Great place. An expansive 4 star resort perched right on a quiet beach, hidden away at the top of the island. Huge pool, 50m+ length, good smorgasbord breakfast, with a couple of shops and motorbike rentals directly outside reception. We had room 3202, level 1, large and a great balcony with views of the sea and Koh Nam (a tiny island you can walk to via a thin strip of sand). The staff were very polite and accommodating. We spent 5 days there: it’s easy to spend your entire stay at the resort - explore Koh Nam, and the little cafe/bar right beside the sand strip to Koh Nam, around 50m from the resort itself. Fabulous beaches, although the locals aren’t too worried about collecting rubbish washed up on otherwise pristine beaches. Also a great waterfall, Wang Sai, a 10 min stroll from the hotel reception: easy to get to (just wear trainers).

Internet was hit and miss, but I think this is Thailand, not really the fault of the hotel.

Great beach resort with nice rooms and good breakfast options! Also the pool nearby the beach was nice

Pool next to my room was never clean which meant i needed to go to the far away pool Staff were rude, aggressive and hotel policy is so strict which didn’t make the stay super comfortable

The swimming pools are great, the restaurant is perfect. I had a few dishes, the food is really good. The staff at the restaurant is SO nice! I have to mention Nana with her good English and amazing hospitality. If you walk up to Koh Ma and go in the water on your left, there's a snorkel paradise. But you have to swim at least 30 meters from shore. It won't disappoint! There's Murenes, Stingrays and thousands of other fishes. The corals are very big and most of all very alive!

My room was in the back, facing the second pool. There was no short cut to the beach. There were a lot of big red ants covering my balcony but the staff was very quick and made them go away (spraycan)

Staff was kind. The pools were great. The breakfast was really nice. The beach is a short walk from the property and is nice for a good view but less so for swimming.

The rooms have a shower that is positioned so that almost wherever you are in the room you can see the person using it, and the door is see through. If you are in a room with your child or if your two older children are sharing a room together it obliges one to step out as to not see the other in the shower. It's an architectural mistake that could be fixed by making the shower door non see through. Also the gym room is in need of improvement with better equipment.

We loved the location, the layout of the resort with it's two pools. We loved the gifts we received for Christmas and new year on our made up beds. Beds were comfortable and room was aesthetic. The included breakfast was varied and ample. Spectacular view of koh mae from the restaurant. A very pleasurable 10 days. We would definitely come back.

No water pressure in the shower and the water temperature varies between hot and cold. Restaurant is terrible and overpriced. They do not have s clue about cooking. Thankfully there are various restaurants in the vicinity. They did have a decent wine. The soundproofing isn't great. We were lucky to have quite neighbours until the final night when we realized this.

All the facilities were really great. Nice and secluded.

Would be great to have beach towels by the pool so you could get a new one when you needed. Not enough space in the rooms to dry them. Also the room was quite a walk away from the restaurant.

The room was quite big and very comfortable. Pool was huge and clean. The beach was very beautiful and just a few minutes away from the room. Breakfast was very good and staff very friendly.

I didn’t like that at check out I was accused that I have taken slippers from room. I told them that I walked with them to the beach, they got wet, and threw them out, coming to the room barefoot. Then I used another pair I had in the room. Those were fabric slippers that I always deposit in a trash bin after I use them in every hotel. In this hotel they are considered a value and I was forced to pay 200 baht. Well, this just did it… never again in Maehaad beach hotel! Oh, zillions of mosquitoes, so buy sprays and plug ins as the hotel doesn’t provide with any. Pool view rooms most of the day are in direct sunlight, so you have to stay indoors

We loved the food at the restaurant. We tried the pastas and were both very impressed with the authentic sauces made by the chef. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. Beautiful view of the small island from the restaurant. The main pool is huge and was great to swim in. There is a second smaller pool with a swim up bar but it wasn’t staffed - I’m guessing it is not staffed during peak season. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when we needed help booking ferry tickets and transfers. Location is lovely. It’s a quiet part of the island with a few other resorts. There’s some convenience stores outside but not much else, so it’s really just a quiet place to stay if you need to relax. Laundry service was excellent and efficient.

A haven of verdant luxury, cooling waterfalls and the largest swimming pool on the island (as far as I know), Maehaad Resort is a retreat par excellence. The day starts with a five-star breakfast of Asian and Western staples, fresh fruit and good strong coffee. The room was on the top floor (no lift, though), quiet and looking over tall trees and a hillside. Service is excellent from check-in to departure, rooms cleaned daily, huge pool towels provided (do try the smaller but more secluded and shady pool at the back as well as the larger beach side area); umbrellas in the room a nice touch. Room service is available. The famously photogenic Koh Ma beach is 2 minutes walk from the restaurant, leave your shoes behind for an early morning walk on the sand. A serene getaway, excellent value.

The pools were amazing, some of the best we have seen during our vacation. Breakfast was really good, a lot of choice and plenty of healthy options as well. The hotel is close to a beautiful beach and the island of Koh Ma.

The pool bar was closed, and because of that the smaller pool felt deserted. The hotel is a bit isolated, especially during low season. All the restaurants in the immediate surrounds were closed so a motorbike or car rental is a necessity.
