Hotels in Ban Phe

This was our family's first ever Xmas abroad and Pandora made it the best Xmas ever! The rooms were spacious and perfect for our family of 5 (2 Adults, 3 kids aged 10, 8 and 4 and would be cleaned, with fresh towels provided, whenever we asked, daily if needed. The 2 pools offered variety and activity for the kids which meant that some days we didn't need to leave the resort. The staff were very...

I would like to sincerely thank Zane for his incredible hospitality. This is without a doubt the best hotel in Koh Samet in terms of value for money. I stay here every time I visit the island, and I would not choose anywhere else. The staff is extremely, extremely kind and welcoming — there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything is always perfect. Highly recommended, and I will definitely...

Great resort, tucked out of the way but within easy reach to restaurants & bars. Stunning beaches a few hundred metres away staff are super friendly & helpful. Rooms need a little tlc.

We’ve stayed at Pandora on Koh Samet several times now, and it never disappoints. I’ve been here with my children when they come to visit me in Thailand, and then again in November with my auntie and uncle — every visit has been wonderful. The service is outstanding, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The food is very good, with plenty of choice, and the pools are great,...

Suitable for relaxing, quiet, playing in the water in the resort. And you can call a car to go to the nearby beach. Overall, it's a great place to relax.

Undoubtedly, one of the best place and best resort. Staffs are very friendly. The island is ver very quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a pure relaxation and picturesque environment then the place is perfect for you. However, we enjoyed our stay. Love the resort.

Lovely stay here. Rooms are clean, they did a honeymoon upgrade for us for free since requested and it was Valentine's day. Friendly helpful and polite staff, very complete continental breakfast, and such a great private location! Just far enough away from public access, but not too far. Rooms aren't 5 star for sure, they are more towards the budget side, but for the price it's a really great deal...

The hotel is good, even excellent for its price. The staff are friendly, thank you. We'll be back again.

We have stayed here twice during the New Year period last year and this year. Our family really likes this place because it feels very private and peaceful. Although there are not many staff members, the service is good and they are helpful and accommodating. The rooms are a bit old-style, but it is not a problem for us. The other food is acceptable, but the highlight is the very fresh seafood. See...

My family stayed here during the New Year holidays and really enjoyed it. Even though the hotel was fully booked, it never felt crowded. The place is spacious, clean, and beautiful. This hotel is perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay. Some areas look a bit old, but everything is well maintained. Breakfast was good, especially the fried dough sticks. We would definitely come back again.

Beautiful location the hotel needs updating. The rooms are vintage 90s, my shower leaked. Stingy with the towels and toiletries. There's a 50/50 chance you'll have someone nice from staff! The beach is fabulous though.

We really enjoyed the peaceful and mesmerizing view from the 7th floor room's balcony. The sea, the resort's private beach and the walking wooden bridge, massive area open sky and more, felt like the beat holiday. The resort might be. But old but it holds the tradition to treat it's Costumer well. Grey hospitality and food was good. No crowd, no hassle, just relaed nd the se water was clean as well...

Simple and quiet hotel. The pool is fantastic!!!

The breakfasts were excellent, the place was quiet, the room was clean, overall I liked everything.

Excellent, suitable for a family vacation. Breakfasts are very good and delicious. The location is 2 km from the city center.

Great family hotel if you do not spend time at the beaches on the opposite side of island. Otherwise you need a transport to get there and back. If you plan to spend time in calm and observe a bay from your balcony - that's a perfect place Great pool, Delicious breakfast. Clean rooms. What is missing - No Gym. Even though they have a building for that.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and can highly recommend it. The rooms were very clean, modern, and comfortable, with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was excellent, and the room was quiet, allowing for great sleep.

The accommodation was clean, the bed was soft, and the atmosphere was very nice and quiet. Perfect for relaxation.

Great locations with affordable price. The beach is across the street!

The hotel is located across the road from the sea, about 100 meters away. The rooms are small, detached bungalows, approximately 25-30 sq.m. If you turn right from the hotel, there's a 7/11 store about 100 meters down. Opposite the hotel and to the left, you'll find many cafes and a seafood market. The beach isn't very clean, especially after the evening low tide. We stayed for 3 nights. I can recommend...

Clean, safe, and the room cleaning and reception service were excellent. The accommodation is located on the main road but is quiet. Food and drinks are easy to find, and it's close to a 7-11.

The rooms are individual houses, so I was able to relax outside listening to music and drinking beer until late at night. The rooms were also clean and I think it was a great place to stay. When I checked in at 3pm, I was told that my bath towels were not yet dry.

Everything was great. The view was lovely, it was peaceful and private, just a short walk across the road from the beach, and close to a 7-Eleven.

The location is excellent. It's close to convenience stores and a seafood market, and the accommodation is right across from the beach.

1 star for service !!! The reason is 1. Bad service and bad facilities, the reception in evening bad service and bad communication, not help or try to help the guest 2. The room bad smell and small, the price is not value for service 3. The promotions that booked in trip and booked directly from hotel is not same promotion. The good thing in this hotel that is scenic view and near the beach only...

It's a decent place to spend the night. Nothing to worry about. You'll sleep soundly.

First time staying on Koh Samet! I chose this place because of its great beachfront location. When I arrived, stepping out of the room, I was right on a beautiful beach. The staff provided good service (though a little more smiling would be nice!). The room itself was clean, but there were a few spots with cobwebs. For breakfast, there was a good variety of options, including fruit. I recommend staying...

Good hotel. The breakfast was delicious and varied. Very friendly staff. I recommend it.

The rooms are good, breakfast is delicious, and the staff provide great service. Overall, it's okay. 🤩👍 (My only complaint is that the toilet tank in the room below was broken and smelled bad, which ruined the atmosphere.)

A quiet place to stay with beautiful views and a private beach, perfect for a private getaway. The food was also delicious.

Across the road from the beach with a very low price so location is fantastic. Rooms are clean and large but check that everything works before getting comfortable.

The hotel is a bit older than expected. The curtains in the room fell. Good thing that across the road there is a beach. Good view of the beach, convenient.

The room was not clean, the balcony had bird droppings. Bitten by an insect from the bed

Overall very good. Anyone who wants to find peace and comfort, I recommend this place.

I was in this hotel with friends 8 years ago and wanted to return. I was surprised by the beach, it became very clean, but it was a garbage dump. Clear water and an ideal shore for long barefoot walks. Very few people. During this time, the hotel only deteriorated and tried without renovation, which is sad. But for the price that is now offered, it finds its guests.

I had good impressions from my stay: very friendly staff, hearty breakfasts, the location is generally cool - the beach and the sea begin across the road. It feels like the renovation and furniture are “tired,” but you quickly stop noticing it. I was very surprised by the oilcloth-covered mattresses - these are not wards for bedridden patients. But warm blankets solved this problem too. The air conditioner...

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Right on the beach but need to cross the main road. Even though it is on the road, it is very quiet in the night. Easy to sleep. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. Rooms are a bit small, price a bit high than nearby hotels. There is not enough space inside the room esp for families.

Nice little resort literally across the road from the beach. The room we took was 1700b a night which was OK for the quality of room we had. No room service which is unusual and not great. A small fridge included in the room plus a kettle and small TV if required, we never watch TV so unsure how good it is. Bathroom had a warm western styled shower but outlr room alhad a whining water system as in...

I really enjoyed my time at BayView Resort. The staff were friendly, the rooms I booked (bungalow AC and Queen Suite) were large, tidy and had all the things you need. Plus the view was fantastic in both rooms, but particularly in the queen suite. The resort is also located in a quiet location away from the fancy resort crowd so you get a different type of traveller. They also care about the environment...

I really liked staying here. I'd recommend to anyone. People were cool, it's right by a very nice beach to swim or just chill. Im sure I will be back some time again. One thing that can be improved would be the bathrooms could be cleaned more thoroughly imo.

We had a great stay at the Bayview. Bungalows are modern and very clean. We booked a family room as no twin rooms available. Large double bed and large single bed. The room was slightly cramped due to the addition of the single bed. However the doubles were fine. Beautiful gardens. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Provided us with a kettle. Prianoor gave a complimentary lunch of delicious...

Very beautiful and well-kept territory. Inside it is also cozy and clean. There is everything you need. Friendly staff. In the morning they fed us with chic sandwiches, tea, coffee available. The sea is right across the road. Clean, beautiful, with a bunch of swings. For a couple of days, an ideal place. We will come back again.

Stayed for two nights after a flight from UK and a 2 hour taxi journey, lovely quiet stay, very clean, friendly owners offered a lift into town in the evening and took us to the boat for Koh Samet the following day, very reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again. Ban Phe is a delightful fishing village if you are looking for a quiet couple of days.

So friendly staff, and nice and quiet room! Highly recommended!

We had Bungalow 6. The room was very spacious, with 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. The room is only cleaned once a week, which is a no-go. New towels are provided daily, including bottled water. There are no coffee makers in the room. Our room constantly smelled of urine. The beds are rock hard; not recommended for older people or those with back problems. It's difficult to sleep, and the...

The location is very good and the weather is not hot and shady, there are cafes and restaurants. The materials used are very good, but the only disadvantage that guests use is towels, shampoo. The mattress is very hard. Go here, you don't have to go out at all because everything is here, but the food price is quite high, but acceptable. because it is a quite famous shop young coconut kitchen But we...

Good accommodation, inexpensive, with food. Cross the road to reach the sea There are grilling equipment for rent. But should add seafood included in the set, you don't have to buy it yourself.

The environment is great! But if you're eating at the hotel, I suggest going early, as there are more mosquitoes after sunset.

It would be great if the breakfast area had a bakery section.

Quiet paradise Very good place to stay if you want something more quiet and remote from the beach scene, while being close enough to the beaches if you wish to enjoy (with transportation). Very friendly and efficient staff and a very good on-site restaurant scene

The service staff is very good. Spacious place I forgot my watch in the room and the staff followed it very quickly (I didn't even realize I had forgotten it). I really admire it. There is a car service all the time. Very good. I'll definitely have a chance to stay again.👍👍

This is a resort away from the city, so if you love shopping in air-conditioned malls, then you're going to be disappointed. The resort itself is well-equipped, but the addition of a 7 Eleven or TOPS Daily convenience store would be perfect. Otherwise, one can get easily bored in an isolated resort. The rooms are generously spacious, and we were assigned to a row overlooking the lake. It would...

The experience is very good, more locals go there. The hotel is equivalent to a large resort. It is relatively original. You can ride bicycles and row boats. The swimming pool inside is very good and children can't put it down. Not to mention Internet celebrity restaurants, the natural environment is quite good, and the food is also good.

Good location and close to the beach. Room is ok (not quite new but still clean) however there is no elevator, so it is not suitable if you come with senior people.

The hotel reminds me of a sanatorium. There aren't enough outlets in the room, and none in the bathroom. Instead of blankets, they have furry throws. The tap water smells of chlorine. Some reviews said the mattresses were very firm, but I wouldn't say so; I've slept on much firmer ones. However, the room was perfectly clean! And the grounds are very cozy, with a charming pool nestled in greenery. We...

It was a good location right on the beach and the staff were lovely felt like a family-run business but it was in quite a weird place not quite right for two girls travelling on there own and you couldn’t really go out for supper at night. But Being on the beach and by the pool during the day was great!

Everything was good. Only the noise of the pressure pump was for the whole night long.

Excellent place with friendly staff always ready to help with any issue. Great location - everything is within walking distance.

Everything you need. Big rooms. Great bed, 10 meter from the beach

Hotel was right on the beach and the staff were very helpful with booking taxis as the main area is quite a walk from the hotel

Good hotel in a quiet area with delicious breakfasts. However, the rooms weren't super clean, even though the staff tried their best. Overall, it's a great place.

Clean - Quiet - large rooms - small beach - very peaceful and friendly- swimming pool

There were simply too many bugs. Ants were crawling all over the bed, and I barely slept a wink all night. It was a very disappointing stay.

The hotel room was decent. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but you can still find restaurants nearby for meals. However, reaching the island's main center definitely requires a car.

Love the service, all staff are kind! If u looking for place to relax, recommended!

Rented 4 bedroom villa for 2 nights, having stayed here in the past. With my Thai family obtained a price, had a look, went back to the office and when they realised a farang was in the party the price increased by 400baht. c'est la Vive. Accommodation good with nice pool, with a jacuzzi. Nice and clean, but obvious building had aged. The next morning found the pump to the pool had stopped working...

Just in front the sea Unpleasant staff (apart from the security guards at the entrance who are adorable and the owner who was very available and helpful). First when we arrived, they wanted to make us pay taxes that we had already paid when booking. As said below we also found that there are thieves in their staff we had money stolen the first day by the air conditioning repairman because the safe...

There are several different kind of accomodations on this resort. We had book a big thai pool villa for the 8 of us. The villa was huge and so lovely, had all we needed. We celebrated my brother’s birthday and the party and our own cabaree show took places in our own yard. Our villa had a big yard, a great pool that we used all the time. It was not far to walk to the beach either, the beach is not...

We had a great stay,however the facilities are not the most new. The beach was great,staff very friendly and we had an overall good stay.

The condos are starting to show their age , but are well maintained and clean There is a popular restaurant right next door . The views are great depending on the floor and room position. Rayong is very quiet even now at the start of high season . Relaxing

Stayed here many times highly recommend it!

It's a beautiful resort with only 20 rooms, and very quiet. The restaurant prices are reasonable, better and cheaper than the one next door. However, it takes about 30 minutes to get to the old town and Star Market, and costs 300 THB one way. I'd like to stay there again if I have the chance.

The atmosphere is nice and peaceful, although the furniture might be a bit old.

My husband and I are leaving after a wonderful week spent at this perfect resort. BL is in a very quiet location on the beach and with a lovely pool. Ban Phe is only 6 minutes away by car … but why would you want to leave here? If you do want to investigate the area there are numerous options to easily get to the islands. Every member of staff is so helpful and cheerful. The reception staff helped...

This is the best place I've ever been to. The service is excellent. There's a restaurant inside with delicious food, and they even offer room service for dinner – fantastic service! 🥰

1) great location 2) nice pool 3) very spacious and clean room 4) nice, friendly and helpful staff 5) delicious breakfast and restaurant food

I like the accommodation. It's clean and convenient. The food is delicious and the price is not expensive. I've stayed here twice already.

The beach is across the street in front of the White@Sea. We stayed in a bungalow for 900 Baht, walk-in rate. Room is old but clean. A room in the same building with Reception cost 1000 Baht. This building looks new, has sea view and is closer to the street but I prefer the bungalow. The bed cover is blue and blanket is white. All have fresh and clean smell and they are cotton. I love that. Our room...

Great pet friendly place, lovely rooms and pool for a very fair price

Really lovely place to stay, nice staff, great rooms, net to the beach and the restraint at the front has great food. Also dog frendly.....

very clean place with big room and very friendly staff, the hotel is just if front of an important surf sopt ...very cool we will back for sure

We stayed in a 4th floor open apartment with an enclosed bedroom and outdoor table & chairs & breakfast bar. These apartments are minimalist in style. Although a little tired, their charm and sea view make them recommendable. There is no lift & the bed is low on the floor, making getting out of bed potentially tricky for anyone less able. There is a restaurant next door. The staff were very...

A real little gem of a place with nice rooms and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere in the room, like being in a tree house on the third floor. Quite magical. Right across the road from the beach (see picture) Neighbouring restaurant is also very good and they will do room service to your terrace, which is lovely by the moonlight with the sounds of the forest. Room was in good upkeep and recently painted...

We only had food there, it was nice food and reasonably priced.

The owner is cute and the food is very delicious.

The sea in front of the house is beautiful.

Excellent food and great service. Facing onto a beautiful beach. I didn’t stay in the accommodation but used the restaurant every day.

Comfortable beachfront accommodation with a restaurant in front

Stayed 1 night at Pama Resort in a two-bedroom villa. The hotel is a small complex. Simple, clean accommodation on the first coastline. Great location. Clean beach with fine sand is across the road from the hotel. Traffic is calm. Free sun loungers in the shade of trees on the beach. The hotel has a wonderful restaurant with a rich menu and very fast service. Good coffee. 7/11 is a 5-minute walk away...

The ice cream taste are really special. Must try it. The dishes are also very good.

Stopped by Mac Garden Resort & Restaurant in Ban Phe for a family meal. The chicken fried rice was satisfying, prepared well, and enjoyed by everyone at the table. I also tried the Pad Thai chicken, which had a strong fish sauce flavor that didn’t quite suit my taste—possibly an acquired flavor for those who love authentic Thai cuisine. The restaurant itself is part of a simple, laid-back resort known...

Huge bed, the air con worked great, quiet till sundown, then started to notice the hookers coming out of rooms. It was a great spot for people watching, and a short walk to the pier. Definitely recommend booking online because it was half the price the lady at the desk told us

Suitable price and quite place. But the bed must be use the quite bed becoz that has sounds so loudly and overlay must improve more

Quite good, quiet, back from road, cheap, clean only con was no wifi in room at back but can just walk out a bit for free wifi

There are some really harsh reviews on here! For what it is the place is perfect, clean, comfortable and cheap. Good central location very close to the pier but set away from the main road. I can’t understand all the negative reviews. It is clearly budget accommodation so if that’s what you’re expecting you will be 100% satisfied!

A simple, quiet place to stay right by the beach. The accommodation is basic but clean and well maintained, and during our stay it was pleasantly uncrowded. Facilities are modest rather than luxurious, but perfectly adequate for a relaxed beach break. The location is the real strength, ideal if you want a calm, low key base in this part of Rayong. Good value for a no fuss seaside stay.

We stayed in a 1 bedroom appartement that was very well equiped. 2 x air con and ceiling fan. Comfy bed and spacious shower. Loved the dining table 4 chairs and sofa, yet it still felt very spacious. Short walk to beach,bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again. I just loved the location near beach with little or no traffic.

This resort is beautiful. The room is spacious and clean! The staff is super friendly and helpful. They always helped to book taxis for us and gave us good recommendations for around the area. I had left something really important behind, after checkout and when i called they were friendly and helpful and shipped it to me. Would highly recommend this resort for a nice getaway in Rayong area.

Very comfortable and also easy access to the beach ,nice and clean villas

Good location, inexpensive and big room

Beautiful people, great service, great location

Very nice place. The best Tom Kha Kai i have eaten in Thailand 😋

Decent place for staying. Take a bike from the pier to travel here. Value for money place with decent breakfast. Cafe is a bit expensive

Pretty nice but the WiFi was very slow.

Nice private beach, good coffee cafe and bar. Everything is pricey here - recommend to buy snacks and drinks at 7-11 or pier before go to island. A la carte breakfast only!

Great rooms, great beach, great food and great staff. Good price to quality ratio on a high season public holiday weekend

It’s a quiet and nice place, and it’s worth to upgrade from the garden room to the beach front bungalow. The food is a bit expensive and so-so.. Go to the restaurant next door for lunch/dinner..👌🏽
