Koh Kood Hotels with Balcony

I read numerous reviews from different sites mostly pre pandemic. Numerous negative comments primarily focused on the lack of maintenance relating to bungalows and surrounding grounds. Well after my first day here I can say nothing has changed. I paid 2470 baht per night for my aircon bungalow x 5 nights. Generally, as long as the room is devoid of bugs and the aircon, tv, fridge and hot water all work (all okay here) I'm not too fussed about decor etc. But I think the price to value ratio lacked equity. I say this based on comparative island establishments from my extensive traveling around Thailand. Only the pool and beach were redeeming features for me. Breakfast was ordered from a set menu plus toast, juices and fruit. This switched to a buffet when there were enough guests. It was adequate for me. A ground maintenance crew turned up on my second day so they would have been kept busy for some time. The resort did organise a fire show on the Saturday night. I did not leave Koh Kood with a fond memory of my bungalow but I did toward the friendly, helpful and attentive staff and the location on this beautiful island.

Usually a hotel or resort doesn't live up to the advertising but in this case it definitely does. Koh Kood is a beautiful island and this resort is amazing. Incredible location on a stunning beach, amazing facilities and fantastic staff. The deluxe pool villa was well-appointed with everything i needed, including a delightful little pool. The resort's galaxy pool is big and looks straight across the lawn to the beach. Every single staff member I came across was friendly, helpful and professional. I hope to come back to this beautiful resort another time.

It was a 3-day-and-2-night trip with my friends and my 9-year-old daughter so we booked 2 villas with a private swimming pool. The villas are not new or super neatly cleaned but all are okay and kind of acceptable. The best thing is the resort staff. They are super nice, fun and friendly. They are ready to drop everything they are doing just to talk to you and answer your question. No matter how silly it is! They make me feel like they are ready to solve all the problems in the world for you, if asked! My daughter loves fishing there (even though she didn't get any fish lol). We borrowed the fishing rod from one of the nicest (probably) front desk staff who didn't seem to be bothered spending time teaching my daughter how to safely use the equipment. Wish I could ask for his name before we left. So I could give him better compliment. The view is just magical. Kayaking is also super fun. The Food is ways, ways better than we expected. The night bartender is a super cool & funny guy. He hosted the funniest Hermit crab racing in the world!

Facilities: I have stayed in the best hotel in Thailand and the founder of Six Senses, so it is quite similar to Six Senses, but it feels better than Six Senses Koh Samui. Maybe the location and the pick-up by private jet and yacht will make the experience even more upgraded. The brightest point is that the hotel's breakfast is superb Environment: very good feeling back to nature Hygiene: excellent and impeccable Very satisfied with the 3-week trip to Thailand. Soneva is the best hotel I have ever stayed in in Thailand. From the environment to the service to the additional items of the hotel, I recommend everyone to go diving and fishing. The price is also very reasonable. I plan to go there again at the end of the year

The beach front pool villa was perfect, looking straight out over the sea. Two huge double beds which were really comfortable. Cold, quiet air conditioning. Large bathroom with outside shower. (inc shampoo, body wash etc) TV with Netflix if you’re feeling lazy. And a coffee machine. Outside pool was an added bonus to cool off. Zanzibar, the resort cocktail bar make really great cocktails with happy hour (50% off) between 5 to 7 Breakfast was good and had variety. Eggs station, toast, bacon and pastries. They also have rice dishes, vegetables and pasta. The resort restaurant was disappointing with prices well over 300 baht for Thai dishes. The quality did not reflect the price at all. Be aware if you book a transfer through the resort to Koh Chang, it’s pricey & stops at multiple piers before heading to Koh Chang.

Very nice property. Recently renovated. Everything works. Beach is clean, clear water. Lots of gardening and coconut groves. Very good breakfast, considering it's an island. Restaurant also cooks good food and reasonably priced. Kayaks and snorkels available for free. Kids loved it. Added attraction - there is a freindly talking Sulphur Cockatoo named Toby, kids loved it. Not much option to go out there is a small eatery on the right side of gate. Beautiful Shantaa Kohkood is just opposit, nice for an early dinner. Overall value Very good experience in Koh Kood paradise.

The hotel was immersed in a wonderful nature, the cleaning was not perfect and the room was large, but we missed some comfort we used to, like the TV, the light lock and the bedside comfort. There was the minimum necessary, but it was right, breakfast was ”different” from ours, little coffee or milk (not available), but rice and eggs and salted meals. If it happens to you and you do not have too much claims spending the right on this island, it is the hotel that makes for you!

Well, after a lot of searching we finally found a place on the beach, away from the bigger resort areas, within our budget, and overall, we weren't disappointed. The good The location is ideal. Right on a stretch of gorgeous sand with a shallow stretch of sea protected by a shelf of rocks a hundred metres offshore. With young kids, nothing could have been better. Crystal clear waters, clean beaches, and just what the doctor ordered. The staff were very welcoming, and the resort provides free masks and snorkels as well as skiffs for up to three people to paddle out over the shallow sea. There are plenty of fish to see so it's definitely worth taking advantage of these. There's a great collection of tables, sun loungers, swings, and hammocks for you to use, and most have umbrellas to protect you from the harsh May sun. It was incredibly hot at this time and I don't think we were quite prepared for that. The staff were very responsive when we asked for some things to be fixed in the room, such as a missing towel rail from the bathroom, an iced-up fridge, a broken remote control. and these are were resolved within a day or two. Perhaps the best thing about the resort is the restaurant and bar. The food was, we thought, exceptional value and of really good quality. My daughter couldn't eat enough of the spaghetti with pork and tomato and the spaghetti with bacon and chilli is excellent. Also good value is the barbecue set which we had for lunch at least twice. There's enough for 3 or 4 people with just one set. The bar is a great place to relax in the evening though I wish they were a bit more imaginative and varied with their happy hour cocktails. The not so good I've mentioned the problems with the fixtures and fittings in the room. What I find annoying is that guests need to tell staff that a towel rail has been removed, and that the fridge is so iced up as to be unusable. For the price, these things should be checked at least between guest bookings. The wooden laminate flooring in the bungalows has been pretty badly warped and there are gaps between the ends of the boards. This doesn't give a good first impression but perhaps the most annoying thing about the room was the design of the bathroom which seems to have been done by someone with no sense of what should go where. When you open the door to the bathroom, it brushes the side of the toilet seat, which inevitably means the toilet seat is constantly loose. Mad idea to put a toilet just inside a door. I don't think I've ever come across a design like that before. The shower location and the way it's attached to the wall means that anything near the sink gets totally soaked unless you want to remove the shower from the fitting and hold it while you shower. I think a bit of care and effort when designing the bathrooms would have paid off. But perhaps the worst thing of all is the breakfast. Considering the main restaurant food is pretty good, you'd expect breakfast to be along similar standa

Considering this was our most expensive accommodation on a 3 week tour of Thailand (Approx £178 per night for 2 adults and 1 child) this was our most disappointing hotel. We booked the ground floor Sea Horse so we’d have easy access to the beach and pool. First impressions were good, the views were incredible. However on closer inspection the bathroom was awful. It felt dirty, well in need of updating and had a terrible sewer smell, to the point we didn’t want to use it. The towels and sheets were all stained. Although the room was huge there’s no furniture to unpack anything, or surfaces to put anything. The kettle is no where near a plug. And there’s an unnecessary full size fridge freezer, when a wardrobe would be more useful. Although there was a large deck by the pool there was no drying rack and no seating which would have been nice to make the most of the pool which was pretty much just for decoration. The breakfast was terrible with very little choice. The staff were mostly indifferent, never very friendly or smiley. The only redeeming feature was the beach which was absolutely stunning. Though only 12 sun loungers for the whole resort. To warrant the price they’re charging they need to completely renovate the bathrooms, invest in some furniture and towels.

This corner of Koh Kood cannot be described as really good value for money. The I-Lay stands out in a positive way. We booked a room, only to find out that it was supposed to be a permanent tent -??!-. So we rebooked because we were expecting a bungalow. It worked after some replanning by the owner of the small resort. The owner really tried hard, was nice and friendly. But it was an emergency solution, as it was fully booked. The bungalow was not supposed to be rented out. Why? Well, everything was fine!!! On the 3rd day of our holiday, a thunderstorm rained down during the night for several hours. (Anyone who has experienced this in Thailand knows what I am talking about.) Tons of water without end. At some point the roof under my bed gave way and it started leaking through. What? I took it with humor. It is just a resort suitable for everyday use. 3 hours later everything was dry again anyway. Absolutely positive: friendliness. If you want to get into the ”flow” of the resort, it is a top destination for relaxation. You ”slow down”. And it's immediately part of the resort. Choose breakfast the night before (no buffet - why throw away 40% of the breakfast buffet afterwards???). Good! Unlimited coffee (unfortunately only instant - my only criticism!!!!). Scooters are also available for hire. We got the newest one with just 80km on the clock and really broke it in. The thing was really ”toxic” afterwards! Conclusion: If you don't need ”blinking” ”blinking” and ”fancy stuff”, this is a fantastic place. (I don't need anyone to clean up after myself). Overall, an absolute recommendation - but not for club vacationers!!!
