Enjoyed our stay
Arrived by water taxi from koh kradan. We booked for 2 nights. Which was perfect. Resort is in on its own, to get to main strip you have to walk round cliff - we went to main strip to eat - more choice and slightly cheaper - but it meant eating early - so could be back to resort before dark - 7pm.

The good: free and easy kayaks and snorkel equipment and incredible location! Like amazingly gorgeous and some great snorkeling right next to the hotel, paradise beach a short kayak down the beach. Plenty of loungers on the beach. One of the cheaper places to stay in Koh Ngai. The bad: it felt a bit...tired. The rooms were kept moderately clean, the pool was in desperate need of a clean up. The breakfast that came with the room was continental and it wasn’t very nice..:all of the food was pretty bad as a matter of fact. Very few vegetarian options as well. Service at the bar and restaurant was ridiculously slow. Better food down on the main beach at other restaurants. It feels like the resort and its staff jsut decided to stop caring. They weren’t rude per say, they just didn’t seem to care at all. Should be noted that the path that connects this hotel with the hotels on the main beach is a rocky, 15 minute walk on a Dyer and sometime slippery path, would not be suitable for those with limited mobility, there are long boats that cbs pick you up at the pier and take you to the main beach.

Location is great, rooms are ok
The location is great if you want to disconnect from everything. Gorgeous beach, great snorkeling and kayaking, also hiking trail, strenuous but great views of the whole island. Restaurant had great food. The only downside was the room...water heater didn't work so cold showers, also AC wasn't great. The rooms are very outdated and a little rundown. The rooms can use an update. Some staff was friendly others ok. Overall, the location makes this place.

Standard room with aircon was not expensive. But furniture is old and 10 years behind it's lifespan. Air condition was loud as diesel engine and we couldn't sleep in such noisy sound comming from its fan. In garden, old destroyed car stay just by the way to swimming pool with salty water and plenty of chlorine in it. For same money, it's worth to stay in some resort on long beach. There are some cheap and much more nice and better looking places with better beach approach. Breakfast was good and wide choice for anyone. Also staff was perfect and nice, well speaking english. Card payment is possible which is not common in this island.

Lovely place!!
Fantastic place to stay! It has its own private pool and beach! Hard to get to if you land on the other side of beach from the boat as this hotel has the pier. There is rocks that need to be climbed to get over if you get dropped of near the other hotels. If this does happen ask anyone to ring the hotel and they will come over and help you carry your bags. Lovely place to stay and the island is gorgeous!! If the sea is rocky be careful as the boat rides there are a eye opener!!

Descent budget room, great location, wonderful sta
Staff and restaurant staff were super welcoming. Breakfast was average, but filling. Our room was on the cheaper end and very in need of upkeep. It was clean, but very dated. We are budget travelers and for the money it was fine. The more upscale rooms looked really nice. The restaurant for dinner was okay, but we are vegetarian so can't speak to everything.

Fabulous place to stay!
Fabulous stay at Koh Ngai Resort. Staff were helpful and friendly from the moment we checked in, to the moment we left. The hotel allow you rent snorkels and sea kayak quipment for free, and they have a fab little area where you can get massages by the beach. It’s only a short walk to the next beach, where there are more restaurants and little bars. Me and my boyfriend had a fab time here and would definitely reccomend it to other couples travelling around Thailand.

Beautiful, Tranquil Resort
Beautiful, tranquil little resort right on the sandy, white beach. Our resort was a bit hidden from the other resorts which left us with our own cute beach. Perfect spot if you’re looking to get away and relax in the peace and quiet. Snorkeling mask & fins, and kayaks are provided for free and can be used right off our beach. The food was okay, but the bar stays open all night. Weather was perfect in mid-November with a few lightning storms at night but nothing to stop you from exploring.

Great resort to relax and enjoy nature
We really enjoyed this resort and would 100% come back! Our boats (from Lanta and going to Libong/Lipe) dropped us off and picked us up RIGHT outside the resort, which was really handy. The staff are all super friendly and I would highly recommend getting a massage. The lady was really good, and you get to listen to the waves crashing the whole time, making it extra relaxing. Our room was clean and spacious. We loved the deck with chairs. The only downside was the wifi didnt reach our rooms, or even the restaurant so any time we needed to do something on our phone, we’d have to stand right in front of reception. We had dinner at the Resort restaurant, which was delicious and reasonably priced. The free breakfast was equally as good. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful. They have many chairs to sit on and the water is crystal clear with many fish, perfect for snorkelling and kayaking. I would say snorkelling in that water was a highlight of the island (though be careful of jellyfish!). The only downside is in order to get to any other beach (or resort/restaurant), you have to walk a 5-10 min trail along rocks and sand. Its beautiful and safe, but if not physically fit, this could be a challenge. Also, bring bug spray for the walk as there are many mosquitos. Overall we love this place and would go back in an instant! The island is great and so small that you feel like you’re escaping the stresses of the “real” world. It’s also kept so natural..a great escape!

Pleasant stay on a tropical island!
Lovely place, beautiful island! Very clean rooms in a superb tropical location. Restaurant and drinks are a little bit pricey for fairly standard fayre but there isn't really any choice unless you walk on a dodgy path to the next beach. Breakfast is so-so and could do with some improvement. The view and tranquility make it worthwhile, however. The beach it somewhat tidal and you can't really swim at low tide, but there is some coral and the sea is clean so when it is possible to swim it is very nice.

Good value on this island, but bad wifi 7 isolated
The hotel and pool are both very nice. It's difficult to get to anywhere else on the island. The wifi does not work in the rooms and doesn't really very well anywhere. You should probably get a Thai sim card before coming. There is a good LTE cell connection. Kayaks are free to use. Beach is nice during high tide. Food is good, but on the pricey side. However, this is really the only hotel that priced at this level on the island.

The location is great and the staff was helpful. The accommodations were fine considering the price. Clean and shower was very good. The grounds and condition of property were not good. Needs to be spruced up, especially in the main office and breakfast area. Breakfast was not good at all. Plus is the massages and free kayak rental. Worst thing that happened during our stay was that on two of the nights they were burning some branches on the hillside which made a lot of smoke, making it impossible to sleep. Otherwise a quiet and beautiful spot.

Good value for Ko Ngai
The hotel isn't the nicest on the island but for the price you can't beat it. The hotel offers free use of kayaks and snorkel equipment. There is snorkelling right off the beach with a nice drop off, the hotel is set on its own little beach that I found less crowded and more quiet than the rest of the island. Staff was really friendly and helpful and I actually got a free room upgrade. I would recommend bringing fruit and other snacks from the mainland before you arrive because there is very little to buy on the island and it's crazy expensive.

Budget priced resort right at the pier
We stayed in a basic room in Koh Ngai resort for two nights. For the money I felt like we got what we paid for and it was much less than other places on the island. That being said .. if I went back to Koh Ngai I would probably try a different resort for only a couple reasons. #1 being that this resort is removed from all other places on the island . You can take a 10 minute trail walk to the main beach but it could be challenging for some people as it is over hills and some rocky areas #2 WiFi internet on the resort was very slow and limited to main resort areas only. None in rooms Resort Pros: Reasonable priced massage services./ Nice pool and grounds/ Snorkeling equipment free of charge for entire stay & decent snorkeling right off the beach/ Free kayak use for 2 hrs per day/Quiet & relaxed Cons: Main buildings of resort are aging and some need attention/ Room furnishings (in basic room) dated & cheap with no fridge & no TV/ Restaurant service was slow ,food was pricey and uninspired / Included breakfast was limited (English only) and bland. Resprt isolated from other hotels and bars

Tolle Lage direkt am Pier und dennoch abgelegen von all den anderen Resorts, die sich am Mainbeach entlangziehen, kleiner Strand, an dem man direkt schnorcheln und schwimmen kann, der jedoch nicht jeden Tag vom Personal gereinigt wird, schade, da diese während unseres Aufenthalts augenscheinlich auch nicht viel anderes zutun hatten. Restaurant direkt im Hotel, bisschen teuer, aber man ist nunmal auf einer abgelegenen Insel, Kajaks können gebührenfrei bis 17 Uhr geliehen werden. Zimmer sind eher spartanisch eingerichten, kein Kühlschrank oder Fön. Ansonsten gepflegte Grünanlage und ein guter Ort zum Abschalten. Der Gang bis zum Mainbeach ist leider etwas unwegsam und sollte im besten Fall bei Tageslicht vollzogen werden, da nachts nicht beleuchtet, was auswärts essen am Abend schwierig macht. Mein Tipp: Kokosnussshake unbedingt probieren!

Okay hotel tæt på færgelejet
Okay hotel tæt på færgelejet med god mad, men for at komme over til den anden strand og hoteller skal man enten med Taxi boat eller igennem en halv farlig vej på en jungle/bjerg sti. Selve stedet er fin med god service, men værelserne er rigtig slidte så man skal ikke forvente at ville bruge meget tid der.

Helt OK, stannade en natt
Vi gjorde ett stopp på denna ö under vår resa från Koh Lanta till Koh Lipe. Vi bokade detta hotell för det va på piren, vilket underlättade när vi nästa dag skulle vidare. Ön är fin och inte så mycket turister vilket vi gillade. Hotellet har en restaurang och ok mat men lite dyrare mat men det kan man förvänta sig när det är en mindre ö. Ta på dig skor och gå till View point på Paradise Beach, helt magiskt. Vi tog ett enkelt rum som har allt man behöver, AC och varmvatten.

Super einsame Insel, der Weg bei Ebbe zum Mainbeach ist kein Problem, am Mainbesch gibt es ein paar Restaurants und Bars, im Resort gibt es nur die Möglichkeit im Restaurant zu essen, das Essen schmeckt ist aber nichts besonderes und bietet auch nicht viel Abwechslung. Das Frühstück ist überschaubar aber für ein paar Tage aushaltbar, die Aussicht auf Nachbarinseln und das Meer entschädigen. Der Pool ist genauso wie die Zimmer etwas überholt, wir wohnten in einen Strandbungalow, welcher sehr abgewohnt war, der Wasserdruck in den duschen war super und der Sonnenaufgang von der Terrasse aus sehr schön. Es ist möglich täglich für 2 h ein Kanu kostenlos auszuleihen und damit kann man zu super Schnorchelstellen raus paddeln, taucherbrillen und Schnorchel gibt es ebenfalls kostenlos an der Rezeption. Transfer nach Trang zum Flughafeb hat sehr gut funktioniert.

Piekny resort, z pieknymi widokami
Resort robi pierwsze wrazenie "wow", trafil nam sie piekny widok z balkonu na caly resort z pokoju "standard" nr 314, ale uwaga, bo pokoje z nizszymi numerami moga juz nie miec takiego widoku. Pokoj potrzebuje remontu, jest stary, zwlaszcza lazienka, ale da sie to przezyc. Sniadania smaczne, lecz monotonne, codziennie tosty, dzem, jajka sadzone, arbuz i ananas i naprzemiennie makaron i ryz. Basen jest czysty, piekny widok na morze. Resort ma swoja prywatna plaze z pieknymi rafami koralowymi. 2h dziennie darmowe kajaki i sprzed do snurkowania bez ograniczen.
