Ko Kut Ao Phrao Beach Resort

While exploring Koh Kood on our scooters, we made a quick stop at Ao Phrao Beach and took a brisk beach walk from the one end to the other (1.5km). It was really quiet with only one more couple on the beach. There are a few resorts, but all was quiet and no guests in sight. The beach was clean and lovely white sand, the ocean looked good for swimming too.

Lots of Russian tourists here but once the big group left it was quite pleasant. The beach was very beautiful and there was lots of snorkeling and beach bumming to be had. Loved that there was a shack near the beach to get fresh mixed drinks as well as canned drinks. Accommodations were simple but clean. The restaurant was OK and the breakfast was nothing special and after a few days we couldn't wait to get back to the mainland and find the nearest hamburger we could get our hands on but that's just my style haha. Overal it was a great place to stay once the groups had left.

Only russians.all the signs are in russian. No friendly staff. Poor accomodation for to much money. No beach view at most beach view huts. Food is nothing special. A lot of trash around the place. Nice beach but early in the morning every bed is already taken. Stay away if you're not Russian!!!

Location is very good and quite , clear sea and white sand but sand is not white as Koh Samed. Service is not good enough, staff did not attend to guest. They brought their kid here and it is very noisy as their kid always cry. Staff here is like their own business and did not smile at all. The price is quite high but reasonable. They will charge for 3rd person at THB 1,500 without telling you before, but this charge we can manage.

I was not impressed with this place at all, first of all the personnel just gave the impression that everything was too much for them, food served cold and very long faces - not the typical friendly smile that I am used to - this could possibly have something to do with coping with the loud russians who stayed there - it must be exhausting for them long term. I personally found them to be too loud, not caring about the privacy of other guests and most were rude. It was like being in a time wharp from the 70's watching them with their weird clothing and massive flowers in their hair - in fact my partner said it was better entertainment watching them than Billy Smarts Flying Circus!! Not a place to go to if you are looking for a peaceful holiday I'm afraid :-(

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.
