Hotel & Resort Club : Thailand Hotels & Resorts Reservations

"Stayed in bungalow 208, great locn near the pool. Quite small rooms but very clean and the staff were fabulous. Would definitely stay at Banana Fan again if we return to Koh Samui"

"Once again the Banana Fan Sea Resort proved to be a wonderful experience.The staff are so friendly, service excellent and location perfect.This was our 5th time there and will not be the last."

"We have been going to Koh Samui every year for the last 10 years. This was our first visit to Banan Fan Sea Resort. The pictures do not do it justice. It was a beautiful resort. We stayed in the beachfront 2 bedroom villa, it was gorgeous. We had the best holiday ever in Koh Samui, mostly because of this resort. The service, staff, rooms everything was just perfect. We have already booked again for next year. We are counting down the days. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"Great hotel with a staff that is truly extraordinay. A special thanks to the general manager Mr Supit Choo-In and to his assistant miss Mas for helping us when we had problems with one of the ferry companies.Banana Fan Sea has the best hotel restaurant we tried on Samui(4 hotels). I recommend the feature weekly evening buffets and the breakfast is very good also. Great pool and super beach location. Good for children. The best stay we had on Samui. Peter, Copenhagen Denmark."

"The staff are very nice people. Had a great holiday, never to forget!"

"The hotel is in good shape, the staff are very friendly and efficient. The food was good but theme nights are now discontinued which is probably a good thing because of low attendance and prices. I really enjoyed my stay there. The location is superb with access to the beach. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"That was perfect."

"We stayed at Banana Fan (a medium size resort) for 4 nights in February during the Chinese New Year holiday. I am American and my husband is British, in our 30s and we live in Beijing. This was our second stay at Banana Fan in the Deluxe Bungalows which are a good value for the price as they are nice, clean, of a decent size, the resort is beachfront and located on a strip of Chaweng (not Bophut) that has all the amenities (restaurants, shops, pharmacies, massage, etc) steps away but is quieter and less exciting than other parts of chaweng. The hotel grounds are lovely, pool is nice (medium size) and the beachfront area is also nice with beachfront massages available for 200-300 baht. That said, the room with a nice size private balcony was comfy and clean but not luxurious. Our TV looked like it was from the 80s and there was no DVD player or any other technology available, though there was strong A/C. The bathroom is also quite basic though clean. The breakfast buffet by the beach/pool is good with an egg station, a couple thai dishes, breads/pastries/cereals, fruit, salad, etc. It is good but not outstanding with minimal rotation in options each day. It starts at 7 am (goes to 10 am) which is a bit late if you book any diving or boat trips as those all pick you up around 7 am. Would be better if they could start the breakfast at 630 am for people going on trips. Lunch options are also good. Service is satisfactory, again nothing particularly outstanding or disappointing. One minor item we noticed when we checked in is that they have a board welcoming guests checking in that day by name and pointing out return guests. Our names were not there when we checked in which doesn t make you feel too good when you re also a return guest. And they wouldve known when we were arriving as we had the hotel pick us up at the airport (no problems with that - 400 baht for 2 people). Not a huge deal but if you don t make sure to include everyone it s better not to do it at all. Just an example of attention to the details. Beach-wise we noticed the water here was much rougher than when we moved down the beach to Chaweng Regent which we enjoyed much more (though it is more expensive there), water was so much calmer at that end of the beach and the area was much livelier and with a much younger crowd which we preferred. Important point - the early morning rush to claim beach chairs does seem to happen here (at least it did when the hotel was fully booked like when we stayed.) This is stressful as it meant we needed to set our alarms each morning for 7 am to make a mad dash to save chairs or risk having nothing all day. We much preferred the no saving beach chairs policy that chaweng regent employed which meant that chairs were usually available at any time of the day as staff would move people s things when chairs were claimed but left unoccupied for long stretches (or maybe they just had more chairs too). It also seemed that some pool staff at banana fan were selectively helping a few guests to reserve chairs in the early AM which made us uncomfortable. Crowd-wise banana fan seemed to cater to many older guests with a few young families and younger couples here and there. It s not the place for a party vibe but it is relaxing while still being busy. The free wifi (if you bring your own computer) is a very nice plus though you do have to pay if you use the internet in the hotel lobby -- better to just go to one of the several internet cafes nearby. Ninja Crepes a bit down the street is a decent, very cheap option for thai food though not luxurious at all and not somewhere you d want to eat too many meals but ok once or twice. open 24 hours. We did enjoy it here on two vacations but don t think we d stay again as I think we can find better options. Happy travels :) <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"This hotel was great. The towels were rolled up to resemble rabbits in our room on arrival, the room was gorgeously clean and the facilities were as described. The breakfast was incredibly varied and delicious. I would definately recommend this resort to friends. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"
