“Simplicity in Paradise”

The staff, the food and the beach itself are INCREDIBLE!!! These things is what makes this place so special and so highly rates. The rooms and grounds are simple but that's all you need in a place such as this where time seems to stand still and you have paradise awaiting you outside of your room. Some of the best food we had in Thailand.

“A friendly and comfortable place on a breathtaking island”

Wow - Koh Kradan and Reef Resort were simply amazing. Given how difficult it can be to find accommodation on the island, this is an excellent option. The room is simple but includes all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay. The staff are attentive, kind, and very helpful, and they all speak good English. The pool area is fantastic, especially when travelling with children. We also enjoyed the restaurant and greatly appreciated the water dispenser, free snorkelling equipment, and the children’s toys available for guests. Overall, it is a very friendly place on a breathtaking island. Highly recommended.

“Fantastic hotel and location. Can’t wait to go back !!”

This is a great place to stay. Wonderful location and excellent facilities. The manager, Genta, is lovely and ensures that all guests are very well looked after. The staff are fabulous.

“The wonderful Reef Resort”

We loved everything about The Reef Resort from arriving at the beach, having our luggage transported to our room and the warm welcome we received there. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful towards guests. It felt completely genuine and we enjoyed our conversations with them. The breakfast was the best we had experienced during our trip. Every morning there was a large buffet with fresh fruit, cakes, yoghurt, croissants, eggs, salad, Thai food, juices etc. Also, the restaurant serves excellent Thai food. I am particularly fussy about Thai food as I lived in Thailand for many years, and this was the real deal. We did try one other place one night on the island, but were disappointed. They have a wonderful cocktail menu and a round bar where guests enjoy sitting around socialising. There was a wonderful atmosphere and many guests were repeat visitors to this resort. The rooms were cleaned daily and free bottles of water were given. In addition there was a water cooler you could fill your bottle with whenever you needed. The resort has kayaks, sup boards, snorkels, masks, flippers, life jackets and water shoes available for free to all guests. Also there are more than enough sun loungers and parasols for all guests. My husband cut his foot on a rock and was immediately helped with taking care of it by the staff. They cleaned it and dressed it for him 3 times until we left! So so kind of them. We absolutely loved it here. The sea is beautiful and the snorkeling further down the beach is gorgeous. We definitely plan to come back. Thank you Genta, Jack and all the staff for making our days there so memorable and special.

Very family and friendly background :)

“Lovely Reef”

I received a really warm welcome from all the team. The resort is intimate but has everything I needed, comfortable room, quiet air-conditioning, lovely bathroom, comfortable bed & pillows. Breakfast was great too, with fresh fruit. I only stayed 3 nights, but it was perfect, with a lovely beach to walk.

I made my engagement there and the resort staff helped me so much to have a wonderful day. The Room and the food were also nice.

“For the second time, an amazing stay!”

There is always a risk of returning to a great place that the place doesn't seem so great the second time around, but the opposite applies to The Reef Resort! We felt even more welcomed and had got even more out of our time on Koh Kradan now when we "came back". Genta and Jack have such an impressive quality of remembering which guests like what even after hosting them once for 1-2 days. Also with other staff members, we noticed how much they paid attention to our likes and dislikes, trying to anticipate our needs and give us the greatest experience possible. We also were impressed by almost all staff members from the year before still being at The Reef Resort which speaks for nearly no turnover. It is really a matter of personal taste: we liked the setup where there is no big noisy entertainment program in the evening, just a round bar in the middle of the resort where everyone is welcome to have a drink, or have a chat, or play a round in a board game. If you travel alone, and wish for some socialisation, this is a perfect setup for engaging with other people without a big effort. The location is (literally) a stone-throw from the reef and the basically the hotel is standing on the beach. There are a few places around that Genta recommends at the check-in (e.g. the best pizza on the island is next door), but the variety of (primarily) Thai dishes at the resort restaurant is so big that this time around we really stayed close "to home" and went all in on seafood and Thai dishes, and not even once was there anything missing in the food we ate. Pad Thai at The Reef Resort remains my personal definition of a great Pad Thai. Just like last time we visited, it was a great value for the price considering the climate around the hotel (it is an island with humid climate), the availability of hotels on Koh Kradan (there are not many), and the fact that everything needs to be brought in by boat.

The staff is amazing friendly and very helpful. The location is perfect as almost no boats come to anchor that far from the pier.

“Excellent stay at The Reef Resort”

Beach Hotel very cosy. Simple but with everything we need . We liked everything during our stay. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have always been helpful and effective. The food at the restaurant is delicious. We liked the fact that there was not TV in the room. Congrats to the staff and management. We will come again

“Cozy stay at the paradise 😍”

Everything was awesome 😍 We wish we can come back one day! -The room: cozy and super clean. -The location and the hotel area: just amazing! -Breakfast and lunch/dinner: delicious. -Hotel crew: Speacial thanks to them. They are friendly and caring people. They made us feel that we were at home. - Unfortunately I had some health problems during the stay. The manager and the team were super helpful in that kind of situation and planned/sorted my way to get the medical assistance I needed.🙏🏻

Everything - the location, the team, the facilities. They provided free kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkels which was fantastic. The location was beautiful- a true highlight of the trip.

“Highlight of our trip to Thailand was staying at the Reef Resort”

Fantastic setting on beach. 18 room Resort so very friendly. Comfortable rooms with sea views. Fantastic and reasonable priced on site restaurant- food was so good we didn’t bother trying anywhere else. Staff were amazing and helpful

Geweldige plek en value for money

“Brilliant. Perfect.”

It was a lovely resort in a lovely location. The staff were unbelievably helpful at all times. Perfect for a very relaxing week. Great food. A real paradise.

Small resort but offering everything you need and for free: kayaks, snorkeling gear (masks, fins even shoes), board games. Air conditioning could be used at any time (not common on this island) Food at the restaurant was excellent. The best Thai food I have eaten in my 2 weeks in Thailand. Cooked locally in a very small kitchen with lots of care. Prices were also comparable to mainland which is incredible considering how remote this island is. Location is perfect: on the quieter side of the long Beach but also strategically located in front of a nice reef (the better reef is within walking distance - 10 minutes)

“Beautiful and laidback resort - great snorkeling - wonderful staff - please don't change!”

- Perfect from A-Z, super friendly and attentive staff - excellent food - rooms are basic but absolutely ok - great location if you like snorkeling and the laidback vibe, slows you down, thankfully not an influencer place - efforts seem to pay off for protecting the reef, great to see this happening and the abundance of fish while snorkeling is just breathtaking

“We miss this place from the first day after check out. Hope to come back there again. Wish all the best to the friendly”

Nice swimming pool and restaurant. Beach and sea just in front of the hotel. A quiet and relaxing place with lots of food options around. More than expected.

“A little piece of paradise”

The best place to stay in all of Thailand. We loved it there. We arrived by speedboat at the pier, 10 minutes from the hotel and our luggage were picked up, while we walked along the sandy, white beach with our feet in the water to the hotel. Were served cold water and juice upon arrival and very friendly staff everywhere. Was given very good guidance in terms of where to go and what to do - e.g., to visit the other part of the island with opportunity to see reef sharks when snorkling, and also to go to Koh Rok for snorkling with prime visibility due to the season (april). The hotel is simple, but beautiful, the rooms too. The atmosphere is kind, relaxing and welcoming. The beach is absolutely stunning, good natural shade by the lush trees, and calm, turquoise water. Lots of fish to see on the reef. Snorkel gear, fins, kayaks, SUPs, life jackets etc is complimentary to use. Also sand toys for the kids, and ooh how they loved to just pick their icecream from the freezer themselves and show it at the bar. Really, really great place!

“World class staff at an island paradise”

It's a great location, with a warm reception from Gentianna and her team. There are 18 rooms around a small pool which is good for kids. The outlook is straight onto the beach and across to Koh Muk. The air and sea temperature in 2025 are lower so the sea conditions have been massively improved on a year ago. The rooms are recently refurbished, with comfortable beds and quiet, efficient AC and ceiling fans. You are on a remote island, so the food is excellent considering the size of the kitchen. The prices are reasonable. Directly next door is a really good Italian restaurant if you fancy a change. There is a bar next to the pool which serves as a social hub. Lots of families with young children. The painted drift wood indicates loyal guests returning, which amplifies what I've said above. The beach runs South for nearly a mile, the last part accessible at low tide. Sunset Beach is small on the West side around 20 mins through tropical forest. We saw reef sharks whilst snorkelling. We can honestly say Koh Kradan is one of the nicest islands in the world let alone the Andaman. Heartily recommended.
