Perfect low key island to escape the crowds
Posted 3 Mar 2024 on HotelsGreat little resort nestled away down a dirt track on this quiet island. Perfect to escape the crowds and make time to explore the rest of the island to experience how most of Thailand was 25 years ago. Dinner on the beach every night was great. Staff very friendly and kept the place clean and tidy. Bungalows getting a bit tired in places but added to the charm. Ours had fantastic sea views towards Phi Phi. The whole place had a very natural feel with a few friendly monkeys keeping you company.
I would recommend cocktails at sunset a short walk up the beach at Onlee Bungalows.
Not a great snorkelling beach but we kayaked down the island where it was a bit better but don’t compare with the other islands.
Hiked up Mount Pu with Ann the local mountain guide. Easy enough to do by yourself if you know the start point and can find your way through the rubber plantations but nice to support the islanders and they provided water, lunch and coffee at the top!
You meet lots of travellers who come back to Ko Jum regularly where you can still get away from the hoardes of people on the more popular islands.
A short picturesque long tail boat ride from Laem Kraut pier on the mainland and about 30 - 40 mins from Krabi airport so very easy to get to.
Hopefully the big 5 star resorts who are looking to develop on the island never do.

This is not the place for people who are accustomed to first class hotels or who like to take cruises where most everything is provided. In particular, it is not for people who are accustomed to complaining when things are imperfect (ants, a mediocre breakfast, etc.). Thai natives do not tolerate confrontation; they are the sweetest, most loving people in the world, and will worry endlessly about one's welfare. But one needs to keep in mind that this and the other resorts on this secluded strip of beach were left without any income during the previous 2 and 1/2 years of Covid. They are now scratching out a living, and doing it with grace and charm, but it's also still a work in progress. My wife and I loved this island, but along with the recent ravages of the pandemic, it is a place that only received widespread electric about 7 years ago. Don't come here if you're seeking Miami or another resort city. Do come if you are still seeking adventure.

A serene, quiet, peaceful slice of paradise off the beaten path! The perfect place to escape crowds, the beach is gorgeous and most of the time we had it all to ourselves! The only noise was the cicadas and the occasional monkey dropping onto our roof 😀! We loved it here, it was heaven!

Not as advertised
Posted 15 Oct 2022 on HotelsArrived and not as advertised. Very remote, very run down - rubbish everywhere, discarded freezers and generally rundown and dirty. Only place to eat is at the hotel restaurant. Food ok, breakfast not good. Bed was like a piece of wood and bedding and towels had stains on. No hot water. We left after one night and got a water taxi to Ao Nang.

Beautiful stay in such a remote paradise!
Posted 11 Dec 2019 on HotelsOur stay was amazing.
It was such a remote beautiful island which meant we had such a relaxed stay! We had the company of the local monkeys all feeding and teasing each other which was incredible to watch from our balcony/and the beach. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, we were always welcomed with a smile.
The only downside is the cockerel tied to the stand which wakes up customers- however, I completely understand that is just a difference in culture and what would be deemed as ‘cruel’ to westerns is completely different to the Thai so I wouldn’t make it an official complaint at all its just something that made me a little uncomfortable. The only other thing was the air con wasn’t that effective, mainly just blowing the warm air around but again I think due to the remoteness of the island and how special it is, this really wasn’t a huge issue as it’s understandable for such a remote paradise. All in all a beautiful stay and we can’t thank you all enough! X
