Koh Ngai Cliff Beach Resort

Was so looking forward to staying here . It’s a really large property that sadly has been left to deteriorate and would cost massive amounts to bring it up to a good level. The pool and views are spectacular. Sadly everything else was disappointing. We trekked 177 steps up to our room close to the pool which I didn’t mind. There is a curvy road up if you prefer to steps. On arrival we were taken up with our cases by a ‘golf buggy’ The pool area is large but empty . You get pool towels at the bar area but the wooden loungers were mostly broken and very uncomfortable . Had spinach spring rolls at the pool 3 days out of 4 and were lovely. The guy also gave us ice for our room which we appreciated. The pool bar closes at 3pm so if you want anything it’s that trek down the stairs again. Breakfast is also down the stairs. There are a few options but the cold food is not covered and there were lots of ants. In fact lots of ants everywhere . We dined at the restaurant the 1st night but it was poor. The staff just didn’t seem to bother, very unusual for Thailand . The lady on reception was friendly though. There’s no TVs in the rooms ( if that’s your thing ) and the WiFi is not existent. There’s also a lack of plugs , we could only find 2 and the fridge used 1 of those. Such a shame but I wouldn’t stay here again and suggest you go for ‘ a day visit’ to buy a drink ( before 3pm!) and have some food to enjoy the views. We did manage to get the buggy up another day after the beach but the guy isn’t always available.

Loved this hotel I loved my stay here, the views were spectacular and the calm and peaceful surroundings were very much needed. Infinity pool was just amazing. Room was very big, clean and they clean daily. Breakfast was buffet style and again with amazing views. Internet was a bit spotty at times so I just sat in the lobby to book flights etc. I would not recommend this for the elderly as the hills and stairs up to the pool are quite steep. On arrival they golf cart your luggage up which was nice. Will definitely return!

Stunning location with amazing views The location of this hotel is stunning, with the pool at the very top of the complex. There is a lot of climbing up stairs and slopes to get anywhere, but well worth it and I suppose the clue is in the name of "Cliff" Beach resort. The majority of the other hotels etc are at sea level and further along this east coast, so many have virtually no sun during the day, whilst due to the height of the pool are here, you can get sun well into the afternoon. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. By far the best place to stay on the islane in my oinion.
