I first visited Plub Pla resort when it first opened 4 years ago and asked if we could simply have some lunch at the restaurant and was told "yes but you cant swim in the pool" . OK fine but I did not wish to use the pool so not sure why they were so protective of it! The service... More

The rooms are basic but comfy - some nice views available of the beach which is nice but venture not too far away and it's pretty grim - a lot of rubbish ruining the white sands - it wouldn't take much for the staff to have a quick tidy up and make it less gross. The beds are very hard...... More

If you're looking for a genuine small island experience, Koh Mak is a great place to go in Thailand. After exploring the island for a few days and visiting all the resorts, I must say Plubpla is probably the best resort on the island. By european standards, this hotel is 3 stars at most, but it's one of those places... More

We stayed at Plubpla for 9 nights from mid Jan and could hardly fault it. If you want somewhere quiet and relaxing then this is the place, Only 18 bungalows so no chance of overcrowding with the most helpful of staff run by the owners, the Kwang family who could not have been more accomodating. The restaurant was good with... More

We loved everything about this place. Elegance in all ways, including staff, rooms, walkways, views, restaurant, pool, everything was beautiful. I don't want dusty knick knacks, I don't want overly friendly falsified charm from servers. This place somehow manages to be modern high end, while still adhering to calm and easy attitudes. Effortless. And we are going back to this... More

Nice resort on a very calm island. Service was soso. Our arranged pick-up from the ferry was not there, no amenities, towels or water in the room. Staff was reserved, to say the least. We did all the offered bike, cycle, snorkeling activities (unless you want to share the water with a couple of hundred other people, invest the money... More

This is an amazing place if you are looking for a relaxing stay. Gorgeous views, amazing infinity pool, beautiful bungalows and very clean/trendy. Friendly but reserved staff, not what we were used too. Food ok but nothing special. Thaï food made for Europeans. There are better options closer to the pier. But in conclusion:worth every single penny! Not a resort... More

We came to Koh Mak for 7 nights in Feb 2013 and loved every minute of it! This is very much due to the amazing Plubpla Resort - this is one of those places that are rare among hotels. Everything is carefully considered down to the last detail, informal and cosy, yet stylish and very beautiful with individual art pieces... More

First must say that Koh Mak is a very nice island. Very quiet and away from the crowds. The four families that owned the island intend to keep it that way. The Plubpla Resort is located on an isolated end of Koh Mak which makes it ideal for those looking for a quiet get a way. The resort is very... More
