    Very small gym, first room was right by the front entrance so asked to move as noise too loud from bar outside.

    Beachfront, the pool, the grounds. Lovely outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach. Plenty of sun beds. Loads of excellent restaurants within walking distance. Short cab ride from fisherman’s village.

    Work going on in the room next door whilst I was poorly in the room which was relatively noisy.

    Beautiful property on the beach, clean rooms, excellent house keeping staff, good food in the evenings. We want to give a huge thank you to the reception team as they took me to hospital when I was unwell thank you so much.

    Relaxing Beachside Bliss at Banana Fan Beach Resort

    My only minor observation is that there was occasionally some noise from nearby clubs and resorts at night. However, this didn't significantly detract from our overall enjoyment.

    My recent six-night stay at the Banana Fan Beach Resort in a Superior Double Room was a truly enjoyable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly courteous, polite, and accommodating, always ready with a smile and eager to assist. Our room was refreshed and cleaned daily (with just one minor hiccup quickly rectified). The overall service was excellent. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the breakfast. Included in our room rate, it offered a vast and plentiful selection, ensuring a great start to each day. The resort's facilities also impressed. The infinity pool overlooking the beach was simply stunning, providing a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. Having both a pool bar and a beach bar meant refreshments were always within easy reach. The pool itself was a good size, and the daily fresh pool towels were a welcome touch. The excellent WiFi throughout the resort was another bonus. The location of the Banana Fan Beach Resort is ideal for exploring the area. Being within walking distance of numerous bars, restaurants, and shops, with a supermarket conveniently located opposite, made it easy to get around and find everything we needed. Whilst the Big Buddha and other attractions aren't within walking distance, they are easily accessible by other means of transport. Overall, I would highly recommend the Banana Fan Beach Resort. It offers a relaxing and convenient beachside escape with excellent facilities and friendly staff. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday.

    Superb

    • Stayed 5 nights

    Our stay at the resort was overall enjoyable, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The weather can be quite windy at times, and when the wind exceeds 5 m/s, the beach becomes inaccessible. During these conditions, a lot of debris washes up, and the water level rises, making the beach disappear entirely. The surrounding area is dominated by large resorts, so if you're looking for a more authentic beach experience with small restaurants and fewer resorts, you’ll need to head west to Bang Po Beach. Despite these factors, the resort itself offers great facilities and a comfortable stay. Just be sure to check the weather if the beach is a key part of your plans!

    Wonderful Family-Friendly Resort We had a fantastic stay at this lovely resort as a family with children. The large pool is very child-friendly, and so is the beach, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, always ensuring a great experience for guests. The facilities are excellent, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. The breakfast is exceptional, offering a great variety of delicious options. However, the dinner menu at the resort’s restaurant is not as exciting as some of the nearby restaurants. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it for families looking for a great vacation spot!

    It’s a shame one can’t sit around Kevin’s bar unless you’re in the pool. It’s more a missed opportunity rather than an issue. Drinks can be ordered on the deck chairs around the pool, or sitting in the restaurant.

    The layout amid the lush nature. Buildings not higher than the palm trees. The location of the restaurant overlooking the beach is just stunning. Everything is clean, staff is absolutely lovely. Excellent location, not in the hustle bustle of Chaweng but still in walking distance from facilities. There is also a big supermarket just across the road with a section selling wine, beer and other alcohol. We had the room with the balcony overlooking the sea. Perfect place to do Pilates or Yoga.

    Nothing

    I would go back without a doubt it’s a beautiful hotel very local and on the beach. The rooms were lovely and the facilities provided were great. A free paddle and kayak as part of the hotel to use and enjoy on the beach. The restaurant food was amazing and the singer on the beach for an evening meal was great. it is so local to everything and a 10 minute walk on the beach down to some great beach clubs and evening entertainment are fire dancers at ark. Three steps down from the restaurant you are on a gorgeous beach. I would highly recommend this place.
