“Ups and Downs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I'll make this as straightforward as possible.

Pro's- GREAT LOCATION. Situated on the beach opposite the full moon party. So you're not sleeping in the middle of the crazy-ness but it's about a 2 min walk to all of the Full Moon Party action. It's on a great beach. Staff is extremely friendly and nice! Genuine people.

Con's-
*Price: Compared with other hostels and homestays in SE Asia, this place is definitely a splurge!
*Accommodations: Shacks. Huts. Holes in the walls and floors. Cockroaches (all 6 of us staying here had the pleasure of discovering one at some point)
*Security: TERRIBLE. full moon party night the thieves come out to prey on the tourists! It's a guarentee that every tourist on the island will be out of their rooms and at the Full moon party beach between the hours of 8-6am. Thieves come out and break into the cottages, and it's not hard. There was only one security personnel on shift to oversee all of the cottages- not nearly enough. The locks on the cottages are old padlocks that are easy to jimmy open. Bring your own combination lock!!! Zip tie the windows! And you should be OK.

Our cottage was broken into while we were sleeping. Luckily the one security guard that was on for the night ended up SHOOTING the thief with a pellet gun while they were running away and we got our stuff back. It was a miracle!

Room Tip: Try to get a cottage close to the restaurant (these are a bit more expensive, but beachfront), there...

“Leela Beech Bungalows dont be put off”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

person found this review helpful

first impressions were the beach which is in an ideal location with breathtaking scenary
the beach huts look very basic and in fact are
I would definetly upgrade to a breeze block bungalow with air con as the standard cheapest are far too basic
The bungalows are more than adequit for a comfy 3 night stay although be prepared to carry your cases some 800yds to get there
plenty of places to eat nearby and its amazing that although so close to the moon party beach that this is also a million miles away with its tranquill peacful setting

Room Tip: always lock your room although didnt experience any problems

“Nice beach don't miss to stay here!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We stayed in the cliff bungalow. The rooms are kinda basic, but we had a very good sleep quality and a nice view. The prices outside of the full moon season, are also cheap.

While it's only a 10 minute walk to Haad Rin (the biggest city on Koh Phangan), it's still very quiet and has a beautiful beach. the staff very nice and helpful.

I also liked the hotel's own restaurant which had good and cheap prices.

Nice beach don't miss to stay here!!! I will back.

“Welcome to hell”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

AVOID at all costs. This place is gross disgusting disturbing unsafe unpleasant just plain wrong. This so called bungalow was the dirtiest craphole I've ever seen in my life and I've stayed at my fair share of dirty guesthouses. The place had black mold growing everywhere. By the second night, both my gf and i developed terrible coughs. The bathroom had an army of cacoroches parading in it. The walls were brownish black with what looked like turd stains eveywhere.
To add insult to injury, my gf 1500$ camera was stolen while we were out for a couple of hours. Another couple had their laptop stolen as well on the same night. There was no sign of forced entry which means the staff is in on it. Of course, we ve asked to leave our valuables at the front desk or lockers but we were refused because they would rather steal your stuff than keep it safe. Anyways, avoid this place like the plague that it is!!!! You have been warned
