Spent 4 nights in Bottle Beach 1 in mid september and what an experience! We got the lomprayah ferry to koh phangan then a taxi to the north of the island to catch a long tail boat to bottle beach from chaloklom which was amazing in itself as we eventually arrived at bottle each in the dark. There are many... more

Some of the other reviewers are crazy - they moan that it is hard to get to, but that is the best thing about this beach ... it is completely cut off from elsewhere. No traffic at all, except for the longtail boats. Once here you have everything you need. It is beautiful, and the staff are great - they're... more

The beach is simply fantastic. Good for snorkling i both ends and lovely clean sand i the middle. Helpfull and friendly staff. The beach front bungalows have the best view you can image, but the new ones in the back are much better. Massage is the best we've had in Thailand. Food ok. Nice pool (but who needs that?) Booked... more

We stayed here early 2009, during a busy period. We managed to book the resort before we arrived at the beach. When we arrived, our room wasn't ready, despite being told it would be. So we had a couple of hours of hanging around. But let me tell you, I can think of worse places to be hanging around. The... more

This resort could be great, but overall, the owner needs to clean up their act a bit.The main downfall is the rude and lazy staff - they gave the impression that every request was too hard a task. We stayed in the garden hut which was clean and a good size at 500 baht. The restaurant menu was a bit... more

We where here over new year. This place could be great but it is dirty beaches and the hotels are really not well managed. It seems like nobody cares about this place. The pool was filthy. the gardens not cared for and the beaches had bottles, plastic bags and other garbage. It feels like the family that owns all the... more

Fantastic beach - and so pleased I chose to stay at Bottle Beach 1 resort. The food, service, view from my bungalow - all amazing. Friendly people run this place, and run it well. Excellent massage (the best I found in Thailand) on the beach with such calm surroundings and gentle but thorough massage. Arrived at Bottle Beach the night... more

We arrive on Bottle Beach via longboat from Chuloklum without a booking, and were offered a garden bungalow for 550 baht. The cheaper beach bungalows were full but were also tiny - definitely recommend the garden rooms. We had a tiled bathroom and a good strong fan, plenty of space and a cupboard (nice wooden floors), table and chairs, and... more

It doesn't get better than this, if you want a proper holiday, seclusion, a community feel and proper desert island heaven come here. You arrive by boat unless it's stormy and then live in tropical paradise. The staff are delightful despite being constantly harrassed by people expecting the Costa Del Sol and not opening their eyes to the bliss that... more
