Pariya Resort & Villas Haad Yuan Koh Phangan

N/a

Pariya needs to take some responsibility for the total deception regarding its location and how to reach the hotel. We were told it was easily accessible from Thong Sala pier and double checked this independently via google maps (which appeared to show it was accessible by road) however upon arrival at Koh Phangan we were told after a 15 minute transfer bus (which we paid for) that we would have to get a boat round the bay to reach another pier, and from there would have to make our way to the resort (we were not told whether or not this would be another cab). We visited the island for the full moon party and were shocked to find out that the boats apparently went to and from the exact beach on which the full moon party took place. When we got to the beach we found another couple in the exact same situation. One of the couple works for a travel agent and was also shocked and angry that they had no prior warning about getting to and from the hotel. Things became worse when we found that none of the long tail boats would take us on that day due to the set up of the full moon party, which would also have affected us for getting back from the beach in the early hours of the morning the next day. This meant that we had to bunk in with friends (luckily we knew people on the island) as no other hotel was available on the day of the full moon party; the busiest day of the month. All in all I would not recommend this hotel as it is not made clear how difficult it is to get to and from the location. This is before you factor in the cost of multiple boats and taxis which would be difficult to arrange at the awkward times caused by the full moon party, which many people visit Koh Phangan to attend. Pariya urgently needs to arrange a better transfer service to the hotel or do the honest thing and disclose the difficulties you will face BEFORE making the booking.

Nice beach but you need 300 thb for one way to this place

Price is very high. Price and facilities are quite different. Termites in the room. 3500 thb its very expensive for this resort
