Benjamin's Hut

The rooms were a nice size and we loved all the little details that made our arrival special. The resort offered free snacks when we first got there. Every day we received two bottles of water in glass bottles, which I loved. We got a better deal on our scooter rental than we would have at other places. They were great organizing outings for us too. The food that came out of their little kitchen was also very fairly priced and so delicious. Many days we didn’t even leave our resort because everything was perfect there. We even had our own hammock on our porch and were visited by the cutest cats. If you don’t like cats, just don’t pet or feed them and they won’t come back (I was told by other tourists). But we fell in love with them. The resort also offered free paddle boards and we took advantage of this every day, paddling north to some great snorkeling places. The water is crystal clear and at this spot very shallow and warm, but just a little to the right or left it was very comfortable to swim in. The beach was small and very private, but you could walk from there all the way past zen beach (some of it in the shallow water) the pool had a view to the ocean, the bar was right above the beach and the people working there were fantastic. Very friendly, efficient and very helpful.

Just felt at home from the first night on. Stayed two weeks and didn’t want to leave. I can recommend the bungalows, there’s a little outdoor kitchen on the balcony, surrounded by a little jungle, just a few meters from the beach. The bungalows are small but absolutely nice with an eye for details, like pictures, romantic lights, an own beach bag and sarong, and the most comfortable bed with a double mattress I ever had in Thailand. The beach right in front is small and sometimes not there, but cozy to stay and the water was clear and beautiful to swim or walk to the little island in front. Just a few meters to walk and the beach gets wider, but I often just stayed there. Great plus; the owners and all people working there from the bar to the cleaning were super friendly.

The staff was amazing, helpful, always smiling and willing to help. The place itself is gorgeous, not fancy but for us it was beautiful, the bar and the beach are just perfect. You can see beautiful sunsets with a nice cold drink and great music. The prices on the bar of drinks and food were really good and the food was excellent! And we tried many things! The room was cozy and the landscape outside and decorations using nature are incredible. This is not a fancy hotel, but it is a great place to experience the kho phangan vibes. So recommend!

This place is close to all my favorite restaurants on the west side ( not walkable) also next door to a yoga resort that has different classes. Even if you only want to attend one session ( walkable) The restaurant is very good. The beach is tiny but it has such a beautiful sunset. Bungalows are clean with a jungle vibe. You can rent car or motorcycle at the property. There is a small pool in case you have kids but the water is shallow on this side so it’s perfect for family with kids. The fact that you have complimentary water every day is a positive point

Benjamin’s Hut has been our favorite place to stay in 6 weeks of traveling Asia. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, functionality and beautiful relaxed tropical vibes. The renovated bungalows have a lot of attention to detail that we haven’t seen in other places - they provide a microwave and some bowls, plates, etc, a hammock and fan on the verandah, screening foliage for part privacy, a clothes line, etc Inside the bed is super comfy, there is fan as well as aircon, two heads on the shower…and best of all the huts are right on a super beautiful beach. Their cafe is also really well priced and serves great food, too. We can’t recommend Benjamin’s Hut enough. Do yourself a favor and stay there.
