Great location and restaurant/facilities. Staff could do with cheering up a bit! 600B for fan room, was alright but there are cheaper rooms in other resorts. Very noisy at night, the island's night bar was right outside our hut which we discovered when trying to get an early night after being poorly! Stay elsewhere and socialise/dine here.

We had simpanzee hut. Pillows hard as rock but otherwise okay. Been in better places with same money but maybe Koh Mak is more expensive. Fan, cold shower, mosquito net, free wifi, small terrace with hammock and sea view. Friendly staff.

You get what you pay for...and sometimes even more :-) Micky is the perfect artist, musician, beach boy and entertainer to run this place very well and make your stay there a special one!
If you are out for social life his nearby Monkey Bar is the perfect spot to meet other people or just jam with him and his band. The restaurant is nice decorated and the beach invites for sunset walks and relaxing. Worth a stay for sure!

The only disappointing thing about my stay at Monkey Island was that I couldn’t stay longer. While still on Koh Chang I called Monkey Island 5-days in a row, during high season, until I could get a room. Once I arrived the place exceeded my expectations and I didn’t want to leave.
The first night I stayed in a Chimpanzee hut, with the ocean just 20 yards from my front porch. My room was spotless and charming. It included a comfortable bed with mosquito net, an airy, private outdoor bathroom, and a front deck with 2 hammocks & 2 sling-backed chairs. However, since I am a light sleeper, I moved to another room, farther away from the Monkey Bar.
The rest of the week I stayed in a Gorilla hut. These spacious rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, evoking a sense of room-to-ocean transition. The room includes a giant comfortable bed, mosquito net, air conditioning, and an indoor, large tile bathroom. Outside is an enormous veranda with comfy deck chairs and hammocks. The ocean is 40 yards away during low tide, but cozies up just 15 yards from your deck during high tide.
Meals were consistently good. I especially enjoyed the evening barbecue that included a selection of fresh fish, chicken, steak and whole potatoes.
The grounds are charming and well maintained. Mickey has set up an impressive aquaponics garden to grow fresh veg. The kiddie pool is adequate for taking cooling plunges in. Each day the beach is meticulously maintained by staff. The onsite massage is very high quality – especially the very chilling aloe massage and the expert Thai massage.
The main dining room is decorated so groovy, complete with cozy benches and hanging chairs. Each evening a super nice young man performs cover songs, while later in the evening the entertainment switches over to a reggae vibe at the hip Monkey Bar.
I was able to pick-up Wi-Fi from the veranda of both of the rooms I stayed in. There was no problem with biting flies at their beach. The ocean is shallow and calm – just watch out for the spiny sea urchins lurking on the ocean floor.
Mickey and his family and friends run a great, friendly, chillaxed establishment.

We stayed in a B600 small bungalow with fan and attached bathroom. Bigger and newer AC bungalows also available for B1700.

Pros: Free wifi and 2 laptops for guests to use for free; great music in the main restaurant and bar; good location on the beach and near one of the piers.

Cons: The cheaper bungalows are very small and dark and poor value at B600; the double bed was covered by a mosquito net full of holes which was designed for a single bed making proper sleep very difficult for a couple on this island infested with biting insects; live music at night is a bit noisy in the rooms

Overall: Better to stay somewhere else (Koh Mak Cottage next door had better bungalows at B500) and come to Monkey to socialise if on a budget.
