Hotel berhampiran Makayuk Trailhead, Koh Kood

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.

I would like to thank the team at Tinkerbell Resort Hotel from the bottom of my heart. I spent two unforgettable weeks with my mother away from civilisation on the beautiful island of Koh Kood and all the two weeks we were surrounded by the care and warmth of the wonderful people working in this hotel! Lovely, friendly and helpful, they were always willing to help. I would like to say a special THANK YOU to the restaurant team, they are all not only very pleasant in communication, but professionals. Special thanks to Khun Thach Chheang she did a wonderful job along with her team - Laeng Rin, Sarorn So and Charlotte! Thank you very much dear girls, we love you and miss you a lot! You made us smile every morning when we entered the restaurant and every evening when you opened another bottle of Prosecco with great professionalism! We have warm memories of you! We would also like to mention the excellent work of the front desk, thank you Tihlaree! The ladies who gave us a wonderful, very professional massage every day - Nit and Anny, thank you! Thank you to the bartender - Tung for a wonderful job! Unfortunately we don't know the rest of the staff names, but we would like to say thank you to all of them - room cleaners, gardener, pool and beach staff and cleaners. They all work very hard to make your stay pleasant! The location of the hotel is also very pleased, the bungalow is right on the beach! What else can you want when you are on the island:)! Of course, it would be nice to renovate the hotel a little (light renovation of the rooms, because in some places the plaster is falling off). But believe me, these are all small things compared to the great attitude you are surrounded by when you stay at Tinkerbell Privacy Resort Koh Kood!

A very nice small set of bungalows overlooking a beautiful beach and walking pier. Rooms were small but ample for a 2 people. The bathroom though connected is outside. It is a cute bathroom with plants and decorative walls but it does have lots of crawly friends to give it a natural look. The breakfast is nice and you have multiple cooked to order options. They have no amenities outside of a restaurant, on site massages and a kayak and snorkel rentals. Most places don’t charge for these. The rooms have a nicely manicured lawn with trees and hammocks and swings. The employees and owners are very friendly and helpful. They provided transportation from our other hotel.

I read numerous reviews from different sites mostly pre pandemic. Numerous negative comments primarily focused on the lack of maintenance relating to bungalows and surrounding grounds. Well after my first day here I can say nothing has changed. I paid 2470 baht per night for my aircon bungalow x 5 nights. Generally, as long as the room is devoid of bugs and the aircon, tv, fridge and hot water all work (all okay here) I'm not too fussed about decor etc. But I think the price to value ratio lacked equity. I say this based on comparative island establishments from my extensive traveling around Thailand. Only the pool and beach were redeeming features for me. Breakfast was ordered from a set menu plus toast, juices and fruit. This switched to a buffet when there were enough guests. It was adequate for me. A ground maintenance crew turned up on my second day so they would have been kept busy for some time. The resort did organise a fire show on the Saturday night. I did not leave Koh Kood with a fond memory of my bungalow but I did toward the friendly, helpful and attentive staff and the location on this beautiful island.

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.

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.

Had a delicious meal here at sunset. Staff put the mosquito burners under the table to prevent mozzies munching your feet. Very high quality food with extensive menu and options for fussy kids! We had the pepper prawns and Thai corn salad. I’d recommend this place for the variety on the menu, cleanliness as well as the beautiful setting - especially at sunset. The beach here is soft powdery sand, a good drop off so good for paddling and swimming. The jetty can be deep enough to jump off the end (test the depth first!) and there is a freshwater shower on the beach.

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.

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 ....
