This is not the place for people who are accustomed to first class hotels or who like to take cruises where most everything is provided. In particular, it is not for people who are accustomed to complaining when things are imperfect (ants, a mediocre breakfast, etc.). Thai natives do not tolerate confrontation; they are the sweetest, most loving people in the world, and will worry endlessly about one's welfare. But one needs to keep in mind that this and the other resorts on this secluded strip of beach were left without any income during the previous 2 and 1/2 years of Covid. They are now scratching out a living, and doing it with grace and charm, but it's also still a work in progress. My wife and I loved this island, but along with the recent ravages of the pandemic, it is a place that only received widespread electric about 7 years ago. Don't come here if you're seeking Miami or another resort city. Do come if you are still seeking adventure.

A serene, quiet, peaceful slice of paradise off the beaten path! The perfect place to escape crowds, the beach is gorgeous and most of the time we had it all to ourselves! The only noise was the cicadas and the occasional monkey dropping onto our roof 😀! We loved it here, it was heaven!

Not as advertised
Arrived and not as advertised. Very remote, very run down - rubbish everywhere, discarded freezers and generally rundown and dirty. Only place to eat is at the hotel restaurant. Food ok, breakfast not good. Bed was like a piece of wood and bedding and towels had stains on. No hot water. We left after one night and got a water taxi to Ao Nang.

Beautiful stay in such a remote paradise!
Our stay was amazing. It was such a remote beautiful island which meant we had such a relaxed stay! We had the company of the local monkeys all feeding and teasing each other which was incredible to watch from our balcony/and the beach. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, we were always welcomed with a smile. The only downside is the cockerel tied to the stand which wakes up customers- however, I completely understand that is just a difference in culture and what would be deemed as ‘cruel’ to westerns is completely different to the Thai so I wouldn’t make it an official complaint at all its just something that made me a little uncomfortable. The only other thing was the air con wasn’t that effective, mainly just blowing the warm air around but again I think due to the remoteness of the island and how special it is, this really wasn’t a huge issue as it’s understandable for such a remote paradise. All in all a beautiful stay and we can’t thank you all enough! X

Tropical Paradise
My girlfriend and I stayed there for 6 nights. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the resort as well as the natural beauty of the resort itself. The road needs a bit of work. lol. Is to be expected on a small island. A scooter was available to rent which worked well, and the brakes worked which was a bonus. There are washing machines along the road like little gas stations. The food was fresh and tasted good. All the staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. There is an abundance of wildlife on the island. I was outside the Teak Room having a smoke when we both heard a crash from inside he room, only to see the three monkeys that were trashing our room, taking off out the side door we left open. Lots of iguanas too. Some big. Some small. And cats...all friendly people-person cats.

Loved how quiet the resort is, reminded me of phi phi before the tsunami and the mass tourism. For an island the prices are very reasonable and a great range of food available , the massages are fabulous. The staff are quiet and reserved but very helpful and efficient. Excursions are available but we didn’t partake. Loved our treehouse room and the air conditioning was a bonus

Would never go back
To get to the resort, you have to ride on a small dirt road. There are a few other resorts located on the same beach, a bar and two abandoned bars/restaurants. The beach itself is ok, but the water was not very clear and the sea floor is full of rocks (not very pleasant). The staff of the resort was friendly and kind. The room was not good. First of all, there were holes in the wall in the bathroom. We tried to patch it up with toilet paper to prevent the mosquitoes from getting in. The bed was too stiff. There was blood on the mosquito-net. Also, we were waken up in the morning by cars. There is a construction site just beside the resort. The was ok, although a bit boring. The breakfast was also ok, but everything is riddled with flies. All in all, we decided to check out a day early even though our three nights were pre-paid. I would recommend you go to Koh Lanta instead.

Perfect little hideaway
The staff are excellent, the food is amazing and the views are breathtaking. If you want a romantic getaway or a place to take the family that isn't commercial and you can let the kids run along the beach, swim and paddle while you get a massage overlooking the ocean. Prices are the best I've seen in any hotel in Thailand.

Beautiful, relaxing, away from it all
Loved Koh Jum Resort! The setting was hard to beat. Koh Jum is right on the beach on a quiet part of the island. The staff was helpful and very kind. The beds were a bit hard, and the resort has a simplicity to it, but had all we needed, there is a nice selection of restaurants on the beach so definitely go wandering. Our favorite was the Last Fisher. we did nothing for 3 days, a perfect way to start our Thailand adventure.

Splurge on a teak villa as the bathrooms are more western. The resort is lovely and the staff are very accommodating. Spend at least three days on the island and really slow down. We loved Ko Jum and can't wait to return.

One night stay. Lol
Stayed for one night and thank you Lord we did only for a night. There was no air conditioner so it was extremely hot thankfully they left some fans for us so that was great. The swing was nice and the sunset. It is pretty cool there though. It was low season when we went there so it wasn't alive at all. It was nice and clean staff was okay, the territory was decent as well.

Koh jum Resort
We had a fantastic time at the Koh Jum resort. The view from our beach front villa was amazing... The staff were really friendly and the food served was excellent. The unsealed road from the main road to the resort was a bit of a challenge for us on our little scooter but well worth the effort.... Would definitely recommend this resort for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Off the tourist trail
It is off the tourist trail and something you would really like. You have to fly to Krabe, and then take a taxi ($16) or a baht bus ($3.00) to a pier about 40 kilometers from the airport. Then take a long tail boat through an archipelago and end up at a boat ramp on Koh Jum … call the resort and they pick you up and go down 4 kilometers of dirt road suitable for 4 wheel drive only. Then you are there. The bamboo bungalows are only $35 a night which is a bonus because they have all the amenities of a 4-star except no TV or a good WiFi which is actually quite nice. It’s like Nature’s Valium and one just feels totally relaxed there. The only sounds are the sea and wind. Renting a motorbike is a risky proposition because of the roads but worth it to get around and see the island. I went snorkeling for the first time in my life and it was amazing. It was good.

Get away from it all
Book a teakwood villa, they're huge and much better than the beachfront ones. Hotel staff are great, contact them to arrange getting to and from the island. Don't use the krabi to lanta ferry, go via laem kraut on the local ferry. Much cheaper and a nice trip through the archepelago. Day trip arranged via the hotel on a long tail to phi phi and a few other islands for 1000baht. Probably one of the better ways of seeing it rather than the mass tourism speedboats from phuket and krabi. Come here to completely relax and get away from it all.

A little piece of paradise
Although it's a little bit of a mission to get to the island, once you arrive, you'll be glad you took the trouble! Gorgeous setting, laid back atmosphere, expect total relaxation. There's a little restaurant which was good and not overpriced, a bar, swimming pool (which we didn't use as the ocean was so lovely to swim in), kayak, snorkeling gear, massages on the beach. Fantastic. If you're going for a party or for shopping, think again, this place is for switching off from the world and chilling out.

This place is truly magical - but do not go if you don't like bugs... I didn't sleep a wink in fear of spiders etc.. Wifi is terrible, but what do you expect in the jungle. Staff lovely & lively .. Beach wonderful. That's all that's here!! Beach hut nice - but tv didn't work, and shower was cold no hot water.

Nice jungle resort with quiet beach. A bit isolated location but hotelstaff helped us to get to the village (15 min in a car/ 100Baht/person) one evening. Seafood was good and really fresh. If you are looking for relaxing and quiet place, this is it! Prices are higher than in other places, but worth it (still cheap comparing to European prices).

Double booking
We originally booked the ocean view villa, but when we finally arrived on the island we were informed that they have double booked and didn't have any villa available. Instead for a villa we got the bamboo bungalow which is the cheapest option and complimentary food & drinks during our 1 night stay at the resort. The service was good, but we were not offered any other compensation than the food&drinks (still paid the villa price).

Stunning little hideaway.
Koh Jum Resort is a beautiful peaceful little peace of paradise ,, peace being the correct word if you want late bars street markets parties etc don't bother . but if you want to relax on the sandy beach , swim , fish , dive or snorkel this place is great , attentive staff will do everything they can to make your stay an enjoyable one , if you want to try the hustle and bustle of thailand you can jump on a long tail boat be taken out to sea where the ferry boat will stop pick you up and carry you to one of the larger islands where theres more action we did this and stayed at Koh Lanta for a few days before returning to lovely Koh Jum to recharge our batteries before home. I will definitely be going back to Koh :)

Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig, wer allerdings Anspruch auf Reinheit und Hygiene legt sollte hier vorab wissen das es sehr spartanisch ausgerichtet ist. Bett war bequem, ohne Klimanlage ist es leider nicht auszuhalten u das Gerät ist leider sehr laut. Handtüchern haben muffig gerochen. Ausblick und Ruhe machen einiges wieder gut. Sie ist einmalig. Leider alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen und abgenutzt (Liegen am Strand)

Kan tänka mig åka tillbaka
Paradis utanför dörren. Lugnt och skönt, stranden nedanför hotellet är troligtvis den finaste stranden på hela ön. Frukost medelmåttigt och vi åt bara middag första kvällen. Resten av vistelsen letade vi oss andra ”bättre” ställen. Svår väg att promenera på med barnvagn även om det går. Vi promenerade till restaurangerna längst större vägen 2 luncher, men ville inte gå där när det var mörkt. Hyrde moped en dag och åkte runt på ön, fanns inte mycket att utforska. Bästa restaurangen Halal food, tog ca 30 min att promenera.
