    There are some trashes on the side of resort beach but these are also seen in other beaches in Koh Mak too.

    I like the location, it s really quiet and chill , it is a bit further away from other hotels and center but that's not a problem at all. You can get a taxi or ride a motor bike around anyway. There are places to walk around resort like Cape Tukata and also you can kayak to small island. The bangalow is spacious with a nice balcony. The front beach water is clear. One of the reason that makes Hidden beach is a special place is the owner and staff are really nice, friendly and helpful, keep things simple and relax. I feel like I stay at my friend's place. I would definitely come back again.

    Literally 10/10 Atmosphere, view, room, bike rental inside, one of the best beaches on the island. People are like a family here (it happens often on Ko Mak tho). Wonderful.

    Simple rustic hideaway in a beautiful spot

    Very basic inside the rooms, could be improved with a bit more furniture, another pillow and basic toiletries (shower gel & soap). One of our two balcony chairs was broken and the sink was leaking really badly during our stay. Didn't affect our stay, but just some improvements and it could be great.

    Really beautiful spot, on a lovely small paradise type stretch of beach with lots of palm trees overhanging clear water. The bar served some delicious Mexican food until 4pm which I'd really recommend. The view from the balcony was beautiful and loved sitting up there with a beer listening to the waves. Staff all really friendly and helpful. A simple and rustic hideaway to get away from it all. The rooms felt private and tranquil. Whilst being quite a far walk into where the restaurants shops etc are (25mins along dark roads). A taxi is only 150 baht, or you can rent a moped from them for 300 baht a day. We did walk along the beach into the town area twice, but be warned you have to wade through waist high sea water late afternoon because of the tide and climb over fallen palm trees. An adventure but quicker than the road!

    Just that it’s so well booked up now !! It’s v popular with good reason.

    The location of this place right on the beach is wonderful - you can hear the sea all night long as the doors are screened & you can leave them open. Fantastic views. I loved the swimming - at high tide you can swim over the little rocky places and the water was lovely for proper swimming as well as just cooling off. The staff are delightful & really really looked after me ☺️🙏 It’s so relaxing at HBR but we all know how much effort that takes. The Mexican food between 11am -4pm was a complete surprise & top notch: the best Ceviche I have ever eaten - cooked by a lovely Czech man called Alech (?sp) Out of those hours food can be ordered in from a fantastic local restaurant, again wonderful quality, reasonably priced & usually v quick ( longer at peak times, which they warned me about ☺️) My room had a fab view, was v comfortable & the air con was brilliant.

    It would be nice to have written information in the room. There was an active mouse running around on the roof early in the morning. There are holes in the ceiling in the room that need to be fixed, as adhesive tape is not a long-term solution (until then, the tape needs to be renewed). The food here is basically nonexistent (nachos, tacos) and it wasn't good, go elsewhere to eat (you still need a scooter to get somewhere, they rent it here). The soft drink menu could be wider and even then they were missing some ingredients for their soft drinks. You need to watch where you step in the sea, as there are also sea urchins there.

    The view (from a balcony and even from a bed) is perfect, a room is very beautiful, nice shower. We were there one night, we liked it.

    charming 10-cabin beach resort on Koh Mak

    However, there were a couple of downsides. While the beachfront location is stunning, the beach itself could use some attention, as it was a bit dirty during our stay. Additionally, the hammocks and beach chairs were worn out or broken, which took away from the otherwise lovely setup. Despite these minor issues, this resort is a great choice for anyone looking for a tranquil escape on Koh Mak. A little maintenance and beach cleanup would elevate it to perfection, but even as it stands, it’s a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the island.

    Overall, it was a delightful experience. The modern bungalows are beautifully designed, with a clean and stylish aesthetic that adds a touch of luxury to the laid-back island vibe. Each cabin offers comfort and privacy, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. They offer a bar right by the sea. It’s a fantastic place to relax with a cocktail in hand enjoying the gentle ocean breeze. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere

    Room 5 had some holes in the ceiling, which needed taping up. A simple fix. But it really didnt ruin anything. I arrived a week before the kitchen opened, but it was possible and easy to order take out via the bar. I can see from their social media the kitchen is now open and the food looks stunning! I'd suggest hiring a scooter as it really is hidden and off the beaten track.

    The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Megan was great! The views and the beach were stunning. The accommodation was really clean and spacious with a modern feel. I'd love to go back. Really happy I stumbled across this place.

    What an amazing place! From the moment we arrived, we felt super welcome on the property. Jake was super nice the whole time, helped us with everything and all the tips we needed. The hotel is just beautifully put in an amazing beach, no one else around. You can also kayak to nearby beaches. Although there was no restaurant at the time, we were able to order dinner and breakfast (pineapple pancakes were delicious), and it was great! The bungalows were big, spacious, super clean and had a great balcony. This place is beautiful, really friendly, love the atmosphere, and although we only stayed one night, it was totally worth it!

    No food when we were there. But they helped us out with ordering whenever we wanted. A better path to the cabins would be a nice upgrade. so just minor things!

    Jake is amazing! Very helpful and nice host that helps you with all the information you need. Besides that the place is very green/beautiful and has a super chill vibe. Also just +- 10 cabins, so not a resort feeling.

    This place is a little slice of heaven in Koh Mak! In early November, the beach was perfect for swimming with calm waters. You can find your own hidden place right at the beach. You can kayak to nearby island for swim and sunbathe. The staff is super nice, takes care of everything you need and makes you feel at home. Bungalows are clean and they have modern showers, new beds, fridge and AC. The bar has a good selection of delicious cocktails and is peaceful without loud music. We really enjoyed the place and we’ll be coming back!

    The place is still trying to improve and getting those little things there. There should have a restaurant or otherwise you need a scooter. We were afraid of sandflies on the beach but didn't get bitten. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but ok for 2 nights.

    The bungalows were great and quite new! It was cozy and quiet which we liked. Jake was awesome with his stories! The staff in general were friendly and helpfull. The beach area was beautiful. The view from our room was breath taking!

The owner was always taking care of us in the best possible way!!! Very charming, friendly and laid back. The setting of the bar was unique including an amazing wooden pirate ship. We had such a good time there. Thank you very much!!!!

    A great location on the beach with views out to sea and islands. Listening to the sea and waking up to sunrise was amazing! You can order in food from local restaurants and get it delivered. Getting to bars and restaurants was a 15 minute walk along the beach. Totally chilled staff, where nothing was too much trouble.

    Jake have made this place amazing! The bungalows are so cool and comfy and have the best view on the island. Could wake up there everyday. You need a scooter to get to town and around the island, but Jake rent those out to you and even teach you how to ride them. You can also walk to the town through the beach when there is low tide which takes around 15 minutes. I would not chose any other place to stay, you don't need to read about any other places than this :-) Thank you Jake & Co. for making our time the best!

    Only not very important things because it was an amazing stay! But if we have to say something - big hole in our mosquito screen door. I think a piece of tape can fix this problem? - the bottles water in our fridge were from 2022 and valid til ‘23 Thank you Jake!!

    - feels like staying on the end and top of the island, a dreamy rock and beach - the many peaceful sounds that nature gives you.. dream away on the sofa bed outside - interior = amazing! Great match with nature - nice hot shower with great design and we loved the window because shower+sea view is amazing - we had a lovely cocktail in the evening with Jake @ the bar that looked like an old ship. This was great!!

    Not really a downside but keep in mind that you're in rural Thailand and don't forget that you're dealing with nature.

    Hidden Beach is a precious little gem on a small but beautiful Island. The huts are simple but clean and the beach is simply amazing. Quiet, clean, crystal clear water. Bonus: The water pressure in the shower is exceptional. Never had that in Thailand before. The owner, Jake, is a nice host. Easy, helpful and uncomplicated.

    Beautiful beach!! It's rather quiet, lots of palmtrees and hammocks, and a very nice host. The houses are right by the see, with great view, and very modern. This place was a real treat!
