Koh Kood Beach Resort is a laid-back, upper-middle-range beachfront hotel off the coast of Thailand on Ko Kut Island. The 24 bungalows and private houses are relaxed with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning, but feel a bit tired in some places. Private houses and Thai-style rooms have access to hot tubs, providing a bit of an upscale vibe to a stay here. The private beach, massages on offer, seafood restaurant, free breakfast, and outdoor pool keeps couples and families entertained, which is good, as there’s not much to do in the immediate area. Shantaa Koh Kood is a nice alternative with more modern room decor and yoga classes on-site.

Scene
Beach resort with tropical grounds, a private beach, and eco-friendly vibe
Popular with vacationing couples and families, Koh Kood Beach Resort has a quiet, secluded vibe. It’s spread across lush green grounds filled with tropical trees and plants that lead to the hotel’s low-key private beach. The property is made up of separate buildings, such as private wooden bungalows and houses where guests stay and an open-air restaurant with a large shaded platform that looks out to the ocean. Overall, there’s a simplistic, eco-friendly vibe to the decor. Think: Heavy wooden materials with little decoration beyond the nature that surrounds the property. With a remote location, this hotel is best for travelers who want a quiet, relaxed stay on a beach.
Location
Remote private beachfront location that's a 15-minute drive to a waterfall
Koh Kood Beach Resort is located on its own private beach in a remote location with little in the immediate area besides a motorcycle rental shop, which is convenient as mopeds are the best way to get around the island. There’s a restaurant and a coffee shop that are a 15-minute walk away, and more diverse dining options are about a six-minute drive away. It takes 15 minutes by car to reach the Klong Chao Waterfall. Take note that arrival to this resort is a bit of a hassle. Travelers must fly into Trat Airport then take an hour’s drive to Laem Sok pier, from which a private boat will take guests to Koh Kood Beach Resort.
Rooms
Bungalows, rooms, and private houses with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and balconies
The hotel has three room types: Bali-style bungalows, twin bungalows in a Thai-style, and private houses known as Sunset Houses. All units are heavily influenced by natural materials like wood and stone, and thatched roofs in the Bali bungalows. Interiors are simplistic but a bit dated in decor with visible wear and tear here and there and old-fashioned furniture and chairs. All room types have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, fans, minibars, balconies, and safes. The Thai Rooms have shared terraces with hot tubs. The private houses offer kitchenettes with sinks, stovetops, ovens, and kettles. Bathrooms vary, but many have open-air layouts with showers, toilets, and sinks in shaded and private patios decorated with plants. Toiletries and hairdryers are provided.
Features
Beach, pool, massages, restaurant, free breakfast, kayaks, and free Wi-Fi
This resort features a number of amenities, starting with a private rocky beach set with some loungers and umbrellas. There’s also an outdoor pool with a connecting children’s pool. Though the hotel lacks a gym and full spa, it offers Thai massages by the beach. As for dining options, the hotel has one seafood-focused, open-air restaurant with Thai and international dishes. Guests note that meals here are generally pricy for Thailand, but the restaurant offers a free breakfast in the morning that includes items like omelettes, fruit, cereals, and sometimes pancakes. Guests can also access free tea and coffee throughout the day from the restaurant. Other amenities include free (but spotty) Wi-Fi, and activities like kayaking, DVD rentals, swings, and beach volleyball -- some of which require a deposit at the front desk.
