Koh Ngai Paradise Beach

Das ist wirklich das Paradies. Der Strand ist atemberaubend schön, das Hotel und die Zimmer sind sauber und das Personal ist freundlich und einladend. Wir sind begeisterte Schnorchler und waren schon auf vielen Inseln Thailands und das Hausriff hier ist unglaublich! So viele Fischarten und riesige Schwärme! Auch die Korallen sind atemberaubend. Dies ist ein Hotel abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade mit allem Luxus. Sie können hierher nur mit dem Boot gelangen und bei Ebbe müssen Sie möglicherweise 30 Minuten über die Insel laufen. Dies ist bei weitem unser Lieblingsort.

Ein herrliches Hotel auf einer majestätischen Insel, saubere Zimmer, schöner Strand, recht großes und sauberes Schwimmbad. Aufmerksames Personal, gutes Essen, es ist sehr gut, vor allem thailändisch, das Frühstück ist sehr begrenzt und eintönig, keine Rücksicht auf Nicht-Schweinefleischesser und Vegetarier, kein frischer Saft. Wenn Sie in einem Restaurant einen frischen Saft bestellen, fügt der Barkeeper immer Industriesaft hinzu, was wirklich schade ist.

This is a lovely hotel, really well managed and in a stunning location. As other reviews mention, it can be difficult to get to the hotel because of it's isolated location and the need to take a boat from the main beach on Koh Ngai where you get dropped off but this is usually pre-arranged by the boat company that you use to get to the island. It's only accessible at high tide and that's when they schedule you to arrive. The journey is well worth it because Paradise Beach itself is stunning. The hotel consists of a number of lovely Bungalows on stilts. These Bungalows are not huge but big enough to be comfortable, with a nicely decked patio overlooking the immaculate gardens and the mountain forest in the background. Beds are big and a little firm but comfortable. Bathrooms are nice and water pressure is good. A small hanging rail, tea and coffee making facilities and some storage options. Aircon works really well. The TV is nice but there is only one channel that has anything other than Thai channels. Using any kind of streaming device is not possible because there is no WiFi in the rooms and, due to the hotel being located on the other side of a big hill to the radio tower, there is no phone internet either. The rooms are modern and spotlessly clean. WiFi is only available in the restaurant or beach bar. The restaurant is nice, food is good but a little more expensive than the mainland. Breakfast is pretty good but don't expect a full english! The resort pool is lovely and, again, spotlessly clean, as is the whole resort. Staff at the resort are really nice and do everything they can to make sure you have a lovely stay. Most of the time resort guests get the beautiful beach all to themselves and we found ourselves alone on the beach a few times. Snorkelling from the beach is not bad, lots of coral but not much colour, and a reasonable variety of fish. Between midday and 3pm the beach gets a little busier because of the tour boats bringing groups in. There is a jungle path from Paradise Beach to the main beach area which they tell you is a 20 minute walk with a small hill but it isn't. It is a difficult trail, single track, through pretty dense jungle and not maintained in any way. The hill is quite a climb. On one side this involves stepping over fallen branches and jungle debris that could be hiding any kind of jungle critters, on the other side is a short, treacherous climb/decent, and the whole journey is plagued with Mosquitos. We went from Paradise Beach to the main beach and were pretty exhausted when we eventually got there, not to mention absolutely covered in big bites! We ended up getting a longtail boat back rather than putting ourselves through the trek again. All in all, this is a great resort if you want a break away from the world or just to spend some relaxing time on a beautiful beach. I would have given this place a 5 star review if it wasn't for the lack of wifi, and therefore the lack of TV, in the rooms. Eveni

We booked 2 nights here as a luxury treat and we weren’t disappointed, rooms great, very friendly staff, everywhere was so clean lovely pool, although it got a little warm later in the day 🤣 breakfast was fantastic, delicious help yourself buffet and also American breakfast choice, eggs sausage. It’s very quiet and food a little more expensive than on the main beach. But we did find a small local bar/cafe 5 mins walk away than did delicious food and a fish BBQ on request
