Koh Kood resorts, bungalows, gueshouses and homestays total about 130 and are almost all located on the west coast.
Luxury
The luxury high end market is dominated by Soneva Kiri in the far north of the island where prices start at around 45,000bt a night for the various sized pool villas and pool suites – very exclusive. High Season on Klong Chao Beach, is not in the same bracket, but their own villas range from 15,000bt to 30,000bt.
3/4 Star
Great 3/4 star Koh Kood resorts include The Beach Natural Resort and Koh Kood Resort, both at the northern end of Bang Bao Beach. Or you could look at Tinkerbell Privacy, which has prime position on Klong Chao Beach, with its front row on the sand and its 2nd row replacing the direct seaview with your own small pool.
Captain Hook Resort, accessed only by sea in Klong Yai Kee and Cham’s House on Ao Takian Beach are two other very private and well run choices.
Rooms in these Koh Kood resorts range from 4,000bt up to 18,000bt for deluxe, sea view and pool villas.
2/3 Star
In the 2/3 star range feature, you can check out To The Sea Resort looking out over Bang Bao Beach and Koh Kood Paradise Beach Resort, Meedee Resort or Seafar Resort, all on Ao Tapao. The older Koh Kood Beach Resort sits above its little cove in Klong Mad.
Expect rates to go from 3,500bt to 10,000bt in high season.
Boutique
You’ll find excellent boutique choices across the island. Upstream from Captain Hook in Klong Yai Kee, Bann Makok combines several traditional stilt water houses to provide 8 rooms, a restaurant and some chill-out areas – from 3,500bt a night.
Wendy The Pool in Klong Chao, meanwhile, has its deluxe rooms on 3 sides around a central pool, where you step straight from the verandah into the water – 8,000bt a night in peak.
Shantaa, with its fabulous seaviews from high up on the hill in Ao Tapao, combines romantic villas with a new infinity pool, beach bar, cafe and restaurant – assume 5,000bt upwards.
Hideout, popular with the younger IG Thai crowd, sits on its own little cove just before Klong Hin Beach. Rest Sea Resort (same group as Koh Kood Resort) is by the sea at one end of Ao Phrao Beach, down in Koh Kood’s far south west – similar prices to the 3/4 star offerings. Escape Life, just behind Rest Sea on the river, offers a cheaper alternative.
Standard Bungalows
More regular bungalow resorts range from 2,000bt to 5,000bt for a/c ensuite rooms – look out for Sunshine Resort and I-Lay House on Ao Phrao Beach, Dusita Resort on Ngamkho Beach, Baan Bua Cottage (Klong Mad), Rim Talay (Ao Jak) Siam Beach Resort on Bang Bao Beach or Little White Bird, Mark House and Mangrove Bungalows on the river in Klong Chao.
Traveller and Backpacker
Happily, Koh Kood has not forgotten backpackers and budget travellers with a good number of places including:-
- Cozy House, Koh Kood Garden View, PD Guesthouse, BB Dorm (all Klong Chao)
- Ngamkho Resort, Chor Chaba (Ngamkho)
- Sand and Sea (Bang Bao)
- Eve House, Wooden House, Kuba Lounge (Ao Takian)
- Walk-in Homestay (Ao Jak)
- Klongmad Hostel (Klong Mad)
The cheapest fan rooms (double and maybe hot water shower) are around 600bt (dorm) to 650bt per night in peak season. For an a/c, it’s normally around 1,000bt to 1,500bt for an ensuite, hot shower.
Room prices on Koh Kood are considerably higher than on Koh Chang and Koh Mak, so you will need to book early if you want to secure your choice and get the best deal.
Prices given are for the peak Xmas period via booking sites, not the hotel websites. They are intended as guides only.
