Face à la mer et proche d’une rue avec plein de petits restaurants et commerces. Location de scooter à 250 baht la journee! Le personnel a été adorable! La chambre etait cosy :)
Il y avait quelques joints dans la salle de bain à refaire et l’eau des wc coulait.

Beautiful location - incredible beachside spot.
Delicious food
Charming room
General ambiance
Pool area
Feels a little tired in places. Cushions on restaurant chairs would've been nice
Looking back at the property from the beach it could do with a tidy up - The parasols are mis-matched and the stripes don't fit with the design aesthetic.
A dedicated reception area would be helpful

Das Personal war super freundlich und die Zimmer sehr schön und sauber. Wir haben uns sofort wie zuhause gefühlt.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, die scrambled eggs, sehr zu empfehlen! Man konnte sich aus einer Liste alles was das Herz begehrt aussuchen und es wurde frisch zubereitet.
Strand auch sehr schön und ruhig.
Roller mieten von Vorteil, da es etwas abgelegen ist :)
Preis finde ich etwas zu viel aber wir würden trotzdem wieder kommen :)

Piękne miejsce z magiczną atmosferą. Hotel położony jest na samej plaży, najładniejszej na wyspie. Posiada cudowny basen wkomponowany w zieleń. Cały obiek jest pięknie zaprojektowany, z dbałością o najmniejsze szczegoły. Przemiły personel poda pyszne śniadanie na plaży. Pokoje są obszerne, z wielkimi królewskimi łóżkami.

Wir waren das zweite Mal im Sand in my shoes und uns hat es wieder sehr gut gefallen. Mittlerweile gibt es auch einen tollen Pool im Garten. Die Lage ist einfach genial und von unserem Zimmer im 2. Stock hatten wir diesmal einen fantastischen Blick in drei Richtungen inkl. Meer. Die kleine Anlage ist von der Besitzerin sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Tolles großes Zimmer mit sehr komfortablem Bett und viel Stauraum. Wer in seinem Thailand Urlaub auch mal Wellen haben möchte ist in dieser Bucht genau richtig. Es gibt fussläufig viele gute Restaurants, Bars und sogar einen kleinen Food-Market, Supermarkt, Geschäfte und Massage Möglichkeiten. Der Strand ist nicht so überlaufen. Im Restaurant des Sand in my Shoe gibt es solide Thailändische Küche und super leckere Pizzen. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

The location on the best part of the beach with the cleanest sand and water.
Friendly staff.
Breakfast was very good but would be better with more variety.
Great coffee.
Some parts of the small resort need some maintenance with attention to staired areas.
Staff could be more smartly dressed.
Adding service charge to food and drink.
Menu folders need to be replaced.

Fresh juice instead of out of a carton.

1. Location, location and one more time location.
2. Friendly and helpfull staff;
3. Food at the bar-restourant. We had delicious dinners on the beach.
4. Swimming pool is fantastic place to relax after hot Thailand's day.
We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and each day we had exactly the same breakfast. There should be more options to choose.
We had some minor issues with air conditioning. I believe this could be solved so for the future guest it might be not an issue at all.

Both my partner and I have a lot of experience traveling through Thailand (total of 15 visits). This is our favorite resort! The resort is small scale and located in a quiet bay, right at the beach. The beach is beautiful, clean and quiet. The staff is fantastic. No fake smiles, but genuine faces and kindness. The whole staff seems to work together like a big family. The ocean view room is beautiful, with a spacious rooftop terrace overlooking the sea.
The resort area has a beautiful set up. We only tried pizza's (besides breakfast) at the resort ,when our childeren were to tired to go out, and they are really good. We also drank the best coffee here.
Within walking distance is the (very) small village with everything you need, excellent local restaurants, street food, massage parlours, supermarkets, etc. You can take a longtail boot or taxi to another side of the same bay, which we enjoyed as well (but we preferred our side of the bay).
We go for massages almost every day when we are in Thailand and we had the best massages from masseuses Tuk and Nok from Sandee massages. Although all the Thai restaurants we tried were excellent, our favorites are Monsoon and Red hot chilli peppers. Also worth mentioning is That's Amore, an Italian restaurant (by Italian/Thai owners).
Breakfast at the resort was a la carte and extensive. House keeping was very thorough.
We hope to be able to visit this resort some day again!
Although the breakfast was extensive, we missed a few things, such as more choice for toppings on bread, in addition to eggs and homemade jam. However, this is probably only an issue for people like us, who like to eat bread for breakfast and it ony mattered because we stayed for many days.

Great location at one of the best beaches on Koh Phangan. Sand in my shoes is a cozy little hotel which offers everything you need for a beach vacation. There’s always enough sunbeds. A little extra: SUP board and kayaks are available for the guests (free of charge).
The room is spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable.
We liked the breakfast as well, but we didn’t know in the beginning that it was possible to order ice coffee.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. Room cleaning was perfect. The hotel will also help you to arrange transfer.
When we arrived, the room smelled a bit odd. But once the air condition was on, everything was fine.
The light switches were confusing. Maybe some description would help.
In the bathroom there is too little light over the mirror. But none of these points was a big issue and we would absolutely return!
4.5
Lovely place and beach in nice little quiet village with a few restaurants, bars and shops etc.
Bit pricey at £150 a night but we book last minute.

The hotel is located at a nice & calm corner of the island
The hotel is soo badly operated and the service is really poor. In short, it is NOT worth the price and NO I do not recommend this place to anyone. I explained the details below:
Cleaning: We arrived at around 6pm at the hotel. Our room was partially cleaned, and the sheets were changed but there were no clean towels, no soap, and the glasses they put in the bathroom were used. The shelves in the bedroom were dusty. On that evening, they were able to give us clean towels & soap but the cleaning only happened the next afternoon.
Breakfast: The coffee machine was broken so the first day they served us Nescafe as "black coffee". Only when we specifically asked to ensure it is not a Nescafe, they told us that it is actually an instant coffee. For 3 days, I and other hotel guests were walking to the city center to buy coffee and only after the 4th day, after we recommended they buy & serve something for their guests, they started to serve some filtered coffee to the guests.
Price: The portions are small and not worth the price. The other hotels charge the same for better quality.
Personal: I must say that was the best and the worst part. Whoever the owner of the hotel is, they are definitely not there. They employ locals in the hotel for service which is the best part. However, someone should teach and guide the team to serve better for what they charge for. Before leaving the hotel I gave them this "feedback" since they send a message via booking and ask for it. The hotel manager's response was "IT IS OK" :))
For me, this is the most ridiculous part. Instead of a "thank you", "I appreciate the feedback" or "sorry for the inconvenience caused" if their only response is "IT IS OK", I can clearly say that IT IS NOT OK and no, I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect location right by a pretty secluded and small beach. Such a beautiful place!
Every room is thought out to perfection with interior design.
The staff feels like family from the second you get there, they are all so nice and professional!
And also an extra star to the staff in the kitchen, they are awesome!!!
Small village outside is also worth mentioning... Small but big in our hearts <3
There's nothing to dislike with this place!
