Koh Kood Hotels with balcony

Brand New Resort with Exceptional Service and the Best A La Carte Dining Experience!” Service & Facilities: Mint Lotus is a newly opened resort featuring modern, comprehensive facilities. The staff members are exceptional—incredibly attentive, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. As it is a smaller boutique resort, you really feel the warmth and personalized care. Atmosphere & Vibe: The resort is located on a very secluded beach with almost no crowds. If you are looking for ”ultimate peace and privacy,” this is the perfect destination. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing. Note for families: Our family was actually a bit disappointed because we personally prefer a more vibrant and exciting atmosphere with more people around. However, for those who truly love silence and solitude, this place is a 10/10. Exceptional Dining: The food here is the absolute highlight! The Buffet A La Carte system is incredible. There is a massive variety of dishes to choose from—it’s never repetitive or boring. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. This is easily the best A La Carte breakfast/dining experience we’ve ever had at a resort. The Beaches (Two Sides): The resort is uniquely situated between two different beachfronts: The Front Beach: This is a curved bay with a stone breakwater. Because the water circulation isn't very high, there is some algae and the water isn't perfectly clear. There are some small rocks, but it is still swimmable. The Back Beach: A short walk from the resort. This side is beautiful! The water is crystal clear, there are gentle waves, and very few rocks. It’s the perfect spot to soak and relax in the ocean. Summary: A top-tier choice for travelers seeking a brand-new resort with high-quality food and total seclusion. If you want to escape the world, come here!

We have just spent a wonderful 5 days here and it was a blissfully peaceful and tranquil stay. At first we were a little unsure about how remote and cut off it seemed but within a very short time, we had completely forgotten about the outside world. Shantaa resort had everything you could need for a truly relaxing stay. The villas are super comfortable, spotlessly clean and set in lovely gardens which roll down to the sea. The bathroom is an outdoor room which has its own pretty little tropical garden feature. Everything is tastefully furnished, the beds are very comfortable and everything is kept lovely and clean. The outside terrace has beanbag sofas which are great for lounging on. The pool area is great, nice beds and plenty of towels and bottled water available. The restaurant serves an à la carte breakfast which was really lovely. A lot of thought and effort goes into how the food and drink is made and presented. There is an extensive dinner menu and all the meals we took were of an excellent standard and really very inexpensive. The cafe, which has a lovely setting by the sea, serves lunches and drinks throughout the day and everything we ordered was super fresh and of a very high standard. All in all, a wonderful stay, we felt we had been on a health retreat!

The environment is truly beautiful. Our room had a sea view, and there's a wooden boardwalk and a beach. The hostess is very gentle and thoughtful. It's about a 30-minute drive from the pier, with restaurants nearby, and a 15-minute walk to Ao Prao Beach. However, the hotel's downside is the significant amount of trash on the beach to the right of the wooden boardwalk. It's not visible from afar, but up close, it's quite off-putting. It's sad to see such a beautiful environment with such a neglected area. Additionally, the breakfast quality is not high, and the variety is limited. The seafood porridge mentioned in other reviews was also gone. We stayed for two nights, and on the second day, we ordered fried eggs, but they hadn't arrived even after we finished everything else. When the server cleared our table and asked if we needed anything else, we reminded them about the fried eggs. It took a long time for them to be served, despite there being only a few guests at the time. Overall, there's a lot of room for improvement with breakfast. Finally, I want to thank the owner. Our pick-up car was late, and our phone card couldn't make calls, so we asked the hostess to contact them. Later, the host also helped us, even waiting with us. The car was 23 minutes late, and I was anxious, worried about missing the boat back to Koh Chang. With the host's help and company, I was finally able to patiently wait for the car to arrive.

The resort has just re-branded. They are developing and improving their resorts , facilities, services. There is high speed internet all area and strength signals. The most strength mobile service signals is AIS but they just equipped more for True/DTAC. The room is clean and comfortable bed. I recommend you bring your soap, shampoo … (Hotel provided but not good enough for me). There is personal beach in the front of resort. It really nice but many big stones. If you would like to swim in the sea, I suggest you swim far from the beach area.

Overall, not bad. The bungalows are definitely very old and run-down, and don't really justify the price. We paid around 2750 Baht per night for a family bungalow. However, it has all the essentials, and a really great breakfast is offered. There are also plenty of activities for kids – a playground, swings, a trampoline, toys, and even cats and dogs. The front desk staff are generally friendly, and scooters are available for rent at 250 Baht per day.

An unforgettable place. There's harmony and comfort in every square meter here, a beautiful beach, and everything is just excellent. It's a hotel you want to return to right after checking out!

We visit Koh Kood every year. As a family of three, we drive from Bangkok, park at the paid Ana Lay private parking lot, and then take a shuttle bus to catch either a speedboat or a ferry. Our usual pattern on Koh Kood is spending the whole day at the beach — playing in the sand, snorkeling, and taking some photos. Ana Lay Resort is located slightly on a hillside. As you walk down, you’ll find it surrounded by large rocks, and the property is arranged in a terraced style with a wide variety of room types. They also seem to be continuously adding new rooms closer to the beach. One of the highlights is the wooden walkway built among the large rocks — it blends beautifully with nature without damaging the environment, making it perfect for photos or a relaxing stroll. If you follow the path, you’ll reach the beach. The sandy beach is much larger than it looks in photos. At first, we were worried there might not be much sand, but we were pleasantly surprised by the size. There is also a spot where freshwater meets the sea, which is one of our favorite places. You can clearly see the changing scenery between high tide and low tide at this point. From the pier where the resort’s speedboats dock, you can enjoy diving and snorkeling. On the beach, you can easily spend the entire day playing in the sand. Breakfast isn’t extremely varied, but they offer freshly made noodle soup, bacon, and egg dishes, which we enjoyed. In the evening, the sunset view is stunning. The resort clearly recognizes this and has built the restaurant in a perfect location, making it easy to focus more on the scenery than the meal. I’m not sure if it’s every day, but the staff at Ana Lay also prepare a fire show. The quality was higher than expected, and we were very satisfied. This trip made it easy to understand why this place is popular among Thai travelers. We stayed for four days, and the staff were very friendly throughout our stay. Sometimes we rented a motorbike to go for lunch, dinner, or visit other beaches. A standard motorbike costs 300 baht per day, and a newer one costs 350 baht.

Excellent hotel on one of the best beaches! The room was well-equipped and the beds were comfortable! Great location with sea views! The restaurant serves delicious food! The shop is a 10-15 minute walk away! Overall, I liked everything!

Captain Hook is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet. The villas are nice, we stayed in a room with its own mini pool. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel can help you arrange boat rides, scooters to rent, ferry tickets, etc. Some amenities the resort offers are massages, fire shows, snorkeling, kayaking, and skiing. You should know that there is no beach in front of the resort, but it’s a quick swim/canoe to the beach across from the resort. The restaurant and bar sits right on the water and offers various western and eastern options. We would definitely recommend the fried chicken wings! It was a great holiday and we would choose this resort again when we travel to Koh Kood in the future.

I truly appreciated the warm, service-minded attitude of the team—especially the Front Office staff and Khun Alex, who were absolutely outstanding. The complimentary bead bracelet given at check-in was such a charming and thoughtful touch—I loved it! In-room amenities were carefully curated and genuinely impressive. The large woven tote bag, plush slippers, and soft bathrobes made the stay feel extra comfortable, while the coffee machine added a luxurious touch that far exceeded expectations for this price point. Although the property shows signs of age, I believe a renovation or a few thoughtful updates would significantly elevate the overall guest experience.
