Macura Resort — Hotel in Ko Chang

We stayed for 6 nights. The surrounding are beautiful, lush, and very quiet and peaceful. There is not much there at all so will definitely need transport. ||There is no swimming pool and the beach is a 15 minute walk away. We stayed in the rooms off the reception. The rooms are clean but small. The water from the shower pools on the floor do you need to scrape the water into the drain otherwise it floods and sits there. The tiling should have been tilted towards the drain but wasn’t hence the flooding.||The owner is ?marcello and his wife. He was very personable and helpful. On our last evening we were chatting and told them we had early checkout to get to the first ferry. His wife did the old “there were stains on sheet you must pay”. Nothing was mentioned in the evening and I was honest enough to pay for a drink they missed but they never mentioned the sheet. They said there were pictures but the cleaner wasn’t there to show us. We dispute the claims as the room was not made up and we had 4 adults checking the room. Also she insisted on charging an extra can of coke that was purchased from 7 eleven. We had no time to dispute it that morning, which she knew as we had to get ferry, otherwise it would have been raised the previous evening. The charge was approx 300 baht but really it’s the principal of the matter.||Overall I would not recommend based on the “dirty sheet” scam of the Thai lady owner and the flooding of the floor and too isolated with no pool. We only ended up sleeping there and spent our days at much better...

We stayed at Macura Resort for six nights in December 2018 before heading off to Koh Mak in the south. We found the Macura resort to be well maintained and friendly with pleasant staff and owners on hand to help answer any questions / bookings we had.||||The resort itself is away from all of the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas and definitely requires you to hire a motorbike (which we did) or take a taxi to get anywhere. The bungalows are set in a circular pattern looking onto well maintained greenery. You don't hear the noise of the main road and so only have the wildlife to contend with. It's a fair trek to get to the beach but we would recommend going to White Sands Beach rather than down south to Lonely Beach, its less back packer-y unless thats what you're after. ||||We enjoyed our time at Macura and would definitely return. But if you are looking for social activities at the resort you would need to go elsewhere. The reception area has beers for sale from fridge but there is no bar or restaurant as such, which I guess helps keep the resort quiet and free from parties.||||The only negative point of our stay would be the one time we had the breakfast; I opted for boiled eggs and fruit only to find one rock solid (i.e well over done) and the other not cooked at all (it was warm but entirely transparent). The orange juice was great though.||||The guys at Macura were awesome at booking us a private car from our stay in Bangkok on short notice and again helped organise the speedboat to Koh Mak. Very much...

Staying at the Macura Resort on Koh Chang island was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped foot into the lush greenery of the resort's garden, I knew I was in for a serene and tranquil retreat.

One of the standout features of Macura Resort is its stunning garden. It's like stepping into a tropical paradise, with vibrant flowers, towering palm trees, and winding pathways that invite you to explore. Whether I was lounging in a hammock or strolling through the garden, I felt completely at peace surrounded by such natural beauty.

The quiet and relaxing atmosphere at the resort was exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge. It truly felt like a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

What truly sets Macura Resort apart, however, is the warmth and hospitality of the owner. From the moment I arrived, they went out of their way to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. Not only were they incredibly attentive to my needs, but they were also genuinely interested in getting to know me as a guest. I cherished our conversations and felt like I was staying with a dear friend rather than at a typical resort.

Overall, my experience at Macura Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful garden to the peaceful atmosphere to the incredibly kind owner, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem on Koh Chang island and experience its magic...
