We chose this place without knowing much about the island of ko mak. The hotel is very pleasant, green environment, the huts are pretty and clean, the swimming pool is a big plus and pleasant. The only concern is that you have to rent a scooter to get around, which was done through the hotel.
We stayed on February 17, 2025 in Sunset Bungalow No. 6
The friendly staff greeted us, we left our things at the reception and went for a walk along the beach, since it was still too early to check in.
The beach amazed us with its beauty, but the entrance to the water was a bit rocky.
We took a kayak and swam near the shore, snorkeled and it was time to check in.
The bungalow had a pleasant fresh clean aroma, flowers were laid out on the bed and welcome drinks were waiting for us.
The view was incredibly beautiful, I am attaching a photo. There were drinks and snacks in the room, which is very convenient, since it is quite scary to walk to the shops at night.
I especially liked the kitchen and the bar, the cocktails were quite well prepared.
For breakfast, we were given a questionnaire to fill out where we could indicate our food preferences. The breakfast was incredibly delicious, you will understand everything from the photos)
This hotel has touched our hearts, we will definitely come back again.
The resort has a stunning outlook onto the sea, great, but small pool, great rooms, some with roof terraces & is very relaxed. The restaurant's food is superbly presented, however unfortunately, the service is poor and let it down. Both times we dined there we had to go and find our own menus, noone brought them to us. The food took a long time to come and, though it was well-presented, some of it was cold. They forgot my wife's main dish and despite enquiring about it twice with a waitress who didn't seem to speak English and just giggled and walked off, it never arrived. This was really disappointing and marred our stay which would have otherwise been very relaxing. After we complain they did eventually apologise and discounted out bill by one dish but it wasn't great. The resort can arrange golf buggy hire for you to tour the island for 800 THB for 5 hours (that and 10 hours only options - no shorter time) which is worth doing. Also nice to walk out on the sand when the tide goes all the way out

The hotel was a Covid casualty and reopened under new ownership in Dec 23. Rooms have all been refurbished and in Feb 24 they were just about to open the bar/restaurant again. We found Ko Mak to be very busy and expensive when looking for accommodation. The price of around 1400 THB per night was higher than we usually pay but seemed one of the cheapest in the main village. Upon arrival we were met by Reuben one of the owners and he told us the history of the place. He and Tatiana who helps run the guest house are US/European heritage so obviously speak perfect English, plus French I believe. Our room was one of 4 set around a fairly stagnant river, cottage style, very large with ac, fans, fridge and a patio with chairs and hammock alongside the river. The bed was large and comfy with crisp clean sheets but the mosquito net was a little too small to cover it so we ended up using our own. The bathroom was large with separate shower/wet room so the whole floor didn’t flood. We never managed to get hot water but that wasn’t a problem in the heat of February. The location is excellent, minutes walk to bars and restaurants and a nice beach but quiet too. The rooms are set amidst woodland so there’s a constant soundtrack of birdsong which adds to the peaceful ambience. Being situated next to a river is obviously going to result in a lot of mosquitos and that’s one area I think they need to improve on. There was a small sachet of repellent provided but that wouldn’t be enough for one person for one day. As previously mentioned the mosquito net was a little small for the bed and there were a lot of mosquitos in the bathroom. I asked one of the staff if they had an insecticide spray but he said they didn’t so I had to buy one. I understand not everyone agrees with chemical insect sprays and prefer a natural approach but maybe the hotel could hold a stock of spray for guests who request it. Maybe also a plug in device would be useful too. In summary, its a well run place with nice rooms in a good location. It’s early days but the signs are this will become a really nice place to stay when initial teething problems are overcome.
We had a great stay at Makathanee! We splurged and had a beach view bungalow … which was amazing! The room was spacious, the bed was soft and comfy, the view was amazing and the sound of the surf was loud. The resort grounds are pretty and well maintained. We never went to the pool but walked by and nobody was there. The chairs on the grass by the beach were always full. The beach was clean and inviting and the water was warm. Good things: nice (10/10) staff, good breakfast, nice restaurant on the roof and good location. We had a few meals nearby on the street and rented a bike to explore the island. We also enjoyed the restaurants and bars on the beach nearby. You are not isolated at this resort. Not so good things: the only thing we didn’t like was the old, broken chairs on our patio and on the grass. Not that important- but something they could plan to replace. Great location, peaceful but not boring, great facility

A really nice place, a 3 star hotel but better than that in many ways. For example the staff - and particularly Noi in the reception - were outstanding! Noi helped us with renting motorbikes (an old charming Honda Prestige!), arranging boat tickets, she gave us tips on good restaurants etc. Always with a big smile on her face, she was the cutest you can imagine. The hotel was clean, quiet and we had a stunning ocean view from our balcony, really nice. Ok, the breakfast was small, but still...it is not the Hilton and it still was fresh and you can also order bacon and egg. The lunch and dinner menu was smaller but also fine. The pool was taken care of every day, they have an infinity pool and you have the best of views from there... One day the lock did not work to our room, and Noi came to our help immediately. “Don’t worry! I will stay here outside your door until the janitor fixes the lock!”. We went outside to our motorbikes and before leaving Noi came running. - It has been mended, everything is ok again, have a nice day! Noi was smiling from the minute we entered the hotel and until standing outside waving goodbye when we left 4 days later. We will never forget her!
An incredible stay at Mira Montra from start to finish. We were so impressed by the service, including pick up from the boat (which we didn't even explain when we were due to arrive), the free kayaks/paddle boards, the complimentary afternoon tea, quality of the rooms and the caring nature of the staff. They helped to arrange and drop us off at our next boat, which made it much less stressful.
We really enjoyed the breakfast. The view was to die for, and the resort itself was a close bike ride to the other bars/restaurants. We can not comment about the lunch or dinner in the hotel as we ate elsewhere and also rented a bike from down the road.
I'm so glad we made this trip and chose to stay here. I would definitely recommend!
Little Moon Villa is a great place to go. It's intimate and after a few days you know all the faces of the staff and everyone is extremely friendly. Every day the houses are cleaned up, new towels, beds are made. Choice at breakfast is really delicious, they also have croissants or other such things that you can order extra (for a small fee). We rented the scooter from the hotel every day to make trips around the island. At the end of the afternoon we came back to the hotel for diner. The food is very tasty! I could easily stay here for 3 weeks. The houses are clean, the bed is very good. The view when you wake up in the morning is amazing and gives so much peace. We were woken up very early every morning by the light because the upper part of the glass has no curtains. We didn't find this a problem at all because you wake up in a very natural way. It was actually very nice! Because the resort is still so new, it still has some small things that need to be finished. You can also see that here and there in the houses. Because it is such a small island, we have mainly been on an adventure to other places. We have not been on the beach at the hotel because the type of beach is not the most beautiful on the island. But you are already at other beautiful beaches with 7min scooter. It is simply a great beautiful place, Jill who helped us every day was really sweet. If we ever come back I only want to go to this place on koh mak!!
