Koh Mook hotels & places to stay

We stayed in total four nights in Sivalai beach villa. I must say that Sivalai is definitely the best hotel and place to stay in Koh Mook. Located on definitely the best beach on the island. It is calm, with the perfect beach, clean villas (they clean everyday, change the linen, towels, clean the toilet, etc...) and they even clean the beach everyday! Massage in Koh Mook is quite expensive and so it is also in Sivalai, but it is also good and the best part, you can have it in your own room without extracharge. I definitely recommend to choose the beach front villa, rather than the villa with the gardenview or seaview or what it is called, not sure. The beach villa is definitelu worth the money! Enjoy! Ps. During the low season(we traveled in the end of october) the weather was hot and the pricetag reasonable.

We had a wonderful time at Koh Mook De Tara. Hotel's owner and staffs were very friendly and helpful. Good communication from booking until arrival. The food was very delicious. We had fresh seafood ordered for us from the fishermen at reasonable price. Even though breakfast took a bit long time to wait due too amount of guests, dinner was served quickly. The beach bar was very relaxing overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately, there were pollution from Indonesia so the view was not clear. The tent we stayed was quite spacious and equipped with many essentials amenities and facilities such as air condition, fridge, hair dryer, cable TV and ensuite bathroom.

From the minute they picked us up at the pier at Koh Mook, the Mook Lamai staff were exceptional. Tid literally took care of everything for my wife and I, and even had flowers and rose petals on our bed for our honeymoon. Nina was able to provide a complete rundown of the island for us and had a number of good recommendations for activities for us to do. Tid helped us arrange for a private longtail boat to do the Emerald cave EARLY and this was one of the best experiences we've had our entire time in Thailand. Not only did we get the sunrise on the boat, the boatman had full gear and was our guide swimming into the cave. We got to enjoy the cave alone for over 25 minute before more tourists arrived, and then the boat man took us to a local snorkeling hole completely unexpectedly. This is the type of arrangements that only Mook Lamai could provide. When we come back to Thailand, without question we will return to our family at Mook Lamai!

We were 3 girls traveling to Koh Mook and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay! We had the beachfront villa which was a delightful house on stilts right in the beach front ( true to the name). We fought over who would get the extra get since it was just so cozy! The staff are very nice and friendly... the massage centre is at a beautiful location and the masseuse was also extremely good and really paid attention to pressure points. The resort is absolutely stunning... they organise a snorkelling trip and a trip to the emerald cave where the boat picks you up from the beach right outside your room... overall... a beautiful holiday! Thank you Pawapi!

at the tail end of the high season i found myself the only westerner in this hotel amongst very many thai tourist over the thai new year. i never felt out of place though and really enjoyed my stay here.... the resort is on the village side of the island and a trip out to hat farang (on the western side of the island confirmed for me anyway, that i was in the right place for me. .... i was looking for some peace and quiet after 3 months in india!. the food is great. my only suggestion for the hotel is that they could do with some hammocks and perhaps soft cushions for the sun loungers and hard furniture. a very friendly place, great value and a place i would stay again if i find myself in koh mook.

Riviera is one of the best beach resorts I have ever stayed at. At first I was thinking of staying just few nights, but place was so superb that I stayed there 12 nights in skyroom,which was spacious, simple and stylish. There was beautiful garden view and it was only one minute walk from the peaceful beach. Professional management, really helpful and friendly staff (excellent service), good food, great location just by the beach and few minutes walk to village. In this price category you cannot find better in Koh Mook. Really recommendable!

We had a wonderful stay at Mookies Bungalows and highly recommend their place for comfort, value and proximity to Charlie Beach (west side of island). Sivalai (on the east side of island) is beautiful but dominated by the resort. Charlie is large, offers kayaking and has several beach restaurants. Plus, it’s the right side for sunset and only 10 minutes from Mookies. Note that as of early 2018, Charlie Beach Resort is closed until further notice, so don’t anticipate using their facilities as in the past. The Mookies team was friendly and helped us book taxis, deliveries of large water (less plastic) and our ferry transfer to Koh Jum. Rooms were large, and although we did not have AC, they were comfortable at night with the fan. Best of all, we got to know Wan and her family a bit (owners and staff) and ended up volunteering with her for a Trash Hero beach cleanup event on the island. We would return to Koh Mook and stay at Mookies Bungalows again!

Pros: - Down the road from a great beach (nice during high and low tide). - Breakfast was good - Quiet section of the island and also more clean than the rest of the island - Staff were awesome and friendly - Close to some nice restaurants Note that this island is not a very touristy island which is great! Accommodation is not fancy but you get what you pay for and is worth a visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Yai. We read the many reviews praising his hospitality and the effort that he goes to with all of his guests and we were not disappointed, if anything it exceeded our expectations. The accommodation is basic but clean and it is clear to see that Yai works extremely hard to make this happen. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Yai, he would drive us in his taxi to see sunset and to go to restaurants or bars. Yai even shared his food and drink with us and got us a fresh coconut from his tree to drink and eat. It was clear to see that Yai was very proud of Koh Mook and he wanted to make sure that we saw the very best of an amazing island. Thank you Yai for a great stay on a beautiful island. We will see you again.

We spent 3 amazing nights in this place. the bungalows 9 was so well situated and perfect with the little terrace. We love so much Koh Mook, the island, the local people friendly and smily all day long. Had Farang is at 200m from the main beach and we checked every single night the sunset. the housekeeping service is really efficent et the rest of the staff too. Always smily and helpfull. Wild dogs are awesome and there to protect us against monkeys. So cute. We loved this place so much, and the small village of Koh Mook. this island is a paradise. We will come back. thanks for everything.

We stayed here for 4 nights havin booked the cheaper rooms with a fan. But we didn't expect the room to be what it was. The bed was on the floor which I wasn't too bothered about until we had an attack of ants which they ate my back alive through the night. The toilet as well was a squat and drop which I think they should advertise or just change because it was disgusting. Even worse the shower was over the toilet. The whole experience ruined our stay in Koh mook. But it's probably our own fault for not getting an air con and staying in a bamboo hut with lots of creepy crawlies about. The room didn't feel clean but was tidy when we got in. It is quite noisy from the long tail boats starting up early in the morning. The sunrises on that side but sets on the Charlie beach side. The bar is cool as it looks over the sea, but never had food whenever we asked for something to eat. The other more expensive rooms looked nicer when we poked our head in but for the same price you could probably find somewhere a lot nicer on the island. The staff were so lovely and helpful trying to organise trips for us but then again the whole island would probably help you if they could sell you a trip.

The house owner family are really kind. Living here for 3days was a very memorable experience. The room is artistic and creative with every detail of the design, and sure it’s clean and comfortable too. Besides ,the house owner invited me to join their family BBQ party, it’s really nice to meet other friends and talk to them. On my leaving day, I missed the boat I booked,so the kind house owner helped me to find another best way to back . I appreciate that. If you want peaceful but full of surprises travel, come and live here. I will come back again one day ~

We really loved our stay here. The fact that there are only 6 bungalows make you feel like you're really pampered. You wouldn't expect to find such lovely modern rooms here. The grounds are so well kept and the staff really care about making your stay perfect. Rew was so helpful our whole stay and is such a funny nice guy. Thank you Rew! The christmas buffet was such a nice touch. They had crackers and fireworks. Truly a magical place :) Also we loved the pool! No need for a swimming beach. There are a pack of jungle dogs who are fun to watch wander the beach at times. Koh mook had a very chill vibe to it too! Absolutely recommend. Also check out ting tong bar so fun!
