The Mak Trat

Bellissimo resort di design con le camere sparse per un giardino in discesa che finisce sulla spiaggia sempre molto ventosa, affidato a un personale che non parla inglese ma comunica con whatsapp e Google translator, non ci ha capito quando abbiamo chiesto di prenderci i bagagli per la partenza, ce li siamo dovuti portare in salita da soli, non capiva quando chiedevamo informazioni, quando ordinavamo del cibo, insomma manca un responsabile che coordini. La colazione è buona ma c’è poco personale e il sevizio é scarso.

One of the best hotels out there, and I have visited many around the world. Certainly not everything is perfect, but it fully deserves the 5 stars. We have just stayed there for five nights and leave you a sincere and objective opinion. Advantages: ABSOLUTE CALM associated with the charm of this Resort. The design of the hotel is fantastic, everything is beautiful and both the construction and the decoration are great. The infinity pool has a breathtaking view, and the small villas are magnificent and very comfortable. I highly recommend getting one with a roof terrace, it's great. The prices at the hotel seem reasonable to me, more expensive than outside without being prohibitive (ex: 200 baht for a pad Thai). The food is also very good, including the pastries. Note that the hotel offers a taxi service at 50 baht per person, scooters 400 baht per day (250 on average outside) and golf carts at 800 baht for 5 hours. Everything is more expensive than outside but compared to Europe it is very inexpensive. Cons: The location of the hotel is a bit out of the way, but with a scooter it only takes a few minutes to go to the beautiful beaches. Speaking of the beach, that of the hotel is not the best on the island for swimming but the look is very beautiful and when the conditions are met swimming remains pleasant. Then there is the service. The staff is really friendly but these young people lack experience. In addition, many speak poor English which sometimes causes misunderstandings. But they are so nice that in the end it is not so serious, you have to know how to be tolerant, with time things will improve. In short, I would stay there again!
