This is a slice of paradise. If you want a beach experience on an island with no roads, cars, motorcycles or noise, this is your place. The resort makes transportation simple. They will arrange a van to pick you up at Trang Airport to take you to the pier - takes about an hour. From there it's a 25 minute speed boat ride to the resort. Their restaurant is right on the beach - smoothies, great pizza, good Thai food, mixed drinks, you name it. We loved all of it!

Absolutely wonderful

This is an absolute gem of a hotel. The bungalows open directly onto the beach, just feet from the door. The rooms are brand new and extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are marble with a full-wall mirror, a powerful shower, and an altogether modern feel. The TV -- also new -- connects to Netflix, Spotify, and a host of other apps; I didn't spend my days in front of the TV, but it was nice to be able to curl up after a day of snorkeling and lounging in the sun. All-in-all, the bungalow was absolutely perfect. So was the service. Unlike many resorts, Mali Koh Kraden doesn't nickel and dime. They provided snorkels, kayaks, lounge chairs...everything you'd want and for no additional charge. Instead of cramming bungalows right next to one another, the hotel owners left a good amount of space between them (which they filled with plants and other greenery). Not only did this make for more privacy, it also preserved the tropical feel I expected from the island. The hotel was clearly designed by someone who cares about the quality of the guest experience and understands that a good hotel reflects the island rather than imposing on it. I stayed for seven nights. It was far too short. The next time I come to Thailand, I'll make make a bee-line for Mali Koh Kraden. It was without question one of the best hotels I've visited in years, and I look forward to many more visits in the future. A thousand thanks to the hotel and its staff for ensuring such a wonderful visit.

Absolutely Amazing! Summary words are modern, tranquil, clean, excellent wifi, friendly, wonderful views, great reefs, beach and activities for all ages. A new resort that we didn't want to leave and the best on the island! We enjoyed it so much that we cancelled our booking at another resort, left early and returned to Mali Kradan for a 2nd time within a few days! It became our Oasis! The owner, housekeeping, reception/bar, porter and transportation team were all amazing, kind and hospitable. Rooms are very clean, spacious and inviting. The patio, lounge and bedroom area invites you to explore all 3 areas at different parts of the day depending on what interests you and/or your partner, whether you're inside relaxing or outside doing the same. Bathrooms are very clean and large. They fortunately do not suffer from sewage smells like so many other resorts in Thailand. The grounds are well manicured and treated, the beach a few steps away and the views amazing. The dogs are so calm, nice and soothing! The reefs in front of the hotel are amazing and whether at low or high tide, you can kayak, snorkel, wade or just lounge in the water. From emails arranging our transportation to and from the airport or intra-island, to enjoying the hotel and all of its inclusive activities, or whether having drinks from the bar, the owner and his team did a wonderful job with this resort and maintaining its appeal. Book. You won't regret it! Thanks for an amazing stay.

Nie wieder…

Zustand der Zimmer ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, Umgebung lieblos und oft sehr dreckig, Standard der Zimmer ist tief (zum Beispiel kein Warmwasser). Bilder des Resort sind stark geschönigt. Es mangelt an allen Ecken. Ruhige Lage, gut zum baden (Strand ist dreckig und wird nicht gereingt). Grosse Bäder. Thai-Essen ist gut. Gratis SUP und Kayak. Personal ist freundlich, aber schlecht geschult.
