Koh Maak Resort

Beautiful isolated location, a little overpriced

What we say: 3.5 stars

A large range of bungalow varieties are on offer at Koh Mak Resort. Stretching along a 2000 metre expanse of powdery sand and facing out over a shallow bay of turquoise water, the private beach is truly picturesque. There's perhaps 60 rooms here, but repeat visitors will find that the prices have jumped up somewhat, with the majority of the rooms now upgraded to air-con. It can take a good 10 minute walk to get from your bungalow to the pool or restaurant, depending where you're located. The huge positive to come from that is the privacy and seclusion that each hut has.Over the past few years the resort has been extensively renovated and the latest additions are 10 beach villas and half a dozen or so two floor mini homes, complemented by an new swimming pool.Tastefully built with modern materials they are a sign of the way the island is headed, particularly at a starting price of 3,000B/night in the low season! Although beautiful on the eye, closer examination of the rooms highlights the fact that the bathroom is outdoors, with a shower curtain as a wall! Perhaps stunning for a midnight shower in the moonlight, but not so pleasant when the mosquitoes come to visit during sunrise and sunset. For 5,000 a night you'd expect a sealed bathroom. Activities include kayak rental, diving or snorkelling boat trips, while a restaurant, bar and internet shop provide off-the-beach diversions. The resort operates a speed boat service to and from the island (450B one way) which runs from their private pier.
