Hotels near Mae Haad Beach, Onna

From our first email exchange to the good bye early in the morning, Apple was fantastic. She made our stay so comfortable that I would return to Long Bay without hesitation. The beach is secluded, quiet and calm. The bungalows are honest to the photos and 3 stars. Kept very clean and tidy, room cleaning was offered too. The pool was very clean also. Overall a lovely spot with a fantastic customer service. Thumbs up for the driver who drove us around the island always with a smile on his face. Great way to support local business during difficult times with very few tourists.

The view from the hotel's shared pool is wonderful. The rooms are clean. The employees are very respectful, friendly and helpful. Price performance is very good.

Breakfast category is not particularly rich, but enough. Very quiet and beautiful place, the staff is enthusiastic but not overly disturbing, the room is large, the insects are in place, the ecology is good, but no small animals will appear. The invincible sunset can be enjoyed without leaving home. Free canoes are provided. The hotel's shallow water is not deep and the waves are calm. Will choose to stay again next time!

This resort is simply wonderful! It’s not too big so it feels cosy and comfortable. Every room faces the pool or beach. The beach, restaurant, pool, massage, everything is very close by. The only thing I would say that was not ideal is that the shower is only a rain shower, which is hard for little kids and babies. In the room they have thoughtful little details such as flip flops, beach bag you can use during your stay, also gave mosquito repellent. But the best part is the outstanding service, every staff was so friendly and accommodating and efficient. At night it’s relaxing and convenient to take a table right on the beach and often they have entertainment like fire show or saxophone. Very grateful for the 3 days we enjoyed here. Definitely recommend to visit.

Stayed here for 3 days, think it's family run lodge. The hotel room key was really a key, a big one. The door creaked when opening but overall the room was nice, amenities was good. When requested for a kettle, the kind old lady provided me very fast....very nice. Pity did not make use of the swimming pool as it was hot for 2 of the days there. A short walk to a food court nearby, Thongsala Square (where the race start)...and the Walking Street where they had a nice night bazaar on Saturday, pity it rained halfway. Also a short walk to Phantip Market area. But definitely need taxi to the site of Full Moon Party lol Yes, also had a lot of tour agencies just outside the hotel. And laundry services, I did mine at a cheap 80 baht...and it came back ironed and with a nice fragance ...Highly recommended. (ok, they do have some self service laundry too at 30 bht per kg??? but definitely not ironed??)

Grab a coffee, this could take a while. Bed sheets were filthy and smelt like an old dogs bed. TV was an old tube type that couldn’t get channels (although brochure said flat screen with cable) The toilet was constantly blocked. In 7 nights (our length of stay) our room was cleaned once. So no drinking water. No toilet roll. No fresh towels. Our booking consisted of breakfast, but once was enough, only had half of what we requested and the staff were rude, so we ate in a bar up the road instead. The electric kept going off so no air con. They did agree to fix it but not until the following day! No hot water. Then we discovered the new villas behind the bar area, which is what we had in fact booked. We insisted we be moved which the staff agreed to, begrudgingly!! We get to our new room where there was in fact a flat screen TV but no aerial so unless you have your own subscriptions you are stuck with sky news! Bed smelt better but we woke up to an army of ants!! Location is perfect. That is the only positive I can give!! Extremely disappointed! I travel for a month around Asia every year, this is our 4th hotel this year and by far the worst I have ever stayed in. That includes the others I’ve stayed in over the years!! Booking.com should take some responsibility for misleading information!!!

We were here for 4 nights as a couple. Basically we liked our stay very much, but we can not recommend the small bungalows. We stayed in the cheapest bungalow and it was so small that you could not even place the open suitcase. In addition, windows and doors were not tight, so we had many mosquitoes in the room. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was also right above our heads, so we both caught colds. When using the shower, the whole bathroom floods because the drain is at the other end of the room. Also, there are no electrical outlets in the bathroom. But otherwise the room was clean and the bed was large and comfortable. We especially liked the hotel grounds. It is really in the middle of the beach, there is soft sand everywhere and the restaurant is also right at the water. There is also a pool table and a ping pong table, both of which we used very often. Special praise must be given to the helpful, friendly hotel staff, who were always eager to make one's stay as comfortable as possible. When we arrived the first evening, our window would not close. There were some communication difficulties with the ladies at the reception because they really didn't understand a word of English. In the following days, however, all the ladies at the reception could speak perfect English, which made communication much easier. Nevertheless, the ladies gave us a new room for one night, which was a great relief. Right next to the hotel is a scooter rental. We rented a scooter here, which was really uncomplicated and cheap. In the area there is very cheap and delicious street food, for example at ”Mama Thai Food” or ”Life Style” with super nice owners. The breakfast in the hotel is delicious and there is a choice of several dishes. However, it is ”a la carte” and you can only order one dish. The portion is a bit small for a grown man, so you would actually have to order 2-3 dishes to get full. Even the most expensive breakfast ”Milky Bay Breakfast” includes only 2 slices of toast, 2 fried eggs, a few mushrooms, 2 slices of tomato and a single piece of bacon (?!). Fortunately, free fruit (pineapple or watermelon) is always offered as well, which helps you get a little fuller. Conclusion: if I had to rate our room exclusively, I would only give the resort 2 out of 5 stars. I've slept in beachfront bungalows in Thailand that cost between 10€-20€ per night and were more comfortable and modern than our bungalow (50€ per night). However, due to the fantastic service, the great facility and the nice staff I give 4 out of 5 stars and the following advice: Don't book the smallest, cheapest bungalow! We saw the better rooms from the outside and they looked really big and modern. If we had stayed in such a room, I would have definitely given 5 out of 5 stars!

Thankful that this property was available for us to book during the busy April 2023 Full Moon Party season. For a beachfront property with a swimming pool, I find their rates are super cheap. We arrived at noon time and we were allowed to check in immediately. Our room was spacious and came with a veranda. The place could be cleaner but it never got a point that we felt it was bothersome. Make sure your windows are locked! On our third night, we discovered our windows were unlocked from the get go but luckily all our belongings were intact. The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort is within walking distance to the Full Moon Party and Haad Rin Pier so that's definitely a huge plus. If you're planning to party and just need a decent and affordable place to crash, then this is it.

This is my third time staying at Samui mermaid. Can not fault this resort, it’s just what I need to recharge my soul before flying home. I stayed the deluxe side with its own pool and it’s worth spending the extra pennies if you enjoy having a pool all to yourself 😊 Stay are lovely as always, location is brilliant, views are amazing. All n all if you want somewhere to chill out, relax and recharge your soul before flying home then this is the place to stay! I will definitely be coming back again x
