms are not connected and are essentially seperate builds with the pool inbetween. As we were travelling with small children (under 6), we didn't feel comfortable leaving them in their own room across the pool where we couldnt hear them, and also concerned we wouldn't want them trying to walk to our room in the night and accidently fall in the pool. Instead we just slept 1 adult, 1 child in each room, which was fine but just not what we had anticipated when booking a 2 bedroom villa. I'm sure older children would be fine, but thought it was worth highlighting to other families of small children."
