Ko Poda Vacations from $252

Newer hotel, a bit out of the way, quiet. Staff tried but we had a hard time as we don’t speak Thai and they didn’t speak English. Disappointed that they didn’t always clean our room.

What a lovely resort, right on the beach and next door to "walking street" which has many options for bars, restaurants and shops (and ATM's). Although it is next door no issue with noise. Staff very helpful, a very relaxed stay. This resort is rather unique as the only way to it is by boat which made it very special for us. You can see monkeys, lizards and small toucans. Hired a canoe from the resort and visited adjoining beaches - very recommended. Resort arranged trips for us at very reasonable rates.

The hotel resort looks nice from the outside. But inside our room, you can tell it’s been used up and needed some TLC. The bathroom towels that we had on the first day had dirt on it. Also the towels were old and faded. Please replace it. The room was big and spacious. On one of the days we had our room made, we got into our room and it smelled like poop. We assumed the house keeper took a poop in our toilet because the lid was down and the smell came from the toilet. Also, our toilet flooded so we had to tell the front desk who apologized. We will not be staying here again even though the beach front view was beautiful.

The housekeeping and pool services were excellent, but not for the front desk gals.

All was good. But no WiFi and no washer dryer as advertised. Bed and location good though and the front desk guy went above and beyond getting my deposit back
