The reviews of Kupu Kupu in Koh Phangan are excellent. They have asembled a friendly and highly professional staff to run one of Koh Phangan's leading hotels. The only thing missing at this resort appears to be a gym, and perhaps a business centre - but who wants to do work when there is so much relaxing and self-pampering to enjoy!
