Great location. They own beach is small, but 400 meters away is one of the best beaches on island - it is front of another low key resort, but access is public. Great cocktails in bar. Friendly, helpful staff.

Mediocre quality dinner in resort restaurant, but its not a big deal - about 1 km away are plenty of fantastic local restaurants. Isn’t it best way to explore island anyway? Resort staff helps to arrange taxi if you need one, another option is to rent scooter directly at resort.

Staff is very friendly and helpful in Thai and English. There were a few issues that got resolved straight away to satisfaction. And even a last minute transporation was sorted for us, hassle free. The small cove in which the Hide Out is sited is ideal for snorkeling. There's really a lot to see under water. Also SUP and kayaks are provided. The pool presents a great lightshow in the evening. And there's a very interesting range of cocktails at the late night bar. This year they expanded with private villas and an 'on beach' barbecue restaurant. I've been told it's really good. Motorbikes can be rented on site (but do book ahead if you want to be sure).

Turns out I have a huge head and there are only a few larger motorbike helmets available. It's is mandatory to wear helmets on motorbikes in Thailand (and a T shirt) and it's much safer too. However, this is not heavily enforced. For those looking for a large sandy beach, I advise to take a shuttle or bike to Tolani beach or walk up to Khlong Hin Beach (walk straight through the next door resort). There's a few small sand stretches in Hide Out resort itself but also wooden platforms with sun lounges over rocky shores, sun seats with straw shadings & private lounge beds in a neatly kept lawn, as well as swings on the lawn or in the water, etc. I don'tneed the sand myself but just so you know. A big negative point is you don't want to leave ;)

The hotel breakfast was delightful and served with stunning views of the sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making our stay a truly enjoyable experience on this captivating island. We rented motorbikes (for 300B) each day to explore the island's hidden gems, creating unforgettable memories during our escape to this secluded paradise.

The hotel beach slightly is small, but Koh Kood is full of incredible beaches, so not a major issue. The hotel lacks a fitness room to be perfect :P

The staff is really awesome. The young man working at the bar was phenomenal. Not only did we get some delicious drinks, it was entertaining. Reception staff was incredibly helpful. They set up our ferry and car to Pattaya while we were exploring Koh kood. Very attentive staff. We had an ocean front pool villa and, by far, it was the most amazing view! The bed is very comfortable. The seating area is inviting. Best minibar, nicely restocked every day. Bathroom was gorgeous. Geckos were cool to watch and listen to. Klong Hin is a 5 minute walk, wicked beach to check out!

The beach is too rocky for me to navigate. While we were waiting for check in, I slipped on a rock and sliced my foot open. But, that was my fault for not being careful. The pool was green and murky the first day but was quickly adjusted before we came back from our day exploring. There isn’t much not to like; the whole property is exceptional!!

A beautiful and luxurious property set in a lovely location. Very good food and service in the restaurant. Great seating areas for relaxing.

For me, as a single traveller, not wanting to hire a motor bike, the location was a bit too remote. Nothing else within walking distance and therefore I was relying on the on site facilities. The swimming pool was lovely, but not really big enough to do much swimming and the sea not that attractive for swimming, particularly as quite a lot of plastic seemed to wash onshore. Therefore, whilst I recommend the hotel for couples wanting a romantic and relaxing break, I felt it was less suitable for a single traveller such as myself. Limited English spoken by the staff

The resort itself is very beautiful. The rooms were clean and the beach is beautiful that the resort sits on. The restaurants for food were priced well. The drinks were about double the price of the rest of the island.

Lack of water refill stations which means using an unnecessary amount of plastic bottles. The location is in the middle of nowhere so you will need a motorbike. They only have one taxi driver number they'll give you and he charges you about 700thb roundtrip to go anywhere on the island.

Hideout Resort is very beautiful and the bungalows are great: Good sized, wonderful beds, nice bathroom and free snacks and soft drinks in the bungalow every day. The breakfast is not very nice. Or that is: Its very asia style. If you are from europa and don't want rice and noodles for breakfast, but want good coffee and good bread and cheese, the breakfast is not very nice. The dinner at the resort is very good. Great thai kitchen! The surroundings are very beautiful and compared to other resorts, the bungalows, the bar and the restaurant is very stylish. Everywhere you go ont the resort the style is repeated. Hideout has kajaks you can borrow for free and snorkeling masks. Scooters can be rented very cheap. The staff is very sweet and helpful.

The beach is not good, but 5 min. walking distance there is a great beach. and you can kajak from the resort to other bounty beaches. The breakfast is not very nice. Or that is: Its very asia style. If you are from Europe and don't want rice and noodles for breakfast, but want good coffee and good bread and cheese, the breakfast is not very nice. I little detail is the lightning in the restaurant and the bar. Its very sharp. And of course its nice that you can see what you are doing, but it would be the final touch to the nice design, if the light could be dimmed a bit and maybe more indirect.

It really looks like the pictures and the rooms were very nice. Payed a lot of attention to detail. There are towels at the pool you can use and the private beaches were cleaned everyday to make it look nice. The milkshakes and smoothies are really nice and the pool is also nice. Food was fine. A lot of places to relax and enjoy the sun/shadow.

The wifi was really bad in our rooms and didn't worked so we had to lay at the pool or restaurant if you want to use the wifi. So a lot of people looking at their phones in the restaurant. Also a lot of people only there to make 'fotoshoots' sometimes a bit annoying. The material to use for kayaking, SUP and snorkeling could use a renew. We went supping and had glass fiber over our bodies. So be aware of that.

Beautiful resort - one of those from Instagram pictures! Very well maintained garden and common areas. Villas nicely decorated and comfortable. Superb pool with water jets. Free SUP and kayaks to use. Decent breakfast although not many western choices. The restaurant casters for Asian guests mainly.

The beach at the hotel is not the best.

Very clean well maintained resort. Great staff who made us feel very welcome. The resort caters for small children but does need more baby chairs ( they have 1 only). The breakfast is a buffet style with a selection of thai and western food and pastries. Eggs made to order anyway you like..no bacon!!!! Coffee good. The restaurant has a great chef and is not too expensive..the Thai food is superb. Drinks are pricey 120 baht for a small Singh beer!!! So get your beer at the local shop about 1km down the road( near the small petrol station). You get free snacks everyday and soft drinks plus water and coffee ( instant). The Pool is small but clean with a sort of jacuzzi to the left. It also has a nice shallow end.

The beach is very rocky and so not small child friendly ( good for snorkeling with coral making a comeback!). However the resort next door ( less than 5 mins walk has a beautiful long sandy beach...which saves the day for kids...) you need to hire a scooter about 200 baht a day to get around the island..so you need to be prepared to take you kids on these or rent a taxi (700 baht plus). The rooms really need an outside chair and table on the verandas..At breakfast the tables are not numbered..so keep track of you egg order if its busy!
