Pawapi Beach Resort Koh Mook

This resort is in a first class location on a long sandy, safe beach. There is a small town center within walking distance, but frankly taxi service is cheap and plentiful if you want to save wear on your flip flops. I read the reviews about a scam perpeterated on a customer who blamed the hotel however, the place is real, the rooms are splendid and I would say the only drawback at present is that the place is virtually empty, presumably because of the review regarding the scam. Would I recommend the hotel. Yes.

We cancelled our booking here and despite 4 messages to hotel and a phone call from booking agent - where they claimed they had forgotten to process refund I have still not received a refund - it’s been 5 weeks ! It does deter me from booking alternative dates that had been my intention. Beware !

We stayed at Pawapi Resort for 2 nights only after unfortunately making a bit of a mistake with the original accommodation we booked - which wasn't great at all! We had a sea view villa, our villa was one of the last ones in the row at the back but it was still really nice. The villa itself is HUGE. Don't expect it to be super modern, they are slightly dated inside but this is still a relatively underdeveloped island compared to others in Thailand, so considering this we were really impressed. It was extremely clean, comfortable and everything worked perfectly - the aircon was amazing (it was almost too cold at times!) and the shower was great. The infinity pool is stunning, really well maintained, quiet with there always being sun loungers and parasols available. The view over the beach is a real highlight. The beach it's on it beautiful, the sun rises are stunning. It's really quiet yet only a 5 min walk to the beach restaurants and bars so really conveniently located. It is on the expensive side in comparison to other accommodation you can get on the island, but my advice would be to be pay that little bit more if you want something on the nicer side.

I would say don't miss out here, the Pawapi Beach resort is under new management and the staff cannot be more helpful. We came here for my wife's birthday and had so many great experiences arranged for her. Take an early trip to Emerald Cave, a private speedboat with guide to lead you as you swim through the 80 meter cavern to the beach. As a treat, arrange for a boat to a sunset point with a bottle of Brut and strawberries. For something really special, how about private beach dining, a sea food basket of fresh fish, tiger prawns, calamari and crab served with rice and their special Thai sauces. We have had the most wonderful time here at Pawapi Beach resort. What will you do here ?

Nice big rooms and hot water. Was very quiet when we stayed. Staff were very friendly. Not sure it's worth the price but anything decent on koh muk is bhat 3000+. Food was average. Better options in the village. "Perfect restaurant" located just 10mins walk away was excellent.
