Here’s everything you need to know: We were a little nervous by the reviews we had seen being that we are usually harsher reviewers than most. But to our surprise we really enjoyed our time here :) The beach is incredible, not perfectly white fine sand but a beautiful color nonetheless and incredible shallow turquoise water with coral in close reach but far enough to enjoy the calm, warm water especially ideal with children. As like most beaches in the region, the tide can have a big impact on your experience and requires a little bit of planning. No two low tides are the same, some can be quite low where you basically can go for a beautiful walk on the rocks, others can still make for a great swim. The time changes per day but staff are all well informed through an app and can advise you daily so you can plan around it. Remember all the beaches on the other side have the same issue but even more so and at lease the water is always calm here! The beach is soooo isolated tucked away from everything whereas the other side of the island is property by property. Only once for a short window of time on the weekend we saw a few long tail boats pull up nearby with organized day tours. The bungalows are beautifully decorated just as seen in the photos. Housekeeping does a great job keeping them clean, and the hot water and air conditioning work perfectly. The only downside is that the rooms are lined up on a straight path moving inland from the beach and main property in chronological order. So if you are in the end 15-30, it can be a bit of a walk back and forth. Luckily, we were moved from room 23 to room 5 with our small child which was a HUGE help. Our only other complaint is that the mattress was to firm for our taste, but worth the sacrifice. The swimming pool is clean and a perfect place to be when the tide gets too low. Though it is uncovered so sunscreen is needed during the harsher hours of the day. The restaurant makes some truly delicious food. The menu does not change but is quite extensive between western, eastern, and Thai dishes. Prices are higher than other parts but are still very reasonable. The bartenders make some great drinks and smoothies, some of the best fresh coconuts we’ve ever had too! Dinner seating daily on the beach is such a treat! They had two play areas for kids and activities available which our daughter absolutely loved. Most importantly to us: the people were wonderful and kind even if not at the higher standards we are used to. This was our biggest fear when booking but it came clear to us early on that the employees are overworked and understaffed. A sad truth about a lot of resorts in the area and I can understand that they can appear grumpy at times or missing some attention to detail, but they respond to smiles with smiles and to kindness with kindness. We were beyond happy with the service and hope that management will change their ways to make for a better environment for their employees which will ulti
The hotel is very beautiful and the location is very good. It is very close to the beach. The beach is not as fierce as other islands. The hotel staff is very attentive. The luggage is good for the things to help fix the boat. The memory is amazing. You enter them. After the hotel's regional registration, almost all the service staff remembered where you lived. Breakfast buffet has fruit yoghurt and various breads. Other Thai-style meals have chefs who do omlet. The hotel generally does not provide toothbrushes. You need to bring your own toiletries. Also, there is no need to bring a beach blanket because the hotel is famous, so ask the crew and the ground pick-up staff. They will change the boat to help you to park. Don’t worry.
The hotel is located in a stunning location. The views are simply amazing. It is noticeable that the hotel has remnants of its former luxury, that it is ancient and has not been in operation for a long time. But the ratio of the price ($50 per night) with the service and the opening views of the island and the sea - only covers its shortcomings in the form of tired furniture. The choice of food is not very large, but we are not a picky customer. We were satisfied with everything, including breakfast included in the price and separate dishes that we ordered for lunch and dinner.
The staff is very friendly and fulfilled every request.
The downside is that there is no swimming beach, but after walking 1 kilometer along the beach, we realized that there are no ideal beaches on this side. And all the five hotels that were along the road are suffering just as much as we are, only the price is higher there.
Another minus is that the room we chose near the pool is high up and it’s hard to climb up the steps into it, but this effort is rewarded with a mesmerizing view from the room or the pool.
We spent most of the time at the pool, because... Swimming on the beach is not very comfortable. But I think that we are lucky, because... we were alone there. Completely alone, there were only 5 people in the hotel, together with us, and we saw other people a couple of times. It was gorgeous, chilling in the pool with the coolest views of other islands and watching the birds fly from tree to tree.

Absolutely a tropical paradise - with a couple of exceptions. The customer service is amazing and first rate service as soon as you arrive. The snorkeling trip with Mark was the best thing we did in our month in Thailand and I highly recommend it! The cabanas are very comfortable; although the mattress is rock hard. Fresh seafood is delicious! In hindsight, I would have just rented a garden view instead of the sea view for the cost since all of them are just steps from the beach and not worth the extra cost for the sea view. I do have a couple of recommendations though: STOP BURNING TRASH!!! This is completely unacceptable and the noxious fumes you are creating is poisoning your guests and the environment. Unfortunately, all the resorts on this island do this archaic practice and the smell is unbearable. There is also a large unregulated garbage dump along the trail to the other side of the island that needs to be cleaned up. Second recommendation is for the resort to use biodegradable cardboard straws. There is no place for plastic in a paradise like this. Lastly, stop anchoring the boats in the very sensitive sea grass and reefs. If you want to protect this island, these practices must stop immediately. I would have gladly of paid extra for my stay if I knew it went towards preserving this unique and beautiful location. With all this being said, it is a breathtaking (no pun intended with the burning trash) experience and far less tourists than on other islands.
Just wonderful. Outstandingly beautiful location. We loved: The welcome from our longtail and help from the staff to take our luggage to shore. Free kayaks and snorkel gear...and water! Spacious bathrooms Interesting wildlife including tucans...hermit crabs...lizards Dive man!!! Took our 11 year old for first dive Fabulous chef...utterly wonderful food.

Only a short walk from Mookies to Farang Beach, a truly tropical paradise....The bungalows at Mookies were excellent, clean and very comfortable beds. The fridge is a very nice touch. The food was quick and fast and very tasty. Of course you have other restaurants nearby if you can possibly tire of Wan and her crews offering. Nick her husband was always ready to give some advice and have a good story to share. All in all, good prices for both bungalows and food and drink.
We had an amazing stay at Mook Montra in Ko Muk. Kritt messaged us on WhatsApp the day we were arriving to see if we needed any help with anything and they helped us organising a longtail from the jetty on the mainland to the island for 600THB. When we arrived on the island we were greeted by the super friendly staff member (I think his name was Go) who drove us to the hotel. He explained where everything was whilst driving us around which was super helpful and he was an absolute champion during our whole stay, always willing to help us if we had any questions. The room itself, we booked the Seaview Cottage, was really nice. Quite spacious, clean and a very comfy bed with aircon. There was a little balcony with a nice bench and a table at the front which was perfect to have your breakfast in the morning or a drink in the afternoon. The property is beautiful with a lot of greenery and all the different cottages. We'd highly recommend Mook Mantra if you're budget is a bit more limited as you'd still get the luxurious vibe for this price. One thing that would've been nice to have in the room is a water kettle to make some tea or coffee in the morning.
