• A stone's throw to the beach

  We stayed on Krada for a full 7 days this past Novemeber at the Kradan Beach Resort and found it to be just great. Sure the bungalows are orange, and sure they planted some plumeria out front (not a native plant and highly illegal on national park land), but for the atmosphere (read:the beach), this place works on every level. Staff is kind and will bargain with you (for the length of our stay, we paid far less than the rack rate during high season). And while the food in the little cafe was only ok, Wally's place (Paradise Lost) is only about a 10 minute walk through the woods. There were some major land disputes going on while we were there, so try to check in to the current situation as much as possible to avoid any hassle.

• Kradan Beach Resort

  Kradan Beach Resort is a perfect respite from the madding crowds, facing a beach that boasts a coral reef (a five-minute swim from the shore) with abundant clownfish, parrotfish, giant clams, etc. We took a non-air-con room for 950 baht in a detached bungalow overlooking the beach which provided twin beds with all the basic facilities. The staff were very friendly and service at the restaurant was good. We were lucky to have made this resort our choice to stay in and we felt it far superior to all other accommodation on the island we looked at(although we did not inspect two upmarket resorts). We were pleasantly surprised to find no charge to borrow a kayak or for snorkling kit, or even for a torch to guide us back from a trip to the other side of the island to catch a sunset (highly-recommended, as are the sunrises on the resort side). In short, we wished we had more time to chill out here. The staff (the owner's wife/manager - Waew, and boat captain, Pah) were extremely helpful.

• A few nights on Kradan

  Spent 4 nights at kradan paradise late March 2007. Not so bad bungalows, but furniture is derelict but sheets were clean. not beautiful but staff charming and food good. remember that that beautiful beach disappears completely at low tide and there is no swimming. It looks like someone pulled the plug on the sea the water pulls out so far... The travel sites and brochures don't tell you that! Nice view over to other islands and karst formations. Kradan is a beautiful island. Lots of walks and jungle wildlife.

• not a bad place

  every guide book seems to discourage you to stay here. however, this place is not that bad. yes, you would say many 'could be'....could be better, could be cheaper, could be more atmospheric, could be cooler(beer)....but the rooms are relatively clean, all staff are nice and at least you can sleep comfortable(the mattress was nice). if you hate here, now there is another option inland. it's a little cheaper and more charming(lost paradise resort-look at the sign beside the amari beach club). anyway, i recommend to stay rather than a daytrip or you'll miss the most beautiful moment of this island-completely deserted beach after the crowds have gone and the sunrise.
