Koh Mak Coco Cape Resort
Atmospheric location, idle staff

What we say: 
You're definitely paying premium rates at the picturesque CocoCape Resort. The cheapest accommodation starts at 1000B for a basic bamboo bungalow with shared bathroom, and the prices rise from there on in, so if you're looking for a bargain this isn't the place to find it. However, even the simplest accommodation has a lovely natural feel; the basic rooms look out to sea through mangroves, while more upmarket options surround a manufactured sea water lagoon teeming with colourful sea fish. Some of the premium-rate rooms are hidden inside large boats, and have full amenities, but not TVs. Other rooms are built into the hillside with curvy balconies overlooking the gorgeous new pool. All of the rooms are themed and are individually priced, so if you want to stay here, the best idea is to check out the options on the website and book ahead -- the prices below are a general guide only. The more expensive rooms are suitable for families and groups. There's a huge wooden pier which is great for sunbathing as well as getting a little closer to the corals, and the new swimming pool is fabulous, with snazzy fountains and small slides it looks the business. If you're looking for uninterrupted seclusion this could be the place, but bear in mind it's a secluded spot and therefore not the best place from which to explore the island. That said, if you're a big fan of beach time and lounging by the pool, this may be ideal.

Overwater Budget Bungalow
It's always nice to find an inexpensive room or bungalow in a pretty flash resort. Particularly when it is built over the ocean like our Baan Fa Sai bunglow, one up from the backpacker outside bathroom bungalows. At 1350 (high season, not peak) in such a nice place with good facilities including a killler pool, a real nice pier to snorkel from (the best coral I've seen on mainland Mak) and including free pier transfers and okay breakfasts, not bad value at all. Old time backpackers would have a deja vu moment with our bungalow (except for the over-water position and hot shower) - basically a bamboo thatch box just big enough for a king sized bed (hard mattress, nice pillow, good net) and 2 people's gear. Big bi-fold doors give indoor/outdoor effect, open out panoramic view over Mak's north west bay. Nice veranda and hammock out there. Good lights, quiet fan. Unexpectedly spacious polished wood dressing room with basin and flush toilet - separate tiled bathroom with hot water. Serviced daily. CocoCape has a big variety of accommodation. Some very modern resort type rooms, traditional Thai type cabanas arranged around a big lagoon, bungalows high on stilts on the steep hillside and quite a few old hulks on the hillside or around the lagoon - some had been converted into accommodation, others untouched. Every type of accommodation seemed to have views - many elevated. The restaurant area is a short distance back from the shore with nice views plus an extra absolute waterside seating area. Style is more traditional Thai flashpacker than ultra modern western style resort. Prices were maybe 20% higher than typical budget places, food pretty good, service fine. There is a real good budget restaurant about 7 minutes walk away - 3 minutes up the steepish exit road, turn left and after a short distance, turn right - walk half way down the hill. This place had a handful of expat-type people dining each night, always a good sign and a good general store where you grabbed your dinner drinks from the fridge. Another 4 minutes gets you to another 3 restaurants on the main southern beach road near Maka Thani pier.

Great Spot and nice staff
I stayed there in the cheapest bungalow built with stilt in mangroves with shared bathroom. The view is great but a little smelly. At night, the high tide brings sea water just under my room. It's a wild experience. Great, helpful, friendly staffs. It's a fantastic resort with various kinds of rooms. I like it. Recommend.

not that nice
we stayed at the coco cape for one night in a middle range priced room (2500 Baht). Did not like it for various reasons. Staff very unfriendly and unhelpful, check-out time 9.30, one of the beaches next to the resort is very, very dirty. Bar seems to close at 8.30. After one night we went to another resort (lazy days) where we had a nice stay.

enjoyable experience
We enjoyed our 5 day stay here. The empty beach just west was wonderful. The food was fantastic, although quite expensive. Skip the breakfast and walk to the other side of the island instead. We found the staff helpful and nice, although language barrier was sometimes a problem. Recommended!

Great staff, horrid mosquitos
My experiences of this resort echo some of the comments above but overall my impression was very different. I stayed there alone, therefore the room prices were rather high. I agree about lack of space in the cheap rooms. The vegetation and the pool also attract mosquitos, and in common with most of koh Mak, the beaches have sand flies. However, the staff could not have been more friendly. Even had a party for me on my last night, and gave me gifts when I left. The location is very pleasant. As a falang I found some of the food too spicy, so you can't please everyone. Overall the food was excellent. I did not find the food overpriced.

Great spot, bad food
Ok so yes it expensive and we stayed in the cheap room, which i wouldnt recommend as not enough room to swing a dead sea parrot, but for sheer location it cannot be beat. You have your own private beach around the corner,your own private wharf with canopy and luxury deck chairs to sit and watch sunrise/set at your leisure and the restuarant area is right on the beach and,again a wet dream, BUT, the food is waaay overpriced and waaaay to falang tasting for us. Better to take a trek into town for cheaper eats and alcohol. So if its that crazy, romantic, island postcard thing you want then splurge on the 1200 or 800 baht rooms and enjoy. If you get tempted to stay on Ko rayang, a small island resort just opened opposite ko maak they go for the experience as the bungalows are great, but once again bad, overpriced, falang food.
