Not that I can recommend this hotel, but overall it can be considered for a stay. It is located near an uncompromising beach, but at the same time it is quite nice at a reasonable price. Such a middle peasant. Just take into account that without a rented bike or car, there is nothing to do there..

Price and booking
At Cyana Beach Resort, I took a bungalow for 1600 baht / day (1900 baht with breakfast). But this is in January at the peak of the season. Off-peak price about 1400 baht / day (or 1700 baht with breakfast).

Be sure (and I insist) to check for discounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. He will quickly and easily show you discounts in all existing booking systems. In Asia, for example, there are a lot of offers on Agoda.com, which are much more interesting than for exactly the same hotels on Booking.com.
For example, here is a direct link to the hotel: Cyana Beach Resort .
Interior
At first glance, this is a very decent resort that fully matches its 8.5 rating. And, funny, foreigners are delighted, Russians write bad reviews. Perhaps the fact is that the first rate the hotel itself, the second rate its location.
Indeed, it is located for an amateur, since the word Beach in the name only says that the beach is nearby, but that it is completely incurable, you can find out either upon arrival, or from reviews, or by reading blogs that describe the beaches of Phangan, and matching location.
So I knew where I was going and why I was choosing this place, I had a rented bike, and 5-15 minutes for the beaches of Sritanu, Haad Son, Haad Yao is not a problem. And the hotel is really excellent, it is quite consistent with its 3 stars.
For example, there are all sorts of pleasant little things that always please and bring convenience: soap accessories, a couple of free bottles of water, an umbrella, napkins, a flashlight, coffee and tea, and finally a couple of bananas - a compliment from the hotel. There are also not trifles: air conditioner, fan, TV, hairdryer, iron, safe (screwed, by the way, to the wall), kettle and refrigerator. Bungalows are all wooden, clean, new and tidy.

The Internet is not ice. Wifi connects, but whether the Internet itself depends on weather conditions, or on the mood of the router. In general, when there was the Internet, it was slow. In the bungalow it was not possible to use it at all (I was sitting on 3G), in the restaurant it seemed to work fine.
Territory and breakfast
Breakfast from 8 to 10. If it was not included in the price, then 180 baht per person. Breakfast is not bad, finally there is a choice with what omelette, so that not only sausages or bacon, but also cheese, vegetables, etc. There are 20 varieties of omelet, a trifle, but personally convenient for me, since I do not eat sausages. And there is also a thai breakfast, you can take soup with shrimp or chicken, also edible.
Breakfast is very strict in time, one day I came at 10.05 and that's it, the kitchen is closed, I only asked for coffee for myself, this is a minus to their karma. Separately, I just had lunch at the hotel restaurant, the portions are small.

Mostly European pence is resting.
The area is well-groomed and small, in fact there is a path to the restaurant and a path between the bungalows. There is a pool near the restaurant where breakfast is served.
On the map
In my opinion, the location, on the contrary, is convenient, because the hotel is located between Thong Sala and Sritanu, everything is very close by bike, and from here you can ideally explore the island. And I, frankly, have little idea of how it gets along in Phangan without a bike..
Therefore, of the real minuses (because the location can be both a plus and a minus) is a dead Internet, it never worked for me. And of course, the lack of a beach, it's still great when the hotel is on the first line. But that would be a different price.

Nice and visually pleasing hotel. Wooden clean bungalows, swimming pool, on the beach in a quiet location. But the beach is not swimable at all. If you have a bike, then it takes about 10 minutes to get to a normal beach..
