I should have known from the lack of response to my internet enquiry, emails, and text messages that service would be lacking. The staff there are charming and willing to please but management need to get their act together and provide the basic level of service that one would expect from a three star resort. I could go on with... More

I will review Ko Mak and the Resort, but my vote just stands for the accomodation itself. First of all: Ko Mak. A remote place just accessible by speedboat for 450THB. The ride takes 45-50 minutes and is ok. The beaches vary but are quite nice (though water could be clearer). The magic of this place is the tranquil atmosphere.... More

We read this was a 5 star resort,so expected something really good. The restaurant served good food, but the restaurant itself could use some TLC,for a 5 star I expect a table cloth..no? The room looked nice at first, but the deckchairs were very dirty, as a matter, you could see the print of the previous customers on the fabric.... More

Thanks to Fai who greeted us and gave all the information about the resort very quickly. We had a lovely time and I miss it still. Ok it is in need of some love and... More

Location, Location! This more than makes up for a good, basic resort. If you want 5 star find a Sheraton. If you want a great beach, friendly staff who hug you when you depart, a great restaurant with more than adequate meal choices and a beach bar with great staff again, and a Happy Captain for fishing or just to...

Nice resort and good food BBQ at the beach bar. Nice place but the beach is a bit dirty but they clean every morning. You can rent a motorbike for the day at a cheap price. The staff was very kind, above all, the bar tender who come from Cambodia (If you have a chance to visit cambodia, you'll see... More

Basic but all you need with a friendly smile! Beach bar was a great place to relax with two for one cocktails and good BBQ served nightly. Good breakfast & restaurant was reasonable at other times. Rooms were simple & would be cleaned if you asked. Staff were all very friendly & helpful. Would be a great place for kids.... More

At the time of writing this review Ao Kao is rated 9 out of 14 hotels on this beautiful island. All I can say is that the eight that are 'better' must be fantastic...because it really is difficulty to find fault with Ao Kao White Sand Resort. [Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdewZdTDwro ] Of course there always will be those who look... More

Situated on the most beautiful beach of Ko Mak. Thai and Cambodian staff was absolutely superb and most friendly. Different types of bungalows. Ours, next to main entrance, was simple but clean, with airco and hot shower. Food was delicious. Breakfast more than okay, for what you get in Thailand. Cocktails all day 2=1 at nice little beach bar. I've... More

We were originally tempted to stay in this resort, it has got the best location with the longest sandy beach on the island, but in the end we were glad we didnt, resort is one of the "posh" ones on the island, chosen mostly by families with kids or groups for partying, we like kids and partying, but not on...
