Idyllic luxury on Koh Jum. Friendly staff, beautiful one bedroom villa it’s pool. This was the best holiday break I have had in Thailand. David, the manager was extremely friendly and helpful to us. Thank you.
Everyone dreams of their perfect honeymoon hotel - we had booked Koh Jum beach villas as our main treat hotel for our honeymoon and first Christmas away from our families and together as a couple so there was a lot riding on this one! And wow - it didn’t let us down. This is the hotel that you fantasise about when you think about the idyllic beach holiday resort. Our villa was stunning - a piece of gorgeous design in itself with every small detail looked after and thought of - from the gorgeous comfy bed, outdoor rain shower, staff opening and shutting your windows at different times of day for you to make sure the temperature is just right, private loungers set back from the beach where we’d watch the sunset every night and then a few steps down to our own small piece of beach and then into the sea. Tides are variable - but once you get the hang of them, it’s easy to know when to go in for a swim. Free kayaks and bikes too! Service is kind, professional and of the highest order - these guys know exactly what they are doing and they do it so well - especially the incredible Mandy on the front desk and David in the restaurant who both need to be treasured. Food is out of this world - the special occasion buffets are a thing of wonder and we’re still pining for the breakfast buffet, one of the best we have ever had. We also did a private cooking day in our villa which was so worth it. It’s pricey - but you are paying for the highest quality and that is what you are getting. Some of the other guests were a bit rude to staff but that’s sadly a characteristic of people with too much money sometimes. Thank you Koh Jum for a stay that was truly incredible. I’d say once in a lifetime - but we intend to return. Stunning. …
I have been lucky enough to travel to many corners of the globe and rarely am I inspired to return to whence I have been. Not that I am disappointed, it is just that my eye is always on the next bend in the road and I am always wondering what is over the next hill. However there are those countries, cities, and places that inspire a longing for a return trip. Individual accommodations, hotels, resorts and the like inspiring a return are rare. Koh Jum Villas is one of those rare places. The highest and best review I can give can be wrapped up in 3 words. "I am going back!" From the moment you see you driver at the Krabi airport holding a sign with "Koh Jum Villas" to the last bittersweet farewell to new found friends the resort exudes a tropical island welcoming, warmth and friendliness. The resort itself is beautiful, amazing beach setting, lovely well kept grounds, exquisite island style villas, some with pools some designed to accommodate families or parties of friends traveling together. The beach, Villas, restaurant, bar and pool are everything I could hope for in a tropical island paradise. The Andaman Sea laps up against the beach just steps away from the private decks of most of the Villas where you can swim and explore the reef with mask and snorkel. To be fair I read one review which complained about having to" pick your way through rocks to get deep enough to swim", fair enough, however, I must say, that that person doesn't know what a mask and snorkel are for. I spent so much time exploring the reef entranced by the marine life I lost all track of time and paid for it with a brutal sun burn. Side note, for those of you wishing to do the same, please use reef safe sun block if you don't have it you can buy it at the resort. That being said, here is a good place to mention the environmental consciousness built into the resort, more commonly these days, called green. From using recyclable bottles for the water filled from their personal filtering and bottling plant, to an organic garden whose harvest will grace your table and delight your pallet. Ok, so now I have to mention the food. Will utterly amazing suffice? That really doesn't do it justice but I am starting to feel like I am being to verbose. However I do need to mention that David a trained chef turned GM is in no small part responsible for the mouth watering menu. Take it from me try the Chicken Parmesan, or the King Mackerel or the Spaghetti or.... ok so never mind just give it all a shot you won't be disappointed. Now, the mention of David brings me to perhaps the most important part of this review. A beautiful setting, accommodations facilities and amenities do not a top notch resort make. What put Kok Jum Villas over the top are its people. With warm tropical island smiles, you will be greeted by Khun Mem at the Front desk Khun O behind the bar, Khun Sak serving tables and a crew of smiling ladies who make your bed every morning and make sure your accommodations are in first class shape they are all worthy of mention. Then there is David at the lead making sure your every want is catered to if you don't see it ask, if it is possible David will provide it. So in closing, my rating for Koh Jum Villas and Koh Jum itself is not just "5 stars" it has attached to that "I have already booked my return!" and my message to you reading this is, if you have the opportunity, go.…
Amazing stay at the beautiful 3- bedroom villa Baan Sabai at the the Koh Jum Beach Villas resort. We easily fit 6 adults for 1 week. Everything at the villa was perfect. Cleaned every day, gorgeous pool, 2 minute walk to the beach and top quality service from the staff at the resort. Everything we needed, we were provided. The bar/restaurant catered for our vegetarians every night and also provided nice specials every night. We will definitely book again!
We chose a villa facing the beach. It was composed of 3 separate buildings (lounge and 2 bedrooms), surrounding the private swimming pool. The service was very nice. The island was quiet, as it was during the Covid period. We loved it. Long beach, nice swimming even if some shallow corals at low tide. But not a problem at all. We had kayak and bicycles part of the offered services. All was extremally positive.
