Reviews of Palita Lodge - SHA Plus 3 stars

We got everything we need in the lodge: nice rooms, nice pool, great beach (with sap and boat for free from the lodge), amazing food (we ate mostly in the lodge), resting area and great service!

Bathroom is a bit small and dark

The location is perfect, right on the beautiful Haad Rin beach with soft sand and clear water. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and always happy to help, making our stay even more enjoyable.

It was a sweet family resort. On the quieter side of the island which is lovely. Definitely highly recommended. Had the best sleep!! The most comfortable bed I slept while in Thailand.

Location is fantastic, staff was amazing, the restaurant was good. Nothing bad to say. Great place to stay on Koh Phangan

Nice hotel just not the correct area of island for us and more teenager crowds

Everything was great, very friendly staff and an amazing location

The owners and staff were so helpful and friendly.

The downtown area of Had Rin is a bit ugly and over buit now... Palita lodge is lovely

The location of this gem is right on the beautiful beach of Haadrin. Walking out the back you will find Lotus and 7-11 within a 2-minute-walk. The restaurant in the hotel is really good and reasonably priced, but there are also many other restaurants close by for a change. The breakfast menu has a good variety, even cappuccino or iced coffee were included, not only the regular americano. And you get a refill if you like. Breakfast is served in the restaurant directly next to the beach. We loved the views in the morning. During the day, you can relax on the beach or the big pool. They have beach "sacks" to lay on and you get new beach towels every day. At the pool they have loungers and umbrellas. Sun or shade - there are spots for all likings. A big plus for us was that the internet is fast and stable. On a rainy day we watched Netflix on the smartTV in the room without problems. Also working online (videoconferences) work out perfectly all over the premises. The house keeping is doing an amazing job. Even though the bungalows are located in a lush green garden, everything is extremely clean and we had no mosquitos or other bothering insects in the room. You also get 2 new bottles of water every day and fresh towels. All staff extremely friendly and accommodating.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Staff was simply amazing, incredibly professional and helpful people. Room was big and had everything we needed. Food was very good. Just in front of the best section of the beach.

We should have stayed longer :(

Location was excellent right on the beech

Nothing

Took a close look after booking and decided not to stay. Beach location was noisy and unclean. Very commercial area,

Great beach location. Owner and all staff absolutely lovely. Food good. Only disappointment for us was swimming pool Closed for maintenance and not told in advance - compensated with a few free drinks and food. Beach lovely anyway so don’t miss pool.

Nothing

We booked a 3-night stay at Palitaloge but were only able to stay for 2 nights due to the extremely poor conditions. Despite this, no one from the hotel asked why we chose to leave early or offered any kind of support or compensation. From the first night, the room was a nightmare—completely different from the photos online. We found a large lizard in the room, the furniture was old, and the space was dirty. Worst of all, the bed was infested with bed bugs, which left us with multiple bites on our arms and legs. Throughout the stay, we kept finding small insects despite being very cautious. On the second night, we heard strange noises coming from the wooden table in the room, likely due to hidden insects or animals, which made it very hard to sleep peacefully. The swimming pool was completely unusable—dirty, green, covered with leaves, and totally different from the images online. Although the food at the restaurant was acceptable, we were horrified when a large snake appeared next to our table during dinner, right near the reception area. Another issue was that the air conditioning automatically turned off whenever we left the room, which is unacceptable in Thailand’s hot and humid climate. This allowed more insects to enter, making the situation worse. We shared our negative feedback multiple times during our stay, but the hotel staff showed no willingness to help or improve the situation. Additionally, we were asked to pay a cash deposit, which was not mentioned anywhere in advance, and didn’t reflect the actual condition of the hotel or room. Sadly, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The location is the best beach on koh phangan. The thai family that own the hotel were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Bugs can easily get through the doors, had a few visits from cockroaches and centipedes

Good location, nice staff, comfy mattress, big shower room and clean.
