Mayalay Resort-Green Hotel

I love this hotel because of its location and friendly staff. I have been here twice, I just love the island and vibes. I prefer the hotel, because it has a best location in the island in my opinion. There are still some things that need to get improved, fx bungalows are bit tired, but still cosy enough. The staff is also very nice and helpful. I feel very safe and relaxed here.

This is our favorite place to go to when we’re in Thailand. The island is very quite and calm and very beautiful. The resort is nice, has bungalows on the beach. The restaurant and reception is really cozy and they serve very good food. They have sunchairs at the beach and you get beachtowels. The staff is very nice and helpful. We will definitely go back here again. The only things that needs improvement is the wi-fi and the bungalows needs some renovation.

This is a fantastic resort. It’s simple but nice and clean. The staff is really friendly and they can speak english. The part of the beach down the resort was the best part of the beach on Koh Ngai. The food was good but the breakfast could offer more option to vegans and vegetarians. We want to go back!

A stay in paradise Lovely stay in paradise with the beach just outside the bungalow.

Absolutely a tropical paradise - with a couple of exceptions. The customer service is amazing and first rate service as soon as you arrive. The snorkeling trip with Mark was the best thing we did in our month in Thailand and I highly recommend it! The cabanas are very comfortable; although the mattress is rock hard. Fresh seafood is delicious! In hindsight, I would have just rented a garden view instead of the sea view for the cost since all of them are just steps from the beach and not worth the extra cost for the sea view. I do have a couple of recommendations though: STOP BURNING TRASH!!! This is completely unacceptable and the noxious fumes you are creating is poisoning your guests and the environment. Unfortunately, all the resorts on this island do this archaic practice and the smell is unbearable. There is also a large unregulated garbage dump along the trail to the other side of the island that needs to be cleaned up. Second recommendation is for the resort to use biodegradable cardboard straws. There is no place for plastic in a paradise like this. Lastly, stop anchoring the boats in the very sensitive sea grass and reefs. If you want to protect this island, these practices must stop immediately. I would have gladly of paid extra for my stay if I knew it went towards preserving this unique and beautiful location. With all this being said, it is a breathtaking (no pun intended with the burning trash) experience and far less tourists than on other islands.
