Mali Resort Koh Kradan

We are the only Chinese family on the island. It is a very quiet and beautiful island. After comprehensive consideration, we chose Mali Hotel. It turned out that the choice was right. It should be the best location on the island, away from island hopping tourists. The environment is particularly good. The island is very primitive, there are few restaurants, and the hotel food is good. The island is relatively primitive, there are many mosquitoes, I was bitten by more than a dozen big bags anyway, the prices are high, and no one can speak Chinese. But the sea water is so beautiful that all the shortcomings can be ignored.

Traveling during the National Day in 2024, since it is the off-season for the island, there are very few people, the island will not be crowded, and the hotel is not full. Take a long-tail boat, the captain will take you directly to the beach corresponding to the hotel, and when you arrive, the hotel staff will come directly to pick you up and help with the luggage. The hotel written on the Ctrip order details page has no front desk, but there is. When you check in, give a key and a staff will take you directly to the room. The room does not need to insert a card to get electricity, and it has always been in a state of electricity, but there will be a few points in the off-season when there will be a sudden power outage, which will be explained at the front desk when checking in. The room is quite large, and the decoration is not bad. The bathroom and other facilities are also relatively modern, which will not make you feel that it is very broken for a long time. There is no other problem except that the water in the bathroom feels that you can't rinse your mouth (so the hotel prepares mineral water for brushing teeth). The hotel has an open-air restaurant&bar where you can eat your fill. Because it is a natural island, there are still many ants, mosquitoes, and unidentified flying insects, but this is normal. When we were having dinner at night, we felt a large animal making collective noises on the mountain behind the hotel. We didn't know what it was, but it was annoying if it kept making noises. Fortunately, there was no such noise in the room. The staff at the front desk and the restaurant were very nice, and it was easy to communicate with people of the same age. The breakfast was quite simple, with only a few varieties to choose from, and they were not very hot, but there were freshly made omelettes, which could be added, and there were whole cans of yogurt! Having said so much, the scenery of the island is very good 👍 There is also a large shallow beach where you can swim, snorkel and canoe, which is suitable for vacation 🏖️

The location is great. The sea is right in front of you. You can wake up in the morning and dive into the sea. The rooms are quiet and very relaxing.

I came to this place because of its fame, but it felt a bit like a pitfall. The scenery is not that good, not worth the effort... It is a bit expensive for the room price, but it is understandable, after all, everything is moved from far away. Transportation fee + accommodation fee... I really can't recommend it 😹 Don't have too much expectation when you come to play. Also, be careful of ants. There are a lot of them outdoors during the day and I was bitten, it was super painful...
