Koh Jum Ocean Beach Resort

Below par , rundown.

This resort is overpriced in comparison to other Koh Jum resorts. The resort is located on a hillside with over 200 steps to get from the road to the reception at sea level. To get to the resort you must travel along a dirt road which is rutted, steep in places and strewn with small rocks. Taxi is the best way to get here and if you choose to hire a scooter take extreme care on this road. I stayed here for 3 nights and found the lacotion to be peacful. The cottages are set up the hillside in a well established area of trees. The resort shows many signs of needing maintenance, probably stemming from the COVID closure of over 2 years. However, the two resorts nearby are much better maintained. The food at the resort is average, I ate dinner here each night, but the breakfast is unacceptable for the price you pay. Very poor selection of items. If you are looking to stay in one place for your stay, prepared to put up with the run down nature of the resort then this is a great place to unwind. If not, and you want to explore the island and go to different cafes etc. I suggest staying somewhere else. There are monkeys here but they did not cause me any trouble. The pool is a good size but with clear signs of algae growing on the walls. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Wifi is not good at all and certainly not high speed. I take into account that Koh Jum is a very uncommercialised island but this resort needs to do better.

Construction noise in Hotel all day and until 2 am at night, which made it inpossible to relax at all. We weren't informed beforehand, which should be the bare minimun!Hotel overall in a really bad shape. No Wifi working in room, hardly working in public ares. Room wasn't cleaned once during a 4 night stay, water not refilled e.g. Breakfast is really bad! You get slices of toast and sausage, excpexted alot more for the price. Also, breakfast is promoted a different way on homepage and ***********. Room very filthy and smelled musty. Check in staff very unpleasant, nothing was explained and we felt like a burden when we asked for Wifi password, breakfast hours e.g. There are better options in Koh Jum, do not choose this Hotel.
