We had come for the full moon party and had not meant to book somewhere so far away- now so glad we did! We were offered transport into full moon by the manager so that solved that problem. Now this beach is a real gem- it's clean, quiet and the water is beautiful- you will not spend much time in... More

I was in charge of booking accommodation for my group, we came to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party and my only guideline given to my friends is that is must be cheap! So, I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked our stay at Smile Bungalows. When we arrived at the ferry, we were told the resort... More

Smile Bungalows are located on the stunning bottle beach on the far right hand side. The bungalows are built in gardens with a restaurant at the front. We had room S12 which was at the back of the resort but high enough to have a sea view off the balcony. The rooms have solid wood floors with woven bamboo walls... More

We stayed in one of the two-storey bungalows for 5 nights in mind-February. This was my first trip to Thailand and I had a vision of the perfect beach and Bottle Beach certainly lived up to it. Beautiful soft sand, warm ocean to swim in and not too many people. The bungalows at Smile lived up to out expectations. Comfortable... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night, but had originally planned for 3. It wasn't that it was terrible, but I think we've just got a little older and want a little more comfort - it was pretty surprising to us! A year or two ago it would have been perfect for us, but I admit that we... More

For those wanting a quiet, secluded spot and a wonderful beach, this is it. Cons: - hard to get to, you may pay more to get there than a night at the bungalow! I spent 200 baht on a taxi from the pier and another 150 for the boat. - main reception guy greeted me with blatant mocking, rude tone,... More

This was my second trip to Bottle Beach but my first staying at Smile (stayed last time at Bottle Beach 2, which has more budget bungalows). The 2-story bungalow set up the hill was perfectly fine - quiet, nice view, nice bathroom, wood floors. The beach itself is so lovely and perfect for swimming with soft sand and clear blue... More

Left booking a resort on this island only a few days before we visited so there were only a few options, the others being in excess of £100 a night but we weren't disappointed with Smile bungalows. If we had our backpacks then it would have been more ideal as its a perfect place for couples or families wanting some... More

We stayed in a small fan bungalow (450 B per night). The bungalows lie in a beautiful garden up a small hill. Our bungalow had seaview and was mostly clean. It was small (especially the bathroom) and the wall in the bathroom a bit moody. There was a mosquito net and toilet paper in the room. The whole place is... More
