Spent our second week in Thailand on the amazing, quiet island of Koh Kho Khao at the Amandara Island resort. We booked the grand deluxe bungalow which was set right on the beach...I would highly recommend the extra cash and try and get in a bungalow on the beach (ideally 110-114-we were in 111).
As Grahame, the other review said, a few seconds walk and you have your own private bit of beach!! The Amandara itself is right next to the Koh Kho Khao Island resort which has lots of facilities on your doorstep including a tour centre, spa and mini market...all very reasonably priced.
We bought all our drinks from here and kept them in our mini bar fridge for drinks throughout the day and night!! The restaurant at the resort was very varied, Thai & western food available and we ate at the Amandara & next door, but the menu's were similar. The resort next door was a lot bigger so seemed to have more of an atmosphere.
be aware that the Amndara is mainly a german resort... more
