Loyfa-Holina Natural Resort

Okay ill start with the positives, we upgraded to a sea and pool beach house which was amazing, the view was beautiful and people saying you can't swim in the sea is not true. Yes the tide goes out but we went out all morning snorkeling, the staff are really helpful and although it's a hilly walk to the resort from the shops..if you hire a bike it's fine. The resort itself is quite hilly so if you struggle to walk it could be challenging..the room was cleaned every day and a laundry service is offered but we got our clothed cleaner doing it ourselves in the sink Now for the real part.. despite you being able to book on booking. Com as a natural resort, it is in fact an addiction rehab and goes under the name holina rehabilitation centre on google so I can only assume they let remaining rooms to tourists once they have their allocated rooms to patients. There are planned group events that are not available to people just on holiday and you will notice and hear lots of 'chats and hugs' and discussions between them about their journeys at meal times so we ate else where and went to the bars for drinks in the evenings as no alcohol is allowed on site. Rumours are this resort is going to be a full rehab centre. Its a beautiful place and a really good location but be aware that you are amongst vulnerable people and this is very apparent when hearing conversations and in areas like dining and pool areas when they are present

I rented a beach front bungalow for 6 nights. They have 2 pools, one of which is very good for swimming. It was very silent and relaxing. The bungalows was basic but cozy and you have all you need. My bungalow was 20 m from the beach. Within a short walk (100-200 m) there was a busy street with a lot of restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, you cannot swim in the sea because of low water level and very stony ground within the water. I wouldn’t call it „wellness Resort“ either like the other reviews. I did not see wellness treatments and nothing was offered to me. It is called Loyfa but all the staff had shirts with „Holina“ on it. No alcohol policy, which I just acknowledged at the property itself. I cannot recommend the restaurant. The buffet is very basic but expensive and they were not flexible with the normal menu, but the small village is close.

It’s a good resort right on the beach with lovely sea views and it would be perfect for younger people! It’s quite hilly and somewhat challenging at time. Room and bathroom adequate and the balcony/ terrace fantastic. Comfortable bed. We stayed in a suite overlooking the bay towards Koh Samui. Shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was good overlooking the smaller pool and sea. Staff were helpful.

Fabulous location, with a 20 metre swimming pool with fantastic views over the ocean and a shallower family pool , easy walking distance to yoga, gyms, restaurants, food markets, motorcycle rental on site. Loyfa offer a pick up / drop off from the ferry boat piers. Idyllic quiet private beach with more than enough new sun loungers around the pools and beach. Great buffet breakfast inc fruits, cereals, cooked eggs, bacon, rice etc.. in the restaurant overlooking the sea. The friendly welcoming staff are all excellent at their jobs, from the great welcoming reception staff, cleaners and gardeners keeping the area clean and tidy daily. We had a beach/sea view villa for three weeks, and the sea view villa with loungers overlooking samui for 2 nights. We always stay here on our trips to koh phangan and recommend loyfa for couples and families.

Le bungalow B4 était vraiment trop petit pour deux prsonnes et la salle de bain vétuste sans rangement , ni espace pour poser nos affaires.Ménage pas fait tous les jours. Néanmoins vue magnifique sur la plage en dessous du bungalow.Deux piscines extraordinaires et un service massage trés professionnel et à l'écoute. Un énorme plus, le restaurant excellentissime avec beaucoup de choix thai et suédois. Je recommende ce resort sauf le bungalow B4 et B5. Village animé eeet routard à 5 minutes de marche:super
