Koh Ngai Paradise Beach Resort

A very remote place, only one on this beach. On the 25 of nov, there were only 3 bungalows occupied (out of maibe, at least 30). There is a walk of about 20 min to the other side of the Ngai, and also a walk to the viewpoint

Resort emptied of its customers and staff due to Covid, but everything strangely remained in place, including in the rooms. To discover if you like abandoned places.

5 days in Paradise was not enough!

Here’s everything you need to know:

We were a little nervous by the reviews we had seen being that we are usually harsher reviewers than most. But to our surprise we really enjoyed our time here:)

The beach is incredible, not perfectly white fine sand but a beautiful color nonetheless and incredible shallow turquoise water with coral in close reach but far enough to enjoy the calm, warm water especially ideal with children. As like most beaches in the region, the tide can have a big impact on your experience and requires a little bit of planning. No two low tides are the same, some can be quite low where you basically can go for a beautiful walk on the rocks, others can still make for a great swim. The time changes per day but staff are all well informed through an app and can advise you daily so you can plan around it. Remember all the beaches on the other side have the same issue but even more so and at lease the water is always calm here!

The beach is soooo isolated tucked away from everything whereas the other side of the island is property by property. Only once for a short window of time on the weekend we saw a few long tail boats pull up nearby with organized day tours.

The bungalows are beautifully decorated just as seen in the photos. Housekeeping does a great job keeping them clean, and the hot water and air conditioning work perfectly. The only downside is that the rooms are lined up on a straight path moving inland from the beach and main property in chronological order. So if you are in the end 15-30, it can be a bit of a walk back and forth. Luckily, we were moved from room 23 to room 5 with our small child which was a HUGE help.

The swimming pool is clean and a perfect place to be when the tide gets too low. Though it is uncovered so sunscreen is needed during the harsher hours of the day. The restaurant makes some truly delicious food. The menu does not change but is quite extensive between western, eastern, and Thai dishes. Prices are higher than other parts but are still very reasonable. The bartenders make some great drinks and smoothies, some of the best fresh coconuts we’ve ever had too! Dinner seating daily on the beach is such a treat!

They had two play areas for kids and activities available which our daughter absolutely loved.

Most importantly to us: the people were wonderful and kind even if not at the higher standards we are used to. This was our biggest fear when booking but it came clear to us early on that the employees are overworked and understaffed. A sad truth about a lot of resorts in the area and I can understand that they can appear grumpy at times or missing some attention to detail, but they respond to smiles with smiles and to kindness with kindness. We were beyond happy with the service and hope that management will change their ways to make for a better environment for their employees which will ultimately be better for the guests and business.

It's the only resort on this part of the beach so it's very quiet. There is a hiking trail to get to the other part of the island. One of the best place I visited in Thailand. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is no WiFi in the rooms but there is mobile data with DTAC but not with AIS. I highly recommend this resort.

Nice secluded location, private beach, very good food. However staff isn't the most reactive and bathrooms aren't well kept. Overall very nice casual stay.

Very expensive the place is not charming. Too many constructions. The other side of the island is way more beautiful. Very disapointed by this "paradise" beach and resort.

Sehr schöne Zimmer und ein traumhafter Strand, aber verhältnismäßig teuer (ca. 8 € für ein kleines Hauptgericht) und inkompetentes Personal. Die nächsten Hotels und ein Minimarkt sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuß durch den Wald über einen steilen Berg zu erreichen (dort normale thailändische Preise), aber bei 34 Grad überlegt man sich das 4 Mal.

If you want to get served a warm coconut from a rude bartender for 120 baht this is a place to be. Despite that they have ruined the entire area with constructions that are not eco end environment friendly. On the back side full of garbages and wastes from their own hands.

Pricey drinks and food, amazing location. The island isn't very crowded and not touristy. White sand beach, crystal clear water. The sand is a bit tough, but the coral in the water houses some cool fish and sea urchins. The beach is super calm and dotted with almond trees to sit in the shade. Lovely place to visit, perhaps too far removed from towns

Schöne Bungalows und Strand. Jedoch sehr unfreundliches und inkompetentes Personal. Essen dauert ewig und dann bringen sie noch das falsche oder es ist kalt. Selbst für thailändische Verhältnisse sehr schlecht. Preis Leistung ist ebenfalls ungenügend. Jedoch muss man es zahlen da es kein anderes Resort als ausweich Möglichkeit an diesem Strand gibt.
