The Beach Natural Resort Koh Kood

The hotel is great 🙌🏻🙌🏻

We have just spent 4 wonderful weeks here in “Greenery 2”. The location is perfect, the atmosphere is friendly, our natural cottage room was well equipped ,clean. Also would be cleaned with towels, linen etc. replaced every day if wanted. (Although not necessary). In terms of “value” the restaurant and bar prices are 10-40% higher than most places. The whole resort including the grounds are very clean and well looked after. There is no noise on the resort (most things wrap up at 10:00pm). The service and staff are exceptional, every member of staff from gardeners/cleaners/restaurant/reception greet you with a smile and hello. All the staff are happy and respectful of the management which means the management look after the team and it shows in service given.

We stayed over New Year and had a lovely time. They put in a huge effort with entertainment (live band) and activities. Chilled tables under a lovely big tree with the ocean next to us, christmas lights etc. Food was incredible. The owners are unique and you will see the old guy at breakfast who is the owner. He is there to make sure you have a good breakfast experience. The best room option is the vilas at the front facing the ocean. The ones at the back are older and bathroom had a bad smell. They upgraded our family and are responsive re any issues. A 5 to 10min walk left leads to a picture perfect beach with clear pristine water and forest to the side. Its a backpacker budget villa hotel (Siam beach resort) but they have the better beach. Their restaurant is ok for lunch. Overall I would highly recommend staying at this hotel bc the owners and staff will ensure you have a great stay. You can catch either the 'Boonsiri' ferry or the Koh Kood express direct from the mainland to koh kood. They are both big boat options and safer.

The hotel was very responsive to emails and queries before my stay. It’s off the beaten track, which was exactly what I wanted for a more authentic, less touristy experience. Getting there takes some time — a short flight to Trat (or a 4-plus-hour drive), followed by a 45-minute transfer from Trat Airport to the pier, an hour-long boat crossing, and then a further 30-minute drive to the resort, with drop-offs along the way. The island itself is peaceful, with only a few small hotels and roadside restaurants — perfect for unwinding. The resort sits on a narrow beachfront plot in a small bay, with three villas just metres from the sand and sea. My room was large and airy, with windows on three sides, blackout and net curtains, an armchair, and a daybed inside. Outside were two loungers, two chairs, a table, and a useful awning for shade. The bed was wonderfully comfortable with two reading lights, though there were no power sockets nearby. The TV was internet-based and didn’t turn on during my stay. The air-conditioning worked very effectively in combination with a ceiling fan, and the small fridge was silent. There was a large sink area, a separate toilet with a wobbly seat, and a nice shower with a bench and clothes-drying area. Both the toilet and shower had slatted windows with mosquito nets, so they were warmer than the bedroom. Power sockets were limited — one near the vanity unit and another by the sink. Despite using repellent and keeping covered, I was still bitten quite a lot — the mosquitoes seemed able to bite through light clothing. Breakfast was extensive, with Thai and Western options, yogurt, croissants, bread, toast, and an egg station, plus a slow coffee machine using fresh milk — a welcome change from the UHT milk I’d had elsewhere, though coffee cups were tiny. The restaurant food overall was tasty with a wide selection. Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and obliging. There was some light construction work on the first floor of the restaurant building — not constant, but occasionally distracting. The Wi-Fi was generally good, with only brief interruptions. Overall, a beautiful and peaceful resort with warm, attentive staff — ideal for relaxing and disconnecting from the world for a few days. The sea was calm & shallow & sandy underfoot with no rocks, sea **** or sea urchins.
