Cookies Salad Resort

Really nice resort, very cozy and charming. The workers are so nice and helpful. The food is good, the pool is always clean, is near by the beach. The entrance is a bit scary but they are always there to help. The AC, the bathroom, the TV and tea machine work very well. Not complaining in anything. Thanks for your hospitality.

Cookies Salad Resort is such a cute little place tucked away on a very steep hill, which makes it feel private and special. The bungalows are cozy, each with large balconies that are just perfect for relaxing. Both the rooms and balconies are thoughtfully designed with lots of sweet little details and a very authentic Thai touch.||The restaurant is a highlight – the food is delicious, and the view of the beach is absolutely stunning. You can easily spend hours here just enjoying cocktails, watching the ocean, and spotting birds. They also host live music and BBQ evenings, which make the atmosphere even more fun. Every afternoon there’s also a cocktail happy hour, which is a great bonus.||Inside the rooms, they even provide Netflix and other streaming apps, which is a nice touch for winding down. That said, there are a few areas where the resort could improve. The mattresses were a downside – the first room’s bed was so hard it felt like sleeping on concrete, and while the second room had a softer mattress, it still wasn’t very comfortable. The showers were also disappointing: very low water pressure, sometimes no hot water at all, and shower heads that seemed never to have been cleaned from limescale. Another issue was cleanliness – in our first room the sheets smelled wonderfully fresh, but in the new room the linens felt less clean, almost as if they hadn’t been washed.||Even with these small downsides, our overall experience was still really lovely. The atmosphere, the food, the views, and especially the people make it worth staying. The staff are absolutely amazing – so sweet, helpful, and genuinely caring.||I would absolutely recommend Cookies Salad Resort if you’re looking for a charming, authentic, and memorable stay on the island.

We recently stayed here as a family of three, including our 4-year-old child. The Good: Location and Vibe The property’s location is its best strength. Decent Location: The property is on one corner of the Salad Beach, offering beautiful, secluded views. It is a bit rocky in front of the property and to enjoy the beach you will need to walk about 100 yards. It's a nice, quiet beach that is not crowded. Walkable: You can easily walk to the main beach area. Cleanliness: The villas themselves were clean. Areas for Improvement: Unfortunately, several issues significantly impacted our overall experience, making it an average stay that we would likely not repeat on our next visit to Koh Phangan. 1. Not Family-Friendly (Major Issue) The listing must be updated to clearly and prominently state that the property is not suitable for young children and/or anyone who cannot hike a steep climb. The villas are situated on a steep incline/slope, making navigation difficult and potentially dangerous for small children. We were only notified of this significant fact via email the day before arrival, when we had no option to change our booking. While a Golf Cart is available, its use is severely limited, stopping service at 5:00 or 6:00 PM. After that, guests are entirely on their own to manage the steep terrain in the dark. 2. Breakfast (Biggest Disappointment) The listing promises a "very good breakfast," which we found to be a huge disappointment. No Buffet: There is no buffet. Repetitive, Limited Menu: The options are extremely limited, consisting of only 2-3 repetitive Thai dishes. Rigid Ordering: If you book a breakfast-inclusive package, you are locked into a very rigid, set menu (e.g., 4-5 fixed egg types with fixed sides). Any desire to "waver" from this set combination, or order something else, requires an additional charge. Poor Coffee Quality: The included coffee is very poor quality. You must pay extra to get a better cup of coffee. 3. Maintenance Needs The pool is visually appealing and faces the beach, but it requires better cleaning and regular maintenance. Overall Conclusion: While the natural beauty and secluded feel of Salad Beach are wonderful, the property's lack of transparency regarding the terrain and the poor breakfast experience significantly detracted from our vacation. We do not recommend this property for families with young children and likely won't return ourselves.

We stayed at Cookie Salad Resort as a family (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12) and were very happy with our accommodation. The family room was very spacious and equipped with everything we needed.||As the resort itself already mentions, the paths on the property can be quite steep. Therefore, you should not have any physical limitations. However, if you are fit, these paths are no problem at all – in fact, they help keep you in shape.||The location is simply stunning: Salad Beach is right in front of the resort and it is a beautiful, peaceful beach, perfect for relaxing.||All the staff – from the reception, restaurant, and housekeeping to the gardeners and drivers – were extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. We felt very welcome throughout our stay.||We truly enjoyed our time at Cookie Salad Resort and can highly recommend it.

This place does not deserve a 4.4 rating in any parallel universe. I believe that the pictures are 10 years old when the last time something was adapted there. Mold everywhere, even on the pillows, wires sticking out of the walls, sheets torn with holes and yellow-brown spots, questionable worms crawling around the toilet. The biggest disappointment is definitely the breakfast, which is marked on the offer as a excellent breakfast. I don't know what is excellent about the fact that you can choose one of the mentioned eggs, muesli or pancakes. Everything else is charged 250B. Also, the employees come and lay down in your hammock on the terrace as if you weren't there. The service is extremely unprofessional, I would not recommend this "resort" to my mortal enemy.

We spent 4 nights at Cookies in July, it is a lovely, private resort at the end of the beach. The room was nestled in the trees, perched on the hillside. We had our own little outdoor balcony and seating area overlooking whole beach. The room was spacious and clean with a comfy bed, very relaxing. There’s a nice little restaurant, bar and pool.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice bungalows close to the beach but not exposed to the sun so they don’t heat up too much. Delicious breakfast and a restaurant with a marvelous view over the bay. Recommendable.

super old accomodation! needs and some renovation and more friendliness! Sorry but Cookies is a weed brand, that the resort is running under, didn’t see any smoking friendly approach :(
