Captain Hook Resort @Koh Kood

Such a lovely place! We stayed for 4 nights. We booked a 2-bed villa but ended up with a three-bed one, which was amusing – it felt like the bed took up half the villa! The beds and pillows were comfortable. The room was clean, and we didn't notice any insects. Our villa had a nice, comfy porch with cushions, perfect for lounging. You can borrow kayaks for free at the hotel. Throughout the day, complimentary tea, coffee (3-in-1), cocoa, and ice cream are available. The on-site restaurant is pretty good. There are beautiful fish swimming in the sea right by the hotel – at least 15 species – so definitely bring your snorkeling masks. We were really impressed with the hotel managers; they were incredibly accommodating. After checking out and leaving the hotel, we stayed elsewhere on the island but wanted to have dinner at this hotel's restaurant. Even though the hotel was 100% full and they were hosting a New Year's Eve party for their guests that day, the managers still found a way to seat us for dinner. Just a heads-up, you can't reach the hotel by scooter or car, only by boat. If you're coming from the center of the island by road, you'll see a sign with the hotel's name before the bridge, and a phone number below it. You'll need to message that number on WhatsApp and ask them to send a boat. There's also scooter parking nearby.
