Reef Resort

The Reef Resort is an exceptional place. Located on a paradise island, the resort itself gives you a feeling of peace, solitude and remoteness from Thailand's busier islands. The atmosphere in the resort is indeed very special. Being with a toddler, we appreciated how compact everything is within the resort, without the need to walk long distances - you literally live and eat at the beach, and swim/snorkel right in front of your room. The staff is amazing. Food in the restaurant is great (for breakfast, lunch/dinner, drinks).

The best place to stay in all of Thailand. We loved it there. We arrived by speedboat at the pier, 10 minutes from the hotel and our luggage were picked up, while we walked along the sandy, white beach with our feet in the water to the hotel. Were served cold water and juice upon arrival and very friendly staff everywhere. Was given very good guidance in terms of where to go and what to do - e.g., to visit the other part of the island with opportunity to see reef sharks when snorkling, and also to go to Koh Rok for snorkling with prime visibility due to the season (april). The hotel is simple, but beautiful, the rooms too. The atmosphere is kind, relaxing and welcoming. The beach is absolutely stunning, good natural shade by the lush trees, and calm, turquoise water. Lots of fish to see on the reef. Snorkel gear, fins, kayaks, SUPs, life jackets etc is complimentary to use. Also sand toys for the kids, and ooh how they loved to just pick their icecream from the freezer themselves and show it at the bar. Really, really great place!

It's a great location, with a warm reception from Gentianna and her team. There are 18 rooms around a small pool which is good for kids. The outlook is straight onto the beach and across to Koh Muk. The air and sea temperature in 2025 are lower so the sea conditions have been massively improved on a year ago.The rooms are recently refurbished, with comfortable beds and quiet, efficient AC and ceiling fans. You are on a remote island, so the food is excellent considering the size of the kitchen. The prices are reasonable. Directly next door is a really good Italian restaurant if you fancy a change.There is a bar next to the pool which serves as a social hub. Lots of families with young children. The painted drift wood indicates loyal guests returning, which amplifies what I've said above.The beach runs South for nearly a mile, the last part accessible at low tide. Sunset Beach is small on the West side around 20 mins through tropical forest. We saw reef sharks whilst snorkelling.We can honestly say Koh Kradan is one of the nicest islands in the world let alone the Andaman. Heartily recommended.

Leaving :-(We will be back.

The hotel and island are amazing. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We were surprised by how great the food was - we have a local friend who'd been showing us around Chiang Mai and Koh Lanta and taken us to some of his favourite eateries. The pad thai and fried rice at the Reef Resort rival any we've tried elsewhere - delicious. Prices were surprisingly good. We hope to come back very soon!

There's really nothing

This place is truly paradise on Earth. We’ve visited Thailand three times, stayed at five-star resorts across different islands, but nothing compares to the incredible experience of being fully immersed in nature like we were here. The hotel is beautiful and impeccably clean, the staff are super kind, and the warmth of their hospitality makes you feel right at home. With the beach just steps from your room, it felt like a dream—I never wanted to leave.

Very nice rooms, on a beach that looks like paradise. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Genta and Jack provide an outstanding experience. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the very best time at Reef resort and had the most amazing birthday party and cake( including a gluten free option too ! ) we will return …,,

Absolutely nothing

Wonderful location, great Thai restaurant and lovely management/staff. It’s clean, extremely laid back and has a convivial vibe.

The accommodation could do with some investment and modernising. The hotel plot is large & spacious but the rooms are now dated - some might say “shabby chic” but my advice to the owners is to refurbish in order to keep repeat and new customers coming back.

amazing location in front of a beautiful beach. nice rooms, and very friendly and helpful owner

It‘s a gem by the beach. Wonderful rooms.You get snorkeling equipment for free.An amazing reef with many fishes - just on their footsteps. The personel was very friendly.Everything was just amazing. We would come back again in a heartbeat!

This is one of our favorite islands and definitely our favorite resort on the island! It was friendly and had an excellent breakfast, wonderful friendly staff, and I would highly recommend! They had several people come from other resorts who were complaining about their resort, specifically seven seas. Island is gorgeous!! Try the coconut ice cream!

Everything. Genta and Jack are fantastic hosts. Staff are all wonderful. Location was fabulous. Food in the restaurant was outstanding especially the tempura prawns.

Great location right on the beach. Rooms are simple, but there is everything you need. Rooms and the whole resort is very clean, staff very friendly. They will help you with all you need to know while in Koh Kradan. We only stayed one night but if we knew how beatiful the island is and how nice The Reef Resort is, we would have stayed longer.

It was 4 wonderful days on Koh Kradan....the atmosphere in the resort, the nice, loving and extremely helpful hosts left nothing to be desired....We really felt like we were in paradise and at home at the same time....Thank you so much for that an unforgettable time with you...Maria and Markus

great location, best food, friendly staff, good beds, very well maintained ?

Just the perfect location in one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand, right on the beach and a little far from the main disembarkation point for the tourist day trips. Kayak available for free. The staff is just lovely, kind and very helpful. The restaurant of the Reef Resort is one of the best places to eat in Koh Kradan. This resort is the perfect place to relax and completely disconnect!

Overall it's maybe a bit too pricey, but as every structure on Koh Kradan.

The exceptional beach, the friendliness of the host, excellent food, comfortable rooms

We loved everything! Genta and Jack are exceptional hosts. They organised everything for us, transfers, trips and lots of good recommendations. This island is stunning! Cristal clear water, good snorkelling and not busy like so many other islands. The room was comfortable, breakfast was good and meals at the restaurant were great. They have kayaks, snorkelling equipment and paddle boards that you can borrow as well as a great selection of board games. This was our first stay but we are already planning our next visit.

Nothing- it was all amazing!

Absolutely amazing experience! So many perks upon arrival, they picked us up from the pier, they brought us back for the departure, everything is tip-top organized. The place itself is arranged with so much love and care, the staff is kind and friendly. Everything in the room, such as AC, WC, shower, ventilators worked perfectly fine for us. Anytime again!

We loved everything! There is a consideration to remember that Ko Kradan is a remote island, so some things are just not available 24/7 on demand.

Very nice and small resort right on the beautiful beach. The staff and service was great!

Great hospitality and service. Very friendly staff, making you feel like part of the family. Nice food and great location. Good value for the money. It feels like time stops in this little paradise.
