Koh Jum Hotels with Pools

We had a villa with a pool and sea view, which is simply charming, partly because the villa is less than 20 meters from the sea. There you will find a very small but nice place with 2 loungers that belong to the villa. You see too well as no people at the sea, just fantastic. The island is still very natural. We have rarely seen such a clean beach in Thailand as here. The employees of the hotel are very, very friendly and accommodating, I would say almost like a family. The dinner is the best we have eaten in Thailand. We are simply delighted and would come back at any time. An absolute recommendation!

... is right here! Luckily we had booked our shuttle from Phuket and a boat with 12go; because our plane from Singapore was two hours late, so we missed the public ferry and they organized our own long tail. Tiger also travels to the island from Phuket by speedboat. Once arrived we had a bungalow in the small, family complex directly on the sea. A dream! The bungalow was very well equipped (fridge, minibar, hair dryer, soap, shower gel, mosquito repellent, water shoes...). There were enough folding deck chairs, so we made ourselves comfortable on the terrace. The beach section is small. And when you come here, you know about the tides. So no reason for negative reviews! During low tide you can use the pool, go for a relaxing massage, read, play, tour the island, rent a scooter... Breakfast can be chosen from a menu. Egg dishes, yoghurt, fruit, toast, soup... The á la carte dinner is cooked by ”Mama” in the small kitchen. Very tasty and beautifully prepared. Alternatives can only be reached by scooter. We didn't think it was necessary. The staff is very nice and supports all projects! And then there are 4 dogs. The two Goldies are really cute! Not only do they get into the water, grab rocks instead of sticks and swing along on the surfboard, but they also chase the monkeys away! After 5 days we drove to Koh Lanta. It was too ”big” for us there, so we went to Koh Ngai 😉

We stayed at the Koh Jum Resort for 5 days and it was a very pleasurable stay. We stayed in a lovely beach front villa which I would say was more like a round tree house and it was lovely. It was like living in the wilderness but right on the beach. It was very clean and our room was made up daily. The manger and his team couldn’t do enough for us, so helpful and friendly. We hired a motor bike from the resort for a few days to take look around the island and they weren’t even bothered we hadn’t paid for it. We would highly recommend this resort so it’s a 5 ⭐️ from us

Let me start by saying that this place is amazing. Beautiful beach, nice bungalows and a beautiful sunset to see. So why I still rate this as a terrible experience for me? I have severely allergic reactions to shellfish, so bad that cross contamination is also deadly for me. A good friend of me who is Thai wrote that on my phone and everywhere I went in Thailand I’ve showed it and everywhere, for more then 2 weeks, everything went well. Till my first evening here. As usual I showed them the writing and they said they understood. But instinctively I knew they didn’t. When my vegetarian pad Thai came my friend again asked the waitress, are you sure this is safe for her to eat. Yes.. was the answer. Till my first bite. My throat immediately swollen up and I ended up in the ER. Next day I talked to the manager and tried to explain again how important it is to use clean gear and stuff. He said he would talk to the kitchen and let them know. I only have breakfast at the hotel so today, 3 days later, I have a scrambled egg (there is not much more for me to eat here) and when I finished I noticed that breathing gets heavier and throat gets swollen again. While I was puking at the toilet, they just stood there and watched. After using my epipen no one even comes to check if they can do anything. It’s a beautiful place, but just don’t go there if you have allergies that are so serious or when you don’t speak Thai.
