Silan Residence, Koh Phangan - An Authentic Village Experience

This place really stood out from the other Hotels on our honeymoon. This area is more of an appartment/bungalow wibe. We were not sure what level of service to expect but where positively surprised by the cleaning service and front desk personnel who helped us arrange several day trips to mae haad, bottle beach etc. All the couples that ran their transports were so nice people! The oceanside pool is very nice with easy access to the beach! Getting a room facing the ocean is worth it. The only downsides were that the house had like 4 locks per window/door and lots of those, so securing the house was very time consuming and back doors once or twice left unlocked by housekeeping. There were also a lot of information about fines for all kinds of things (like peeing in the sofa or bed) which didnt feel so welcoming nor relevant. Also a lot of generic emails/whatsapp messages were sent that was not applicable to our type of booking.

Spacious, clean and well maintained rooms. The view from the room is amazing (we were in rooms facing the ocean). The hotel staff is very helpful, available and takes care of everything efficiently..

Our Villa was really good, nicely decorated, the rooms were large and a great living area with kitchen. Our Villa was cleaned daily and we were sent a message to let us know what time. Fantastic staff were helpful and friendly. We were picked up from the pier with no problems and the day we got there staff showed us to a night market right outside the property which was fab. Chaloklum is a fab little town and well worth exploring, I’d recommend the boat trip round to Bottle Beach and the viewpoint hike. There is plenty of restaurants and bars surrounding Silan. The pool area was quiet and relaxing, we were also given the option to use the beach side pool across the road which looked great but was too windy when we stayed.
