Travel reviews Koh Munnork

Beautiful Island Resort, but not 5 stars "
Mun Nork Island Resort
And to me my girlfriend recently stayed at the station referred to above and had a good time. We booked a night of 2 / 3 day stay at the resort 6190baht cost per person, plus another 1,000 baht per person, because we stayed during Songkran Festival. (This is common to suplement be added during the holiday Thai)

Initially, I contacted the station directly by email. Correspondence with them was very helpful and replies were received quickly. My booking was made on a website that I have been made by the station.

We stayed in a bungalow-style - the cleaning is ok, the bed was small, about 180 centimeters in height, no refrigerator, no TV, no towels, there is much room for maneuver in bathroom, outdoor shower was a nice touch, but it smelled very bad.

The restaurant was ok, my girlfriend loved the food for me that I am indifferent. It 'was a fixed menu for the entire stay and if you want another that was extra. I agree with the previous review, the breakfast yesterday seemed left over rice in warm water with pork or shrimp. For lunch, 2 people were 3 dishes, soups and rice and 4-course dinner, soup and rice. Greater variety in the meals would be appreciated, we had pork, chicken and shrimp daily. Some have been better.

The resort itself is pleasant, has been relatively quiet. The beach was beautiful, even if there were a lot of rocks and broken coral in some areas. The staff clean the beach every morning we were there for any debris that had washed away during the night. E 'possible to walk across the island in about 20 or 30 minutes. Here, there are very few mosquitoes, but the peacocks were quite boring.

I disagree with the previous comments on the service. It's hard to say who is responsible, but the main guys could not be more helpful and it was still very gay.

This is a station for expatriates or Thais, I suspect it is rare for foreign travelers to venture out there because this is not as easy to go to premises and staff do not speak English well, do not try. E 'off the beaten track and a station of Nice, but fairly expensive.

Broken Dreams in Paradise
Mun Nork Island Resort
We just returned from a weekend at the exclusive island idyll said we Mannork Koh (Koh Mun Nork) is located in the Gulf of Thailand, which lies off the coast, Klang (Klaeng). The island is located in a beautiful setting. However, we have never been so incredibly bad service before. It 'was so bad that I initially wanted to return to the ground immediately, because we were given accommodations in a small room adjacent to a dorm has specifically ordered a quiet bungalow. The management could not care less of our complaint and told us that the boat was gone and that was all. In this moment that the idyll turned into a prison to me. In the room the night was so hot and noisy as we preferred to sleep on the beach in a small arbor, many of them scattered around the resort. Everyone was invited to sleep in when we discussed this morning. Not bad, if there is a breeze keeping the distance Moss and if you get a Nice sunrise. Point a small to some, perhaps, but there are no more hot water for showering. Our breakfast service was slightly 'better. In the absence of a menu, just a cake "yesterday left the rice in water for the fish" on the offer, we and many other guests complained that it was edible and must produce something better. Finally, the Director stated that, for an additional cost that can make fried rice (mmm, this is more rice only yesterday, then fried). My thoughts were confirmed previous prison. Apart from breakfast, food in general and the normal rules of Thai is poor, with little choice. There were about 21 foreign guests from Bangkok and all complained of overloading and rip-offs. Anyone who arrives unexpectedly, therefore, no reservation has been charged 2000 Baht ($ 64) for a mattress to someone else speak. There was no other choice but to pay. As it was, a bungalow was about 4000 Baht. Apparently this was not enough and we were all in captivity and forced to pay exorbitant prices for their extras. At the end of our stay there was "no reduction in price possible" to make a forced change to our room. Overall, I'd say probably the worst resort we were on vacation or the weekend, and I'm not too demanding! This station was chosen to celebrate a birthday, because it is supposed to be a special place by the heat and chaos of Bangkok by Thai expatriates and tourists. This seems especially true if you want to spend a little 'more, and you want to mix some' luxury, with fabulous sea and sand is found throughout Thailand. The island is really fabulous, but the station just does not cut and it seems that they have seen the expatriates to come and I've seen walking piggy banks. There are many luxury resort that offers a truly better service, food, location and accommodation in a Tarrif similar. If you want more quiet, the sun and the sea, so it is an absolute must

Traveler Review Koh Tao

1.Great location, good room, bad luck with the instructor PADI
We stayed in room no fan included with the signature for the PADI Open Water. The first room they gave us a key was a bit 'run-down, with a screen window is not very close. When we asked for another room, we were politely shown into a room that is at the base, but surprisingly clean and fresh with just a fan. I would recommend trying to find a corner room to get the wind to blow through. We were really happy with our room, especially considering the price!

The cleaning staff and staff in the Thai dive shop were very helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant seemed mediocre and quite expensive compared to other restaurants in the range of background. The place was beautiful, a little 'isolated from the bustle of the background, but only 5-10 minutes walk from the action.

We went to the course with an open mind, excited. However, this type of course is the hit-or-miss according to the master, and ours was a big gap. Our instructor did not, Jackson has had the patience to learn new divers. With a student-teacher ratio of 6-1 was a little 'fear of seeing my first dive with an instructor who has not had time to explain the steps in doing something right in the middle of the Ocean. After the first dive, my girlfriend started to feel quite dizzy on the ship, to the point of not being able to open his eyes. Jackson's verbal response was: "Oh, you must have had too many buckets last night." When I said he would stay on the boat with my girlfriend sick, rather than continue with the second dive, it's pretty condescending.

We lost 2 to 4 dives, but the day after we have completed our part of academic courses. When you try the last 3 dives again, we certainly do not go with a smaller institution with a teacher smaller and less students per instructor pompous.

So, to summarize: the course OW is a great value if you get a good teacher.
Miscellaneous

2.Coral Grand - Mixed Bag
A bit 'of a mixed bag this lot.

The crew of the boat is very useful and is the leader Jonas, plus some others. But some other members of staff, including vice-ministers are so arrogant.

The boats they use are also very old and in a good state of repair of equipment of poor quality. I remember, watching the other boats in the harbor, seemed to be the norm in Koh Tao. The dive staff were allowed to smoke on board, what they did, like all the chain smokers - quite disgusting, especially when they were often the only personnel on board who smoked. Surely they could ban smoking on board - the trips are only about 4 hours.

3.Average stay
I stayed in bed & breakfast near the dive shop. This is partly because I wanted Internet in the room and was the only room that provided it. In addition, housing was another great and a little 'over-estimated, taking into account other nearby stations. I do not mind really cheap accommodation - has been crucial, but it was very cheap and fucntional too, so I got what I paid.

But the restaurant does not have a good menu and had no chance of vegetables for lunch. More staff were completely useless here. Also, I saw many guests staying in rooms expensive Wheeling luggae their top and bottom of the resort. Why not take the staff out of station - service very poor, considering the price paid for the rooms (about U.S. $ 80/90 per night).

4.Very overpriced very old! And do not use the draft, if you want to live! "
I lived in Thailand for 7 years and I've never seen so much old Resort. We booked 2 nights in the network and we paid 4850 baht per night for a Deluxe Pirate Cottage. What a mistake. From my experience in Thailand, I'd say 1000 baht is the same. We also their diving on Pentecost. An error of more. We dived repeatedly. We've reached the end of the boat we met the dive master, who would plunge us Pentecost, hi was very arrogant and sad by the laws of Thailand, we have to do things exactly as you said if you don 'did not have hi would annul' immersion. We went under water and after 15 minutes of sand, has signed to go to the surface and we did. Hi said he received a panic attack and we must go back to the boat where we have a new Dive Master. Easy on the pills mate. And we paid the full cost of the case. So if you want a bra Whit dangerous dive and stay in some old premium xxxx Koh Tao Coral Grand Resort is the place and remember to bring your portfolio to choose the taxi is charging up to 300 baht to drive 1.5 km. En joy. ooh and you can not see the bottom of the pool is dirty.

5.Flies, fly, fly
Thai owned and managed hotel that is gradually ruined. Real need of renewal. That said, great site, helpful staff, eccentric and basically OK. However, their restaurant is seriously invaded by flies and nothing is being done to combat the problem (ceiling fans, etc.) We were forced to eat their meals on the porch or anywhere else. Nowhere else in the city seemed to have a serious problem. The hotel is also a diving center and food on the ship, diving was the worst we experienced during a day of diving all over the world in Thailand ... and we live here! Dive Crew great, no problem, but the restaurant has real problems
