7.6/10 Good! (28 reviews)
The place looks like it’s been refurbished and it’s terrific. Sea view room(11) is great, close to pool, restaurant and beach (though not very swim able due to rocks that we saw on low tide.) Pool is terrific. Service great a about a half hour grab ride into KK. Highly recommend for a laid back stay. We extended our original 2 day stay to 6.

8.8/10 Excellent! (921 reviews)
The rooms were clean and comfortable enough. WiFi is provided. Amenities are available but note that iron is not a steam iron and wasn't in the best condition. Would have preferred hair dryer to be mounted in the toilet for easier access. Tea and coffee were provided as well as basic toiletries. The kettle had bad scaling and I could not use it.
Breakfast came with room price and food was more or less the same daily. At least food was hot unlike some other places I've stayed.
Do not book tours with the hotel concierge. When I asked, I was given another person's contact number who also worked in the hotel. They tried to be helpful but in a very nonchalant attitude. I think they also quoted a high rate for transport to the cultural village. Minus factor is the use of a personal car and not from the hotel which made me quite mad as the interior was disgusting.
Overall close to a big shopping mall and walkable distance to kk waterfront for a walk if you're down for seafood.
Grab is easily accessible.

An unforgettable island paradise! 🌴🐠
Bungaraya Island Resort is truly a special place. The coral reef and marine life are absolutely spectacular — the underwater world is incredibly rich and vibrant, with beautiful corals, colourful tropical fish, and an amazing variety of marine life right on the doorstep. For anyone who loves snorkelling or diving, this is a fantastic destination.
The beaches are gorgeous, with crystal-clear turquoise water, soft sand, and the perfect tropical-island atmosphere. The resort’s location is simply stunning, surrounded by natural beauty and offering that wonderful feeling of being completely away from it all.
What really made our stay even more enjoyable was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely keen to make our experience special. The level of hospitality really added to the charm of the resort.
And the food was excellent, with plenty of delicious options and beautifully prepared meals. Enjoying great food while surrounded by such incredible scenery was a real highlight.
Overall, Bungaraya Island Resort is a true tropical gem. Beautiful beaches, exceptional coral reefs and marine life, wonderful hospitality, delicious food, and an unbeatable island location — everything comes together to make it a place we would happily return to. Highly recommended!
