Guest Reviews
- Lance (2/5): IDIOTS! - Are you for real! I book this hotel with hotels.com and when we arrived via taxi and long tail boat the place had been closed for more than a year. The boat left and we was stranded on this island for over 2 hot hours without water.. Just a big bloody THANK YOU! hotels.com for ruining our perfect 3 day romantic break. WELL DONE
- geridraugai (10/5): The rest in the nature - It is the best place , if you want silence and nice images. The order in the hotel is exelent. It is not exepensive for everybody. There is a very nice and clean water pool in the area too. Breakfast is for everybody very good.if you want to have a nice swiming in the sea, you can go about 150 m to the right , infront of the primary school. In the hotel area you can see Hornbill birds, they are very atractive.
- kathrinemargrethe (10/5): Just amazing - Amazing hotel with a beautiful view. You get a lot for the money. Sweet little Cabin with sea view and a jungle a few meters away from the cabin. Sweet cats and Nice staff. We decided To stay an extra Night. So peacefull and relaxing out here
- DeniKirilova (8/5): Very beautiful and isolated small heaven - We are a couple and stayed there 9 days. It was very beautiful, relaxing and exotic place. The nature is awesome, you feel like you are in the jungle. However, keep in mind that the villas at the beach are old furnitured, cleas but old. There are some small snakes around the villa, but they are scary. There is only one restaurant and if you stay for a lon period, you will get bored of the menu. However the food is very delicious and fresh. The ladies at the place are very nice and friendly, always trying to please you. I recommend the place for not longer than 4-5 days, unless you are looking for complete relaxation. There is a regular boat to Phuket, you can get there for 10-15 min. and come back during the day. We enjoyed our escape there and want to thank the stuff. Denitsa and Yavor
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Lon İsland İst eşine wunderschöne insel. Wenn Sie Ruhe haben wollen es ist genau richtig. ABER, sie müssen damit rechnen,dass sie Nachmittag nicht schwimmen können. Weil, Meeres Wasser geht zurück. Man kann nicht schwimmen. Erst Nächste Tag in der Früh sieht Meer normal aus. (Wenn sie Glück haben😉)
- vinonymous (8/5): A true paradise island - The island is quiet, there is no nightlife and no busy streets, no shops and the power turns of from 11am-5pm. You can take the hotels own kayak and explore the little island close to Ko Lon. Which also is a beautiful little place. If you are looking to escape busy Phuket and the tourists, this is your place to go! My partner and I stayed in the resort for 4 nights. The bungalow was absolutely amazing our bed had a mosquito net around it so we were pretty save from any kind of bugs We had an outside bathroom what was really nice too and clean. The toilet seat was a little old and loose but totally okay. The staff is kind and lovely, however a little bit slow, but you get a hang of it, as the island itself is very relaxing and you too get slower in everything. The only thing that annoyed us a little bit is if you go into the restaurant and order you food, one of you gets it at least 5-10 minutes later than the other one. The food was moderate and the cocktails were nice. And one thing was a little bit annoying too, we arrived on a Friday which seems to be a very religious day as we heard the muezzin „singing“ at least 4-5 times a day, one of it being at 5:20am for 15 minutes straight. But after that, we never heard anything again. I would totally visit that island again, as it is really quiet with only a few people on it.
- Omar (8/5): - Nice isolated location perfect for relaxing on the beach in the sun and quick boat ride to the mainland
- Alana (6/5): Lacking the finish expected - Despite cleanliness issues a comfortable though basic stay, expect 50% of the advertised facilities. The food was a mostly good but didn't not match the price associated and most notably there is no swimming beach at this resort.
- ak_fr33r (6/5): Okay - Lone Island is a pretty spot that is away from the buzz of Phuket. If you are after a very simple quiet stay this is perfect. The facilities are a bit worn and the staff are okay. The room was not quite what we expected but I think we had the photos of the bungalows in mind but booked something different. The bungalows look nice.
- Zazoo212 (10/5): Away from massive tourists ! Little paradise ! - Baan Mai is located on an isolated island, 15 min by long tailed boat. This place is really stunning due to the wild nature in the background and the beach just in front of your bungalow ! Lucky us that there was no tumult/ party to just calm down and enjoy pure silence in front of the sea!! We were welcomed so warmly by the lady and our room completely fulfilled our expectation : a very nice bed with a canopy and a bathroom within the nature. Taking a shower, hearing the hornbills in the morning, feeling the air and the sun ray on your skin, what else ? If you want to avoid “party noisy pukhet”, I strongly recommend Ko Lon to really re-charge your battery and find peace in your soul! PS: you are in Thailand, in such a gorgeous, ethnic colorful, tasteful, cultural country ! Just make the best of it !
- R2405MDgaryt (6/5): Last min stay - We had a Greta night here after we paddleboarded across from Phuket. We hadn’t planned to stay, paddled to the island and decided to have a night on the beach. Rooms are basic but the view and setting is fantastic, if you want quite and remote this is the place. Food was 10/10 and staff were very accommodating.
- hendrikholling (10/5): Trank you so much for the great stay! - It was a lovely little island and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the staff was super nice. We had the chance to make our own hat out of banana leafs, that was really nice. We will recommend this island to our friends and would love to come back to baan mai. Thank you so much for the nice stay!
- 475arryb (8/5): A place of generous spirit.. - We stopped unexpectedly at this lovely resort due to our boat breaking down, and the lovely bar staff gave us a few drinks for free (we didn’t have any money with us!) to look after us while it was repaired. This was a lovely generosity, and the manager insisted that the drinks were complimentary, despite my attempts to pay later on. Seems like a kind, simple, beautiful place..
- emeseolli (10/5): Peaceful escape in paradise - We stayed in this beautiful place for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. Our bungalow was right on the seafront and we fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves. I mean, if that doesn't relax you, I don't know what does! We were there in off peak season, so we were the only guest for a few days, but even when other guests arrived it was super peaceful as there is so much space and the whole island has this chilled vibe. The food was delicious, we even had some fresh coconut from the tree next to the swimming pool. There were quite a few cats around as well, which for me was an extra, as I love them and they were so friendly. One of the locals took up for octopus hunting in the shallow water and there were some bikes we could borrow to ride around the island.We also saw big lizards, tropical birds and many crabs on the beach. If you want a holiday away from the noise of our modern but super busy world, this place is a perfect getaway.
- alison (10/5): Brilliant weekend away from Phuket - Brilliant service from the team here! Made the most memorable weekend for my daughter and grandchildren to celebrate my birthday! The team did everything they could to make our stay fantastic. Fabulous food, great drinks and attentive service. They even organised a birthday cake and gift which was such a delightful surprise. Family friendly
- nantapat90 (8/5): Nantapat - Location : The location is very good due to not far from the center of the city and spend time from airport about 45-60 min. Depeant on traffics on that time. The sea is in front at the hotel and in island has only two hotel that mean is very quiet, if you like it stay far from the other people. Room : My type room is front beach, the bed is comfortable but air-condition is too loud and the open air bath room so quite dark at night, but overall it ok. Food : This island is no shop or any convenience store, so the only option is in the hotel. During i am liveing in the hotel about 5 meal, food is very delicious and fresh but it is not various. Service : I am book by tripadvisor, one day before i check in, the reception hotel recommend what time is good to cross from the city to island. Conclude : Worth with the money that i spend for 3Day 2Night and if you like to stay far awary to other people and not far center of Phuket i recomment you to go and if i have opportunity, i will be back this hotel ;)
- Vondula1 (2/5): Paradise Lost - We first visited Baan Mai in 2011 with a group of friends and liked it so much we returned seven years later with a smaller group. Unfortunately, the place has had no up keep in that time. We had booked for seven nights and ended up only staying three as it was intolerable. It was disappointing that we forfeited $160/night. The beachfront rooms were riddled with termites with their dust settling over everything including our toothbrushes. The door and fly screen door do not open and close without significant effort, the curtains are so old they are almost brittle and do not close properly, the mosquito net was so dusty we had to tuck it away as the smell was terrible. On our second day we were asked if we wanted the room cleaned, we said just towels will do which we never got and we weren’t asked again. There are cats everywhere and whilst they help with the rat population they laze in the restaurant including on the tables that you eat from (and in the kitchen). The pool is green. Yes, it has green tiles but there is visible algae settled on the steps and sides. It is not properly maintained as they suggest. It was the same in 2011 though. The pool lounges are so old and dirty they are unusable. There are coconut trees everywhere which look nice but they do not remove the coconuts so they drop sporadically posing a serious safety issue. The worst thing however is that they turn the power off just after breakfast each day to save money on generator fuel ,about 9am, and don’t turn it on again until 5pm. Therefore no aircon and no fridge AND no running water as the water pump needs power. When we were there the pump broke so we had no water in the evening. They let the guests share a shower which somehow still had some water. My husband and I take regular medicine which all went soft as it was so humid and no aircon or fridge to keep it cool. One of our friends had their aircon break down in the middle of the night. After sweating all night they were moved the next day. They claim to be 4 star, I think 1 star is being generous. On a positive note, the food is nice home cooking. Maow (one of the two sisters operating the place) does a commendable effort in preparing and cooking the food. The beds are very comfortable. Lone Island is very quiet and untouched so great if that’s what you want. Just make sure you don’t pay more than about $60-$80, as that’s all it’s worth and be prepared to rough it a bit. Don’t forget your beach shoes as there is a lot of dead coral. The place needs some serious money spent on it to bring it up to even a three star standard. They also need to monitor and respond to emails.
- Robyn (6/5): Room for improvement - We booked and paid for 6 nights but we only stayed for 3, which was rather disappointing as we paid 5 star price. The rooms are very tired, they turned the power off daily between 8am and 5pm, we had no running water during the day, including for toilet and if you scored hot water at night that was a bonus. The coconut trees were laiden with old coconuts which naturally fall and they are all along the paths, very scary. The pool had green slime all over the bottom, so no pool swimming for us. The concept is great, the beach is lovely, the island is gorgeous, the food was delicious. The staff try hard and were really lovely. This destination has so much potential, the owners just need to spend a few dollars. They could and should be delivering the best unique experience in Phuket. I would recommend the experience but 2 nights max until they update.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Peaceful beachfront paradise - Amazing tropical beachfront hotel only a short boat trip from a town on the mainland. I spent three days enjoying the island. I saw hermit crabs, hornbills, monitor lizards, and many other kinds of wildlife. There are about 50 local people living on the island, and they seemed very friendly when I walked through the small village. There is a path through the rainforest which is nice to walk round and you can see many kinds of wildlife. The food from the hotel was a little more expensive than on the mainland (250-300 bhat for a curry and rice) but very very good indeed. They have beachfront cabins with open bathrooms, so you can expect to see a few insects, but none came into the room itself, which had air conditioning and was quite comfortable. They also have more modern rooms available with covered bathrooms. The island is very quiet and peaceful, so if you enjoy being with nature then it is an excellent choice.
- Rikke Nora Rosenkvist (10/5): We love it❤️ - We booked 4 nights and ended up staying here 9 nights. Kind and serviceminded staff. They washed our clothes and gave us free coconuts. Its easy to go to tha mainland 15 min by boat and they let us decide which time to get picked up again. There are lots of animals here. The electricity is off between 11-16(17). Bathroom outdoor which we liked. We loved it here❤️
- Annika (10/5): Ruhiges Resort im Paradies - Wir waren für sechs Nächte auf Koh Lone und hatten einen Beachfront Bungalow mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick direkt aufs Meer. Man muß sich zwar bewusst sein, dass aufgrund der Gezeiten, das schwimmen nicht immer möglich ist. Dafür gibt es aber einen Pool. Den wir, zumindest wenn wir dort waren, für uns allein hatten. Wer auf dieser Insel einen Supermarkt oder andere Geschäfte erwartet, wird leider enttäuscht. Das einkaufen ist am Chalong Pier möglich. Dort gibt es diverse Supermärkte und Bars. Vom Hotel aus gibt es einen kostenlosen Shuttle. Ca. dreimal täglich fährt das Longtailboot von Baan Mai an den Pier und zurück. Der Bungalow hat alles, was man braucht. Die Einrichtung ist nicht mehr die Neuste, erfüllt jedoch seinen Zweck. An das Außenbad muss man sich gewöhnen, da einem Bienen, Ameisen und Frösche begegnen können ;-) Dennoch ein echtes Erlebnis. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Atmosphäre war sehr familiär und wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Frühstück war gut. Zum Essen bietet sich auf jeden Fall das Restaurant an. Wir haben einiges probiert. Die Curry´s sind fantastisch! Preise sind zwar etwas höher, dennoch lohnt es sich! Wir empfehlen das Resort auf jeden Fall weiter, für alle die Ruhe und weg vom Massentourismus wollen! Danke für die schöne Zeit.
- A1634POdavidd (8/5): Nice location in perfect symbiosis with the surronding nature with good but pricey services - The location of the hotel is superb, it is very nicely integrated into the area so it does not feel as a mass concrete resort (compared to the other hotel option available on this island where we visited just to have a lunch). The standard beach bungalow has a working air con, fridge and the "interesting" bathroom outside where you will get lots of mosquitoes - so bring the anti-insect spray or you can also ask at the reception for the smoking anti-insect - which helps a lot. In general there are a lot of insects, birds, some cats around so if that is not your thing do not go here. The food is very good and the price is around 1.5x compared to Phuket (e.g. Pad Thai 180 / 300 / 450 THB depending on size but the smallest was fairly sufficient for us). For us the surprise was the price on the final receipt of items where we did not ask for the price upfront and which are not listed in the menu (e.g. all beverages) where price was around 2-2.5x compared to Phuket (1.5l water 80 THB / coconut 100 THB). Also we had the suspicious that some other guests were charged less for the same unlisted items - so if you want to be sure how much you are going to spend ask for the price upfront. There is a 3 times a day free boat to Chalong Pier. You can swim in the sea when there is a high tide (from 6 PM to 1 PM +/-) .
- Jascha (4/5): Schöne Insel mit Schlechter Anlage - Wir haben die Reise voller Erwartungen angetreten. Und am ersten Tag war alles noch sehr schön. Das Essen hat uns leider überhaupt nicht geschmeckt, so dass wir uns tatsächlich mit Instant-Nudeln eingedeckt haben, die wir dank des Wasserkochers den wir wenigstens noch hatten, zubereiten konnten. Der Strom ist an fast jedem Tag für 1 bis 2 Stunden ausgefallen. die Anbindung an das "Festland" ist sehr schlecht und unflexibel. Das bedeutet, dass man abends nach 17 uhr nur noch gegen eine Gebühr von knapp 15€ pro Person zurück auf die Insel kommt. Und sonst fährt der Bootstransfer auch nur 3 mal am Tag. Das Meer ist nicht zum schwimmen geeignet und der Strand ist, wenn man es nett ausdrücken will, grobkörnig. Die Anlage ist eigentlich nett und mit etwas mehr liebe könnte man daraus wirklich etwas machen. Was wir so schade fanden ist dass das alles der eigentlich so schönen Insel nicht gerecht wird. die Sauberkeit war leider auch nicht wirklich gegeben.
- Johanna (10/5): - Supermysigt hotell men trevlig personal och god mat! Vi var i princip själva på stranden! Tyvärr är botten ganska stenig så inte helt lätt att kliva i och ut vattnet!
- Ed (8/5): Romantik und Natur pur. - Ein Paradies im Paradies. Es ist eine abgelegene und isolierte Insel, ideal zum Ausruhen und entspannen. Perfekt für Honeymoon und andere Paare. Rustikale Bungalows sowie moderne Zimmer. Sehr freundliches Personal, erfüllt alle Wünsche. Die Insel ist nur mit einem Longtailboot erreichbar, bei Flut vom Boot ins flache Wasser, was aber Spaß macht. Echtes Inselleben von 6 bis 23 Uhr. Watch out for the coconuts!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Room on the beach. - Felt it was an amazing stay. Pull up to the beach on a small boat, unload in the sand and walk 30 feet into the hotel. Our room was right on the water made for a beautiful sunset. Only negative was the AC didn’t work, but the location far surpassed no AC.
- globetrotter820 (10/5): Excellent two days rest - We stayed in The beachfront Vila, super , two deckchairs and a hammock outside on the beach, the room was clean and fresh water in bottles was left with tea and coffee. Food at the restaurant plenty and beautifully prepared and the staff friendly, especially Dennie, the swimming pool is in a delightful tropical garden setting. one thing to be aware of, although the hotel said it had free transport from the pier, we were approached by a man saying, were we going to Baan mai hotel, we said yes, and he said he would take us there for 1800B , not so the transfer was free from the hotel.
- edwardsE3806OA (2/5): Horrible - we booked same day as we arrived late to the hotel around 19.00 and we called the hotel multiple Times to arrange the boat trip to the hotel. once we arrive the receptionist tell us we can Only stay one night even tho we had Hotel confirmation for 2 nights... she could have said anything while we were on our way but she would rather trick us out to the Island stay there for 3 hours go to sleep and then check out and end up on the streets. we however slept in the big villa wich was dirty overall. expensive food and mediocre food. terrible service from reception. after this nightmare experience we were glad we only stayed 1 night...
- Traveller_365247 (6/5): Watch out for the added cost of expensive food and boat - A place with huge potential for those seeking the easy life on a secluded beach (note: stones, not sand), but there's a mix of tired management and rude tourists that occasionally gives an unwelcoming vibe. The only option for a restaurant is crazy expensive compared to normal prices in Thailand, 2-300% of normal prices. The average 120 BHT curry will cost you 400 BHT. A bottle of water 120 BHT, a big Chang 230 BHT. The food is ok, but you have to see past the fact that you are being ripped off once you a trapped on the island. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the service at the restaurant needs some improvement. There's something about the boat, your connection to the outside world. There's a free boat 3 times a day (both back and forth), last one going to the island at 5 pm. It's a bit unclear whether you can ask for boats at other time and at what cost. The announced cost is 500 BHT per person per way. The silence on the island at night is lovely. As the last free boat goes to the island at 5 pm you are also forced to stay at the island every night - and dine at the restaurant.
- Brian (10/5): A perfect two days rest - We had atwo night stay and were very happy with the beach front villa. The staff could t have been more he,Paul especially a young lady called Dennie.wewill certainly come again, the pool as clean .
- Anita (8/5): Great hotel, very remote - We really enjoyed this hotel, we originally picked it for the remoteness and the ability to relax on a cool island away from some of the major touristy locations. We arrived, the grounds are beautiful, the staff is great and the food is amazing. Drinks were a little pricy so beware - grab a bottle (or two) of something you'd like to drink before catching the boat over, it's worth the savings. The island is also located close to the mainland as well as another smaller island you can take the hotel boat to during the day, DO NOT ATTEMPT KAYAK. The staff speaks english but it's broken, we attempted to kayak out one day and we weren't told to wear life vests or given any indication as to where to go/not to go, be extremely careful in these waters. The current is very strong. Overall, we had a great time, the only downside that is out of the hotels control were the other hotel guests kids. Came to the island to relax and have a moment of peace and there were toddlers running around, crying and acting up almost 99% of the time.
- 306caroline89 (10/5): Relaxing for both kids and parents - We visitied baan mai as a family of 4, youngest only 6months old and we loved it. Our house was right at the beach, the atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is super friendly. As a family we loved it. If you want to relax this is the place. If you want shopping you can take the boat (10min) free of charge at set hours. We will return and stay longer next time.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Lugnt hotell med jättetrevlig personal. Sängen var väldigt hård. Bra om man vill ha det väldigt lugnt
- Eric (10/5): Mooi hotel op een prachtige locatie - Het baan Mai hotel is ons buitengewoon goed bevallen. De locatie is werkelijk een droom. Helemaal wanneer je de straten van Patong hebt gezien is dit hotel een verademing. Mooie comfortabele bugalow en prima zwembad. Met name voor de rustzoeker is dit dé locatie.
- JUl (6/5): 静かな環境です - 静かな環境です。 街の対岸にある島です。 喧騒を離れて、 海の風、山の風が心地よいです。 海は遠浅で子供にも安全です。人口砂を敷いていない様なので、ビーチシューズがあるば快適でしょう。 可愛いネコがいます。
- Denise Sinn Min (10/5): Unforgettable trip - The staff made my entire stay so so homely and enjoyable. Thankful to Jackie’s assistance over the phones with the cab drivers when we arrived to facilitate the boat transfer. Both the front counter/kitchen staff and the boatmen treated us like family and made our trip so unforgettable. Thank you!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Natur pur und Ruhe! Man sollte wegen der Natur hinfahren, es ist alles noch recht wild.
- Mari (6/5): Upea hotelli melkein autiolla saarella - Hotelli oli upea mutta siellä oli ulkovessa ja ovi ei mennyt lukkoon. Hotellilla sähköt laitettiin päälle vasta iltapäivällä. Huoneissa ei toiminut Wi-Fi yhteys. Hotellia piti mukava hymyilevä thaimaalainen nainen, joka oli auttavainen.
- Gitte (8/5): Afslappende ophold - Utroligt afslappende sted. Ingen larm. Kun naturens lyde. Man skal have lidt tålmodighed når maden laves det kommer ikke lige ind på en gang. Vi havde kun booket en nat men ender med at tage 3 nætter. Det er ikke den bedste badestrand. Men et par badesko gør underværker. Alt i alt så havde vi nogle dejlige dage.
- ruthr589 (10/5): PEACE AND TRANQUILITY - We have just returned from 2 weeks at this tranquil laid back resort on a hideaway island off the south coast of Phuket. It's one and a half hours from the airport by taxi and boat but well worth it and only 15 minutes by "long-tail" back to the mainland at Chalong . We prefer the garden bungalows as they offer a jungle environment with birds and wildlife all around.You will hear howler monkeys regularly , but these shy creatures are very elusive. There is a 20 metre freshwater pool which appears to be "green" but this is caused by the pool tiling being green in colour. The brekfasts are excellent and mixed with fresh coffee galore. We have gone through the dinner menu and can recommend everything. The meals are freshly prepared and cooked so can take 15/20 minutes to appear but well worth the wait , especially with a chilled bottle of Singha Beer to hand.The views and sunsets from the open fronted bar/restaurant can be fantastic. You can step straight from the restaurant and beach bungalows straight on to the beach. Be aware that parts of the beach are pebbly/shingly so beach shoes are advisable. Although the sea is warm and clear swimming is only possible at high tide. There are beach and forest walks, while hammocks and salas give leisurely shaded areas at the beachside for reading and snoozing or boat spotting !!
- James (10/5): We stayed here as a family of five. - We arrived late but the hotel staff really took care of us. Test the phone number before you leave. The island is for a family or people wanting a more relaxing break.
- Betty (8/5): Beautiful location, quiet, very Nice staff - We were the only geest but very well taken care of. So close to Phuket bij longtail but a very quiet islandwrong telephone nummer and emailadress given by expedia!
- pangpond_NST (6/5): My stay.. - We stayed there just one night. Unfortunately, our long tail boat picked up us late for 1.30 hrs. We disappointed . When we checked in, we were cordially greeted by staff with refreshment that was very nice and made us smile. Cottages was lovely size but looks tired. It needs to be renovated.(No TV and safety box) For dinner, I totally agree with other reviews that very expensive ex. fried rice costs 350 Baht per dish but I recommend coconut iced shake though. :) Staff at the reception was helpful and friendly. All in all, I'd recommend for 1-2 nights here. If you want more tranquil and private, escape from being overcrowded.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good for a short stay - Good for a short stay, delay in pick up from pier, had to wait for more than 1 hour, basic facilities, very quiet, just rocky beach, just kayaking available, good thai food, staff (co-owner) not service minded, small western breakfast, no thai breakfast.
- treezytrops (10/5): Wow! - We arrived here to stay overnight but we loved it so much we stayed another night and my partner's parents who were staying in Patong came to join us. This island is so tranquil and picturesque it's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The beach huts are basic but perfect for what you need. Everything worked perfectly. The staff cannot do enough for you. The food is delicious and the pool is in beautiful surroundings. We'll be returning one day! We were sad to leave! Tip - bring plenty of mosquito spray as we were bitten a little more than usual here.
- alain (6/5): Ile deserte 2 juist max - Ile deserte. Rien aux alentours. Tarifs d un 5 etoiles mais accomodations dun 2. Proprietaire et personnel gentil et serviable
- song (2/5): farkin Rip Off - rip off service charge for food and beverage,try to charge me over bill.
- Eugene (4/5): Inconvenience location - Very inconvenience location, if you miss the 5 pm ferry back to Hotel, you are out of luck.
- Elisabeth (6/5): Fina nybyggda lägenheter el.15år gamla bungalows - Isolerat, dålig strand i skuggläge. Trevlig personal, bra transfer från flygplatsen, lugnt. Mkt begränsat hotellområde, djungel. Rekommenderar lägenhet!
- Carsten (6/5): Das Paradies gefunden, aber bewusst entscheiden... - Als wir am Chalon Pier angekommen sind, war die 1. Überfahrt mit einem Anruf im Hotel organisiert. Die Überfahrt nach Lone Island dauert ca. 20 Min. und je nach Wetter- und Seegangslage eine schöne Fahrt mit einem Longtail-Boot. Die Ankunft am Hotel war herzlich und die Gastgeber geben sich viel Mühe. Der Bungalow ist traumhaft und die Klimaanlage hat funktioniert. Die Dusche und das WC sind im Freien, allerdings auf Grund der Umgebungswärme, auch kein Problem. Der Sandstrand verläuft nur an gewissen Abschnitten ins Meer, ansonsten trifft man schnell auf Kies- und Steinboden. Die Gezeiten Ebbe und Flut, machen den reinen Hotelauffenthalt nicht zum optimalen Paradiessischen Erlebnis. Allerdings kann da die Hotelanlage nichts dafür. W-Lan war nur im Rastaurantbereich empfangbar, dafür aber stabil und schnell. Der Hotelpool ist nicht der Hit und auch die Anlage hinter der 1. Reihe Bungalows könnten ein wenig Liebe im Detail vertragen. Bauschutthaufen sind hierbei nicht ungewöhnlich. Moskitos belästigten uns über die gesamten 11 Nächte und waren nur einigermassen mit Mückenspray in den Griff zu bekommen. Das nächtliche Gequacke von 1000en von Fröschen, wurde man schnell gewöhnt. Der Strand ist überseht mit Krebsen von klein bis gross und abends laufen hunderte von Muschen mit Einsiedlerkrebsen spazieren... Ein Naturereignis! Das Restaurant verlangt deutsche Preise und ist hierbei der grösste Minuspunkt, im gesamten Paradies-Erlebnis. Das Essen ist sehr lecker!
- Dag Erik (6/5): Fint sted dersom du vil ha ro. - Svært rolig sted. Finstad når det var Flo. Ubrukelig stand når det var fjære. Slitte men greie bungalower. Du får det du betaler for. Vi var fornøyd etter to dager, da lengtet vi tilbake til sivilisasjonen.
- Andrew (6/5): No free mini bar - Beach ok low tide lots of rocks
- HUBERT (8/5): RESET NA KO LON :) 50/50 - MIŁO SPĘDZILIŚMY TU CZAS. 3-4 DIN WYSTARCZY ABY TU SIĘ ZRLELAKSOWAĆ. BARDZO MIŁE PANIE Z OBSŁUGI - JEDNAK PRZY WIEKSZYM OBŁOŻENIU NIE WYRABIAJĄ SIĘ. NA KOLACJI BARDZO DOBRE JEDZENIE - JEDNAK NAWET 60-90 MINUT OCZEKIWANIA NA DANIA. 1 KUCHAZ I 2 KELNERKI :). ALE BYLIŚMY TU DLA RELAKSU. PLAŻA KAMIENISTA I CZESTE ODPŁYWY. NIE MA GDZIE ZA BARDZO POPŁYWAĆ . MOŻNA JEDNAK POSPACEROWAĆ :) FAJNE ŁĄZIENKI POD GOŁYM NIEBEM W BUNGALOWACH :)
- Anna-Karin (6/5): Besviken familj - Barnen blev jättebesvikna då man knappt kunde bada. Vattnet blev jättelångt redan runt kl 13 och då kunde man inte ta sig över alla vassa koraller för att bada flera 100 m ut. Tog ca 1 tim att få sin mat även om vi var själva i restaurangen. Poolen var helt igenslammad och gick inte att bada i. Frukosten var ok men fräschören var inte ok pga flugor och fåglar som var upp i maten. Perfekt ställe för avkoppling, men inte mkt mer än så tyvärr.
- rosanna (4/5): non andate - Veramente da dimenticare a dieci minuti dal porto di chalong, appena arrivati al porto non troviamo la barca del hotel eppure eravamo in anticipo di mezz'ora decidiamo di prendere un taxi e spendiamo 1200 troppo caro ma come dovevamo fare altrimenti...arrivati in hotel gentili al primo impatto dato che avevamo prenotato una camera fronte giardino invece ci danno un bungalow fronte oceano tutto meraviglioso prima di entrare in camera e non trovarsi la tv...il wii fi inesistente in camera il bagno all'aperto senza un minimo di zampirone o altro contro zanzare formiche o altre bestie della zona, la pulizia in camera è un otopia sporco nel lampadario e climatizzatore nemmeno da accendere x colpa della polvere, mobili mezzi distrutti biancheria bucata o vecchia bollitore non funzionante, acqua calda bastava solo per una persona....e questo nella prima ora...decidiamo di fare un tuffo nel oceano indiano per sollevare il nostro umore ma anche in questo sono riusciti a ferirci in tutti i modi spiaggia sporchissima dalla plastica al vetro a bottiglie mezze abbandonate in spiaggi vicino agli alberi, e quelli dello staff manco pulivano che indecenza!!! Appena si entra in acqua e tutto morto zero fondale!! Decidiamo di scappare via il giorno dopo invece di fare 3 notti dopo una basta e avanza!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - vi var själva p hotellet, mkt vällagad mat men lite väl dyrt. Mkt vänlig personal. Dåliga broräcken som blir farliga i mörkret. Alldes f långgrunt för å kunna bada vid ebb. Trevligt m badrum ute. masser m mygg å sandlopper
- Ferzana (8/5): - Very quiet and relaxing.
- Matthew (10/5): - Highly recommended for a peaceful stay. Accomodation is simple, comfortable and well done. Food and drinks more expensive than elsewhere in Thailand, but to be expected given there are no shops or other facilities on Koh Lon. The ladies who run the resort are very kind and friendly, service is relaxed. Not the place for partying or five star treatment, but perfect for an easygoing, laidback escape.
- ertugrul (2/5): Tavsiye etmiyorum. - Yemekler cok kötü. Otelden ayrılırken bize yüklü miktarda hesap cıkarttılar. Resmen dolandırıldık. Kesinlikle tavsiye etmiyorum. Saat 6 dan sonra otele ulasım ücretleri insaflarına kalmış. Gercekten cok kötü.
- kim (8/5): Lovely hotel. - Lovely hotel. Had a nice cottage with view to the sea. Clean with good functioning airciondition. Food at the restaurant excellent.
- Dietmar (6/5): Leider nicht nochmal - Dieses Hotel entsprach leider nicht unseren Erwartungen. Die Betreiber geben sich wirklich alle Mühe, jedoch ist der Zustand der Häuser sehr schlecht. Zudem befindet sich das Badezimmer draußen , Ungeziefer an Toilette und Dusche sind dort als normal anzusehen . Der Strandabschnitt ist leider auch nicht wirklich h schön, im Wasser viele Spitze Steine.
- Dietmar (4/5): Nicht nochmal - Die Gastgeber sind herzlich , was jedoch über den Zustand der Anlage nicht hinwegsieht. Die Bungalows alt, das Badezimmer draußen und daher Ungeziefer ohne Ende beim Besuch des Badezimmers. Wir haben dort gegessen und seitdem Durchfall und Erbrechen
- warriors (4/5): - bungalows are nice but in need of some maintance to fix things beach was very rockie in front of resort, food was good but waited a long time to get it staff was nice..no entertainment so 2 days was long enough
- Verified traveler (6/5): Relaxing getaway - Baan Mai is a relaxing and isolated getaway. The hotel facilities could use some updates: the rooms are a bit dark, the beds do not feel stable, some of the doors and cupboards have missing/loose handles, and the air conditioning and power are inconsistent. The outdoor bathroom was a fun idea, until you need to use it at high noon or when it rains. However the staff members are very friendly and offer good service. The food at the restaurant was fairly good as well, especially the Thai green curry. Beware of the many mosquitoes and insects--some of of which are very, very loud. Try to arrive in the morning when the tide is still high; otherwise you'll have to walk quite a distance amongst sharp rocks from the boat to get to the hotel. During low tide, the beach is rather ugly.
- Julie R (10/5): long boat - Logistics are hard when arriving late at night. Also much confusion when scheduling day trips. Outdoor bathroom was amazing. If the hotel boat ran more often times, it would be helpful.
- Alex (2/5): Terrible experience - This is not bad ONE STAR hotel, not 3 1/2 as Expedia claimed. Dirty, outdated...
- stephen (10/5): Six days of complete relaxation - Baan Mai on Ko Lon is the perfect location for a relaxing, getaway from it all stay. If your idea of the perfect holiday is relaxing on a secluded beach surrounded by stunning scenery, lazing in a hammock watching magnificent sunsets, eating freshly prepared food exactly the way you like it, then you will love it here. The staff at Baan Mai are welcoming, friendly hosts that make this perfect location even more special. If you go make use of the free canoes, paddling out to sea to enjoy the sunset or follow the coast to explore secluded coves. You can even join the staff in the kitchen who will demonstrate preparation and cooking of your chosen meal. I really can't speak to highly of this wonderful, small, very personal resort
- Hitesh (6/5): Pleasant stay at Private Beach in Phuket - It's very nice and cozy hotel on a private island called 'Koh Lone' island. You need to take a ferry ride from 'Chilong Harbor' to reach the hotel. Usually it is arranged by the Hotel owners only. It has it's private beach, nice swimming pool and many more fun activities (Badminton, Beach volleyball, paddle boats etc.) provided by it's owners (2 extremely sweet and caring Thai ladies.) However being on private island has it's own demerits also. Biggest one is that you can't venture our own in mainland Phuket town and always on the mercy of hotel owners to arrange ferry. So, if you want to return to the hotel in odd hours, the hotel owners would charge about 300-500 Bahts for ferry. To cut short, it's ideal place to stay for couples on honeymoon, but if you want to explore Phuket, there are far many better options specially on Karon beach or Patong beach.
- Angela (10/5): Quiet and relaxing - Lovely staff and great food. No problem going diving, they bring you directly to Chalong Pier where most dive boats are leaving from.
- Marion (8/5): Very pleasant stay - Baan May Cottages is a really nice place to stay. Its location on Lone Island makes it very peaceful, far from Phuket touristic places. However be careful to check your reservation booking as their online booking is delivering more rooms than they have (they are building more bungalows but they aren't finished) So we were moved one night over the 2 we were supposed to stay, which is a shame because it was such a nice place to spend 2 full days. Also, to be patient is the key, they don't really have the Western way of service, so you might end up waiting 2h for a boat without any excuses. It's Thailand :) But overall I have to say it was our best location during our 10 days trip around Thailand.
