Fantastic hotel. Stunning beauty, super friendly staff, magnificent beach. The area is quiet and super relaxing. Feels so luxurious, but is very affordable given the standard. The beach front villas are literally five meters from the beach. All in all, probably the best place I have stayed ever, factoring in in quality vs price.The hotel offers you to rent a scooter very cheaply, if you want to explore the island and try cafes, restaurants etc. Traffic is very calm.

Beautiful resort right at the beach. The bungalows are embedded in a beautiful garden that invites to relax, lay at the beach or get a message. We rented scooters from the hotel in order to explore more of Koh Mak. All the additional services of the resort are very affordable. We’d recommend staying here.

Unfortunately the pool area wasn't that nice. Here you could get more out of it with more loungers/cushions, perhaps a bar. The pool itself is very cute, but unfortunately it has the temperature of a bathtub.You could also get more out of the terrace by the restaurant, more shade, different or more tables and chairs.

We booked this property in March 2024 for 7 nights. It is located on the beach of the same name and consists of a bungalow complex with a beautifully landscaped and well-kept garden. It includes a pool and its own restaurant right by the sea.We were happy about the free pickup and dropoff service to/from the port with e-golf cars. The welcome was friendly.Our bungalow with separate toilet, shower and sink room was very large, bright and clean. A shaded roof terrace with 2 loungers, a table and chair was accessible via an outside staircase.In the restaurant, breakfast was offered in buffet form and contained a good selection to fill you up. The service staff were very friendly, but communication was not always smooth.You can enjoy the sunset on the chilled roof terrace of the restaurant with a small bar. Food can also be served up there upon request. We tested, among other things, cocktails, snacks and various dishes. Not everything needed to be repeated.The beach to the left of the resort is short and has a few loungers. During our stay we also noticed the lounger reservations here. The beach on the right side of the resort was barely existent at high tide. Longer walks were only possible there at low tide. We saw a lot of garbage there.During our stay we had to deal with a massive sandfly problem. We were even stabbed on the resort lawns.

Nice bungalows, although not very well thought out by the architects, open WC without door with a view into the shower, for peace and quiet when you are in a small corner it is not very pleasant.The rooftop is good, but with the heat it gets there during the day and the heat it gets at night, it's really too hot and very poorly lit, a simple lamp is not enough.Otherwise, the location is superb, the garden very beautiful, the staff very friendly and helpful, the beach is very beautiful, a little less at low tide, but it is not very disturbing.Breakfast and meals are very good and well served.Recommended!

Great and friendly service by the staff. They basically try to fullfil your every wish and sometimes you might even feel guilty that you mentioned something. They offer free transportation to and from the piers, and can arrange you a co-working space with great Internet if you need one. Scooters can be rented for only 200 baht per day which is very cheap. The location is really beautiful and there are various services within walking distance from the resort. Nights are very peaceful: there are no beach parties or anything like that to worry about.There are some not so good things too, though: while the WiFi is really fast at or near the reception area, it is pretty much unusable in the villas furthest away from the reception. The rooms show quite a bit of wear and tear. Same for some of the scooters: they have seen better days a long time ago. Because some of the villas have gaps in the ceiling panel of the shower area, lizards can enter the villas pretty freely (and this happened in my case a bit too often, though I was offered another villa). It would be great if the resort could fix the gaps.Overall, for best experience, I recommend potential guests to book one of the sea view villas. Then you will probably have a great stay at the Ao Kao resort.
