Great Couples retreat and super relaxed ”
Spent my birthday here which was definitely a nice end of the year! The resort is well situated and you can rent kayaks to explore the mangrove swamp nearby, really gorgeous sunsets from this vantage point and the proprietor is quite lovely! It was definitely a great option if you are looking for somewhere low-key and offgrid! Amazing spacious bungalows and lovely balcony space! Highly recommend!

Very nice, great value”
Location is at the quiet end of a small road on a comparatively quiet island. So if you like quiet (I do) it is a great place. There is a restaurant at the facility and It is within easy walking distance of several others. The beach is perhaps not the best on the island, but is still very nice. We were there pre-season, the owner upgraded us to a better bungalow which was spacious and nice in all respects. The entire compound was well maintained. Absolutely great value compared with any other properties that I saw (I checked out several).

Ok, but wouldn’t stay again.”
It wasn’t really open. Restaurant closed. The room was very dirty and we had to clean all surfaces with tissue on arrival. Stayed 1 week. No cleaning of the room. Staff didn’t seem to care if we were there or not. Not many eating options without a motorbike. Which became a hassle every time yo wanted food had to go a long way. We would not stay there again.

Above average”
The location was great, amazing beach (but the tide went down so low we weren’t able to swim in the afternoon). The bed wasn’t too comfortable and there were no bedside tables. The room service wasn’t consistent, some days we were not provided water. On one of the days, we saw a dead rat outside our bungalow so we told the manager but no action was taken, as we were staying a total of 5 nights, had to remove the dead rat ourselves.

By the Beach ”
Not impressed Bungalow was dirty the whole place looks unloved just seemed to us it was all about the money. Fridge was disgusting have to pay 1000 Baht Deposit for any damages not stated in booking, 100 Deposit for Beach Towels, cold shower but you can pay 100 Baht for a hot shower. Breakfast was OK but if you want a meal at night you have to pre order. Drinking water you use a bottle and refill yourself at Reception overall not impressed. We did meet some people who enjoyed their stay, they even had hot showers but didn't have to pay the extra 100 Baht and also paid less for their Bungalow than we did.

Very esthetic Resort with great comfort”
I stayed 1 week at Buffalo Bay Vacation Club. It is one of the best Resorts of the Island... If not The Best! The private beach is very calm and so nice for swimming and with lot's of small fishes arround. You can swimm there only at high tide but I did not have any problems with it. All bungalows take place in a very nice garden with lot's of nice singing birds and it's only 1 minute to the private beach. Also the restaurant offers a great choise of very delicious food... By the way made my the boss him self. The stuff is always very helpfull and not defiant at all! Some people wrote about lot's of mosquitos.... But this depends for sure the weather... We did not have lot's of them and as there are mosquitonets at all windows and doors it's very easy going. I would always recoment this Island and this resort and if I come back to Thailand for sure I will go there again. They offer also trips for snorkeling or diving but I didi not use this service. If you don't like to rent a bike you can walk easily to next supermarket or some nice small restaurants. Very recomented is the restaurant and cocktail bar Krug Khun Kao... Leaving the resort and going up in direction center, at the first cross to the right... 20 min walking distance only. Buffalo Bay Vacation Club is the best place for relax! Walking at the beach during low tide you are in 10 min at a nice Rasta Bar. You will see the Bob Marley flag! Also very nice people!

Enjoyable stay at well-located beach resort”
I stayed for 3 days at Buffalo Bay Vacation Club and was most impressed by the surroundings and staff. The restaurant offers an extensive menu with delicious and affordable options. The bungalows are well-equipped and spacious. The staff are very attentive and helpful and keep the rooms and surroundings in impeccable condition. The beach is very quiet and a great place for rest and relaxation compared to other beaches on Koh Phayam. Despite this, it is only 5 minutes from the ferry. This resort is particularly suitable for couples or families. I have no hesitation in recommending the resort to others.

Beautiful resort on a expectional island”
Koh Phayam is a beautiful island. Buffalo Bay Beach is more quiet than Long Beach. BBVC It is a great resort to relax. The rooms have a very good standard and you get a good value for the money. Make sure you have your ferry or speedboat to the island organized.

Very nice stay at Buffalo Bay Vacation Club!”
Dimitri has been a fantastic host and very patiently assisted my family of 5 with three young kids with any request. Communications before and upon arrival were smooth and he even cooked a birthday cake for one of us. The food was great (a bit expensive but everything need to be carried on the island so not surprising) and the family room was very big with two bunk bed and a very comfy king size bed. The beach was fantastic and even at low tide we enjoyed resting in the shade or walking on the beach spotting crabs and other creatures. We rented Dimitri's kayaks twice, once to adventure in the river nearby among mangroves and another time on the opposite side of the large bay for snorkeling. I was initially worried about the bad reviews on this resort but I must say that I was amazed by Dimitri's kindness and the beauty of his place. We loved Kho Phayam and if we are ever going back we would definitely book at Dimitri's place. Thanks a lot!
