Absolutely beautiful resort! Out room was a short stroll away from the bar and restaurant but this meant it was lovely and quiet and the stroll through the trees to bed was beautiful in the evening. The rooms were clean and bathroom was beautiful, like showering in a rainforest. The bar and restaurant looks out over the beautiful sea, such a relaxed atmosphere, I wanted to stay forever! Staff were friendly, food and drinks were excellent value. Would love to return again in the future. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

“Remote resort”

The good - lovely spot by the sea. Sunbeds overlooking the bay, two swimming pools behind. Good food for a resort imo at the beach restaurant. Lovely spot to watch the sun go down.

The good - lovely spot by the sea. Sunbeds overlooking the bay, two swimming pools behind. Good food for a resort imo at the beach restaurant. Lovely spot to watch the sun go down. We had garden villa which was clean and private. Staff were very nice imo. Worth noting that the resort is very remote and there’s no tuktuks running around the so you’ll need a scooter if you want to go anywhere. (If you want to dip your feet above knee in the water you can walk to next door resorts and gorgeous beach nearby but that’s pretty much it). The resort also knows that it’s remote and it shows in the prices.. just feels like an unnecessary kick in the teeth tbh to price beers at ~2x compared to anywhere else. Happy hour worse than other places etc. But guess you’ll pay for the spot. Almost gave it 4* but hand on heart I’d look for other places to stay and you can visit the deck bar for drink in the evening if you want or so.. three and out for me

Our stay at the Kho Kood Resort in Koh Kood, Thailand, was a mixed experience that combined a beautiful natural setting with some noticeable shortcomings. First impressions weren’t particularly encouraging. The resort entrance felt quite depressing, with a rough gravel track leading in and land on either side strewn with litter and the ruins of abandoned buildings. It didn’t inspire much confidence about our choice when we first arrived. Once inside the main area, however, the atmosphere improved significantly. The bar, pool, and restaurant area are set in a genuinely beautiful location overlooking the water. It’s an especially nice spot for sunset, with clear water and a relaxed coastal view that makes it easy to unwind. Unfortunately, the service often felt slow, and it rarely seemed like there were enough staff on hand. Small details highlighted this — for example, when ordering a Coke, it arrived as a can without a glass or ice, and we had to request those separately. Similarly, pool towels weren’t restocked regularly, so when they ran out you had to go and ask for one. We stayed in a deluxe villa, which felt somewhat tired and in need of refurbishment. The main door being secured with a padlock gave the accommodation a slightly basic feel rather than the more comfortable resort atmosphere we were expecting. The beds were also very hard, although the staff did provide a mattress topper when we asked, which helped somewhat — even though one side of it was stained. Breakfast was average and did the job, but nothing stood out as particularly memorable. One positive highlight was renting a motorcycle through the hotel. It was good value and really the best way to explore Koh Kood. The island itself is fantastic, with some beautiful beaches, plenty of places to eat, and several beach bars that are perfect for watching the sunset. The resort’s location works well as a base for exploring these spots by motorcycle or taxi. Overall, we did have a good experience at Kho Kood Resort thanks to the setting and the island itself. However, the property feels like it has a lot of room for improvement, particularly in terms of maintenance, staffing levels, and attention to small service details.
