I discovered this hotel via trip advisors, it was on the first place. The hotel looked very nice and cute, it remembered me the Flintstones. I read all the reviews and decided to go for it. I wondered why a 3 star hotel has that many good reviews… We visited the hotel from 18 till 25 October 2011 during our trip through Thailand.

The hotel is very colorful and looks very appealing. It is not that big, I think there were 8 bungalows. It has a large hot tube and a nice bar. The rooms were as on the pictures with nice decoration. It was very comfortable and completely different compared to the standard ‘hotel rooms’. There was a computer available on the room, and the Wi-Fi connection was fast and had good coverage. The rooms and other parts of the hotel were cleaned every day. The hotel is definitely a good looking design hotel, especially there is nice atmosphere in the evening with the colorful lights.

The staff was very friendly, particularly the big boss Tony was very helpful. Thanks for the service and tips again. The breakfast was one of the major plus punts, nice selection of eggs, crepes, cakes, shakes, etc. The beach was good accessible, walk just across the street through the resort, and the city center is 5 to 10 minutes’ walk for the hotel. The hotel offered also a free transfer from and to the airport (Just mail your arrival time and they will come and pick you up). We rented a scooter from the hotel for sightseeing (the best way to do), and discovered nice parts of Koh Samui.

It is definitely worth to go for this hotel. For a good price you get lots of design, lots of service, lots of pleasure, and a unforgettable experience.

Thanks for all,

This place is a hidden paradise!!!!!
The warmest welcoming staff and the most relaxed atmosphere.
My self and my partner stayed in a bungalow, it was very clean, spacious and super chilled with air-con and a fan you’re always comfortable when getting in from the blazing heat.
The beach is just across the road too, so handy!!
You also have free wi-fi and lots of films to chose from on the large flat screen TV in your room, really handy when you just want to unwind before a a night out!
The breakfast is lovely too, with lots of choice – you can’t go wrong with the cheese omelette though, mmm! :o)
This place is different to anywhere I have ever stayed before, it has its own special atmosphere, with a pool that turns into a Jacuzzi and different colour lighting all around.
Its truly amazing, cant wait to return!!

Thanks Pandora, for making our holiday truly special.

See you soon

stayed at the Pandora for 13 nights over Christmas and new year. Upon arriving at the hotel we were showed to our room which was quirky and looked great with all the lighting under the bed. The TV with media centre was great as was the free internet.
The staff couldnt have been more helpful and Wan was great when it came to booking excursions. The manager, Tony was very passionate and you got the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble for him
The rooms were cleaned daily and shower gels/shampoos were re-stocked
The hotel itself is situated in the quieter North Chaweng area but is only a short ride on a baht bus or a stroll to the main bars. The beach is literally across the road and just through another hotel (Chalala hotel) There's also a 24/7 next door and 2 ATM's
We had a great stay here and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel

Attracted by the interesting look of the hotel from their website we took a chance on staying in the Pandora over Christmas and really loved it. It looks almost exactly like it does on the website (really) and is a really different take on the normal hotel room. Once in, everything is of a lovely standard in the rooms, the beds are comfy, towels fluffy and various supplied bathroom items are all really nice. We were really charmed by the hotel and its staff over their stay; it's a lovely relaxing place in a good location, and we will be back.

Great Stuff : Location (North Chaweng is prettier, less crowded and cheaper than the main resort just down the road), the amazing decor and the really delicious and varied breakfast buffet.

Good Stuff : The staff are lovely, the beds are really comfy and the in-room computers/media centres a nice touch.

Not So Good : This wasn't an issue for us but there is no direct beach frontage (they have a deal with the place accross the road so you can just walk through to the beach in moments) and the pool area is a bit small - if your entire holiday plan is "sit next to the pool" you might be disappointed. But their pool great for a splash and perfect especially if you have small kids to keep an eye on as it's easy to see where they are, and the barside drinks in the evening are spectacular.
