James andrew luckman 2009-04-30	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach What a fantastic resort. It was just brilliant. Bar with free pool and table tennis, restaurant good priced food, cool swimming pool and great staff. Our bungalow was right on the beach with amazing views of the sunset. The rooms were a little small but it did not matter as the resort was worth it. I will definately be going back again. Hire a moped and discover the island too for £4 a day.	Excellent
Elizabeth Annells 2009-04-26	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Really lovely. The staff went beyond with their service. Rooms were clean and cool. Pool was great. Beach not so good for swimming. We hired a jeep and the staff were really helpful with telling us where to go.
Mag. rer. soc. oec. Grobner Silvia 2009-04-19	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I was astonished about the resort as the bungalows and the surrounding were arranged really beautiful and we could see how they loved details. The staff was so nice and they fulfilled all our wishes. Unfortunately we just stayed there for two days as we visited Koh Tao and Koh Samui as well. We were in several restaurants on all three islands and the restaurant of this resort was one of the best!!! The food was really great AND the sanitary facilities were clean which was a problem on most places. I definitely recommend this resort and will go there again.	This service worked without any problem and was really quick. Thank you very much :-).
Simone Petra Keller 2009-04-04	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The hotel itself is set up with lots of plants and is well kept. The staff is friendly. However, the location is very unfortunate as the beach is dirty and the water of the sea too shallow to swim. There are no other restaurants in walking distance. Therefore, I changed my plan and left after only 2 nights instead of 4. I was told that the hotels policy was to grant no refund at all. Strangely, the pick up from the pier was free of charge, but I had to pay for the way from the hotel to the pier.	The booking service was efficient.
barnel 2009-02-20	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Excellent endroit donnant sur la plage et plongé dans une végétation luxuriante. Merveilleux sunsets. Le personnel est professionnel et adorable, les chambres belles et originales. Notre séjour fut parfait. On y reviendra.	very good.
gomis 2009-01-26	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach pas grand chose de négatif...on a été déplacé pour un bungalow plus cher à deux mètres de la plage pour le même prix pour pas être dérangé, super!!!sinon chambre très belle et très confortable! petit hic, un bar derrière le bungalow avec un peu de musique ainsi qu une mauvaise chanteuse juste en face de la chambre. pas beaucoup de choix pour le petit déjeuner et un peu cher mais personnel très simpa et une belle piscine! a seulement quelques metres de la plages !
Petra Raisanen 2009-01-25	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Very nice resort, privat and calm. Very nice staff that are always tryeing to accomodate you in the best of ways. The resort has everything you could wish for and a slightly sofisticated touch. Good for honeymooners and couples that want a hide away. Complementarys to the kitchen, good meny.	easy as always with R24. No preblems.
Kim Nielsen 2009-01-22	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach very hard beds, good service, nice people at the reception,close too beach	easy
Charlotte Poulsen 2009-01-13	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Beautiful and good service. Only minus is the beach that is not good. My son and I had a great stay and enjoyed the place, the good service and that they also provide a babysitter.
ikmal nizam ariffin 2009-01-11	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach we were in milkybay for 4 nites. i was there with 9 of my friends and we had trips which will forever be in our hearts and our minds.. i actually read the comments online b4 confirming the hotel and everything that was said was spot on! Everything was just amazing, from the sunset to the staffs and service! if you need anything at all, look for billy, a south african chap that will help you out with anything at all. a very unique hotel where each room had a different theme to it. whether you re with your family or friends, definitely a great hotel to stay at.. thank you again milkybay!!	efficient as always
Peter Thomas McLean Ensor 2009-01-04	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I was quite disappointed with the Milky Bay Resort. I booked for a group which had a few different type of rooms. Myself I stayed in the bechfront jacuzzi room, the most overpriced room there. The bathroom had no air to it or proper drainage and made the whole room smell disgusting, they obviosly are aware of this with the plentiful amounts of incense they supply. The spa was dirty and un chlorinated. The location was good though for what we wanted and the food was okay but probably one of the most expensive palces to eat on the island. They also lost one of our gorups laundry, they showed no remorse nor did they offer any compensation. The five day min stay over new years is a rort as well, as was the gala dinner with free transfers to the full moon party.
Nicola Emmans 2009-01-03	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I could not recommend this hotel more!! Its about 15 mins from Haad Rin where the full moon party is, but they provide 24 hour transfers for 100BAHT ($4 Aus). The rooms are beautiful and have a real authentic thai feel. The staff could not have been friendlier and the restaurant food is A++. There is a cool bar and pool. It s also GREAT value for money! If you can afford to stay in one of the big rooms-do it, it s got couches, tv and the biggest bathroom i have ever seen!
Hayley Rackstraw 2008-12-30	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Hotel was very nice, rooms were clean, tidy, comfortable and rustic wood type huts. Staff were very helpful too.	Booking service was fine and efficient, with text message letting me know the availability of hotels when not online.
Noa Badash 2008-09-17	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach it was great!
Andrea Trocino 2008-08-13 until 2008-08-15	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Very bad accomodation....ok to stay in the jungle...but WORMS inside the bathroom....unconfortable bed....ugly service and UGLY SEA! i payed 2 days and i left this resort after the first day....no refund!	Everything ok!
Carinna Hockham 2008-07-17 until 2008-07-21	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Absolutely amazing! We could not have found better accommodation on the island. I would totally recommend this hotel. The beach wasn t amazing but the pool more than made up for it. GO THERE!!	Travelfish were really helpful and much more flexible than other websites I have used. Thanks travelfish!
Stephanie Chanti Eide Furguiel 2008-07-13 until 2008-07-16	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach This hotel was exellent. The people that worked there was helpful, and had great service. The Resort offers you everything that you possibly would need.(aktivities....) The Bungalows are beautiful an clean.The best resort in Thailand. Looking forward to be comming back soon.	very good and reliabal as always
David McAvoy 2008-07-06 until 2008-07-23	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I would recommend this resort to anyone who is planning to visit the island. The accomodation was excelent and the staff were superb who made our stay a plesant time.	A very good service, helpful all the way.
Eveline & Viktor Holz 2008-06-13 until 2008-06-17	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Die Lage des Hotels war für uns sehr gut. Vom Hafen 10 Minuten und der Stadt Thongsala. Moped sehr empfehlenswert. Hatten abends die Strassenküche in Thongsala genossen. Wunderbar! Das Hotel ist schön angelegt, allerdings gibt es sehr unterschiedliche Bungalows. Wir hatten einen sehr, sehr kleinen (B6) und wir könnten problemlos einen Tag später umziehen in E2. Diese Bungalows sind groß und hell und man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Wir waren Vorsaison (Juni), daher war die Ebbe bis 14 Uhr und abends die Flut d.h. Baden erst spät Nachmittag möglich. Es sind schöne und lange Spaziergänge am Meer möglich und es ist fast menschenleer. Wir waren mit dem Moped viel unterwegs, daher war es nicht so tragisch, da wir andre schöne Strände fanden. Die Preis/Leistung vom Hotel ist nicht ok. Frühstück und Essen zu teuer bzw. überbezahlt. Abwechslung ist nicht allzu groß. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Massagen waren ausgezeichnet professionell.	Sawadee ist verlässlich, alles wunderbar geklappt. Wir buchen des öfteren mit Sawadee. Danke!
Shannon Gebhard 2008-06-03 until 2008-06-04	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The room was absolutely fabulous! It was decorated nicely! The tree in the room added such character to it that impressed both of us immensely! The food at the restaurant was delicious. The service was amazing everywhere. Each person was helpful in answering all questions and providing assistance when needed. The pool was gorgeous and excellent for the mornings to swim, due to the low tide that lasted for the majority of the day. The best part of the hotel was the location on the beach. The view of the sunset was incredible! We went for a walk down the beach on our last night to enjoy the sunset from different views, and met some local Thai families and some cute children (for those adventurous folks). I highly recommend this resort to anyone who is willing to pay a little extra for fantastic comforts.
Koeman 2008-06-02 until 2008-06-05	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Relaxt Resort. Nice staff, nice and clean bungalows and the best breakfast i had in Thailand. Good atmosphere.	Good.
Franzi 2008-05-18 until 2008-05-24	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Nice resort, wonderful garden, rooms are big and stylish, food very good but bit expensive, friendly staff, nice pool, but: there is no beach and no place to swim!
James Hirst 2008-05-11 until 2008-05-14	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach You will have a great time at this resort. What can we say....Fantastic, fantastic and fantastic....When we arrived, orange juice on arrival, paid a fantastic promo rate and were UPGRADED to a fantastic studio (big enough to entertain 10 guests for social). Staff were great, English was tops, the service was superlative, the restaurant food BEYOND expectation (the owners apparently used to run restaurants...go figure!) This resort is run like a 5 star resort based on service. English speaking pursor/guides ensured every need was looked after, they went overboard to ensure we were happy....the rates were great, for extras we hired a jeep at a decent resort rate and went around the entire island...we had such a good room deal we didn t worry about unbooking the room while we bounced around other resorts on the island (check with them first tho)....they were very very friendly, professional, yet relaxed...they don t pressure you like Chaweng beach type resorts in Koh Samui....they offer you options and let you think about it. No pressure, no high sale, no need to barter....they just said we want you to come back so we want to look after you and they did. Perfectly they stuck to the truth of what they said when we walked in. Make this resort your choice!	Efficient, informative, reliable, relaxed....no pressure
Matthias Gerbert 2008-04-12 until 2008-04-15	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Very nice hotel with exceptional friendly staff. The rooms are quite big and stylish .I had a wonderful stay there. The only minus was that even they have a AIS Plus sign all around the resort, they won t accept the card for discounts and I got charged for Minibar items I didn t drink. Still thumbs up from me. Great place to be and i will definitely going back.
Timothy Olmsted 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-20	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I stayed with my wife and family for 5 nights at Milky Bay. The rooms were clean, but very small. The resort has a tremendous amount of foliage which is beautiful, but creates an effect that is rather claustrophobic and extremely hot and muggy. The staff was generally unpleasant and unhelpful. The set breakfast was nice, but the food otherwise was very expensive. I had decided to stay on Koh Panggon thinking that I would get more value than on Samui, where I d visited many times over the years. I was wrong. I ve never written a review of a resort before, and had decided not to when I left Milky Bay, but they asked. Koh Pangon is beautiful just the same.	The booking service was fast and efficient.
Rhona Duncanson 2008-02-14 until 2008-02-16	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Awesome as always, second time back and remomend it to everyone, it near the half moon party and only a short trip to Had Rin. Unreal staff, bar, pool. Recommend it to everyone.
Magnus Persson 2008-02-13 until 2008-02-25	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Great resort on a fantastic island. Nice and helpful staff.	Perfect.
Paul T 2008-02-11 until 2008-02-13	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Our stay was very pleasant and our upgraded room was great over looking the pool. Besides the fact that one couple had their passports and money stolen from the lockers, our experience was overall good. Only complaint was the receptionist that was very unfriendly. If Milky Bay had a helpful front desk person the stay would have been 100%	Booking service worked out fine.
PJS 2008-02-08 until 2008-02-16	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The Milky Bay Resort was a delightful hotel with friendly staff. We would be very pleased to recommend it to others. We were disappointed that the swimming pool was closed for the first 2 days of our stay, and that WiFi was not available as had been advertised.	Sawadee.com provided an efficient rapid service. Its website was clear and easy to use.
Per Arnbo 2008-02-03 until 2008-02-15	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Nice comfortable and very relaxed place, staff very friendly and helpfull, Restaurant serves Italien/Thai good quality food. I can highly recommend this place.
Scott Paris 2008-01-24 until 2008-01-27	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The hotel is quiet and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The restaurant, bar, pool tables, fitness centre, and staff are good too, but visitors should know in advance that there is no beach and the water is shallow and cloudy for 500 metres in front of the hotel. There really is no swimming or beach at Milky Bay.
Annika Ångman 2008-01-24 until 2008-01-27	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach I was very disappointed at there was no beach. When I booked, for several month before my visit, and looked at the picture it seems so nice and then when I got ther - no beach! Heard from antother guest that they later on has information on the website that they rebuilding the beach so I felt me a little deceived. When I talked to the hotelmanger she told us that it s a kind of naturecatastrof with high sealevel and the beach was off. But we had booked 3 nights and want only stay for 2 for that reason-but we couldn t get any money back we was told. Bad service ! The superier bungalows wasn t either so nice as I expected. Will never get back !	The booking was as always very good !
Sara Shneiderman 2008-01-20 until 2008-01-25	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Fantastic place with an excellent (if not cheap) restaurant. We enjoyed the pool and shallow water with our 2 year old son for 5 days. The villa rooms are beautiful and spacious. Highly recommended!
Sebastian Mair 2008-01-01 until 2008-01-05	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Very enjoyable stay and great, helpful staff. Standard rooms not worth the money so upgrade a better option. Food better than average (and a bit more expensive). Not much of a beach.
Paul Finn 2007-12-30 until 2008-01-03	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Great place. Great staff. Good times	very easy
Julian Panetta 2007-12-02 until 2007-12-05	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Amazing resort in a fantastic location. Drinks on arrival and excellent, friendly service everyday. The best pineapple and watermelon cups around!	Easy, simple and quick! Thanks Sawadee
Maurice Narse 2007-11-22 until 2007-11-26	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Great hotel, awesome restaurant with fantastic prices. Cocktails always great and the sunset on the beach everyday couldnt be better!! Room had a musty smell to it, and the hot water well more like coldish warm water which was a little bit annoying, but seriously was fantastic time with heaps of memories and plenty of my friends stayed here before and all loved it... really want a good time stay here.. staff are the cutest and always willing to help!!	Sawadee is an awesome service. Thankyou!
bree johnson 2007-11-22 until 2007-11-26	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach everything was excellent... the staff were very attentive and helpful... the studio room was beautiful...had a great stay.. highly recommend milky bay resort!
S 2007-09-23 until 2007-09-28	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Stayed in the studio apartments for 1 night then moved to beach front delux bungalow.Great service,the best food i have ever eaten in any resort, great atmosphere,friendly staff...i will recommend anyone who goes to thailand must go to koh phangnan & stay at milky bay, one of the best places i stayed in	Excellent as always
Michael Perner 2007-09-18 until 2007-09-22	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The Milky Bay Resort is a very nice Resort, clean rooms, very friendly staff, You got everything what you need.(Swimming pool, fitness area, tabletennis, pool) The beach is ok, but we rented a motorbike to visit the other beaches as well. We can recommend it!	Good, absolutely no problems
Rebecca Mills 2007-08-22 until 2007-08-25	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach This resort was paradise! My husband and I traveled through SE Asia for the last 16 days and Milky Bay was by far the best experience we had; the staff were amazing, the rooms were clean and pretty, the reasonably priced food was great, and the clean pool was a peaceful place to relax. When I booked the Milky Bay I noticed some negative comments about the beach - the tide is out in the morning, but it was still fun to walk out to the deeper water. I would recommend booking a snorkeling tour for a day as there is no snorkeling at the resort. I am recommending this resort to one of my best friends for her honey moon :0)	Great! Easy, quick, great communication.
Sinead Lonergan 2007-08-04 until 2007-08-11	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach The resort itself is beautiful with fabulous greenary everywhere.The standard twin rooms are exactly that..standard,but considering its so reasonably priced a little upgrade in rooms is the way to go. The staff are young, friendly,accomodating and great fun. Location wise its a bit out from either of the bigger towns but the resort will get you taxi s no problem! Our stay in the Milky Bay was pure luxary and as close to a stay in paradise as can be expected.... Thanx everyone, would definately consider staying there again on my next trip to Thailand.	easily done over the website...no hassle...
Mattias 2007-07-14 until 2007-07-16	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The only problem is that the sea is to swallow for swimming, but therefore they have a nice swimming pool. Comfortable bungalows. Good restaurant and don’t forget to taste a cocktail, some of them are served in a hollow coconut or melon – awesome!!! I would recommend this hotel for everybody who doesn’t need a sea for swimming in front of the hotel.	No problems at all.
Johanna 2007-06-27 until 2007-07-04	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach A very nice resort and very good service!! It´s a good place on the island. I think it´s one of the best resorts of koh phangan. Very nice and helpfull staff, the boss is also very friendly! Good breakfast and the restaurant is the best of koh phangan. Very clean and nice rooms!	very good, there where no problems!
Niina 2007-06-27 until 2007-07-03	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach What a beautiful place, a real paradise!!! The hole area was like a huge garden and after spending time at Bangkok and Samui their restaurant was absolutely the best! If youre going, select something else than standard room. When we booked, there was nothing else left and standard bongalow was very small and modest. If you are party people, I think Haad rin (10 min. by car) was much better, but for those who are looking after tranquillity, THIS IS IT!!	Ok, thanks
Evelyne Durhuus 2007-06-08 until 2007-06-10	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Milky Bay resort was my best stay in Thailand. The resort is fantastic, with own restaurant, bar, pool, pingpong, pool tabels, internet, massage and beach. The staff are very frindly and the room very good. If you want to do in still book room D2..Will diffently go back	excellent
sebbe nystroem 2006-11-22 until 2006-11-25	Milky Bay Resort, Ban Tai Beach Oh we love this place. We had a fantastic honeymoon at Milky Bay. Fantastic place, wonderful crew, nice and beautiful garden. Good Tasty food. Lovely bungalows. We recomend this place 100%.	No problem. Everything in order.
