Koh Mook Resort

Great pool and grounds, but sub par rooms. My room was beautiful from the outside, nice patio, but had at least 5 huge holes in the wall, paint scratched off the walls, and tons of mosquitos in the room/bathroom. This place looks close to town on a map, but is about a 10 minute taxi ride into town (50 baht each way). The restraunt is over priced and not great. Go next door to dada restaurant to eat, as there is nothing else close by. The beach that it is located on is quite dirty and rocky, I would not swim in it. As I said, it has a great pool, which is where I spent most of my time until I moved to a hotel closer to town and on a nicer beach.

Coconuts kept falling, need to trim the trees. We had 2 fall while walking under the trees and 1 fall later while we were outside.

I normally give just brief details for hotels, but this is an unusual one, so I will give a bit of detail. We travel for months each year and in a way, this is one of the most frustrating hotels we have stopped at. All the ingredients are there for a great place, it just does not quite work. POSITIVES ... Great big pool, fantastic well maintained gardens and settings, food was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful when asked to do things, free breakfast was great with endless choice. NEGATIVES .... Cleanliness, although the sheets and towels etc were very clean, our room was not serviced sometimes although there were four ladies in reception all day and we were the only guests on that day !!! Rooms not cleaned thoroughly (e.g. a bird must have gotten into our bathroom w before we arrived and there was crap on the floor .. It was still there when we left 4 days later. The rooms are just a bit run down with holes in the wall, old fashioned furniture, stains on walls etc. This could easily be fixed in a day or two to make the rooms really nice. In summery, we would stop here again ... Yes as it represents great value for money with a lovely outdoor area although if on the island for 4 days again, we would probably have 2 nights here and 2 on Charlie beach area. It could be so much better with good management ensuring a better attention to detail, pro active better trained staff which alone could lift its ratings deservedly much higher

Great room and pool was fantastic. A little out of town but nearby restaurant is great and can help with travel plans. Main downside and it’s a BIG one is the number of stray dogs that hang around at night and make a lot of noise. This place would be so much nicer if you could have a quiet night’s sleep.

Upon arrival the room we booked was not available. We had to have a twin room instead which didn't have the pool/seaview as stated. We insisted on a complimentary breakfast which they gave us without hesitation. Do not expect luxury at this resort, as previously stated the rooms are tired and basic. They were however functional and comfortable. The pool itself was lovely and we often had it to ourselves and the sunbeds were padded nd comfortable. The pool area was very untidy, empty beer bottles lying around for a few days. The breakfast was the usual options and very nice. With a little tlc this resort could be so much better. My personal opinion this hotel is twice the price it should be and the other resorts on the island also. We knew this in advance by looki g at reviews and are still glad we came as the island is beautiful. The family at Sugars cafe are great for booking private longboat trips, lovely food and drinks too!
