We enjoyed out time at this resort. The property felt a little run down and tired, but it was clean and safe. There often weren't enough chairs around the pool, but the staff did eventually bring more up from the beachfront area. We didn't not experience any sandfleas (at the resort or elsewhere on the island). It was easy and affordable to rent a scooter at the resort.

The beautiful island of Ko Mak

We really enjoyed our relaxing beach holiday on the beautiful island of Ko Mak. Of the three hotels on our trip this was our favourite. (Other hotels were the 4* Awa Resort on Ko Chang and Choaloa Tosang Beach Resort on Choa load beach on the mainland).

We stayed in a beach front bungalow (S6) which had stunning views across the bay, and open onto an immaculately maintain lawn leading directly onto the beach.

Rooms are a bit dated but spacious and well laid out, generous size bathroom with perfectly adequate shower. Hint - the room safe is in the little cupboard underneath the bedside table.
Best point is location, location, location. Stunning setting, restaurants and shops , even a coin operated laundrette just outside the entrance.

The restaurants just outside the hotel served the best Thai food compared to Ko Chang and Choa Loa..

Do note - the island only has approx. 1000 residents. There are no banks., ATM's or currency exchange on the island. There are no cars - only mopeds and bikes and the pickup truck taxis which charge you 50 Baht per person to go anywhere on the island This hotel also had the best WiFi of the three hotels.

Getting there - the Ko Chang and Ko Mak websites have up to date information. We were able to book the ferries on-line back here in the UK and \"Live Chat\" with our questions. Transfers all arranged online with Ko Chang Transfers who we would recommend.

Great family stay on Koh Mak

Very clean large family room with beautiful sea view that you can choose to have cleaned if required. But it is not done if you don't leave your key with them. They explain this on check.in. Free shuttle service to and from the boat pier. Food pretty good overall and breakfast was great. They have a beach BBQ in the evenings which was quite nice. Beach generally lovely but lots of debris washed up on certain parts. Makes you realise how much waste we tourists generate and that we should be better at tidying up after ourselves. Free wifi was overall good but a bit patchy in the room on occasion. Staff generally friendly and nice. Would recommend if you plan to visit Koh Mak.

Great stay

Stayed two nights in the deluxe room no.303. Spacious, clean room with a balcony and beautiful ocean view. Friendly, polite, helpful staff. The hotel is right on the beach, just a couple of steps from the ocean. Semi-buffet breakfast (coffee, tea, juice, fruits, muesli as buffet, main dish by order) was good. Some comments say that there's no wifi in the room. In our room, there was wifi, and it worked fine. Two-way-transfer from/to Ao Nid pier (Trat catamaran by Boonsiri, approx. 3 km) was included to the room price. Would definitely stay again.

Vi hade bokat ett Delux Room with seaview. Bodde i hotelldelen. Rummet var fräscht, balkong med utsikt mot poolen och havet. Frukosten var bra. Både västerländsk frukost och thai. Solstolar både vi havet och vid poolen. Strand/pool handukar fanns till förfogande. Enda nackdelen var egentligen Wi-fi som man behövde logga in var 20 minut för att kunna använda. Efter 21.00 på kvällen var det in princip omöjligt att använda wi-fi eftersom alla använder samma nät.

Third time, first time disappointed..

My first time stay here and first time i got disappointed. The pool area (bathroom as well) not well maintened as it used to be. Got the seaview villa for one night with the idea of extend my stay after breakfast and that was the biggest disappointment. Breakfast is not a buffet anymore and that's understandable.. Arrived at 9:30.. Made a order.. Went to take coffee for me and my gf but the machine had no water.. Had to wait 5 min for the refill and that's ok.. Went to get coffee once ready but at the same time we got the food so i got mine first because my gf got a soup and wanted to eat that first.. When she went to get coffee, they already cleaned the machine and took away the yogourt area (10:04!!!)..the staff was just playing phone and after we could get attention they just say \"cannot, machine clean already\".. Well advise before ? Just 10:04.. We were the only table for breakfast.. Unacceptable.. Moved in another place for the remaining 5 nights.. For the price paid i expected a better treatment.. A bit disappointed about the room and beach condition as well.. I hope they will be back how they used to be

Struttura bella con bungalows sulla spiaggia e camere sulla piscina.camere molto grandi con aria condizionata. La spiaggia potrebbe essere tenuta meglio, effettuando maggior pulizia. Colazione varia e ottima. Bella piscina. Unico neo il riordino delle camere:o ti alzi all'alba perche' le fanno entro le 9 o non riposi il pomeriggio perche' le fanno dalle 14 in poi, e con quel caldo dalle 14 alle 16, a meno che non sei in escursione, puoi solo stare in camera con l'aria condizionata accesa. Ottima la cena con barbecue sulla spiaggia a prezzi bassi. Molto gentile il ragazzo alla reception e tutto il personale in generale.Comodo il molo di attracco da dove partono le barche ve!oci per la terra ferma. In generale esperienza positiva e koh mak e' fantastica un vero paradiso!

Mukava majoitus Koh Makilla

Hotelli on paikoin hieman ikääntynyt, esimerkiksi rantavillat (jotka kuitenkin varsin mukavia!) Uuttakin hotellissa on, kuten kattobaari, ja ilmeisesti varsinaisen hotellin puolen huoneet on uusittu hiljan. Sijaitsee keskellä ok rantaa, joka hotellista länteen päin on tosin varsin roskainen. Hotellin edessä on venelaituri, jolta saa kyydin mantereelle - mutta ei esim. Koh Changille. Miinusta aamiaisesta, joka oli aika luokaton.

Gut gelegen,in die Jahre gekommen,schlecht geführt

Altes Hotel, das leider schlecht geführt wird und immer weiter herunter kommt. Die Zimmer sind OK, halbwegs sauber und groß. Der Roomservice unter aller Sau und nur auf Anforderung vorhanden, ansonsten passiert NICHTS. Der Pool ist enttäuschend klein und so stark gechlort, dass mir die Augen brannten, ohne drin gewesen zu sein. Das Frühstück ist, abgesehen von netten Eiern und Eierspeisen, eine Katastrophe.
Die Lage ist allerdings gut, wenn der Strand auch widerlich verdreckt ist (wofür das Hotel nichts kann, obwohl das Personal zur Strandsäuberung nicht das Attribut \"Reinigungs-\" sondern eher \"Ich-kratz-mal-ein-bisschen-rum-\" Service verdient hat.

Personal bol maximalne neochotny, pri kazdej poziadavke sa tvarili ako by sme ich obtazovali. Nespravali sa priatelsky. Izby boli ciste, avsak hotel bol dost zanedbany, taktiez jeho okolie (vela odpadkov na plazi). Ranajky boli skromne a nie vzdy doplnili jedlo pre dalsich hosti ked sa nieco zjedlo. Poloha hotela bola dobra, nachadzal sa hned na plazi. Prve dva dni bola voda v bazene zelena, takze sa nedal vyuzivat. Bolo by taktiez vhodne upozornit hosti na Vasej stranke ze v mori sa neda bezpecne kupat nakolko je tam problem so sasankami.

rauhallinen loma saarella

Hotellin ranta ei ole saaren kauneimpia. Rannalla roskia,hotellin henkilölunta ei ilmeisesti pidä rannasta huolta.Hotellissa työskentelee pääsääntöisesti lapsilta näyttävä henkilökunta.
Kävimme hotellin ravintolassa illallisella ja kokemus oli hirveä. Tilaamamme kana oli rakaa. Kun asiasta huomautimme, niin henkilökunta nyppi lautaseltani kanat ja vei ne grilliin hetkeksi ja palasi samojen palojen kanssa. Kana oli edelleen raakaa emmekä syöneet ruokiamme. Maksun ravintola otti normaalisti. En suosittele syömään hotellin omassa ravintolassa.
