Super nice and quiet resort. We lived in 1 row to the beach. I don't think there is a better location on Koh Mak.As it is a bit far from any pubs, we missed being able to get a drink at the hotel. The selection was only beer and wine.Really friendly staff who were ready to help you all the time.

“A hotel from my dreams or heaven on earth” - this is exactly what I want to say when you first enter the hotel premises, where you are greeted at the reception by friendly staff.Accommodation in your own villa in a green area, overlooking the garden and the sea - what could be better? The area itself is spacious, well-kept and with lots of natural sounds, from birds to geckos. The houses are cozy, well maintained, with a spacious terrace and an additional outdoor shower.The price includes a buffet breakfast.On site there is a large, deep swimming pool with clean, very warm water. It is open 24 hours a day, since no one turns off the pool lights, so you can enjoy a night swim under the starry sky.On my next trip to Koh Mak I will definitely stay at this hotel again ❤️

The house is beautifully adorned with wood. The beach is beautiful at high tide, However it depends on the tide(moon cycle)The outdoor pool is one of my favorites. Its decked out with gleaming floors. These rooms are well-organized. It's extremely quiet here

The disadvantage is that there is no TV. It's a bit lonely. The breakfast is a little small. Choose a menu between Fried eggs/scrambled eggs/omelet/shrimp porridge are a set, including orange juice, water, tea, coffee, and toast.The atmosphere is quiet and private. Not chaotic.I would like to praise the employee named Nong Ek..He alone can handle it. He is calm and provides very good service.Wifi in the room is very strong. The bath water is hot, so it's comfortable to soak in the tub.The bed is soft and comfortable. The bathroom is spacious 👍👍👍

Plub Pla is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. The location is horrible. It's very far from the town and there is nothing to do near or even at the hotel. The beach is nothing but rocks. Definitely not possible to swim. The pool is in great need of maintenance. If you do want to go to the pool, good luck getting a chair, because the eight that are there are not enough.While the cleaning staff is quite nice, the front desk guy makes it seem like working there is punishment. He hardly speaks or understands English, nor does he even make an effort. When you try to talk to him, he will most likely be doing something on his cellphone, which his attitude makes clear is much more important than you.The breakfast is disgusting. They make it very clear that you may only order one item, but I can't imagine anyone wanting seconds anyway. Use the toaster if you want, but make sure the fire extinguisher is nearby.The list goes on and on, but to conclude, do not stay here.

would not recommend this hotel. We weren't picked up from the pier despite the advertised "free shuttle service", the beach is littered with rubbish and there are a lot of broken glass lying there. The beach is rocky and not suitable for swimming. the hotel is very remote and you need a scooter to get anywhere.I would rather recommend the other side of the island, as it is nicer for swimming/snorkeling and has a bit more going on.The staff speaks 0.0 English and it is very difficult to communicate.At the pool there are 8 loungers available for the entire hotel - with around 21 rooms... Mallorca standards. Sun loungers are reserved from early on.Breakfast is not a buffet but you choose one dish from the menu, you should be aware of that. The dinner tasted worse than good and was extremely overpriced. handful of fries 150B, 1 toast 150B.the room was always very clean.

At the beginning we would have liked to use the free pick-up service from the pier, but we never received a reply from the hotel and had to pay for the transfer ourselves. According to booking photos, we booked a beach bungalow with a whirlpool but then got a bathtub. The bathtub could not be drained by yourself but could only be drained by the staff. The beach is very rocky and not suitable for swimming. There is also a lot of garbage and broken glass washed up where my friend cut his foot. Staff speaks very poor English except for the boss when she is present. Room was always very clean.
