A little bit magical”

Beyond the Blue Horizon is a small (7 room?) resort right on Haad Chao Phao beach. The beach itself is not the best, a bit rocky, way out at low tide, but the rocks and plants made for some decent snorkeling during high tide. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and hill ensures that the villas have a lot of privacy. As mentioned, it is on a hillside, so it's a bit of hike from the pool/restaurant to to top of the resort. The garden views are closer to the pool area than the sea view rooms, and our garden view villa had a lovely (partially obscured) sea view anyway! The villas are very clean, with stylish, modern bathrooms. Overall very quiet, though you can hear the music from the Pirate Bar down the beach. Not a big deal. The pool area and restaurant are lovely, the owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful, Serene, friendly Management”

Koh Phangnan is famous for its moon parties, but the North West caters more to the yogi traveler. This suited me just fine as I was looking for relaxation and from the positive reviews I decided to book at Beyond Blue. The resort was perfect - intimate, clean and spacious bungalows. I booked one of the rooms with direct sea view and it was worth the extra cost - gorgeous views! Breakfast is served fresh ala carte and was diverse enough. For Dinner I recommend you venture out to nearby local restaurants on the Haad Yao strip (mama Pooh! yumyum!) Last but not least the staff was friendly, especially the new manager Kirill who made sure my stay was comfortable and made me feel very welcome. :) If you decide to stay on this side of the island - don't hesitate and book at Beyond Blue - you will not regret it!

Beautiful Hotel - Excellent Staff”

absolutely loved beyond the blue horizon resort in koh phangan. away from haad rin (full moon party area) it was so quiet and peaceful. the staff there lek and the manager ben are the most hospitable people who always welcome you and are happy to help you out. ben's english is really good too so communicating is really easy.

Excellent with suprisingly, oustanding food!”

We only stayed for 3 nights but were extremely impressed with the overall experience at Beyond The Blue Horizon Resort. The staff made every effort to help us with our requests, the rooms were spacious and clean and certainly could fall into a higher category type of accommodation (star-wise), especially considering that most other accommodation options on the island are way more basic from what we saw. One thing to note is that despite the small kitchen, the food was truly outstanding and delicious - some of the best dishes we've eaten in a while. Ben, the female manager, and her team deserve a note of appreciation because they made our stay in this boutique resort with only 9 rooms very memorable and pleasant. We'll be back :)

Perfect week at the beach”

I spent a perfect week at Beyond the Blue Horizon in May 2014. The small independent hotel has about 10 white bungalows set on a hill, with views to the ocean. My room was clean, spacious and well-designed with white linens, great light and a rainwater shower. The small pool beside the open air restaurant has a view over the ocean and it's just a few steps down to the beach. The Thai family that runs the place is very friendly and welcoming - there's daily room service and the food is great. The only downside was limited wifi coverage - I didn't get coverage in my room or in the restaurant - so not a good choice for someone who needs regular internet access.

stylish small resort”

you feel immediately at home at the beyond the blue horizon resort, thanks to the very kind staff. the resort is very small, but the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the pool and restaurant area is very nice with great views. we had a very nice stay indeed and would recommend this hotel to everybody. the food is very very good, breakfast somewhat poor but since we went for diving trips we decided to have breakfast on the boat instead) two things to keep in mind: the hotel is far away from the 'night action' and there is not anything like a village nearby, but there are several shops and restaurants nearby (make sure you try the big mountain restaurant up the hill to the right), on the other hand when you rent a motorbike make sure to do it directly with the hotel and never in the 'bakery' just in front of the hotel, they scammed us for bath telling we had damaged the motor (which wasnt true) and didnt want to give our passport back, so we finally had to pay

best hotel”

we spent 7 nights at this hidden gem on koh phangan, only 9 villas so it feels like home, the hosts and his staff were excellent host and make you feel very welcome and will do anything to make your visit as enjoyable as they can. The superior sea view villa was excellent and spotlessly clean and the standards remained high throughout our stay. Breakfast was good and made to order fresh, we ate at the resort a few times and the food is probably the best on the island, the infinity pool was lovely on a hot day to cool down with a drink, and was kept perfectly clean,we could not find any faults with this resort keep up the good work the hosts and all at blue horizon thanks for our stay and will hope to see you all next time.

Absolutely lovely”

I'm not a frequent reviewer but I felt compelled since Blue Horizon was so lovely. The staff and interim manager (the owner's sister) were all super wonderful and kind. We booked motorbike rentals through the hotel and a few meals. The rental was wonderful and only 200 baht for 24 hours. The food wasn't the best of the best but it was still very well prepared, tasty and reasonablg priced. I loved the breakfasts. The pool was beauitful and clean as well as all of the facilities. The rooms were very spacious and the bathrooms were great. If you have trouble with stairs this is not the place for you as there is a brieg stone walkway to the pool and rooms. If you want to party hard and meet lots of young people I'd also say stay somewhere else. My boyfriend and I are younger and stayed several days reading in the sun, zooming around on the bike and enjoying the Green Leaf Cafe down the street. Forget the market in town it's pretty awful. Overall it was the best place we stayed yet!

Wonderful!”

The stay here was perfect. We came seeking quiet, ocean view, peaceful ralaxing balcony, good food. All were quietly provided withut ceremony. We enjoyed some seashore time, but mostly wanted to doze, read, eat, and unwind from the city. We did not seek or want much entertainment. We are an older couple, but there were also several young couples as guests, who seemed to have no problem finding entertainment off the site but were happy to come back to the hotel. The ones with very young children were especially well served; the pool and restaurant area right above the beach were pleasant and safe areas for them. A five-minute walk brought us to clutch of mini-markets, Internet and travel stores. The food was exceptionally good, nicely presented. We are so glad to have chosen Blue Horizon from reading previous complimentary reviews.

Quiet paradise to recover from the parties”

i went with a group of friends to koh phangan to go to the full moon party and also get some good beach time - this was hands down the best place to do this! BTBH is half an hour drive from haad rin (where the main beach bars and full moon is) but the drive is fantastic and we always met lots of other travellers in the tuk tuk on the way (plenty of tuk tuks passing by to jump in) - had to barter to get 150baht pp. We still went out every night from here! Simple menu but five star food! We were very impressed with the quality of the food Villas are stunning, clean and a really different style of bathroom which I actually liked a lot!!! The beach is so quiet with options to snorkel/kayak. There's a diving shop five minutes walk away that do snorkelling and diving trips -worth a go! And finally it's a great place to get motorbikes around if you want to have a go!

We didn't want to leave!”

We were lucky to stay 4 nights at the Blue Horizon hotel over the full moon party in February. It was a very isolated location, there is not much around, and it is a 10 minute walk to the nearest 7-11; however, this was not a problem at all for us. The on site restaurant had a great selection and the prices were very reasonable. We ate here for lunch and dinner almost everyday. The free breakfast also was very good. The best part of the hotel was the pool- it looked right onto the ocean and was a great place to spend the day. Our only complaint was that the wifi was VERY slow so don't expect to get much done!

Small, lovely and quiet resort”

We booked two extra nights strait after arrival. Resort is just opened and all bungalows are new. View from the bungalow’s balcony was stunning. Staff are extremely friendly. Small pool is nice and because place have only 9 bungalows can’t be very grounded. Breakfast was basic but good. Generally food was tasty and low price. Place are build on the down hill and have many stairs ie. maybe not recommended for family with the small children or/and people with difficulties to walk. We loved the place and in case we return to Koh Phangan is some day, we would like to stay here again.

Lovely clean hotel”

it was a wonderful stay in beyond the blue horizon resort. we were greeted warmly by the hotel staff and were very friendly until we checked out. the thai food served as dinner and the breakfast were very tasty. i will stay there again in near future

Fabulous Place & Quiet”

We stayed at Blue Horizon for 11 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We would return without hesitation. We loved the breakfasts, plenty of choices. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Lisa the Manager is fantastic and works very well to keep everyone feeling welcome and happy. The bathroom is a good size, unlike some, with very nice rainwater shower. Wonderful walks along the beach, so quiet and no crowds, just a few on the beach usually. We were there during some rainy afternoons, thick dark grey clouds, just fabulous sitting on the verandah outside our room. Small suggestion, replace the bathroom towels with holes!

Amzing and peaceful hotel”

This hotel is super nice. It only has 9 bungalows, so it is very quiet and peaceful. The area around the pool is great and the view is amazing. The staff is great, and breakfast is also very good! We had dinner there one night and we also liked that. The beach in front of the hotel has very shallow water (in July at least) so it is not great for swimming, but that is true everywhere in Koh Phangan! Higly recommended!!!

Perfect!”

The hotel is located in Haad Chaopao which is quite a quiet little beach but with a few shops and restaurants. We rented a scooter as recommended by the owner of the hotel and found that we were able to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of Haad Chaopao and also access everything that we needed to. On arrival we were greeted with orange juice, mojitos and a free room upgrade which was wonderful as it was our honeymoon. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. The pool was beautiful and had gorgeous views out to sea and Ang Thong National Park. The food provided for breakfast was delicious and in generous portion sizes. We ended up eating at the hotel restaurant every night because the food was absolutely fantastic. The Massaman curry, vegetable tempura and sweet and sour dishes are absolutely delicious. The owner and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and gave advice on trips and tours etc. Lek was always smiling and made the best mojitos we've ever had. This is the best place we've stayed in on our whole eight month trip!

Lovely stay in small hide-away resort”

Stayed here for 4 nights and loved it. Lovely 'villa's', clean, nice and cool. Lisa (the resort manager) is very friendly and helps out wherever she can. Pool is small, but nice to cool off! Great views, lovely sunset. Good choice for breakfast, and good quality. Dinner is good, but a bit over-priced. Good to know that there are enough lovely beach restaurants 'around the corner' where you can enjoy great Thai food, as well as Western dishes! Great place to enjoy the island; recommended to hire a scooter (Lisa can arrange this) for 200 Baht a day. Secret beach is on walking distance; lovely little beach where you can relax, snorkle and have a great meal. Don't forget to visit Koh Ma and enjoy the beach/snorkling. We did a bike tour with Phangan Biking Tours (pick up from resort and drop off for 100 baht a person), GREAT tour, also highly recommended!

lovely small resort ”

This resort is located in a quite area of koh phangan. It is very suitable for travellers looking for quitness and relaxation . really small. 9 rooms i think. Great food and great staffs . especiLly the hotel manager Ben. She is really friendly and helpful. Would like to visit again in the future.

Stay here!”

You won't be dissapointed!! Everything is on a hill, which is the only small snag in my reviews. Besides that, the staff were incredible,rooms were very clean, pool is a little smaller than what it looks like in the photo but super nice, and the breakfast is pretty yummy! The manager helped us with any questions we had and he also helped set up a scooter rental for us. (a scooter is a MUST) He really went above and beyond and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again!! Oh! and when we had arrived, they saw that we had noted that we were on our honeymoon so they left us a pile of fresh fruit and a sweet letter in our room with flowers on our bed. We loved this! Thank you all so much!

Beautiful hotel, excellent staff, super price/qual”

We made a booking for 2 days but ended up staying five days which says it all. The rooms are big, beautiful, clean... The staff is so friendly and always willing to help out. The location is beautiful, the food is great and price/quality this was really the best place we found on Koh Phangan.
