The best place to stay in all of Thailand. We loved it there. We arrived by speedboat at the pier, 10 minutes from the hotel and our luggage were picked up, while we walked along the sandy, white beach with our feet in the water to the hotel. Were served cold water and juice upon arrival and very friendly staff everywhere. Was given very good guidance in terms of where to go and what to do - e.g., to visit the other part of the island with opportunity to see reef sharks when snorkling, and also to go to Koh Rok for snorkling with prime visibility due to the season (april). The hotel is simple, but beautiful, the rooms too. The atmosphere is kind, relaxing and welcoming. The beach is absolutely stunning, good natural shade by the lush trees, and calm, turquoise water. Lots of fish to see on the reef. Snorkel gear, fins, kayaks, SUPs, life jackets etc is complimentary to use. Also sand toys for the kids, and ooh how they loved to just pick their icecream from the freezer themselves and show it at the bar. Really, really great place!

It's a great location, with a warm reception from Gentianna and her team. There are 18 rooms around a small pool which is good for kids. The outlook is straight onto the beach and across to Koh Muk. The air and sea temperature in 2025 are lower so the sea conditions have been massively improved on a year ago. The rooms are recently refurbished, with comfortable beds and quiet, efficient AC and ceiling fans. You are on a remote island, so the food is excellent considering the size of the kitchen. The prices are reasonable. Directly next door is a really good Italian restaurant if you fancy a change. There is a bar next to the pool which serves as a social hub. Lots of families with young children. The painted drift wood indicates loyal guests returning, which amplifies what I've said above. The beach runs South for nearly a mile, the last part accessible at low tide. Sunset Beach is small on the West side around 20 mins through tropical forest. We saw reef sharks whilst snorkelling. We can honestly say Koh Kradan is one of the nicest islands in the world let alone the Andaman. Heartily recommended.

Leaving :-( We will be back.

Staff was exceptional. Top notch professionals, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Very good food. I tried many dishes and they were all delicious and high quality. Perfect water, beach, free kayak / paddle boards. Very relaxing environment. Rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. You won’t spend much time in the room regardless. Be aware the reef directly in front of the hotel is now closed to snorkeling due to major bleaching/ die off from warm waters this year. If you walk to the south end of the island to the swimming area past the boat dock there is very good snorkeling. It’s about a 10 minute walk. I really loved this resort and will cherish the memories forever! I hope this island never changes (with exception of the reef recovering its health.)

Everything was perfect. Be aware the resort provides 2 small bottles of water each day, additional are 30 bhat each.

We loved everything! Genta and Jack are exceptional hosts. They organised everything for us, transfers, trips and lots of good recommendations. This island is stunning! Cristal clear water, good snorkelling and not busy like so many other islands. The room was comfortable, breakfast was good and meals at the restaurant were great. They have kayaks, snorkelling equipment and paddle boards that you can borrow as well as a great selection of board games. This was our first stay but we are already planning our next visit.

Nothing- it was all amazing!

This place is truly paradise on Earth. We’ve visited Thailand three times, stayed at five-star resorts across different islands, but nothing compares to the incredible experience of being fully immersed in nature like we were here. The hotel is beautiful and impeccably clean, the staff are super kind, and the warmth of their hospitality makes you feel right at home. With the beach just steps from your room, it felt like a dream—I never wanted to leave.

This is one of our favorite islands and definitely our favorite resort on the island! It was friendly and had an excellent breakfast, wonderful friendly staff, and I would highly recommend! They had several people come from other resorts who were complaining about their resort, specifically seven seas. Island is gorgeous!! Try the coconut ice cream!

Absolutely amazing experience! So many perks upon arrival, they picked us up from the pier, they brought us back for the departure, everything is tip-top organized. The place itself is arranged with so much love and care, the staff is kind and friendly. Everything in the room, such as AC, WC, shower, ventilators worked perfectly fine for us. Anytime again!

We loved everything! There is a consideration to remember that Ko Kradan is a remote island, so some things are just not available 24/7 on demand.

We had a perfect holiday at the Reef Resort. Management and staff are very attentive and we had the impression that they have a good atmosphere among the team. When the staff is happy and relaxed, it is easy to feel welcome. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and the aircon was working well and not too loud. The bathroom is outside, which for us was suitable for a remote island where almost everything happens outside. The resort provided us with snorkeling masks that were clean and worked well. They also provide kayaks and SUPs for their guests. They have a small restaurant on the beach. The view is just stunning. Breakfast buffet was included and considering the fact that they have to carry everything from the mainland by boat there was a good choice of food (toast, croissants, asian warm dishes, eggs, pancakes, fruit, granola, yoghurt, bacon and sausages, and probably more things that I forgot). As the manager Genta is Italian, they also serve a good and strong coffee. The Thai dishes they serve for lunch and dinner were all very tasty and the vegetables were fresh. Other restaurants on the island also used canned vegetables instead, therefore I mention it. There are not many vegetarian dishes on the menu, but they could prepare almost all the dishes also in a vegan or vegetarian way. The resort also offers day trips to neighboring islands which are operated by their own staff. We went to Kho Rok and to the Emerald Cave at Kho Muk. Both trips were very much worth it and everything was well organized. We also had booked the transfer from Trang and back via the resort. Everything was on time and went smoothly, we would do that again. The other guests at the resort were quite relaxed. There were both Thai and Western guests which I liked. There were families and couples, everybody enjoying themselves but without being too noisy or disturbing others. That made me especially like the atmosphere of the whole place.

For us it was a perfect place, because it is quiet and relaxed. But if you are looking for parties and entertainment, than this island will be too remote and somewhere else will be more suitable.

Just the perfect location in one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand, right on the beach and a little far from the main disembarkation point for the tourist day trips. Kayak available for free. The staff is just lovely, kind and very helpful. The restaurant of the Reef Resort is one of the best places to eat in Koh Kradan. This resort is the perfect place to relax and completely disconnect!

Overall it's maybe a bit too pricey, but as every structure on Koh Kradan.

Staff were amazing, always on hand. The resort (as all resorts are on koh kradan) is right next to the beach. Rooms are spacious and clean with a bathroom to the rear with a rain shower. Air con in room was very good and quiet. Kayaks and paddle boards free for guests. Snorkeling on the reef was amazing, saw so many different fish you can more or less walk out to the reef from the resort. The island is breathtaking, primary rainforest in the middle, the sounds were fantastic. Food was really good with a very wide selection, the tom yum soup was delicious.

Resort was very busy when we were there, the wait for food on both nights was well over an hour from ordering. Other resorts on the island don't do evening meals so the reef resort does get busy. Although they do prioritize guests, there were some very large groups when we were there who were fed first, hence the wait. The resort is getting up and running properly after a severe downturn because of the pandemic. The only blot on the island landscape was the plastic. Plastic litter almost everywhere on the island. We walked over the other side past the abandoned paradise lost resort and the plastic washed up there was incredible, surely the authorities should prioritize keeping such a natural gem clear of plastic debris.
