This will be a much shorter review than they deserve. But I'm afraid this would turn out to be a novel if I should write about everything that's good about this place. Seaview bungalow was great, the beach was great, total paradise! Best of all were the food and the staff. The food was delicious and always tastefully arranged. Finally,... More

Right on the beach and good for swimming. The new restaurant is not very comfortable. The staff partly very friendly and partly impolite.

Stayed here for 6 nights over the full moon party at the beginning of April. We paid 1500bt per night for a wooden bungalow which was cheaper if not the same as most other hotels/guest houses on the island. It worked out the same price as Dreamland next door but candlehut included breakfast and when we arrived I realise I'd... More

1500 Bath including breakfast is a great price in my opinion. The staff was very friendly and service minded, the guy-manager did not seem quite as interested in making happy visitors. We had a wooden bungalow just on the beach, superb location! The room was worn down; * leaking toilet * bad smell from bath room * not very closed... More

The wooden bungalows weren't shown on the internet so we were expecting one of nice concrete poolside villas To get to the resort you must drive up a beaten dirk track, bordered with rubble, roof tiles and general rubbish The beach is nice but the waves are very choppy and as the website said it had two pools in actual...

We are a family of 4 with 2 little kids(2yrs and 6yrs) and we absolutely loved candle hut. We stayed for 3 nights (but wished we'd booked longer!) and originally booked a double bedded bungalow with sea view. This would have been perfect for us but unfortunately we had problems with the air con so were moved to a sea... More

We had a two week stay in Thailand and decided to take a break from the 5 star luxury hotels in Samui to see what Phangan had to offer. We were not disappointed and loved our relaxing stay on Thong Nai Pan Yai beach. We stayed in the stone villa closest to the beach which meant we could literally step... More

We only stayed here for one night and we found it to be everything we needed. Yes it was basic but it was clean and on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island what more do you need? We stayed in one of the wooden huts right on the beach front, double bed, air con, fan, fridge and... More
