Hotel berhampiran Kao Ruerob, Koh Kood

After nearly four weeks travelling around Thailand, five nights at the Beach Natural Resort gave us the rest and relaxation we needed before returning to UK. The welcome from Tiger, the manager, was warm and helpful and he looked after us throughout our visit. All the restaurant staff were attentive and friendly. We would especially mention Pang at reception who was full of good advice. She’s a sweet girl in her first job. Our room, Bay 4, was spacious, clean and comfortable with a good view of the bay. The resort is small, peaceful and well kept in a beautiful bay, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The best snorkelling is around the rocks at the right hand side of the bay. The beach is clean and there were always enough sun loungers for all. The restaurant has an excellent choice of local and western dishes, well prepared and cooked at reasonable prices. There are no cars on Koh Kood and if you don’t want to rent a scooter the management can arrange a taxi to explore other parts of the island. Ours was a perfect stay and we would highly recommend the resort to those who want a peaceful and relaxing holiday avoiding the crowds.

Great location, excellent Beach Bar and crystal clear waters. Staff very friendly & helpful, Food was very good & good value. Bungalows less brilliant with some routine maintenance not being noticed or attended to. For example, in our bungalow the curtains were hanging on by a thread with a broken centre bracket & many missing/broken rings. No way to securely lock yourself in at night - just a piece of ill-fitting wood to hook over the handles of the sliding doors, which could easily be lifted from outside with a piece of card, etc. The toilet cistern was permanently filling (although far enough away from the bed not to disturb us). On the plus side there was a free room safe and aircon and an enormous comfortable & clean bed. Nice grounds & gardens.

Well, after a lot of searching we finally found a place on the beach, away from the bigger resort areas, within our budget, and overall, we weren't disappointed. The good The location is ideal. Right on a stretch of gorgeous sand with a shallow stretch of sea protected by a shelf of rocks a hundred metres offshore. With young kids, nothing could have been better. Crystal clear waters, clean beaches, and just what the doctor ordered. The staff were very welcoming, and the resort provides free masks and snorkels as well as skiffs for up to three people to paddle out over the shallow sea. There are plenty of fish to see so it's definitely worth taking advantage of these. There's a great collection of tables, sun loungers, swings, and hammocks for you to use, and most have umbrellas to protect you from the harsh May sun. It was incredibly hot at this time and I don't think we were quite prepared for that. The staff were very responsive when we asked for some things to be fixed in the room, such as a missing towel rail from the bathroom, an iced-up fridge, a broken remote control. and these are were resolved within a day or two. Perhaps the best thing about the resort is the restaurant and bar. The food was, we thought, exceptional value and of really good quality. My daughter couldn't eat enough of the spaghetti with pork and tomato and the spaghetti with bacon and chilli is excellent. Also good value is the barbecue set which we had for lunch at least twice. There's enough for 3 or 4 people with just one set. The bar is a great place to relax in the evening though I wish they were a bit more imaginative and varied with their happy hour cocktails. The not so good I've mentioned the problems with the fixtures and fittings in the room. What I find annoying is that guests need to tell staff that a towel rail has been removed, and that the fridge is so iced up as to be unusable. For the price, these things should be checked at least between guest bookings. The wooden laminate flooring in the bungalows has been pretty badly warped and there are gaps between the ends of the boards. This doesn't give a good first impression but perhaps the most annoying thing about the room was the design of the bathroom which seems to have been done by someone with no sense of what should go where. When you open the door to the bathroom, it brushes the side of the toilet seat, which inevitably means the toilet seat is constantly loose. Mad idea to put a toilet just inside a door. I don't think I've ever come across a design like that before. The shower location and the way it's attached to the wall means that anything near the sink gets totally soaked unless you want to remove the shower from the fitting and hold it while you shower. I think a bit of care and effort when designing the bathrooms would have paid off. But perhaps the worst thing of all is the breakfast. Considering the main restaurant food is pretty good, you'd expect breakfast to be along similar standa

We stayed in a Deluxe Villa and the Room Size is good,its clean and had enough room for the 4 of us (2Adults,child and baby) but the Garden or Terrace is not very charming or big or nice looking. The location of the resort is not the best especially during night concerning supermarket or Restaurants if you dont have a motorbike. The food in the Restaurant was good, breakfast was small but everybody finds something, the Scrambled Egg was amazing. The staff doesnt really speak english. There are a lot of People coming and going who just take pictures the whole day. There was lot of Trash on the Beach and in the water but its also a nice long stretch of Beach where you can walk and chill and play with your kids.

Hotel ini terletak agak jauh dari pusat, tetapi tidak kritikal, terdapat kedai berdekatan dengan semua yang anda perlukan. Kawasan hotel ini bersih, terdapat banyak katak yang menjerit di kawasan berpaya bersebelahan dengan rumah. Hotel ini bukan baru dan anda boleh merasainya dengan jelas. Tuala dicuci. Pantainya cantik - 5! Kakitangan sangat baik. Hotel ini menyewa basikal dengan harga 350 baht. Sarapan pagi membosankan. Bukan apa yang anda panggil sederhana, tetapi juga tidak terlalu banyak. Berbaloi pergi ke air terjun, ke pokok teh terbesar dan ke pelabuhan untuk makan di restoran laut.

It has taken so long to be able to at long last stay at Shantaa and I was not dissapointed. This little piece of paradise was totally worth the wait! The view from the well appointed and very comfortable villa was magical. The whole place is kept very clean and there are plenty of areas to relax in from the beach to the pool, cafe and restaurant. The food is all cooked to order including the delicious breakfasts. There is plenty to choose from and you will not go hungry. For a totally relaxing break in a tropical paradise you will not find better. You can even arrive and depart directly to the Resort via speedboat. It would be wrong to single out any one of the staff as they all make one great team effort in ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible. Thank you to everyone and I look forward to my next visit, it will not come soon enough.

Warm, friendly helpful staff comfortable rooms with all you need. This is not 5 star luxury, but is so much more, people doing their best, going that bit further. Ohhhhh and the beach stunning never saw more than 40 people on it... Comfortable cabins we had 17and 18 which looked bigger. It's not a Hilton or a Marriott or the like but is much more fun. Island life island pace ....

Все было замечательно. Идея с санузлом под открытым небом- скорее интересно чем удобно. Что же касается самого места: все бы ок, но видимо тайцам норм то, что пляж- за счет которого собственно они и живут, закидан мусором, в воде у берега плавают пакеты и пробки. По итогу ( а мы были на нескольких ресортах на острове) появляется эко развлечение- отдыхающие сами чистят воду и пляж от мусора, складывают его в одном каком то месте, а персонал улыбаясь наблюдает за этим…… видимо это особенность местная.

It was a 3-day-and-2-night trip with my friends and my 9-year-old daughter so we booked 2 villas with a private swimming pool. The villas are not new or super neatly cleaned but all are okay and kind of acceptable. The best thing is the resort staff. They are super nice, fun and friendly. They are ready to drop everything they are doing just to talk to you and answer your question. No matter how silly it is! They make me feel like they are ready to solve all the problems in the world for you, if asked! My daughter loves fishing there (even though she didn't get any fish lol). We borrowed the fishing rod from one of the nicest (probably) front desk staff who didn't seem to be bothered spending time teaching my daughter how to safely use the equipment. Wish I could ask for his name before we left. So I could give him better compliment. The view is just magical. Kayaking is also super fun. The Food is ways, ways better than we expected. The night bartender is a super cool & funny guy. He hosted the funniest Hermit crab racing in the world!
