George Koh 2008-02-05 until 2008-02-07	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach It is a very affordable resort; the beds are clean.
Chris 2008-02-03 until 2008-02-09	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach Good value, great location. Quiet end of the bay, a short walk to the beach. No-AC bungalows very basic, but adequate. VIP AC bungalows well equipped. Staff very courteous, English speaking, friendly to our entire family. Food good. Standard services. Would definitely return!	Very efficient and professional.
Chris 2008-02-03 until 2008-02-09	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach Older, larger hotel on the edge of downtown area. Some rooms newly remodeled, others need repair. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice restaurant with good breakfast buffet.
odile Bouradges 2007-12-29 until 2008-01-01	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach That was the worse place i ever see. Dirty and smell really bad (toillet) in the room, holes in the wall....We reserv for 3 days but after one we just left. Beach is not pretty lots of rock and no white sand. Dont go there if you whant to have a greate holliday
ANDREA NICOLINI 2007-01-18 until 2007-01-27	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach The bungalow are good. But the staff don t clean daily bungalow. You must remember every day that the bungalow must cleaned. This is no good. My Bungalow with air/con and Tv (never watching it)but no freeze. Breakfast not inclused. Many expansive for service.	Very fast&easy
Laura Whitworth 2007-01-03 until 2007-01-06	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach I stayed here with my husband for 3 nights during the full moon party period. Overall we got what we paid for, our beach bungalow was £14.00 per night. However, no hot water and the bathrooms were a bit shabby. Overall the staff were friendly and the food was good. This resort is in quite a remote area so if you want bars and shops then stay further south as taxi s are less frequent in this direction and can end up costing you a fortune.	Booking fine, no problems whatsoever

Peter Rommelse 2006-08-10 until 2006-08-15	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach We were with a group of 11 people and stayed in 5 bungalows next to eachother. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was good as well, especially given the very reasonable prices over there. The only problems we faced were the distance to the port and the poor quality of the rental cars. For people looking for a good, cheep and quiet place to stay on Koh Phangan we highly recommend this resort.	Booking via Sawadee.com was easy and quickly confirmed. (as in previous experiences for myself)
Shane 2006-08-09 until 2006-08-12	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach We did have a probem with the booking. Our booking was in Koh Phangan from Aug. 11th to the 12th. We wanted to stay longer at the Royal Orchid Resort so we changed and confirmed the new dates with Sawadee.com. We changed it to Aug. 9th-12th with the same confirmation we got back from Sawadee.com. So Sawadee.com confirmed our stay. However when we got there one of the staff became a problem for us along with our booking dates. We gave him our confirmation but he said he only had the old reservation(11th-12th) and not the new one(9th-12th). So he gave our room away for those days and then sent us to his friends place up the road. Before I went up the road, I asked him to call Sawadee to see what was the problem. His friends place had no AC, no toliet paper, had many bugs, and no ocean view which I wanted. So I got my money back from his friend and moved into the Mae Haad Resort next door to the Royal Orchid, which had AC, TV and did not have problems with bugs and had great service. However, his friends place was far down the road and of course his friend did not help us take our bags back down the road. The bags were heavy so I took the light bags while my girlfriend waited with the heavy ones down the road. I ask for help from the Royal Orchid employee to help me bring the bags back and he didn t respond to me and kept talking to his friends. So I went to help my girlfriend with the bags because he wasn t going to help us. After we got our bags back down the road into the new resort bugalows I went to talk to him again. I asked him if he had called Sawadee yet, and he said no. So I asked for a refund of the money and to cancel our stay he had for us for the 11th-12th. I understand that the deposit is non-refundable but because he had gave our reservation away I just wanted to get our money back. He then became irrate with me and told me to call Sawadee, I said I didnt have a phone or internet access so of course I couldn t. I then just smiled, said thank, please cancel my reservation and walked away. He then yelled at me as I walked away saying that he only had reservation for the 11th-12th. I didn t say anything more. In short, they didn t honor our reservation and thier service was absent.	no problems. service was fast and great
Kavita Devi Thamilselvam 2006-08-09 until 2006-08-11	Royal Orchid Resort, Maehaad Beach Rather disappointed with this hotel. Room was too cramped, bed uncomfortable, bathroom crawling with geckos and even spotted a small centipede once. Dresser mirror had obviously not been cleaned. Worst of all was the stench of sewage that seemed to emanate from somewhere near our hut. We were forced to sleep with our door open to help the air circulate. At least Maehaad beach is safe enough for that. Door to our hut didn t even lock properly. Only plus points go to the extra friendly staff!
