Koh Jum Delight Beach

Highly Recommend Koh Jum Delight Resort!  Had an extremely pleasant stay here for 3 nights.  Located on the southwest of the island.  Great service.  Friendly staff.  Standard Breakfast.  Nice, comfortable clean rooms.  Close access to one of the better beaches on the island.  Can rent a bike and go explore the island.  Highly recommend!!

I stayed here with my mum, initially two nights but loved it so much that we booked a third. The place is absolutely stunning and after seeing the rest of the island, I'm convinced this is the nicest (and pretty much deserted) beach. So location wise, this place is a 10/10. The staff was absolutely amazing and the absolute highlight of our time here. Our room was spotless, the bed was super comfy and the cabin was just adorable. Food was also very good and very reasonably priced. I can't wait to come back. Best sunset on the island and a short walk down the beach takes you to the best spot for sunrise. There's a shop about 15 min walk away and a cure cafe just five min from the resort. We were looking for a non touristy place, quiet, to rest and sleep well. If you want to disconnect and enjoy some quiet time this is the place for you.

In a warm climate, five key factors make the difference in a hotel stay, and Delight Resort excels in all of them: 1️⃣ The Bed – Very comfortable, a rare find in Thailand where many hotels in this price range have overly firm mattresses. We slept like a dream! 2️⃣ The Air Conditioning – Modern and silent units 3️⃣ The Shower – sufficient water pressure and warm water, something that’s surprisingly hard to find in this price range. 4️⃣ Breakfast – While it’s good, a little more variety would be a great improvement, especially for guests staying multiple days. 5️⃣ WiFi – reliable and good coverage throughout the resort. Beyond these essentials, the beachfront location is fantastic. Most bungalows have at least partial sea views, the gardens are well-maintained, and there’s a modern swimming pool. The beach is wide, kept clean, and perfect for swimming at both high and low tide. A standout feature? Plenty of comfortable sun loungers— the even have extra foldable ones in case it gets busy! Is everything perfect? Almost—one small suggestion: the restaurant serves great food, but it could use a bit more atmosphere. It’s just 25m from the beach—why not set up tables on the sand in the evening for a more magical dining experience? That said, Delight Beach is a top-tier choice, offering fantastic comfort, excellent facilities, and unbeatable value for money. We will definitely be back!

Let me start by saying that this place is amazing. Beautiful beach, nice bungalows and a beautiful sunset to see. So why I still rate this as a terrible experience for me? I have severely allergic reactions to shellfish, so bad that cross contamination is also deadly for me. A good friend of me who is Thai wrote that on my phone and everywhere I went in Thailand I’ve showed it and everywhere, for more then 2 weeks, everything went well. Till my first evening here. As usual I showed them the writing and they said they understood. But instinctively I knew they didn’t. When my vegetarian pad Thai came my friend again asked the waitress, are you sure this is safe for her to eat. Yes.. was the answer. Till my first bite. My throat immediately swollen up and I ended up in the ER. Next day I talked to the manager and tried to explain again how important it is to use clean gear and stuff. He said he would talk to the kitchen and let them know. I only have breakfast at the hotel so today, 3 days later, I have a scrambled egg (there is not much more for me to eat here) and when I finished I noticed that breathing gets heavier and throat gets swollen again. While I was puking at the toilet, they just stood there and watched. After using my epipen no one even comes to check if they can do anything. It’s a beautiful place, but just don’t go there if you have allergies that are so serious or when you don’t speak Thai.

We planned a one nighter on Koh Jum and picked this idyllic spot. Great accommodation. And on a perfect beach with hardly anyone else around. We also ate in the restaurant for our stay and every meal was delicious- service a bit slow to come to the table but that was the only negative ...other than foolishly only staying one night. Get here for a few days and let's the peace and quiet take over.
