"The resort is next to the beach and the view is really great."

Everything at our finger tips”
The first thing that struck me about Milky Bay was the space between and the sheer size of the villas. We stayed in Villa and if you are tossing up between a villa and a normal room I urge you to splash out and get this style of room, worth every penny. Everything from the second/day bed in the corner, the couches, the spacious bathroom... having stayed in a few different styles of resorts and hotels since starting to holiday in Thailand this place is definitely my favourite. We hired a scooter (which was a workhorse) for our stay through the hotel and didn't get scammed, so this place can be trusted. We also got out DVDs, they have a good selection of brouchers and a nice looking pool. We also got massages every day, the ladies were awesome! We also had breakfast & dinner most days here and were never bored with the selection. We did get sick for a night or two, we're not sure if it was from the ice in our many (many) cocktails or something we caught beforehand, but if in doubt stick to beer in Koh Phangan. This resort is also in between Haad Rin and Thong Sala which was handy for all our travel and partying needs, also close to the cross roads to head up to Canopy Adventure and Thong Nai. All in all this is a top place to stay and would definitly recommend it to friends and family and while we like to try a new place every time we come to Thailand it will be hard to top this place.

Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, great value, good fcilities”
Milky bay is one of the best resorts in its price range on Koh Phangan. We tried several places on Koh Phangan, and came back to stay at Milky Bay. Reception was open most of the night for our late check-in. Staff speak excellent English and are very friendly! Facilities are very good - beautiful spacious stand alone villas which are cleaned daily, nice pool, beachfront views and location and quality scooter hire, reliable wifi. There is no gym however as the website said. Location-wise, it opens onto the beach and it's in a quiet area. There isn't much immediately around the resort; there are a couple of good bars and restaurants, but its in a quiet area. It's only a 200-400 Baht and 10mins cab ride from Had Rin where the full moon parties are held, or a similar price to get to the main shops and dock. If I went back I would definitely choose Milky Bay. Our diving instructor who lives on the island says she always puts her parents up in Milky Bay because its well known as one of the best resorts on the island,.

Great hotel...best restaurant!!”
We had a fantastic time at the milky bay resort!! We have no complaints whatsoever, and the hotel made our stay in Koh Pha Ngan so amazing!! There are some minor things that we'd like to point out though... Pro's: -Fantastic restaurant (the best we've been to in Thailand so far) although it can get a bit pricey!! Definitely try satay chicken as a starter, and if the BBQ is on, try the beef with jacket potato - it was seriously tasty!! -Happy hour is good (between 5-7 PM) especially if you want to try new coctails without paying extortionate prices. Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada were our favourites! -The hotel entertainment is good...free to use pool table and table tennis. -The in-house massage parlour is very good...1 hour Thai massage that we have was brilliant! -Fairly decent location...it's 100 ThB per person to Haad Rin beach (full moon party location) and less than that to the half moon party location. -The hotel offers free transfers to and from the pier...very welcome gesture!! -The moped hire shop which is on the same site as the hotel was fair. It cost 150 ThB per day, we took photos before to be on the safe side, but no problems at all. Costs around 100 ThB to fill up, and should last a day. Dont try and go up the hills to Haad Rin beach though...I witnessed people falling off as its so steep!! -Fantastic staff!! Con's: -The pool is often in the shade for most of the day, which kind of let's the area down a bit. -The reception closes overnight, the first time we have witnessed this in Thailand. This meant we couldn't leave the keys in reception when we went out for the evening. -Check out is very early; 10.30AM -No telephone in the room (in case of emergency, we would have no way of contacting hotel staff) -The hotel rooms themselves were quite dark. -There were quite a lot of flies in the shower/bathroom. -The ground surrounding the hotel is wooden chips, prepare to have dirty feet! Overall fantastic hotel!!

Great place, great staff, great food”
Milky Bay was awesome. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, outgoing and will do anything they can to help you. We were backpacking through SE Asia and didn’t feel like we needed to leave the resort because we enjoyed it so much. They had everything you needed including great reasonably priced food, a decent pool, and a decent beach. There’s also a convenience store located near the entrance to buy any cheap booze and snacks that you want. We extended our stay one night because we enjoyed the clean rooms so much, and the staff discounted our last night. We had to catch a ferry early in the morning, so the staff pre-prepared breakfast for us and had it waiting for us as we checked out. Overall, very enjoyable stay, would highly recommend if visiting Koh Phangan.

Great Resort, Excellent Restaurant”
We were staying in Haat Rin on Ko Phangan and after 2 nights decided we'd like to get away and found Milky Bay as a last minute deal on Agoda.com. For the price we paid it was fantastic, the room itself was great, however it was let down slightly by the bathroom which had a very poor shower - nothing more than a trickle. The food at the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced for the quality - try the daily seafood specials, particularly the red snapper if you can. The cocktails are very good and the daily happy hour meant you could relax on a lounger with a quality cocktail for around £2 per drink. The pool was fine for a refreshing cool down, and essential as the sea is not suitable for swimming at the resort due to the shallow depth. The area around the resort is not as busy as other parts of the Island however we didn't feel this was a problem as Milky Bay has adequate food and drink and guests to keep you entertained for a good few days.

What can I say?”
Were to start? What an absolutely fantastic hotel! We stayed here for 5 days and I wish we stayed here our whole trip to Thailand. The accommodation we stayed in was one of their villas which was out of this world! My wife and I actually laughed when they open the door to the room because we could not believe what we got! The restaurant made the best food we had on our whole trip to Thailand. We just never bothered to eat anywere else. We spent all our time at Milky Bay because we just did not have the need to go anywhere else. Only on the last day we felt a bit guiltey and did the tourist thing. My wife and I eloped and got married here so I might be a bit biased but let me tell you what they did. They organized everything for us we did not lift a finger. We had a ceremony on the beach, we had the island chief in her full military uniform to make things official, we had a captain from one of the ships to do the ceremony in English for us. Orchids everywhere! Lobster the size of my arm, prawns the size of my hand. Because we had no quests the staff all got dressed up in their floral shirts and dresses and joined the ceremony. The flower girl was one the staffs daughters and we had a picture perfect setting. Im not a romantic guy but this was the perfect wedding for my wife and its all thanks to the staff at Milky Bay. Chris the owner even bought me a beer and sambuca before the wedding to calm my nerves. Natali runs the restaurant and was just phenomenal. Even the barmen I called him Bang was top class. The night before the wedding I stayed up with a British guy watching football till 2 in the morning when he was suppose to knock off at 11 and we eventually convinced him to have a beer with us and not once did he try chase us away so he could close. Service is what this place is about and I promise you won’t find a place like this very easily! 5 min drive to the half moon party, 10 min drive to the full moon party and a 5 min drive to Thong Sala.Just cant beat that

We loved Milky Bay! Felt like paradise”
Milky Bay really is beautiful. It's not a plush 5 star resort so if that what you're after, keep looking, but we much preferred this experience than going to the larger resorts which we did on other islands. Milky Bay has lush, tropical gardens which really make you feel like you're staying Thailand. The pool is okay (could be cleaned a little more regularly) but the view overlooking the beach, with the kite surfers really is spectacular. The staff are extremely helpful and all seem to enjoy their jobs. We had a standard bungalow which suited us, but they are small with very basic bathrooms (shower over toilet). So if you have higher expectations I would suggest paying a little extra for a bigger room. For us though - it was perfect. Thank you Milky Bay for a wonderful few days. P.s - rent a skooter out front for about $5US a day. It's cheaper than taxi'ing anywhere and you can explore the entire island.

AMAZING HOTEL!”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the Milky Bay. The staff were amzing especially Natalie. There were 3 of us who shared a triple room. The room was spacious and cleaned everyday. We were visiting Koh Phagnan for the Full Moon Party and the Hotel was ideal for this. They put on a shuttle bus to and from the party. The location of the hotel is right on the beach, close enough in a taxi to Had Rin, but far enough away to offer a relaxing vacation. The food in the restaurant was amazing esp the mussels and the chicken cashew nut. If you are visiting Koh Phagnan for the Full Moon and want a quiet resort to chill during day - then you should stay in Milky Bar. I will def be returning.

Great location, friendly staff, good food!”
staff at milky bay was one of the friendliest i have come across in my 4 months of traveling in se asia. this isn't a 5 star resort but they try their hardest to make you think it is. everything down to the welcome drink and cool towel upon arrival was offered with a smile also, the pool was perfect for hanging out during the day and getting some sun and the hotel offers food and beverages that can be ordered and brought right to your chair. included breakfast was great...choose anything from the restaurants breakfast menu (eggs, pancakes, fruit/yogurt, etc) and all comes with coffee/tea, and juice. overall i have to give this hotel major thumbs up for the price and amazing staff. would definitely return if i ever make it back to koh phagnan and highly recommend it

One of ther best resorts on the island”
this is my second stay at milky bay. a result of a prolonged stay due to the service and atmosphere. i was able you keep mye superior room, though i only booked a standard one, due to the current low season. during the past few days i've been able to plow through most of their menu, and i'm very pleased with every meals. milky bay advertise this reort as a 2 star resort, but i disagree!!!! the resort and service functions as a 3+ star resort, the accommodation is 3 star, and the food served is closer to 4 star........with only two star prices. thank you mbr for an unforgetable stay!

Great staff in a perfect place”
We stayed in milky hay resort forma two days, our room was a beautifull estudio with everything you can image. All the resort are located inside the nature. All the staff are friendly and helpfull it was a pleasure to met them, they helped us to rent a motorbike and when my boyfriend feel bad about the stomach the staff of the restaurant gave us some limes and water. The last thing that we don't like it was the beach near the hotel, you can't swim beacuse this place hace just 50 cm of warm water. We are very happy to discover this resort and if we come back ti koh phangan we stay there again. Congratulations about your staff.

Great staff”
stayed at milky bay for 3 nights. we were upgraded from a standard to superior room on arrival at no extra charge. the facilities and room of good standard but the biggest asset to milky bay are the staff. the staff are the most welcoming and friendly of anywhere we stayed over our 3 weeks in thailand. i found the resort great value for money and my only negative comments are that not a great deal to do directly nearby and perhaps should get another cd to play in restaurant as seemed to always be same one playing at all times we were there (i didn't know that anyone had made a lounge jazz version of ymca!)

Rest, restore, eat out!”
Arrived harassed and tired after bad experience on other part of the island. I had emailed to ask if they could pick me up from The White Rabbit restaurant and Joe replied "Yes" almost immediately, bless him! Arriving at Milky Bay I was welcomed with a huge smile by Kim on Reception and instantly felt glad to be there. My air conditioned bungalow with HOT shower - a luxury believe it or not - was perfect and I appreciated the sweet flowers on the bed. Attention to detail is excellent at the resort and staff even take the trouble to chat and remember your name. After booking for five days, I wanted to extend my stay and they were very pleasant about it so I didn't even need to change bungalow. The resort is in a great location, close to everything, but apart from breakfast I would advise budget travellers to eat out at local Cup restaurant(turn right, just 2 mins walk away) because the resort has great food but it's quite expensive - over double the local prices outside the resort.

Great Location and accomodation”
I very much enjoyed my stay at Milky Bay resort. It was an easy place to relax and unwind. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff and were lucky enough to get upgraded to a villa. The only down side was perhaps the fact the beach didn't have the white sands that other places did further up the island (we stayed in Hat Salat for a few days after our stay at Milky Bay and the beach was lovely). Although the restaurant prices weren't as cheap as the markets or small restaurants around town (Thong Sala), I was happy to pay extra for the good quality food we were served. The location is great and there was a real mix of the type of people that were staying. I travelled with my friend, but there were couples and families also staying at the resort.

One of the best places to stay on Koh Phangan!”
Milky Bay is the best all-round places we've found to stay on Koh Phangan and we've returned many time. This place is consistently high value for the price. Great beachside restaurant and bar. Genuinely friendly and polite reception and restaurant staff. The villas are massive and bungalows are always impeccably clean and well maintained. Highly recommended

Awesome resort!”
We LOVED the Milky Bay Resort- From the first moment the staff were so friendly! (They were the friendliest we encountered our whole trip!) Our room was really well designed- got a full concrete room, with a nice big bathroom- very modern! Best Mattress of our trip, not rock hard like the others. Free DVDs and internet from reception was a plus! The restaurant was great! Had most our meals there- and the wood fired pizza was just awesome! We played some table tennis and chilled at the bar. The weather was nasty the WHOLE time, I would love to see how lively this resort is in the sunshine! We went to the half moon party- the staff had it down pat- they had already organised transport for their guests- it was so well organised.
