Koh Jum Resort

Room and the all hotel is so old. And not maintained well. From room door to windows are not functioning as they should be. No nets at the windows so the insects are welcomed to the rooms. Staff is very friendly but the resort needs for a renewal. We won’t go back again.

A little piece of paradise.

This was a very rural and quiet place. I had no idea where we were going. The view was breath taking. The staff were great and the customer service was great. There is one restaurant and everything closed at 9:00pm. They had a pool but the location of the resort is steps from the beach. If you want rest and relaxation, this is the place for you. Definitely not walkable. Getting here was a challenge but my husband and I loved it.

This is a piece is insanely stunning. Super chilled and you so relaxing. Food superb.

Peaceful

Great little resort nestled away down a dirt track on this quiet island. Perfect to escape the crowds and make time to explore the rest of the island to experience how most of Thailand was 25 years ago. Dinner on the beach every night was great. Staff very friendly and kept the place clean and tidy. Bungalows getting a bit tired in places but added to the charm. Ours had fantastic sea views towards Phi Phi. The whole place had a very natural feel with a few friendly monkeys keeping you company. I would recommend cocktails at sunset a short walk up the beach at Onlee Bungalows. Not a great snorkelling beach but we kayaked down the island where it was a bit better but don’t compare with the other islands. Hiked up Mount Pu with Ann the local mountain guide. Easy enough to do by yourself if you know the start point and can find your way through the rubber plantations but nice to support the islanders and they provided water, lunch and coffee at the top! You meet lots of travellers who come back to Ko Jum regularly where you can still get away from the hoardes of people on the more popular islands. A short picturesque long tail boat ride from Laem Kraut pier on the mainland and about 30 - 40 mins from Krabi airport so very easy to get to. Hopefully the big 5 star resorts who are looking to develop on the island never do.

This is not the place for people who are accustomed to first class hotels or who like to take cruises where most everything is provided. In particular, it is not for people who are accustomed to complaining when things are imperfect (ants, a mediocre breakfast, etc.). Thai natives do not tolerate confrontation; they are the sweetest, most loving people in the world, and will worry endlessly about one's welfare. But one needs to keep in mind that this and the other resorts on this secluded strip of beach were left without any income during the previous 2 and 1/2 years of Covid. They are now scratching out a living, and doing it with grace and charm, but it's also still a work in progress. My wife and I loved this island, but along with the recent ravages of the pandemic, it is a place that only received widespread electric about 7 years ago. Don't come here if you're seeking Miami or another resort city. Do come if you are still seeking adventure.

Great place to stay! Great small island! Very friendly and nice staff and owner! Highly recommended!!! You can enjoy island on a motorbike and see real local life!

A serene, quiet, peaceful slice of paradise off the beaten path! The perfect place to escape crowds, the beach is gorgeous and most of the time we had it all to ourselves! The only noise was the cicadas and the occasional monkey dropping onto our roof 😀! We loved it here, it was heaven!

Great stay

Arrived and not as advertised. Very remote, very run down - rubbish everywhere, discarded freezers and generally rundown and dirty. Only place to eat is at the hotel restaurant. Food ok, breakfast not good. Bed was like a piece of wood and bedding and towels had stains on. No hot water. We left after one night and got a water taxi to Ao Nang.

Very nice resort. nice cabana although looks a bit outdated. Bathroom need refurbishing. Friendly and nice staff

Our stay was amazing. It was such a remote beautiful island which meant we had such a relaxed stay! We had the company of the local monkeys all feeding and teasing each other which was incredible to watch from our balcony/and the beach. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, we were always welcomed with a smile. The only downside is the cockerel tied to the stand which wakes up customers- however, I completely understand that is just a difference in culture and what would be deemed as ‘cruel’ to westerns is completely different to the Thai so I wouldn’t make it an official complaint at all its just something that made me a little uncomfortable. The only other thing was the air con wasn’t that effective, mainly just blowing the warm air around but again I think due to the remoteness of the island and how special it is, this really wasn’t a huge issue as it’s understandable for such a remote paradise. All in all a beautiful stay and we can’t thank you all enough! X

Great staff good atmo location not ideal

Lovely resort, great location for watching beautiful sunsets. Friendly staff and great food.

My girlfriend and I stayed there for 6 nights. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the resort as well as the natural beauty of the resort itself. The road needs a bit of work. lol. Is to be expected on a small island. A scooter was available to rent which worked well, and the brakes worked which was a bonus. There are washing machines along the road like little gas stations. The food was fresh and tasted good. All the staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. There is an abundance of wildlife on the island. I was outside the Teak Room having a smoke when we both heard a crash from inside he room, only to see the three monkeys that were trashing our room, taking off out the side door we left open. Lots of iguanas too. Some big. Some small. And cats...all friendly people-person cats.

Loved how quiet the resort is, reminded me of phi phi before the tsunami and the mass tourism. For an island the prices are very reasonable and a great range of food available , the massages are fabulous. The staff are quiet and reserved but very helpful and efficient. Excursions are available but we didn’t partake. Loved our treehouse room and the air conditioning was a bonus

To get to the resort, you have to ride on a small dirt road. There are a few other resorts located on the same beach, a bar and two abandoned bars/restaurants. The beach itself is ok, but the water was not very clear and the sea floor is full of rocks (not very pleasant). The staff of the resort was friendly and kind. The room was not good. First of all, there were holes in the wall in the bathroom. We tried to patch it up with toilet paper to prevent the mosquitoes from getting in. The bed was too stiff. There was blood on the mosquito-net. Also, we were waken up in the morning by cars. There is a construction site just beside the resort. The was ok, although a bit boring. The breakfast was also ok, but everything is riddled with flies. All in all, we decided to check out a day early even though our three nights were pre-paid. I would recommend you go to Koh Lanta instead.

Beautiful sea views from the verandas and accessible beach. Long rough lane to the rest of the island so not ideal for exploring on foot. Probably best to hire a motorbike

This stay Air conditioning is not cold. Leaky room roof The dim light can not see the water in the room. And bathroom ladder Breaking equipment material has not been resolved.
