The Ao Phrao Beach Resort sits on a stretch of perfect beach. It is the only resort in the bay along a beach of pure sand, palm fringed, with jungle covered hills rising beyond. Simply paradise! The resort itself is beautifully set out amidst tall palm trees with lovely gardens and good sized, clean bungalows. Staff are very friendly (do not speak much English though) and can arrange daytrips snorkelling or visiting the waterfalls on the island. Kayaks are available for free to explore the bay.

There are some Buts though. First, the beach beyond the stretch occupied by the resort is actually quite dirty, gathering up whatever passing boats abandon into the sea (shan't give much detail here). It's a great shame they don't look after this. Second, this is not the place for you if you need any distraction such as shopping, bars, clubs, or even a choice of restaurants. Finally, just something to bear in mind is that the resort caters mostly to Thai and Russian package tourists, so you may not find too many individual travellers with whom to share thoughts on travel itineraries etc.

Generally, a lovely resort on a beautiful beach.

This is the ultimate place to stay in Koh Kut! There is a long, white sandy beach with shallow water. Perfect for kids! We stayed in a Sea view hut (family of four) and there we had much space and it was clean and nice. The matrasses were the best we ever tried in Thailand!
The resort has a laid back atmosphere with a generous personal touch. Always water, ice, tea and coffe available for free at the restaurant and the kajacs at the beach were available for no charge. The manager was very friendly and gave such personal service as jungel-guiding. He was always helpful and interested in his guests well-being. The garden is exceptionally wonderful and spacious. The restaurant serves excellent thai food and we always got our dinner or lunch at the same time all four of us. We all missed the place when we had to leave after 5 days.
