Buffalo Bay Vacation Club

I booked through Agoda which was a mistake. If you book with them you pay full price plus tax...it ends up much more than the advertised price...my room was good in the sense it had a water view...it was old and the bathroom smelled like mildew. The power is not strong and hardly turns the lights on. after being dropped off there I discovered that there is not a store or any where to purchase anything. We walked up and down the beach which is full of sharp small chips of corral that hurt your feet looking for some place to eat....good luck with that...very little to chose from. Decided out of desperation to eat at the restaurant at the resort....WHAT A MISTAKE the food was bland and had no taste, the price was very high and the mosquitoes were like small birds.....where I asked the server for a fan to keep the mosquitoes off us he brought one...but there is not enough power in the lines to run the fan....we were the 3rd week in January and we were the only ones at the restaurant...that should have been a clue....the young lady behind the desk as nice and the place is quite except for barking dogs and early in the morning. I wish I had read the reviews here earlier and not booked at all or at least not booked through Agoda.... I won't make this mistake again.....EVER

We could choose our bungalow and got the one with sea view! Very nice , clean place and very quiet when we were there (off-season). Friendly staff, very helpful in organizing trips and making the best of our vacation. Food was great, especially the chicken with cashew nut and the roti with vegetables. We went on an amazing snorkeling trip that was recommended to us - totally worth it. On the beach there were the most beautiful clams we have ever seen. Kayaking is for rent, we did not go. We would always go there again.

The room is damp and for what you can get overpriced. If you like to be in a quiet place, maybe it is the place you are looking for. For us it was not nice to have to walk through the dirty sand to the room from the entrance, having to wash your feet, only to wake up some ugly, black mosquitos, which attacked immediately or joined you when entering the room. Maybe this counts for the whole island, we didn't like it. And we live in Thailand! Breakfast was expensive, no lunch or diner being served due to lack of staff (April not yet low season) Renting one of the kayaks would cost 300 baht per HOUR! A motorbike on the island costs less then that for a whole day.

Manager ladies unfriendly.We talk with another customers same thing. The price room is expensif.The room not clean. Don t take room near generator because koh Phayam haven't electricity everywhere The place near the beach is ok. The Breakfast is not nice.

Compared to other bungalow sites on the island, this place is expensive and with very little love put into the details. Also the generator is very loud. If you get a bungalow in the back you will need to close the windows to sleep.
