Plaay Laem Accommodation |
Stone Hill Resort
Myself and two of my friends from Ireland stayed here for four nights in August. It was just fantastic, the view from the bungalow was amazing. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. We rented scooters for a few days, the location is ideal for exploring the island. I will certainly be returning to the Stone Hill Resort.Padraig H, Ireland - Tripadvisor
The only negative being that you have to walk up a very steep hill to get to the resort, if you're arriving with suitcases, maybe ask your taxi driver to take you as far as possible rather than the end of the entrance. The bungalow that we had was amazing with a stunning sea view, comfortable beds, a fridge, microwave...Leah G - Tripadvisor
This resort was one of our highlights in a travel of over half a year. Best place to relax a few days! Nice bungalows with a amazing view on the ocean! And on top of that you have the Amstadam-Bar. Andre, Thailand - Agoda

Stone Hill Resort
Stone Hill Resort is a popular bungalow resort on a hill overlooking Plaay Laem Beach. Originally on this site was Amsterdam Bar and a few bungalows that were available for rent. Over the years they have expanded the bungalow side of the business and added new facilities such as a swimming pool.
Those Koh Phangan old hands who remember the early days of the Amsterdam Bar might be surprised to discover that they are now a 3 star establishment.
Plaay Laem, one of the best beaches on the West Coast of Koh Phangan, is 5 minutes' walk from Stone Hill Resort.
TIP: a taxi from Thongsala to Stone Hill Resort costs 100 Thai Baht. Ask for 'Amsterdam Bar' as many taxi drivers are still not familiar with 'Stone Hill Resort'.
Stone Hill Resort has a collection of concrete bungalows with seaviews. They all have air-con, hot water bathrooms and are comfortable. The bungalows also include a TV and fridge. These are a step up from basic backpacker bungalows.
Some of the bungalows also include kettle and mircowave.
All the bungalows also feature free wifi connection. Because of the hill the accommodation at Stone Hill Resort might not be suitable for people with mobility issues.
The main faciliity is the Amsterdam or 'Amstardam' Bar. I think the misspelling is a reference to the stars you can see at night. It is an impressive bar perched on a massive boulder with a large viewing platform where people can chill and enjoy the sunset. The bar has a full range of spirits and beers and can do a mean cocktail or bucket. They also throw parties. They also have a selection of Thai and Western dishes on the menu.
Recently a swimming pool has been added to the resort facilities. It has great views and plenty of seating. You can see the pool from the bar which is above it. The pool like the bar is on a huge granite rock facing the ocean. Relaxing in the pool and taking in the view is one way to get over the climb up the hill to the resort.
Other services include taxis, laundry service and motorbike rental.
For the Full Moon the minimum stay is 3 nights. For Christmas it is 5 nights and for New Year's Eve it is 7 nights. It is free for a child to stay in a bungalow with its parents - no rip-off breakfast is charged.
