I stayed here with my wife on our honeymoon for the full moon party. We stayed in one of the deluxe garden view rooms based on the photos online.

After checking in, I laid down for a quick nap only to discover that the bedding had blood stains from previous guests. We got those swapped out after going to the office and making a request.

Now If you’ve ever been to the island or the party, you will know that sand is a constant guest. We followed the instructions from the staff, leaving a sign outside our room asking for it to be cleaned on our second morning. We returned at night, after all the hotel staff is gone for the evening, only to discover the room was not cleaned.

The next day I walked into the office asking them to please clean my room that day. The man radioed to someone and gestured that they would get it done. That evening, same result - returned home to a sandy, dirty room.

Next day, I repeated the process, almost to a T, this time moving the sign where it was more clearly visible and going to the office to inform them of my discomfort. After returning home, once again, The room went I cleaned.

What a bummer. It really killed our post party mood each night.

The one upside is that the room itself looked like it did online and was free if bugs, mice, and other pests. Which is why If you are here for full moon party, I’d recommend only staying here the night if the party and finding other accommodations in the western side of the island for your other days. That would have been my plan but the city moved the full moon party around on us forcing our stay at Rin Beach Resort to be 4 days long.

The pool is clean and good. The beach sand is coarse, but the hammocks overlooking the sand are a nice add.

The final addition to my poor experience was getting stabbed by a sea urchin about 10 feet into the water one evening. That one isn’t the hotel’s fault, but still added to the negative experience I had.

In short, the pictures of the rooms match the experience. But you may want to drag the maids to your room yourself, as they seem to like not cleaning all the rooms.

We stayed three nights for the March full moon party. Overall a great experience, clean, comfortable rooms, a nice, large pool area and the beach is small but clean and pretty. Would definitely recommend it.

Terrible experience. Very expensive and the rooms are disgusting. On top of that, the owner and receptionist is very rude and disrespectful. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Don’t make the same mistake as we did.

Nice pool and spacious rooms with balcony. The place itself is a little run down but perfectly acceptable

We arrived at this hotel for full moon party full of excitement, however this was quickly crushed by the rude and miserable receptionist. She made us feel very unwelcome and disrespected, making us instantly regret our booking choice.

Our room was a budget room so we didn’t have the highest expectations and these were significantly lowered once stepping into the room. The strong smell of fish remains and other unpleasant smells filled our room everyday. The shower was nothing but a trickle.

Apart from this the other staff we’re great and the pool area and beach is lovely. It is a great location for full moon and Haad Rin pier.

All in all I would never stay here again, and that is completely down to the receptionist/manager lady.

The resort seems really nice, of course that (I guess) there were best rooms than mine, even that we choose the third less expensive, but the ones next to the see looked wonderful.
Pool is ok.
The private beach is very nice, here you can watch a nice sunset.
