This resort is located on one of the most beautiful beaches on Pha Ngan, which, despite its party reputation, is also home to some of the most marvellous feats of nature in the world. Despite this, it is worth renting a motorbike so you can explore the rest of the island. The roads are hilly and, on the east of... More

I stayed here over the Full Moon period with my boyfriend and 2 friends. We got the standard double room. Each of the rooms had a strange smell - a bit stale, as though the rooms hadn't been used in a while. Because I was put in the only room with no window, ventilation was bad and the room was... More

We stayed in standard fan room double and it was very nice, for the price we paid. The room is near the beautiful coral reef. The only bad thing is that they don't have fee wifi, but one of the restaurants had it so it was no problem.

First of all, I have to say that I was here during the full moon party, so I had to book for 4 Nights. We had book for the bungalow with air con for 900 baht/night. When we arrived, this room wasnt available, so they upgraded us for the family bungalow for the same price. But they told us that... More

When my taxi pulled up in front of the hotel am member of staff came out to greet me and carry my bags to reception. I was then checked in by a friendly and polite member of staff who spoke very good english. On the morning I checked out, I wanted to do so at 7am, and reception was opened... More

Smile is a small bungalow complex, run by very friendly staff.. Don't expect 5 star luxury, but if you are wanting the experience of real Thai culture head here. Basic but clean huts, excellent restaurant and the best bar on the beach!!!

I was meant to stay at smile for 3 nights and ended up staying for a month. it is hands down the best place i went. the beach is wonderful, the staff are so lovely and friendly, you get to know everyone else staying there, the food is amazing... i loved it and am already planning my next trip back!
