Wonderful place. Calm and easy. Delicious food in the restaurant. Beautiful sunsets. Easy access by minivan from Bangkok to Laem Ngop and speedboat to the pier just by the resort. Compared to the other resorts on Koh Samet, this is even more relaxed and tranquil. Perfect for a romantic getaway, or just a relaxed time with books in the shade.

Bungalow is right on the beach with a spectacular view everyday. The bungalows are nothing special but the view makes up for that. Maid service everyday so they are clean. There are 2 restaurants which are both good, and a small supermarket. There is also a place for you to hire motorcycle (which I would recommend as island isn't very... More

Good resort with a good range of different accommodation options to meet various budgets. The beach was nice and clean as was the sea. The pool was also good for going in with children. Overall considering we stayed over new year it was pretty decent value for money and we definitely enjoyed our time here. Some of the accommodation was... More

(1) Yes, Koh Mak Resort also offers some bungalows that are much older, and possibly not up to the... More

Stayed four nights with my family of four (children aged 1 and 3) in a standard bungalow (B2 I believe). The bungalow wasn't really much more than a kingsize bed, an extra bed right next to it and a small bathroom. It was rather worn and felt a little bit like a cheap motel. But we weren't there to spend... More

Please, please do not go to this place, it will ruin your holiday. We have never written a critical review on TripAdvisor although we have travelled a lot in Thailand but we have to warn future travelles about this terrible place. It is so terribly misrepresented on their website. Perhaps it once looked like the photographs but it doesn't any... More

We stayed at the Koh Mak Resort for five nights. We booked a superior beach front suite which looks very impressive when you arrive. There are about 6 of these rooms at the end of the resort, all by the sea. It feels like you have your own private beach. The room itself is very nice - floor to ceiling... More

...if you're looking for a nice, calm place with good service. We had reserved a family deluxe villa and it was old, worn out and not at all something I would label as being "deluxe". Bugs came in through holes in the wall, many things such as the water heater for the shower and the safety box were not working.... More
