À la Koh Kood Resort

We liked: Well-kept establishment. Attentive staff. Proximity to probably the most beautiful beach on Koh Kood. Calm night. We didn't like: The small size of the terrace. Too many opposite. Disappointing view from the room (waste land without vegetation, numerous visible pipes running on the ground and on the walkways). We were hoping to be surrounded by mangroves, but all we got was the smell of mud.

We stayed at A La Koh Kood for 5 nights. The resort is built in a bay over the water, which is very nice, so you can watch the hermit crabs and fish while having breakfast. The room, ours B2, was good, unfortunately it was only cleaned every other day (key handover required). There are motor scooters and a free pick-up service to the main road. Which is good because 2/3 of the road is unpaved and is very risky when it rains or is wet. Breakfast consists of the possibility to choose between 4 sets, otherwise toast, fruit, cornflakes, coffee, tea or water are offered. The restaurant is open for lunch until 2 p.m. and dinner is available from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The menu is very small by Thai standards, the food was ok unfortunately nothing more. The way to the beach is not very far, which invites you to linger. On the opposite side of the bay, there is a ruined resort, Montana, which was never opened because there was no permit for it. All in all, we were unfortunately a bit disappointed, especially with the cuisine, which was a shame. The employees were all very friendly to us.
