Ulasan Zama Resort Koh Phangan

We stayed here for 8 nights. We have been travelling around Asia and we wanted some downtime in one place to unwind for a long period of time, and this hotel was perfect and helped us to achieve this. We stayed in room 20 which had a partial sea view, and we had a lovely view of the sea and Ang Thong Marine Park in the distance. We also had a nice balcony with seating and shade to relax. Our room was nice and it had a fridge with complimentary water, a kettle and a safe, and lots of storage. The only small negative point about the room was that the bathroom was looking a bit tired (the wall tiles were old, and were discoloured and had been patched up in areas, and the grouting looked old) and the water temperature was a bit erratic; not always hot. I am not always a fan of open showers where water flows over the entire floor of the bathroom, but that is just my preference and this bathroom had an open shower. The Wi-Fi in the room was also a bit inconsistent and we found that it frequently dropped out. Other than that, the bed and pillows were so comfortable and everything felt spotlessly clean. It’s so cute that they give you mosquito repellant as there are lots of mosquitos on the island, and they also gave us lovely little biscuits. They also provide a little beach bag with towels and matts for lying on the beach which was so thoughtful and a lovely touch. They also provided toiletries and coffee / tea and creamer in the room. It was so quiet here, and whilst there were other guests staying here, we didn’t hear them. The restaurant area is really funky with views of the ocean and lots of seating areas. Breakfast was included, and there were lots of options available and they gave us fresh fruit, fruit juice and coffee every morning. We also had dinner a few times in the restaurant and the food was so good and quite reasonably priced. The staff here are the nicest people, and they really looked after us. Such welcoming and friendly service and we felt at home. We loved the resident cats too - they were so cute. There is a nice pool area with loungers to sit and catch the sunset or to just look out. A small area of improvement is that some of the umbrellas were damaged and didn’t open fully as the holding points were broken at the end, and some of the tiles in the pool were looking a bit tired. These are just some small improvements which could be made. A point to note is that there are lots of steep steps leading down to the rooms and the beach below, but the island is very hilly. There are lots of restaurants and beautiful beaches close to the hotel, and within walking distance if you don’t hire a moped, but there are a few inclines in both directions, so be prepared. The hotel arranged a trip to Ang Thong for us which we would recommend and they also have a contact who was a driver who took us on a private tour which we would also recommend if you don’t have your own transport. They also arranged our transfers to and from Ko Sa
