Beautiful small boutique hotel - we rented 2 villas for our family and enjoyed the beach, nice food in the hotel restaurant and overall ambiance. There is a nice swimming pool in the hotel and you can take a boat or kayak for free if you like.

The hotel is a bit further away than the rest of cafes/ restaurants on the island so you’d need a scooter if you want to travel around. There is a river next to the beach so sometimes when tide is high the water becomes not very clean and there is a lot of rubbish on the water ( plastic, etc) Insects are everywhere (it’s a tropical island..) but they provide some spray in each of the rooms to fight them off, however we did notice some other big things around that we did not expect to see - huge centipede, and a toad on our terrace 🐸

Overall, the experience was positive, but there are a couple of important points to note. Firstly, the new rooms are beautifully designed, but they could benefit from more attention to detail. In the room, there were four hooks and two coat racks, but unfortunately, there is no clothing rack, closet, or shelves available for storage. I requested extra coat racks, which were provided promptly; however, there was nowhere to attach them. This seems to be a significant oversight in the design of these newly built rooms. Additionally, the lack of proper ventilation in the new rooms causes it to become humid quickly, leading to an unpleasant smell. Secondly, while I understand the hotel allows external guests access to the facilities via the public beach, it feels disproportionate compared to the room prices. External guests can even enjoy the pool area, if they purchase just one drink, which leads to a shortage of loungers—there are only 6 (!!!) available around the pool, and none come with parasols for shade. On the beach, there are some (almost empty) "leather" bean bags and sit-up chairs with thick cushions, which are not very comfortable on a hot sunny day. The visitor policy could use some reevaluation, as it detracts from the overall experience for the paying hotelguests! Despite these concerns, the hotel has many positives, such as the friendly service, room decor, and most beautiful surroundings. If the management addresses these issues, this could easily be a top-notch destination.

You can sense how well it’s designed and thought of in every detail, from the choice of colors to decorations to lighting to every small detail to provide you with serene experience. The beach is really good and secluded enough to enjoy nature without noise. The staff is very friendly and genuine in that, you feel like they want to excel in their job. The food is great at the restaurant as well. Special shoutout to Stuar from reception for being very helpful :)

There is not much to say here, but if I would mention improvements I would say having more beanbags or seats by the beach as it could be challenging finding one at some moments free, maybe more frequent cleaning of the beach tables by the sand to avoid the ants climbing on it, and finally some staff members like waiters or reception didn’t speak at all English, this can be challenging when ordering food or asking for help. Little English maybe would be good enough

Location, small occupancy hotel, great food and drinks. Private pool is a must have.

Early restaurant and bar closure in low season. Private pools get switched off before 9pm

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and with many smaller spots to eat not quite up and running for the high season, we were grateful to have such great food just outside our villa. The resort also has its own scooters you can rent, so it’s super convenient and makes it easy to explore this beautiful island.

This is the southernmost beach on the west coast, so some trash does find its way onto the beach, but the majority seems to collect at the opposite end of this pretty beach. The staff, and willing guests, are also diligent about keeping the beach tidy. Everything else was so good, we felt this wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

The perfect place for complete relaxation. Lovely swimming pool and free Kayaks and paddle boards available. Also good snorkelling around the rocks on the beach so plenty of activities to do. There's a nice bar and great breakfast included though didnt try the restaurant for other meals. There are a couple of local places in walking distance along the beach and behind the resort along the river but need transport to get anywhere else.

The staff got a bit confused with the bar bills as we were sitting with other people so make sure you check them as you go along.

The best restaurant service we could imagine. The food was great. We organized our wedding dinner in the restaurant and the staff made really made effort to make us happy. The resort is clean and beautiful as well. It is not the first time we visited the island, but the first to visit Rest Sea Resort, and for sure we are going to visit this great place in future. The price vs quality ratio is good. Thank you for the best stay on Koh Kood.

Relaxed and perfect place to relax. Staff beyond great.

The pool was difficult to get in and out of as there were no steps.

Food was great, location was lovely right on beach with restaurant facing out, had little kanoe boats you can take out for free, room was very comfortable with all amenities and some free snacks which was great plus.. was definitely worth it I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Koh Kood

Some food items missing in restaurant but overall was a great experience there really was not much not to like about my stay

Wow, what a great and restful vacation we had here! We spent 11 nights at the resort and we acctually did not want to leave, even for a scooter drive since it was so peaceful and we really needed the stress-out. We stayed in a room with our own pool and it was really lovely. Despite that, we also spent a lot of time by the big pool, and off-course, the beach. The staff is lovely! so kind and always smiling. Sim, is such a wonderful guy and nothing is to much of a problem for him. He even helped us book massage 3 times, and since there is no massage places close by, he asked them to come to the hotel and so they came and gave us massage in our own bungalo! The beach is lovely and aprx 1000 m long if you like to stroll along it. There is a few other resorts along the beach so you can variate the eating and drinking if you like. However, we really loved and prefered the food and drinks at the hotel, firstly because it was very tastful but secondly because of the staff and the cleaniness. We were on a boat-trip (excursion) one day, which the staff in the reception helped us book. Nothing much about that, some snorkeling, watching the sunset and eating barbeque. But well worth a try if you want to see some other views for a day. This was definatly one of my best vaccations I have had and I travel alot (2-3 times a year at least). We wish all the best to Sim and his staff and would like to thank all of them for making our stay here so magical! /with love Jenny and Thor

The beds are futons and therefor a bit hard. Since we stayed for 11 nights our back got sour but However, the massage helped alot! The cleaning crew did not much of a job. The room was not cleaned well enough and the bed sheets were not changed more than maximum once during our stay. We tried to leave them tip almost every day but no improvement what so ever. The towels however, are changed every day and the complimentary snacks is refilled daily.
