"Had a wonderful stay at cocos, would have liked to stay longer!! we had 4 nights there, the fan rooms are clean comfty and compact and set in a nice spot. run by 2 lovely freindly guys, who were very helpful and the rest of the staff were lovely. its nice and quiet of a night, and the beds are super soft. i would recommend this place to others. spot on."

"I stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The bungalows are tastefully decorated and clean...each with a balcony and your own hammock. There is a really good vibe here and it s all geared towards chilling out, the bar and restaurant have lots of pillows to lie around on which is a nice touch. If you are feeling adventurous though, the owners, Adam and Lee are more than willing to share their island advice with you. Coco gardens can also assist you with bookings for your onward travel should you wish to leave. Only slight bad point is that the sea here is too shallow to swim in but it s easy to get to the numerous other beaches for a dip."

"Coco Garens is an oasis of calm! Great location, good service from Adi and Lee who run it and it has the best Thai food on the Island! Really good value for money and 10 mins away from the full moon parites. rooms are basic but decorated really nicely, a/c is a must in high season! Thanks Coco Gardens for a brillent week!"

"Small bungalows whitout refridge and property lamps. Acsess to water is not always avibale. The beach was no good, rocky and dirty. The stuff are nice but they like dogs alot."
Linda Dellstål. Holland. Mar 08

"Super accommodating, wonderful food, great value for the price, awesome bartender. we will stay here again!"

"A budget bungalow. The bed was rockhard, and made noisy sounds when you moved yourselve. But staff was helpful and friendly. Will probably not stay there again."
Mikael Nordstrom. Sweden. Feb 08
"Good atmosphere, nice people, good for economy budget, but if you need that ekstra comfort you may want to consider other more expensive places. Coco Gardens give you good value for money, and they have a nice beach bar but area on that side of Phanang is still under continuous development and there is not too many great restaurants around as most of the good ones are in Haad Rin. After a few days we moved to Haad Son as we were more comfortable there."

"If you are looking for a well-run, chilled-out, fairly-priced place with plenty of character and great absolute beach front location then we can t recommend Coco highly enough! We loved it so much we extended our stay from 4 to 10 nights within one day of checking in. Adrian and Lee are very cool and took really great care of us and a heads up to the lovely Tai who quietly and efficiently keeps it all together -and to Lek, probably the best barman on Koh Phangan, at possibly one of the nicest beach bars on the island (tho ssh, we would want to let the secret out too much - it s not a wild party zone, just a really great bar!) Food was great, service great from all the staff, and tho the room type we chose was indeed very basic, it was great for the price and right on the beach. Baan Tai may not be the nicest beach on the island and not great for swimming, but it has a nice wild feel, a constant cooling breeze and is very conveniently located as a base from which to explore the rest of the island. We love Coco and will defintely be back! (if there s any room after this review!). Just one small word of caution, which applies all over the island, be mindful of security and dont get too chilled out you get blase about that. See you in a couple of years Coco! ps hope Fatty the beach dog is still going strong when we get back".
Stephanie & Mick. UK. Feb 08
"really nice place, and the staff are great, i had a simple bungalow which was still really nice and right in front of the water and not to expensive. Only down side is that the beach for my stay was really windy and had been for about two weeks so i was forever trying to find other beaches to go to."
Leigh Andrew Cooper. Australia. Feb 08
"Well rooms were great value for money 2 owners Adrian & Lee are great and all the staff are brilliant absolutely no complaints... Lek the barman is sound highly recommend to stay here"
Erica Maria Shevlin. Ireland. Jan 08
"We stayed 3 nights for the Full Moon party and could not have been more happy! The owners Adrian and Lee wil go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Nothing is too much effort! Rooms are simple yet contain everything you need. Food is delicious and so are the cocktails from the bar which is right on the beach! People even came from other accommodation to use our bar! 15 min taxi ride to Full Moon which was perfect as when the party was over you could go home to sleep withour hearing the continious music that you would if you stayed in Haad Rin. Coco Garden even has a facebook group its that popular! Thanks for an amazing 3 days."
Ellie McKenzie. Australia. Jan 08
"Coco Garden was a great place to stay. Perfect location, amazing bungalows, cheap good quality food and really good service. Would definately recommend staying there, you can just spend all day taking in the sun and relaxing or you can get anywhere you need to be on the island by scooter or taxi so why not stay somewhere nice!"
Tess Drewit. Australia. Jan 08
"awesome....i enjoyed my stay at coco garden...it was lovely....i loved the bar, the service and the staff is really friendly....good location....i simply loved it...."
Smruti Popat. India. Jan 08
"We were supposed to stay here for 5 days, but we extended the stay with 4 more days. We wanted to stay there longer but they were all full because of the Full Moon Party. Beautiful settings, quiet location, great and helpfull staff and owners, really good food at good prices, nice bungalows just a few steps from the beach, cosy beach-bar, all in all a great place to stay at a good price, great value for money. When we come back to Phangan we will for sure stay at Coco Garden!"
Linda & Amir. Norway. Jan 08
"Coco Gardens was by far the best resort that we have had the oppurtunity to stay at in thailand. The rooms were clean, the bar and resturent were great, the staff were friendly and helpfull, the location was excellent and most of all the two owners Adrian and Lee went out of there way to make our stay pleasent and enjoyable. Thank you guys for making it a great one and if im back that way again their is no doubt in mind were i will be staying!"
Mike Bowman. Australia. Jan 08
"Well were do we start - genuinley bloody brilliant!!! food, company, atmosphere, hospitality, views, cleanlines all top marks and more. The owners Lee & Thai do anything to make you feel welcome, will be going back next year (for a bacon cheeseburger!), this place out of the centre but worth it a million times over, jo, emma and Rosin U.k, Ireland x x"

"I did choose this accomodation based on reviews and maybe I was being a little naive, this is probably a different experience in the sun but when we were there it was raining and it wasn t what I expected at all. The beach that the bungalows are right on top of is just a strip and is dirty. The bungalows looked great from the outside but the facilities were basic to say the least, I didn t expect luxury but a flushing toilet (a bucket was supplied) and a clean basin would have made things more comfortable, I also wish someone had told me that there would be no sheets on the bed just a towel and that we would need to be covered in mozzy repelant at all times (cracks in the floor). The reviews said that this was a super friendly place to stay, and the bar area was cozy and the food and drink good (and cheap!) but we weren t really given a warm welcome by the english speaking staff. This is also quite far away from anything and the walk to the main road is not for the faint hearted - we had to wade through water that forced us to throw our shoes away! As I said, it was raining and I m sure if the sun was out it would have been different so maybe this is one just for the summer months!"
Miss L Morris. UK. Oct 07
"Better late than never :-). The greatest place we have ever stayed, booked 4 nights but stayed 11. Great rooms, amazing food and the kindest people. And of course a great beach bar, were we spent quite some time :-) We cant wait to go back and see how Adrian, Poom and Lee are doing. Best wishes from Mikkel and Eva"

"Beautifully serene setting in pleasant gardens with stunning views and footstep access to the beach (which we virtually had to ourselves for our three days ;) ) Air con bungalow was very clean and beautifully presented with thai decor; bathroom great too and the hammock on the terrace overlooking the beachfront made this our favorite stay in Thailand. However the infrastructure will only go so far to make your stay a pleasant one....... The biggest praise must go to Adrian, Lee and their wonderful team of locals (especially Pom and the Chef) who made our stay a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and the small touches of customer service combined with the excellent facilities to make this place a truly wonderful destination. Cannot recommend this highly enough; make your stay on Koh Pan Gnan special and go see the guys at Coco Gardesn... and give them our best wishes ;) Richard & Kay."
Richard. UK. Sept 07
"To Adrian, Lee and the great staff, Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and your fantastic accomodation and facilities. Travellers wishing to go to Koh Phangan - do youself a favour and end your google search and simply stay at the Coco Gardens. Location is ideal , the restaurant was superb, the rooms were clean and very good, the bar had great atmosphere music and people and everything was reasonably priced,perfect for the budget traveller. So get that tab started again lads and we will see you next year (and in greater numbers!!)"

"We travelled thailand for a month this august and this was by far the best place we stayed!! The location is great, views are beautiful and bungalows are really nice. The staff were really friendly & the food in the restaurant was always great. The beach bar serves the best cocktails in the whole of thailand, worth going even if you dont stay there! Had an amazing 4 days here and would definately return!"

"FANTASTIC!!!!!!
We found Coco by accident and intended to stay for 2 nights. But ended up meeting such a good group of people at the bar we stayed for just over 3 weeks. Didn't seem half as long though as the staff are excellent and will do anything for you. Also the bar is the busiest on the beach and while we were there attracted all the residents from the neighbouring resorts. In conclusion: clean, great food, good value. The best place we have stayed so far, made some great friends and definately hope to return. ps the guards dogs are cool."

"Checked into a pretty little fan bungalow for 2 nights and stayed for 10! This place is a real gem... best I've experienced in Thailand. Accommodation was clean w/ beautiful surrounds & good location; owners & staff were friendly and helpful & always up for a laugh; the beach bar attracted people from all around w/ super music & atmosphere, met many great characters; and the food at the restaurant was delish. Highly recommend a visit - hope I've the chance to return some day."
Aisling. Ireland. June 07
"WOW! what a fantastic time we had at Coco Gardens - the staff couldnt have been friendlier, everything we could have wished for and more was given, food is fantastic, and as for the beach bar.....many fun nights in a chilled atmosphere. Beach is beautiful, with amazing views from our bungalow. We can t thank you guys enough, we will never forget all the great memories - need i say more!?"
Charlotte Heap. UK. May 07
"The bungalows are cosy and have a nice balcony and comfy hammock, but no fridge or anything else. The room wasnt cleaned for the three nights we were there and i got the feeling it would never have got cleaned. We had to ask for clean towels and more toilet paper. Its a bit over priced but its ok its got a nice beach bar and its close to Thong sala."
