Koh Thmei Resort

This resort is very well run by the owners. It has a lovely community feel and the facilities are all you need for this remote and peaceful island. Highly recommend coming to this island paradise for a complete blissfull and relaxing stay. Life is simple here and a real change of pace. You will be well fed and looked after well.

This island is completely what expected and more. There wasn't anything not to like.

The wooden houses are super nice, very simple yet beautifully designed, right next to the beach. The property stands alone, having no “neighbor” properties around which ensures your sense of privacy and safety. Kavita and Michael seem to be very nice, interesting, organized and supportive people; they will take care of you and your needs.

Wi-fi very limited and working some hours in the day; probably we weren’t that ready to face that “challenge”. The beach is not that clean and snorkeling is not good; the underwater world is almost non-existing. Both the Wi-Fi and the water quality is not something one can blame the hosts about; as we reckon our stay we find the room a bit overpriced though.

There are few places where you can relax well, and this resort is one of them. The equipment is the simplest possible, and at the same time there is everything you need.

I’ve travelled to a lot of places, many of which claim to offer what Koh Thmei resort offers - a sense of leaving civilisation behind, full immersion in nature and all the peace which comes with it. In my opinion, if this is what you are looking for, you should look no further than Koh Thmei Resort. Nestled in the jungle on a near completely uninhabited island, you really feel like you’ve totally escaped civilisation to live a castaway dream. Most magical, dream like place I’ve visited in my years’ of travelling. You can spend the days swimming in the bath-warm water, hiking through the jungle, eating delicious food or just lying in a hammock looking at the unbelievable view. Kavita and Michael have truly created something magical !

Everything about koh Thmei Resort was perfect. It had everything you needed to enjoy the peace, quiet and beautiful setting. Lovely food, vegans were catered for. Lovely hosts, very friendly and helpful. They have worked so hard to provide a place that provides its own energy sustainably with conscious approaches to having as low an impact as possible on the lovely environment. So interesting to see what they have achieved. They are an inspiration.

Nothing

Koh Thmei Resort was exactly what we wanted after travelling and sight seeing for a month in Cambodia. We were worried about the speed of change and development on some islands and therefore not knowing what we would be confronted with. Koh Thmei is properly off the beaten track and quite basic on a virtually deserted, undeveloped island. The journey there by the hotels boat is from a small, authentic fishing village. With just 8 bungalows we enjoyed a very quiet and relaxing few days filled with reading, swimming, board games, jigsaws, chatting to the owners, small group of staff and fellow guests or watching amazing sunsets followed by the flying foxes leaving the jungle each evening. The food is absolutley delicious and has a good selection for vegetarians. We loved it and felt like a part of a family by the time we left. We even enjoyed the fact that Wi-Fi is very limited.

Nothing

The resort's location on the island is very remote, which makes the experience feel novel and peaceful. There are not too many rooms, so it is not very busy with lots of tourists. The food is very good and the service is great. The bungalows are comfortable and large. The nearest beaches are kept as clean as possible by the owners.

Getting to the island itself for us was not a relaxing experience - the boat journey was very stressful, as it was very choppy and the crossing takes 45 minutes from the fishing village. There is no other way to the island however, so you just need to be lucky with the weather and keep your valuables hidden away for the duration of the journey. The journey back was a bit better for us. Overall, we could have been very unlucky with our boat crossings, but feel it is important to note that this is the only way you can reach the island. Make sure the driver wraps you in waterproof material, to be safe both ways.
