What a beautiful place. The bungalows were perfect. The beach was clean. The location was convenient. I would stay there for 6months if I could . The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was great. This is the perfect place to stay!

The owners and staff go above and beyond to take care of guests. Free kayaks and SUP’s to borrow was a bonus and most of the guests don’t use them, but we did! Lots of smokers but that’s the norm in this part of the world. Beachfront location and very low key atmosphere made in a nice getaway.

Very friendly and family owned property - a home away from home!!! The cabins on the beach do not disappoint with the view however the room needs a little TLC. Comfy bed and pillows and hot water in both the sink and shower!! Several great choices for food and never left hungry! The property is a bit over grown with all the trees and bushes and the pool needs a bit of attention but it didn’t take away from our overall experience- Would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful hotel but bass plays all night long
The property is beautiful and in a great location. The bungalows are clean and the AC works great. The pool was excellent. The food in the restaurant was quite good and you can't beat the view. The only problem with the property is not their fault at all. They are on the main "party" beach. While the rooms are a bit set back from the beach, you absolutely can hear the bass line from the nearest club until the wee hours of the morning. We expected it to be loud on the Full Moon night. The surprise was that the bass would play until 3 or 4 in the morning every single night of our 4 night stay! Otherwise, the service was great and I would highly recommend staying here.

The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. It’s a family owned business and the take pride in their guests. Felt like a home and the food was amazing!!! And very affordable, it’s right at the end of the beach where the full moon party is but far enough away. And the ate stricter on their rules so it’s great for those of us who may not want to party all night.

Delicious food with proximity to the shops and full moon party if your interested in that. There is no DJs right at the front of the hotel during the party which is nice as you can get away from it and go to sleep at your leisure. The buffet dinner they provide at the party was amazing. We had a very nice and peaceful stay at the hotel.

Nice hotel with great location
Great location, good breakfast with beach view, the room is very simple and even no kettle. I had problem with ants but they solve the problem immidetely. The hotels is kind of village and a lot of trees and nature outside so you need know that maybe some insects can enter your room but nothing special and scary (happened a lot in all the hotels in Koh pahngan) .

Stayed for half moon, slow season
The service was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. We forgot to get our deposit back for the key as they were helping us make special arrangements for our ride to the ferry and as we were boarding the ferry about 30 mins later, one of the staff came running down the dock to give us our 1000 bahts. Highly recommend this place. It was during the half moon that we stayed so this part of the beach is slow and we had a very quiet resort. Going down the beach you can hear music all night at the other hotels even during the off season. This hotel is right on the beach and they clean the sand out front every night.

For the quality of the room, service, and in-house food, this place is absolutely value for money. It is at the edge of Haad Rin beach and while not too far from the main activities, it was much quieter at night from the loud music. We went not in the full moon party season but still enjoyed it very much!

Very Nice But Extremely Rustic
I was supposed to stay 3 nights. I only stayed 1. It was nothing the resort or staff did to make me change my plans. It was just that this resort is extremely rustic, rather bare bones. It was a bit too rustic for my taste. The grounds are nice, as is the pool. The resort had no beach chairs which seems to be the norm on this beach. The staff was certainly 5 star although they leave the premises at 9 p.m. It felt like more of a cute adult sleepaway camp rather than a hotel or resort. The facilities are all in good working order and condition for what they were. Everything was clean. If you want back-to-nature accommodations and like the super simple set up of this hotel (not a resort), then you will like this location. If you want or need any luxury or upmarket creature comforts, then perhaps Palita is not for you.

Very Nice Staff
This "resort" is extremely rustic. Not worn out or dirty but RUSTIC. The rooms and facilities are clean and well maintained but bareboned and minimal albeit cute. It was clean and the facilities seemed to work. I only stayed one night because it just was not to my taste. (No closet, hangers, drawers (there are a couple of shelves, night front desk) However the staff were extremely helpful and very nice. If you want rustic, unsophisticated, old world Thaia, this place may be a good fix. If you are looking for any sort of luxury, you will be disappointed. With that disclaimer in mind, I do recommend it for people who want this type of accommodation. Again, the workers/owners make up for the lack of modern amenities.

One night stay - Full Moon Party December 2016
Having been to the Full Moon Party before I was aware of the need to book in advance for somewhere good, and also that many places required a block booking of "x" days around the event. With that in mind, I was pleased I could book for the night of the party itself only. In terms of expense, for someone on a two week vacation it was completely affordable, for someone backpacking for months on a budget (as I have done before) this would be a luxury stop. The little lady who runs the Palita Lodge was lovely. Upon arrival we were given a drink on the house as we checked in, the room was great - air con, clean bathroom (absolute must) and a comfy bed. As with all accommodation around the party, we were informed of the rules and fines associated with fluorescent body paint - we stuck to the rules and got our full deposit back. On the night of the party, the lady running the lodge put on a buffet for guests and once again provided a free drink - a very personal touch that I was impressed with. I couldn't believe this was included in my booking, it saved having to go out and eat before going to the party. Location? - brilliant. For the party, it really is a short stroll down to the beach. It's situated at one end rather than in the middle, it will be loud all night but if you've had a few then you'll still sleep. There's a pool and bar area which we simply didn't have time to use. Breakfast was also decent and a ferry shuttle service was available for a reasonable price.
