the hotel room is beautiful and is very clean. people are really friendly and make that you have a great stay. the swimming pool area is nice and big but you can also choose to ly at the beach.

hotel did not come with breakfast. However, they have a restaurant where you can order sandwiches and yogurt. if you like more traditional breakfast, there is a bakery across the street.

This was an amazing stay, I was there for nearly a month and because it's low season, I was the only guest most of that time. At first I was worried, but it worked out beautifully. The staff treated me like family, I got into a good routine with my work and being social at the cafe and the bar, the coffee is really good and the food was awesome too. I appreciated that they only had glass water bottles that were refilled and that their menu was based on what was available so that there wasn't wastage. The pool was awesome and also the hammock outside my room. They have a few dogs that were very friendly too. I can't express how much this felt like home during my stay and in particular Pawn and Arthur went out of their way to see that I had a most amazing time, all the staff were great and I enjoyed being able to speak Khmer with the Cambodian team members. I absolutely loved it and will be visiting again!

Due to the low season a few things changed along the way, I understand that it was necessary and all was okay once I adapted. Most nights the bar music was super loud, even when there weren't any guests, I would have enjoyed it more with quieter music where I could enjoy dinner and a drink with a nice atmosphere.

This is a lovely, new, beautiful hotel, with great staff. The location is great, on its own bit of beach, and has nice sun loungers. the pool is very nice, large and clean. Bed was comfy (which is rare in Thailand!) and rooms are new and really nice. Balcony is also lovely. Staff are really excellent and can't do enough for you. They will book you boats, etc, anything you want. location is very good - right by anything you need, strips of restaurants, a bakery, cafes, etc. It has its own little minimal and also cafe and beach bar/restaurant on site where they have live music. Everything is extremely clean. I would stay here again as its almost crtainly the best hotel on the island - and definitely recommend it!

The beach restaurant is v.expensive, which is a shame as I hear the food and cocktails there are really good, but we didn't eat there due to price. Still loads of alternatives nearby. They had live music one night & let some drunk English tourist up on stage to try to sing for hours, who was the worst singer - and kept interupting the real singer. It was painful. Everyone was leaving but no-one stopped him, I just think maybe monitor the stage a bit more so that we are not all sitting there in pain from tourists attempting bad karaoke for hours. Real local guitarist singer was great! That is probably not a common occurance though. 🤣

Very luxurious guesthouse right on the beach. Stayed for five nights as part of our honeymoon and liked every second of it.

On day one we had an issue, that was solved professionally within 30min. For the rest it was feeling at home. Very, very friendly crew, immaculately clean, and ... just a good place to be. We returned for some more days after our first stay. If you go to the restaurant, try the bouillabaisse. The "sandwiches" at the cafe are huge and yummy.

When booking we thought it was a bit expensive, but I think that is unavoidable if you want to offer service and quality.

This is a great place to stay on Koh Mak. It's got a lovely pool and beach area, as well as a good cafe during the day and restaurant at night. The staff are super friendly and there are lots of restaurants around. They can also help hire a golf buggy if you're not confident on a scooter, to see different parts of the island.

It was a bit unclear whether breakfast was included or not - which it is not. We'd also read that the hotel has free bicycle hire. They did have two bikes out the front but we were told they weren't in good enough condition to be used, which was a shame. You can also hear some music until quite late, but it didn't bother us much.

Everything was perfect, the room, the pool and the location. This is a small hotel with only 11 rooms located in a nice beach where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

They should serve breakfast, I don't understand why they don't when they have good food in the restaurant as well in the sandwich bar. Not only they don't serve breakfast but they only open the restaurant in the evening and the sandwich bar at 09 am so if you are a early bird and want something to eat you must find another place to do it

Almost everything. Free water was a bonus. The restaurant food was excellent as was the service. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect.

It's not that we didn't like it but there were not enough sunbeds around the pool or on the beach for everyone staying at the resort. We didn't want to lie down on the beach because of the sandflies.

Great location and the most comfortable bed with an excellent mattress.

People smoking on the adjoining balcony. Not the fault of the hotel but very close proximity and cigarette smoke from next door rooms come wafting in so you have to keep the balcony door shut which is a shame.

Big thank you for the great time we had. The design of the by the sea hotell was really nice. You could see how much love and thoughts went into it . Lot s of beautiful details We loved the stuff, the pool and beach area. The service in the restaurant was really great. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. The people there made it special. The food was good and the drinks as well.

we had nothing to complain: that are just two points which would make it a 10 for me. I would have liked to second bed I our room to be an real bed instead of a couch bed thing. And as a family with a small child, what I miss everywhere in Thailand are the child details in the room. . Like something to step on, so they can brush their teeth alone or wash their hands.
