Beach Hotels in Pak Meng

It's very quiet and had the like of having really good neighbours!

Blue Shore Cottage is clean, cosy and just across the road from the beach. It's also close to restaurants and food stalls. We enjoyed it enough to stay an extra night.

For us this was an exceptional stay. It’s simplicity, authenticity and uniqueness were a delight as were the owners. They couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. Never before have we stayed in a thatched hut with a wash basin outside and a hammock on the porch! Authentic Thai food was served for breakfast along with a selection of fruit and fruit juices. Breakfast is eaten at shared tables in the communal space where we met and chatted to other guests.

private, comfy bed, quiet area

Beautiful quiet place, really clean and comfortable. Very nice staff who did all she could to make us feel good. A nice restaurant close to the bungalow with excellent food. A beautiful small garden outside. We got a bottle of water every day and also she gave us fresh coconut drinks for free. The bungalow also have a refrigerator, water boiler and coffee for free

Very nice staff, clean and comfortable tents at perfect location.

Everything, location, Koh Ngai is amazing the staff is very kind and the restaurant is Great too. Amazing hotel!

To me, this is the best hotel on Ko Ngai. My partner and I spent three nights here and felt like we were living an island fairytale. The island is a small slice of paradise—a pristine white sand beach with crystal-clear water and a serene, magical tranquility. Best beach in my life. The property is literally on the beach, with sleeping huts set back slightly for privacy. After trying food at several other resorts for variety (there are no native community or standalone restaurants on Ko Ngai), I can confidently say Mayalay Resort is the most atmospheric place. Resorts closer to the ferry pier felt overly polished and commercialized (with too many kids), while those farther down the beach became increasingly basic (with beach only accesible at low tide). Mayalay strikes the perfect balance: all the amenities you need with an alaways accesible beach, while maintaining a laid-back, elegant vibe. The open, airy design of the dining area—with white sun shades and white furniture—gives the resort understated elegance. It’s easily the islands most aesthetically pleasing resort. The coral reefs and beach (though unfortunately mostly dead) seemed better than at other parts of the beach. We noticed that longtail boats tend to anchor closer to the pier, making those sections of the reef busier, while resorts farther down the beach often attract large groups of day tourists. Mayalay’s beach, in contrast, felt like a tranquil enclave, perfectly suited for relaxation and adding to its recharging atmosphere. The staff were attentive yet respectful, giving us a sense of privacy that helped us fully unwind. They were always friendly and talkative when engaged but never intrusive, creating an enchanting, stress-free experience. Having arrived with an early ferry from Ko Lanta, the staff made our room available even before check-in. My girlfriend and I are already planning to return with our parents to share the joy of this magical place.

Excellent petit resort.LOVELY. Staff very friendly. Great staying! Recommend absolutely!

I could go on and on about this place. U-Sah is the best host we have met and this little house is amazing, comfortable, clean and cozy. You will be 15-minute from Charlie Beach where you also are granted free sunbeds from her - this was such a big added value 🩷 It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the town, the small road takes you through the village where you will be greeted with smiles from the locals 😌 I left a piece of my heart in Koh Mook and in Paradise Bungalows, I cannot wait to be back one day 🥰
