Makathanee Resort

We had 12 incredible nights in 2 beach huts with our 8 and 5 yr old, they were 5 metres from sea and 5 metres behind from pool. The pool was gorgeous and a must with small children. We hadn’t been to KOH mak before so were hugely relieved how great Makathanee is! The better beaches are other side of island but that’s only 5 mins in a golf buggy and the Makathanee is a one minute walk from restaurants/shops/ice cream/chemist/massages - so the location was brilliant too. The last night we were in a top floor apartment which was also great. The staff were beyond brilliant!! So kind and helpful, especially a lady called ‘ Wow’ at reception who’s English is brilliant. The hotel is clean, a little run down in areas but rooms and pool, perfect! Breakfast, my girls loved, huge buffet.

The Makathanee Resort Hotel on the beautiful Island of Koh Mak still has the best location there is. Sure, you can find other properties that could be argued better but they cannot beat the location and price value of the Makathanee. From the moment you arrive you are warmly greeted by our good friends Wow, Syfa and Phon. They all speak perfect English and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcomed immediately. On a daily basis Da, Da & Lee keep your room clean and make sure all your amenities are restocked. If you head up to the the "Head in the Clouds" bar/lounge and deck overlooking the perfect sunset you will meet Som who will happily take care of all your food and beverage needs as you watch the sunset and the sky get painted in amazing colors. Pros: Excellent location Excellent clean grounds Excellent Housekeeping Clean breakfast buffet included with the daily room rate Excellent white glove service from entire staff who are extremely happy and helpful to see to your every needs. Extremely Excellent value for you spending dollars In Summarization - you will be hard pressed to find a better located resort than the Makathanee and we highly recommend this property to you. The price of this property is more than fair and you would be hard pressed to get this kind of value on any other Island in Thailand.

My travel partner was bitten by a dog on a morning walk. The staff was so helpful in having a taxi take us to the clinic and wait for us while he was treated. They also arranged for the taxi on the next two successive days we were there. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Nice view out to the sea. I like they have grassy area you can hang out on chaise lounge chairs during the day. We also ate at their In the Cloud restaurant. Great view out to sea and wonderful food! Breakfast offered the usual choices with relaxed place to eat. Nice pool also. Went in that each day. Plenty of places to eat around there and a pharmacy right across the street.

Great location and resort for Koh Mak. They have their own pier out front and possible to get speed boat to and from there if coming from Koh Chang or Koh Kood. Stayed in beachfront villa - great outlook across lawns and water. Gardens and are well maintained. Staff are lovely. Easy walk to multiple options for food and supermarkets and to hire motor bikes. Pool is clean and refreshing. 2nd visit to the island and this resort - loved the beachfront villa.

Breakfast was EXCEPTIONAL! with a genuine Thai taste in every dish. Big applause for the chef! The location is in a lively area where you can find everything by 1 min walking: restaurants, pharmacies, and a local superstore. It's also next to the beach.
