We stayed in a ayutaya hut in the resort. It really was excellent. The room was well maintained and cleaned. It was really spacious. The staff is really friendly and they offer tons of free activities such as mountain bikes, snorkeling gear and when there not broken canoes. The food is mediocre but you can always choose to take one... More

If you are looking for a real laid back, low intensity, chill out holiday this is for you. Not for the party scene (not that anywhere on Koh Mak is for that!). Great beach, good snorkeling off to the left of the restaurant (but watch the giant sea urchin spines, you don't want one of those in your leg!). And... More

We booked four nights in march at this Thai-family-run resort located directly at the sandy beach. The bungalow that we got looked very comfortable but there was a extremly bad smell in it. We asked at the reception and they sent us somebody who installed an air-refreshener (we doubted if this is the perfect solution for this kind of problem...).... More

We stayed at this resort for a week and can really recommend it! We came with two small children and two teenagers and they all enjoyed themselves. They have a trampoline for the kids and a big chess board at the charming beach bar for the kids to play at. You can also rent bikes, snorkeling gear and canoe. The... More

Spent quite a few days here and as we kept extending our stay we experienced all the types of accommodation on the resort .... I preferred the beach front villas to the Thai style villas. There is also a pretty nice looking stand alone bungalow with its own rooftop balcony - this is the only accommodation we didnt try but... More

Well, after reading the good reviews here my partner and I decided to give it a go. I will try and be brief: If you are a couple or seek tranquility, DO NOT come here. Kids screaming everywhere at all hours, it's worse than a kindergarten. There is NO wifi INternet in any of the bungalows, but this is a... More

I was really looking forward to getting to Ko Mak after a few days on Ko Chang and from the minute we climbed into the pick up taxi I had a massive smile on my face. The island is not big so for either of the boat drop offs it is only 10 minutes to Ao Kao. It's such a... More

We stayed for 5 nights in the Lanna bungalows and throughly enjoyed our stay. We had been to Ko Mak 10 yrs ago and was pleseantly surprised at how little it had changed, all of the changes were for the better. We were lucky enough to discover the Ao Kao White Sands Resort after staying 2 nights on the other... More

We stayed at Ao Kao for 3 of the 6 nights we spent on Koh Mak and loved it. The beach is gorgeous (no rubbish in sight and who needs a pool when the water is this inviting), the bungalow huge, decorated well and very comfortable and the staff lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our time, what more would you want??

We came over to Koh Mak for just one night from Koh Chang and really loved the place. The manager mr Chain was extremely helpful and set up some extra beds in the rooms and wished us warmly welcome even though we made the reservation just the previous evening before our arrival. We stayed at a fairly big hut called... More
