Hideout Koh Kood

The stay was good. It’s a real hide out so if you seek that then it’s the perfect location. It’s 2km from the nearest road, stores and restaurants so you either have to walk or rent a scooter. The road leading up to the hotel is rough and I wouldn’t walk there in the dark alone. The rooms are good - the bed is comfortable (if you like a hard mattress), it has enough light. The sink is outside the toilet. There is no storage space for your bags or to unpack. There are enough electric sockets. The fridge is full with water, snacks and soda and is free for grabs. The fridge is quite loud. The AC was quiet and very good. You need to get used to the amount of insects and geckos outside (and sometimes inside) your room (they do like to talk :)). The staff is amazing, very friendly and attentive. The pool is nice. The restaurant is okay- some dishes are very good; some are very bland. It’s around 100 baths more expensive for anything you buy at the hotel when compared to street prices. Fresh coconut was 120, and 2km further it’s 50. The beach is nice, but very rocky so it can be difficult to enter. There are free kayaks and paddle boards. They offer massages, but it was not the best experience. It takes place at the beach, so you have to strip down naked in front of people, and everyone can walk around. 800 bat for oil massage is pretty high. The massage was okay but you could feel that they were rushing it. Overall, a good stay but it was a bit too “hideout” for me - would love to have more options closer rather than relay on the restaurant or walk 30 min in the heat.

This truly is a hideout. Don’t worry about the few bumps on the road in, that is being sorted. The rooms are amazing. We stayed for a week and had to change to a couple of different rooms. If you can afford the pool vials that are pure luxury that you won’t want to leave. The more basic rooms are also amazing so you can’t go wrong. Only reason I have a 4 star is the food in the restaurant was ok but not great, we were heading out of the resort every day to find other tasty treats. But that gave us a good reason to explore the island. Definitely stay here if you can get a booking.

Such a beautiful cosy place! I loved being there and the staff are super friendly and helpful! It’s a bit in the middle of nowhere so if you are seeking a relaxing place to disconnect and recharge, it’s the perfect place for that. Because of that, you might feel limited but there are options such as renting a bike or a taxi driver for the day to take you around. I highly recommend!
