Book top-rated Resorts in Trang, Thailand

"The sevenseas resort was the last stop of our Trang tour and the best was definitely left until last. Working in Singapore we frequently travel south east Asia and felt that Thailand was now overpopulated, commercialized, and lacking fish ..... Sevenseas defies all of the above and directly in front of the hotel we snorkelled with fish on par with the Philippines ...... I have nothing but praise for this hotel, i agree the hotel is not cheap but it's a small price to pay for quality and complete relaxation ...... "

"We really enjoyed our stay and would definately return again. The resort is definately more than 3 stars. Our room was cleaned daily and replenished with water and coffee/tea. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the free DVD rental for a relaxing evening in our room. We had a massage which was excellent though expensive considering other massage facilities on different islands. If prices were reduced then I am sure more people would use. Sometimes it is not about makin the money but making guests feel they are getting value. My only criticism of the resort is the added 10% service charge. So the prices advertised are not inclusive. The resort is rated 3 stars but in my opinion the prices would reflect 4-5 stars. The boat trips are also over priced as there are cheap longtails available 200 metres from the resort on the high street. If you want a cheaper option and good home made food visit the mini mart at the junction for longtail booking 1200bht for 3 hr trip or the restaurant opposite for Thai home made cooking. The restaurant buffers were good value and the breakfast options were fantastic. We will be back"

"Our second stay as we enjoyed our first. On this occasion we stayed in both the best room for views (room 3) and also spent one night in the deluxe beach front tent. Once again the staff were excellent especially the team running the bar who are all very good at their jobs. The tent is very large in size and affords views directly on to the beach, however due to its location & it being a tent you will hear everything early in the morning ( long tails & roosters ) and is probably a bit over priced compared to the cost of rooms 2 & 3. The Thai food was always well prepared and tasty. The breakfasts were always freshly prepared with plenty of instant coffee refills available. Excellent wifi and very reasonable hotel bar prices. "

"On arrival we met the Professor/ owner of Riviera Beach Resort on a rare visit. He and his daughter gave us warm welcome and told us about their endeavours on the Island, in helping the local community/ raising awareness of the preservation of Mooks' marine wildlife/ environment. We had booked a room inland but were offered a discounted upgrade to sea view room. The room was large + 10 seconds from beach. Bed was v.comfortable/ shower room clean + spacious. There was a sofa, shelves and desk but a wardrobe would have been a good addition. The food was good at both breakfast/ dinner. The dinner menu is limited, but the dishes are clearly well practiced. They specialise in sizzling hot plates (personal fave was massaman curry). Breakfast was good and we were kindly offered Anita the manager's own baked beans even though they weren't on the menu. As vegetarians (and from the Uk) this was a lovely offering. In terms of feedback, it should be noted that the 'English Breakfast' and 'American Breakfast' should be the other way around (we only really eat pancakes once a year in UK!) The location couldn't be better.It's next to the best cocktail bar on the island (claiming to make the best Margarita in the world?!) and just up from Sugars' which is a great alternative for breakfast/lunch. Most significantly it's on a picturesque quiet and beautiful beach. The village around the corner and area to the left of the pier is also worth visiting. Other feedback- It would be good if bicycle hire from the hotel was cheaper (was more expensive than scooter hire). Maybe the music during breakfast could be a bit more fitting/ changed from time to time as was the same every morn, and they should make more of a feature of their environmental endeavours. It's a bit underplayed at the moment, when personally I think it should be something really prominent. Riviera Beach resort is perfectly located and run by some of the most hospitable people we met in Thailand. "

"Very beautiful location. We was delayed by 1 day due to bad weather at sea and the resort were kind enough to delay our booking for 1 day without extra charge. Very good food in the restaurant and amazing staff so friendly and helpful. You will not find a better priced place in such a beautiful location. Highly recommend this place. "

"We arrived from Trang, hotel is wonderfull, rooms are clean and nice. Hotel does not have a restaurant, but the one next door is perfect, great food and low prices. We planned to stay 2 nights but we finally stayed 4 nights. Owners (young thai couple) are great. They helped with everything, helped to arrange a longtail to depart to Mook island, they drove us several times to closest city Kantang (approx 20km) to change money, buy beer, buy seafood for barbecue (they have you barbecue equipment) Although it is fun to buy seafood on aocal market, and then grill it, the food from nearby restaurant is much better. Next time, I would buy crab or lobster on the market and try to ask the restaurant to cook it for us, if they agree, it would be a seafood heaven. Although there are better beaches on the islands, the hotel was really great and I recommend you to stay there. "

"This is a lovely spot on Koh Libong. It's easy enough to get to from Trang airport. The rooms are super clean and comfortable, the gardens nice and relaxing. The food is excellent, especially the breakfast. The surroundings are very natural and unspoiled: we saw eagles just by the resort, dugongs, dolphins and sailfish from the boat trips. The long-tail boat trips are good to see some of the other Trang islands and well worth doing, especially if you like snorkeling. You can also borrow canoes from the resort or motorbikes to tour the island: there's a fishing village to see, a few other beaches, a cliff-top view point to see dugongs if you are lucky (you climb through a cave to get there). The best thing is the staff: wonderfully friendly and helpful. The only slightly disappointing thing was the beach at the resort is not so good for snorkeling but the boat trips can take you to nearby islands for that, no problem. I hope I can make it back here some time soon! "

"From the minute they picked us up at the pier at Koh Mook, the Mook Lamai staff were exceptional. Tid literally took care of everything for my wife and I, and even had flowers and rose petals on our bed for our honeymoon. Nina was able to provide a complete rundown of the island for us and had a number of good recommendations for activities for us to do. Tid helped us arrange for a private longtail boat to do the Emerald cave EARLY and this was one of the best experiences we've had our entire time in Thailand. Not only did we get the sunrise on the boat, the boatman had full gear and was our guide swimming into the cave. We got to enjoy the cave alone for over 25 minute before more tourists arrived, and then the boat man took us to a local snorkeling hole completely unexpectedly. This is the type of arrangements that only Mook Lamai could provide. When we come back to Thailand, without question we will return to our family at Mook Lamai! "

"We have stayed at the Libong Beach resort before and loved it and we returned. We had a fantastic stay, the rooms were great as always and food fantastic. Cuisine option is limited to Thai but its wonderful with spectacular seafood dishes. The staff were excellent and friendly as always. There was a bit of a confusion on the room type - We had booked a beachfront bungalow through agoda but that was not available when we got to the resort. They put us in another comfortable room with a partial sea view and then changed us to a full sea facing room the following day. The confusion in the booking seemed to be a comunication lapse between bookings done directly through the resort vesus those done through agoda and the availability is possibly not always synced. We had no problem since they gave us an equally good alternative, but would be good to ensure this mix up does not happen. "
