Chardonnay - Koh Phangan

Beautiful resort, amazing room, great staff and service. I cannot give it a 5/5 because the AC barely works and it made the stay, especially the sleep, not as comfortable as it could have been. They sent technicians, and in the end provided a fan, but for a hotel like this you expect the AC to just work Other than that, loved it

While staying at a resort in Thailand, we found that the rooms here are top-notch. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again if we return to Koh Phangan. It's the perfect base for exploring the island, although the road leading to the hotel is a bit dirty and filled with potholes. Overall, we give it a 100% rating.

Great restarant, excellent service. Very good food. We were having the last two days breakfast and dinner while we stay in the hotel Summer Luxury in Koh Phangan. Sorry we have to leave tomorrow.

I ate here a couple of times during my stay at the Summer Luxury Resort. I am vegan so I didn 't order any of the dishes containing meat, seafood, eggs and milk of any sort which make up almost all of the menu (as it seems to be common in Thailand). From what I could see though they were all nicely presented and seemed to be generally liked. There are only a handful of vegan options on the menu including fried rice with vegetables (didn 't try), Indian fried curry served in a pineapple (good but a bit too sweet for my liking and a lot of raisins) and Spaghetti Napolitana (served with Parmesan, not bad but very small portion and far too expensive). However you can order some other menu items and ask for them to be prepared without milk eggs (e.g. Curries) and the staff is happy to comply once they understand what you mean. My mother once just asked for mixed cooked vegetables with soy sauce on rice and was happy with the result. The decor and music (a mix of Jazz, Classical and Downtempo-covers of Pop songs Oo) are nice and you have a great seaview outside, however the menus are really annoying as they are printed on HUGE 1cm thick cardboard and are very awkward to hold. This is just not up to the high standard the Restaurant is trying to portrait and should be an easy fix. Overall just a last resort to me but okay if you don 't want to leave the resort. More vegan options would be great, especially since the island has a reputation for it 's vegan yogi scene. I can recommend the small Food Station which is just 5 minutes away on foot. Just walk right once you get to the road, it 's on the right side and usually has some Pizza Calzone on display in front of the restaurant Has some great, cheap vegan options and you can also ask for other dishes to be prepared vegan.

Only okay food but helpful staff. They seem to realize the resort's included breakfast portions are too small so they are kind enough to serve us more. Staff is a little too relaxed considering the context and prices however, yelling orders across the room and chatting. The food and the presentation is a little pretentious.
