Makathanee was a great place to stay at Koh Mak. We came directly to the pier from Koh Chang, got into the spacious bungalow quickly and enjoyed our time here with an amazing view to the ocean. Close by shops, restaurants and massages (walking distance only minutes). Hotel booked a snorkeling trip for us with only 6 guests which was great. Also nice private beach, also to go for longer walks in both directions. However, a scooter rental is helpful to see also other areas of the island.

Nothing the resort is responsible for, but be aware of the sandflies and itchy bites - but the local pharmacy across the street provides balm and creams against it.

staff very friendly and helpful

The pickup service with an electric golf buggy at the pier! The location: seafront with a nice garden The bungalow: spacious and well arranged The staff's friendliness and professionalism The restaurants and shops nearby

The vast amounts of rubbish on the beach: we couldn't help but spend 30mns pickup garbage when we arrived at the resort. Such a shame for such a nice beach... And you could say that it is not the hotel's fault (most of this rubbish probably comes from the sea) but there is not one bin near the beach at the property! You get those "garbage hero" baskets everywhere on the island but here :-( Main improvement point in our opinion. I must also mention that I spent time observing the 2 guys in charge of the garden and the beach cleaning but my feeling is that they just pretend and don't much done. Conclusion: we never went to this beach (20 meters from our doorstep). Second topic: the swimming pool always had some kind of foam at the surface and the water did not look very clean. We still use it (35 degrees + during our stay) but maybe that was not a good idea.

The roof bar was great

There was quite a lot of rubbish on the beach at some times of the day

Good location close to a few cafes and restaurants.

Common outdoor areas are totally unusable; super uncomfortable sun beds which no one uses, run down pool area. Shower in my room had no pressure and water smelled and tasted like metal.

Need to be upgraded

Not maintained at all.

nice location, staff is very help-full and polite. rooftop bar is good!

with some building refurbishment and good coffee you can get a 7+ or 8 hotel rooms are too old, complex need complete renovation.

Stayed for 2 weeks working remotely. Located in center of town. Very convenient near restaurants and local shops. Staff are very helpful. Great massage on beachfront. Good breakfast. Nice garden lawn in front of beach to relax. Great place to watch sunset at the bar. Very spacious room with decent table to work.

Water pressure is terrible. Not enough lighting. The entire resort is rather dated. Towels are old. Beach loungers are old and tattered.
