“Loved staying here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This was one of my favorite places during my time in Thailand. The resort is right on the beach, so it has a beautiful view and atmosphere. It has it's own restaurant and bar (both great), and has a daily happy hour. The whole environment is very serene and relaxing. Everyone that works here is also very nice and accommodating. The accommodations are basically a lot of small cabins, so it is somewhat rustic. The cabins have a very intimate and relaxing feel to them though. The bathrooms are not great (the shower is basically just a shower head and is not separated off from the rest of the bathroom even with a curtain). It can get a little bit noisy at times too because the small cabins aren't exactly noise proof. However, I found the place to be very charming and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

“Fantastic staff! Fabulous position and accomodation”

We stayed here over the new years period and just fell in love with this place.

The staff really made the trip. They organise whatever you need, day trips, meals, transport. The food at the restaurant is some the best we had on the island. The breakfast was also some of the best we had.

The rooms are nicely furnished, comfortable and clean. The beds are fairly hard, but I like that so it suited. It's a very beautiful place, all the accomodation is surrounded by bamboo trees as high as a two story building. It is very beautiful.

Location wise, it is just close enough the Haad Rin that it is a cheap taxi, but far enough away to not have to deal with the craziness.

I would highly recommend staying here. It was a highlight of our trip.

“What a lovely little hotel this is.”

everything about this hotrl is great. To start it all off we were met at the pier by a member of staff and was transfered straight to the hotel, upon check in we was greated by the check in staff then smiothly checked in.

To be honest our room was a bit small and it could have done with a wardrobe, which would have come in handy considering we had to stay a minimum of 5 night due to the New Year celebrations at Haad Rin, the room it self was clean and tidy and located close to facilities that the hotel had to offer.

The pool was a bit covered by the trees etc but there was a 5 foot step to the hotels beach.

The resturant and bar area was also clean and tidy and offered the best food of all the hotels we stayed at on our trip.

Would I go back to The Milky Bay? Without a shadow of a doubt.

“Amazing stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

This resort is fantastic. The staff are extra friendly and helpful, the food is great, and the atmosphere is peaceful. My boyfriend and I (in our late twenties) stayed here for three nights and couldn't believe how luxurious it was. We stayed in one of the studio apartments, and it was spacious and spotless. From what I saw when I peeked at the other, smaller rooms, they were also great.

Stay here. You will not regret it. Don't worry about being away from Haad Rin - you will be thankful for the peace and quiet.

Room Tip: The studio apartments are very spacious - if you can splurge on the extra baht, do it - you'll b...

“BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING!!! if only we had stayed longer!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

So happy we got to spend one night at this amazing resort! We stayed in a standard aircon bungalow, which was small but very nice. It had everything we needed. The staff at Milky Bay are incredible, so wonderful and helpful! The restaurant is also brilliant! I recommend that anyone who stays here does the barbecue... my fish was so incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection, with a delicious potato! I have tried fish a number of times in Thailand and Milky Bay was the best by a mile! The location of the resort is so romantic and beautiful, right on the beach and away from the craziness which is Koh Phangan, but still close to Hadrin Beach. I miss this place already!
