We loved it here. Stayed in a beach front hut beneath a mango tree. Very basic fan hut with western-style toilet and cold shower. Helpful owners with friendly dogs as the resort's greeting committee. No complaints on food. Bed is stiff like plywood but surprisingly we have slept through 3 nights with no problems. Very minimal mosquitoes but do apply... More

This review starts with the caveat that we stayed there in December 2011, so things might well have changed since then. (I thought I'd posted the review but hadn't and have just found the text on my lap-top and decided to post it anyway - if a little late!) We booked the Au Pong for three nights and liked it... More

This resort is a very calm, relaxing place with just seven bungalows (the cheapest on the island) and really kind owners Michal and Riam. It's not an island like other because you don't find the night life like on the others islands but if you want to be cut from people you should definitely go there. It's really relaxing. In... More

Ao Pong Resort is tucked at the end of a short section of unmade road just to the south of Koh Mak’s main pier. The road has the smallest mini-mart in the world, a laundry service and a somewhat incongruous German-run steak house and bakery (with crocodile on the menu). We didn’t get the chance to try that out as... More

It is a quiet, place with private beach shared only with few other guests. In most cases you are alone... The service is very good with the exceptional meals made by Riam. She is Thai and Michal is Polish which makes this place very international. You get trilingual service : Thai, Polish and, of course, English. The rooms are very... More

If a quiet peaceful place is what you are looking for, and you want to avoid all the tourist traps, Ao Pong will be just the place for you. Michal and Riam, who runs the place are absolutely wonderful people, they are very helpful and grounded, and Riam is one of the best chefs on the island. The resort is... More
