Description
Barcelona's bungalows occupy an expansive stretch of hillside overlooking Haad Yuan. Several rows of stilted wooden bungalows sit at various elevations, all with at least some view. The rooms come with or without bathrooms and both options are clean and well-kept. The crowd here is young and very relaxed and the staff amiable. The units with shard bathrooms have a classic island design while the larger ones with private facilities look almost colonial and have much more space and offer more comfort inside. The partially-shaded hillside is a fine place to swing on a hammock and enjoy the view and breeze, and the beach is great for swimming or sunbathing. Sadly, the restaurant is mediocre and has little charm, but Barcelona remains a popular choice.

Good Value -
By RuthStephenson ( total comments: 5  More information please ) Stayed here 8/2007
After staying at the Sanctuary which is really lovely but quite pricey, Barcelona was a pleasant change. One big difference though was the noise - of longboats arriving all hours of the night. The staff were helpful and the bungalows clean enough. We didn't eat in the restaurant there (except one breakfast which was very average) as there is a fantastic restaurant called the Bamboo Hut to the north of the beach on the rocks overlooking the bay.


Fell in love -

Stayed here for about a week after completeing my month of Thai boxing at Horizon. I absolutley love this place, i had some of the most amazing times here, the staff are excellent, Boon is just a big bundle of fun and smiles and when we where there they had gorgeous litter of puppies running around. Diosagree with the comment about the restaurant, at night the place is happening, in a chilled out kinda way. Stay here if you can!

Eden Garden
Haad Yuan, Ko Pha Ngan
A very laid-back and friendly setup on the northern rocks past Bamboo Huts, Eden Garden is popular among the mellower backpacking crowd.

Good Hope
Hat Yuan, Ko Pha Ngan
Good Hope is another older operation along Haad Yuan's rocky southern headland. The bungalows are worn inside and out but are spacious and bright inside with lots of natural light.
