Varivana Resort Koh Phangan, The Centara Collection

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

Bathroom smelled like perfumed sewage. Shower water temp never got hotter than lukewarm. You get charged for ice, and there's a laundry list detailing how much you will be charged for staining any item, including the disposable slippers... Rooms are tiny with no storage to speak of. Bathroom layout is insane: shower is huge, vanity and toilet are airliner sized.

PERFECT STAY! Loved everything about this hotel. Don't stay anywhere else in Koh Phangan ;)

It’s a beautiful view from the hotel. The pool area was good very much like the photos. I thought the breakfast was average but my wife said it was good so it depends. The healthy food in the restaurant (poke bowls etc) was VERY good. The rooms were fine. Not much in the local area. I was here 2 nights and that was fine.

Excellent

Room is clean. Staff is nice. Breakfast was really bad. Bad variety, everything was already cold by 9PM (breakfast is from 07:30 to 10:30). When I asked for more cold cuts about 10PM, they did not bring more. Overall, good hotel, nice location, but I don‘t think it is worth the money.

Beautiful stay!!

Family vacation, rooms (we had 2) weren’t ready on time of check in, we had to wait 1.5 hoirs at the top bar. We got coupon for “free drink” - I would expect much more than that. We ordered fruit shake but there was no Bananas and no mango so not really enough options. We were completely unsatisfied. When we finally got our rooms it was in the lowest floor ( we ordered”mountain view” rooms so it is quite ironic as we were literally 1 meter above the ground. Additionally, the stair railing outside the rooms were just being painted while we checked in and there was a pungent smell of fresh oil-based paint. I was also extremely mad as I specifically asked for two adjacent rooms , however each one was on a different floor level. Overall when I complained the manager in charge just said he is very sorry and offered 20% discounts at the hotel restaurant- I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh! Breakfast was somewhat lacking. The buffet was poor, not enough tables in the dining hall, slow service. There is definitely lots to improve! Nice architecture- somewhat weird and clumsy though! Reminds me of the board game Snakes and Ladders. Only one elevator (4 buildings) and long climb and walk to the pool- which luckily is fantastic so it made our all stay enjoyable after all. Missing full size mirror in the rooms.

Amazing stay. We were picked up by the free shuttle service and received welcome drinks. The views are stunning! The room was immaculate. The pool & rooftop bar was amazing. Prices of food & drink are a bit expensive but the massaman curry was gorgeous. We paid £11 for breakfast for 2 and it was a 3 course meal! It really good value and loads of delicious food - should have been £9 each so I would recommend booking on hotels.com. The staff were so friendly too! I live on Samui so we will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends.

Nice property, not too far from the beach. Food in restaurant where the food took a while to appear, but always tasted good. They need a lot more shade/umbrellas on the rooftop pool (has ample space). The buffet Breakfast was very small for the price they charge and the a la carte menu was very limited. Luckily there plenty of amazing breakfast options around Phanghan.

It’s the best hotel we stayed at in Thailand ! Tip and Bryan at reception were so kind and helpful. Will definitely return !!
