Ko Poda Trip

Location. Thank goodness for GPS! But not terrinle far from beach and pier etc. Rooms were karge. Ac worked good. Water was hot. Fridge came in handy. Pool was clean. Monkeys on the roof were a bit noisy.

We stayed here for a few nights as our base to explore phi phi island and hong island etc. Our room was very clean as was the entire property which is super beautiful. Food was average at best. The breakfast was a 2/5 and did not meet standards compared to every other 5 star resort we’ve stayed at in Thailand. Service was slow. A few things to make note of. It bothered us when we requested an extra couple pods for the coffee machine and we were told we would get charged 80 baht for them even though the pods were free. We stayed in the premium ocean view rooms and I would advise against unless you are Muslim. The call to prayer which we had no idea about woke us up at 5 o’clock in the morning every morning. It was so loud that we thought the speakers were on the property below our balcony. Definitely bring earplugs if you are staying in building seven. This happens multiple times a day, but being woken up abruptly at five in the morning was not pleasant. Ear plugs should be provided. We understand this is their religion and have zero issues with this but an FYI would be nice. Don’t splurge on the nicer view rooms if this bothers you. The beach club across the street had a fun vibe. We enjoyed dinner there and it was great !

The staff and environment was exceptional! The location was very good, really close to ao nang but out of the craziness and touristy spot of ao nang. The only reason this wasnt a 5 star review was that it was a little outdated and the WiFi was sometimes a little slow, however everything worked and we would revist this place if we were ever back.

We had a lovey stay at the hotel, it just needed updating. The breakfast was brilliant and the location was fantastic, perfect side to watch a sunrise and very short walk to watch it set on the West side. Rooms were the small problem, it just needs investment as all a little dated. Staff were incredibly helpful and lovely.

Location was great - close to the beach and walking street, room was clean -well laid out and beds were comfortable with a nice sized balcony. We were in a quad room for 4 people and worried about how tight the space might be, but there was ample room to move around and enough space and seating for all 4 of us on the balcony. Two large beautiful pools to enjoy, the roof top infinity pool had a lovely view. Had lunch at the rooftop restaurant and the food was very very good, would recommend. There is a water refill station in the lobby with cold drinking water which was well used by our group. Complimentary breakfast buffet with our booking, but we didn't get up in time to sample. Overall a positive experience, would stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
