Zheng Zhao Hui 2009-05-15	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach I enjoy the staying at Palita lodge very much! The place is like a home. The rooms are clean and beautiful. The facilities are friendly. The boss and the staffs are always smile and very helpful to make my vacation happy and comfort. My friends and I had a very sweet experience there in Palita.	Good. Reply prompt and clear.
Anna Semencha 2009-05-12	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Привет русским!!! Отель хороший, чистенький и прекрасно расположен на самом Фул Мун Пати пляже. Отель находится в небольшом отдолении от тусовок (метров 200), так что ночью музыка не орет и вообще когда заходишь в отель все мило и мирно. Море отличное, заход в море плавный, отливы не ощущаются, но если вы решите ехать с детьми, не рекомендую брать отель в период Фул Мун Пати, т.к. цены на отель повышаются, кучи подростков пьяных шляется по пляжу, ну и сам пляж оч грязный после проведения вечеринки...не очень было приятно. А так - остров супер, а этот отель - лучшее предложение на острове!
Jurgen Bonett 2009-02-15	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Palita Lodge is the ultimate Home away from Home . We stayed there for 9 nights and the staff became like family. Constantly looking out for us and sharing stories. Palita is right in the hub of things being a minutes walk up, and right on, Haad Rin beach but still far enough away to enjoy a decent night s sleep during the Full Moon build up and Party night. They have a a range of accomodation levels. We stayed in their most basic Villa B which had hot water and A/C and were quite satisfied. The rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels, sheets, bottles of water etc. The higher level villas are great but for the budget wary traveller you can t go past the value here. The food they have is very good and very well priced so there is almost no need to explore any of the many other eateries if you re wary. There is a large pool if you prefer that to the beach but we found ourselves spending alot of time right out front lazing around and wandering up to eat. I would recommend Palita to anyone and will definitely be staying there on my next visit to Koh Phangan.	This online booking service is the best I experienced in all my travels to Thailand.
Ronald H Ditloff 2009-02-02	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach the hotel is nice, great pool, good restaurant, nice staff, but the B villa sucked, there was no place to put cloths etc. no charm. Looked like the expensive new villas were pretty deluxe. the beach here is awesome as well. One very big complaint, and I know this is the party spot, but hey, a person has to sleep! The techno/rave beat going full blast till 6am was just too much! We tried to check out early, only to be told we would have to pay for our remaining 2 nights anyway. Not an option. Wife says we will never be back to koh Phanang!	no problems, but I don t like the fact that if you reserve and only pay the first night, you are still trapped for the duration.next time I will just wing it
Mar Codi 2009-01-15	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach A good hotel, but for the money I expected a bit more; the room is a bit spartan but very clean. Excellent position, in the most quiet corner of Haad Rin Beach, and 5 minute walk from the village center;rooms 20 meters from the sea! Nice swimming pool; breakfast ok.	Good Hotel, everything ok
matthew Spurling 2009-01-05	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Was nice enough. First we booked into the most basic room but upgraded because it stunk like urine. They expalined though that they would soon be getting rid of these bungalows... Nice staff. Nice beach but very windy (we where there in Dec). Noisy at night but still on quiet end of beach. Unless you intend to stay out partying every night would suggest not staying in Hadrin as is quite dirty and crowded. But the rest of the island was quite beautiful...	No probs despite anxieties
Roshni Shah 2008-12-30	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Great location and super friendly staff. Our bungalow (A/C and hot water) was fairly basic but clean. could do with a full length mirror. Overall I would recommend.	Very simple and quick.
Theodor Foerster 2008-09-08	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach This is the spot to be in Haad Rin. It might look a bit expensive (and for some it just will be), but it is the best trade off between partying and relaxing. The bungalows are located on the sunrise beach. 5 minutes walk from where all the parties happen. This is just brilliant. The pool is quite big and allows to do some serious exercises after a chilly day at the beach. The rooms are clean and light. The best place to stay, if you want to go partying and relaxing at Haad Rin s most famous beach.
Ekaterina Kovalenko 2008-08-06 until 2008-08-07	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Me and my husband stayed in Palita Lodge B what was a nice mordern villa with a beautiful bathroom. Loved the beach there. Will highly recommend it for a romantic stay (I assume not during the full moon what we missed).	very good
Namrin Bussayadilokskul 2008-07-25 until 2008-07-26	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach nice hospitality. foods are good. love the pool. great location and rather quite when off season or off fullmoon party. clean and sandy beach.
Rod Bird 2008-06-30 until 2008-07-02	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach We enjoyed our stay at Palita Lodge very much. The hotel is in an ideal situation on the beach and is down the quieter end. The beach is stunning. The room was clean and the food good. Would go back again.	Excellent as usual.
Miss Kavita Mirpuri 2008-05-31 until 2008-06-02	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach staff are very friendly. Rooms were nice with air con. In a central location on the beach. Great pool area, and right on thr beach. Would recommend
Leo Yeung 2008-05-27 until 2008-05-28	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach We stayed in a Palita Suite Type B room(no living room). The first impression on the hotel wasn t comfortable because we had to walk along the beach dragging our luggage on sand to get to the resort, and the front desk looked more like an old Chinese grocery store in San Francisco. The check in process was quick and we were greeted with a couple of drinks. When we were led to our room and walked by the swimming pool, we were amazed how classy it can be. When we arrived at our room, we were overwhelmed. The room is superior. Very classy, very clean, and very roomy. Hugh bed, good AC, trendy bathroom, and a semi-outdoor tub for you to enjoy. Very beautiful renovation for the small price you pay. Our room is the Palita Suite Type B room(no living room) and it is the newer addition to the Palita Lodge. I didn t have a chance to check out the Palita Beach or the Palita Villa room types but since they were older, I would assume a more basic look for these. The resort is located right on Haad Rin beach with SOFT WHITE FINE SAND that you can walk on bare feet. Very nice location. The swimming pool is gorgeous, but the restaurant is rather simple and old. Again, you can watch the latest movies all day long at the restaurant but I would much rather spend my time on the beach. The only complain I have is the hot water. It has enough for you to enjoy your shower, but it doesn t have enough for the semi-outdoor tub. They do ask for a $1000 Baht deposit for the room in case of damage or mini-bar purchases. They do not need your VISA card nor your Passport. They are very nice people to talk to and comfortable to deal with. Overall, I give 4.5 out of 5 for this room.	The hotel listing is great. It gives me all the hotel options with the ability to sort by price. The turn-around time for the hotel reservation was one day. The process was smooth with credit card payment. I was worried a bit about the booking since I wasn t booking directly with Palita Lodge but when I arrived, they already have my information and the billed was stamped PAID . To my surprise, the price listed here IS the price you pay at the end. There are NO HIDDEN CHARGES or TAXES. Overall, I give the booking service a 4 out of 5. It would be a great improvement to have the hotel itself to send booking confirmation with payment details back to me to ensure me the booking is confirmed. After-all, you do get stuck on Koh Phangan with no ferry going back to Koh Samui after 6pm.
Cristian Bonvissuto 2008-04-20 until 2008-04-25	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Another great time at the Palita Lodge! Luxury bungalows and friendly management on the less noisy side of the unforgettable Had Rin beach, right next to everything! Thank you, and see you soon again!	Perfect!
Chow May 2008-03-22 until 2008-03-24	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach I got the Suite B room for 2 nights. The Room is Beauty, Big, Clean, & Nice! However, the A/C in our room seems not enough! The Open Bath Area is Nice & Peace, but there will be Mosquito flying around since it s Open Area!! Staffs are so nice & helpful! Hotel Location is very Good, it s away from the Noise & Crowded Area of the Beach, but not too far (5mins walk on Beach)! It keep the Hotel Quiet but still very convenience!! I will book this hotel for sure next time I travel!!
Amy Charlett 2008-03-21 until 2008-03-24	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Great location but you have to accept that it will be noisy if you want to be on the beach. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. The Palita Suites are amazing. The pool was really nice and always clean.	Fast and efficient.
Rebecca Reed-Sperrin 2008-03-19 until 2008-03-24	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Really nice hotel, great ppol, good location for full moon party (but not too noisy!) and excellent staff.
Lyle Getto 2008-03-04 until 2008-03-07	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach i had a fantastic stay at the palita lodge. the service was fantastic but not overbearing. they let you relax and were very helpful when asked but they let you be and dont push anything on you like tours or massage etc. highly recommend. you can hear the music from the party area down the beach so be for warned.	smooth, no problems. quick email reply.
Melanie Dickerson 2008-03-01 until 2008-03-05	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Loved this little retreat in Haad Rin. Beautiful beach on Sunrise side, despite what we d heard in advance of travelling and we were upgraded when we arrived, to a refurbed bungalow with lounge for free. What a room! Not cheap, but well worth the £65 per night we paid and our friend, who travelled with us, had a much cheaper, more basic bungalow for £25 a night, so they cater for all budgets. Family-type run service, friendly people and good food. Highly recommended.	Great service, no complaints
Katie Griffiths 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-25	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach This is a great place to stay, we were 3 girls going for the full moon party and it was best location you could get. Service was awsome and the pool is the best part about the hotel, its lovely. I highly recomend it, even if you arent going for the full moon party, it is a perfect distance from the noise.
Wendy Boso 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-25	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach The hotel staff was fantastic!!!! We stayed over the full moon party in Feb. and had a blast. We were welcomed with a drink and the included breakfast we had every morning was a fantastic way to start the day. Our rooms were a bit outdated but I was suprised that they were cleaned and we received new water eveyday. Nice touch!	Easy
Brett Bielory 2008-02-16 until 2008-02-20	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach A+++!!! Best place to meet single travellers. Hotel staff and guests are warm and friendly. Don t expect the most glamorous accommodations if you get the beach front villa, but do expect a clean and warm environment. Do not stay at this hotel or any other on HAAD RIN Beach if you are a family and wish to catch some ZZZZ s....We were two 24 y.o. travellers looking to experience the haad rin nightlife to the fullest and we slept on the beach during the day. Our room served as a pure storage room and shower station. (Order any shake on their menu! They are all to die for!) I ll be back to Palita and hope to see you all there as well.	Very efficient!
Kylie Odell 2008-02-06 until 2008-02-09	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Really great people and really fantastic food. Nice and relaxing during the day, the only thing is that it does get a bit noisy at night due to the bars down the beach but thats OK. The hot water systems didn t work in our bungalows and they were doing some renovations which started at, like 7am!!! But the pool, food and the people made up for it - I d definately stay there again!	Easy - no problems
Robert Mijatovic 2008-02-04 until 2008-02-08	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Palita lodge was one of our favourites. We stayed in one of the type B villas which was great value compared to some other resorts we stayed at. The room was new and very clean, great bathroom and nice big bed. The pool area is great and the location of the lodge is on the quieter end of Sunrise beach but a short walk to all the action. The staff couldn t do enough for us whenever we had a query and made our stay a real joy. If I ever head back to Koh Phangan I ll be staying here again.	Easy and helpful.
Erica Wilesmith 2008-01-19 until 2008-01-24	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach My boyfreind & I stayed 6 nights at Palita over the full moon party period. There are a good range of bungalows from basic huts to deluxe with a/c starting at the beach working backwards & set around a lovely garden & pool. Our a/c bungalow was clean & modern. They gave us 2 free bottles of water a day & left clean beachtowels on the balcony each morning. Breakfast was included, all loosley based on English breakfast but not for me! I stuck to poached eggs on toast (which were lovely) & fruit. The staff were lovely & offer alot of services on site-money exchange, travel bookings etc. They have a nice pool with ocean view & lilos, snorkles etc for use. We enjoyed our stay at Palita & would merit it as a good place to stay. At the quieter end of the beach(which was nice, the noise must be really loud further down the beach) but still close to everything.
Miss Kathleen Patricia Robson 2008-01-18 until 2008-01-25	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach It was absolutely perfect from the beach bungalow for the Full Moon Party, the buffet on the Night, to the really nice room with the sunken bath and waterfalls! The service and people were absolutely fantastic! Hi Lay!! Best Honeymoon place you could ask for that suited us to a tea so much we stayed 3 more days!! We will be going back to Palita Lodge again and again!!	Thanks to the website we didn t have to walk up and down the beach looking for accomodation in the Hot Thailand sun! Our credit card has not been touched other than what was supposed to be taken. I will no doubt use it again!!
Åke Nilsson 2008-01-17 until 2008-01-21	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Very friendly and familiar resort with exellent and cheap food. We stayed in two of the garden bungalows, the bungalows was clean with working A/C but basic. The family that runs the resort are very helpful and really takes care of you. The new built pool was lovely and the beach was perfect. We did not have any problem with noise from the moon partys up in our garden, but the noise could be a little disturbing if you stay in one of the beach bungalows.	Very good
celia 2008-01-14 until 2008-01-18	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach The Palita Lodge had a good location and beautiful beach,although I had a basic bungalow.I enjoy to stay.
Angela Khor 2008-01-08 until 2008-01-09	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach A lovely hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the setting was beautiful! We stayed in the garden bungalow which was basic but clean and had quite comfortable. There is a really pretty pool area that looks out onto the beach. I would love to come back to this hotel again.	The Sawadee staff were very helpful as I had to change my booking a couple of times initially. However, at Palita Lodge, the staff couldn t seem to find my reservation. I guess they did eventually though as it worked out fine. I would be happy to book through Sawadee again!
Briana Bejarano 2007-08-18 until 2007-08-21	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach The staff here is so friendly. I am definitely coming back here. The bungalows are perfectly clean and adequate, the breakfast is great, and the beach of course is amazing. The only thing is that it can be a bit noisy at night, but that s everywhere on Haad Rin.	Great reviews, great service.
Rik & Gjalt 2007-06-08 until 2007-06-09	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Very friendly staff and good food in the seaside restaurant. Next to this, the Island feel just make you want to stay a few days longer, which we did in this very inviting resort. A swimming pool is being added shortly.	very good.
Debbie Gardner 2007-04-17 until 2007-04-19	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Very friendly and helpful staff. I d definately stay there again
Victoria Briscoe 2007-03-12 until 2007-03-16	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Good location on the far end of Hat Rinn beach away from the main nightlife. Would strongly recommend the quieter huts in the gardens as although it was lovely to have a seaview it was v noisy at night until the early hours. Food amazing. Staff friendly and helpful. Generally laid back - would strongly recommend staying here.	Book direct if you can, you might get a better rate.
Henrik Vigren 2007-01-29 until 2007-02-05	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach I had a beach front bungalow and found it to be spacious and comfortable even if its basic. A few minutes walk from drop inn and cactus bar makes it possible to sleap at nights.	perfect
Lars Haavik 2007-01-17 until 2007-01-20	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach Great place. Very very friendly staff. rooms are ok but nut luxurious. We ended up staying longer than expected. Also a fantastic location on the beach.
Saye Mkangama 2006-10-26 until 2006-10-31	Palita Lodge, Haad Rin Beach I had planned to stay in Koh Phangan for 3 days but ended up staying longer. If you are coming to Koh Phangan then you need to stay here. The suites are pretty impressive, the place is very well run and the staff cannot do enough for you. The location on the sunrise beach is perfect - less than 5 mins walk to the Catcus Bar and Drop-in Bar where all the action happens. Staff also take you to the pier for your onward journey - thoroughly recommend!	No problems here!
