Bangbao Beach

The key to High Season resort is its incredible beach front location and the really well designed and build pool villas. The rustic and lush exotic gardens give you a sense of relaxation. It was getting close to low season, so the staff seemed to be a bit slowed down. For a 5 star resort, we expected a bit more enthusiasm from the beach staff. Like bringing cold water on hot days and tending the beach lounges. Other than that, everyone else from front desk to room upkeep and service was great.

We stayed at the Me Dee resort for 4 nights in early January in Lodge D16. The Lodge was mediocre. It was clean and the AC was good. The mini fridge is helpful and the beds were comfy. It lacked storage space and was located next to the road, which can be noisy. The shower was absolutely rubbish (terrible pressure), and the lighting in the Bathroom was poor. We managed to get a look of Lodge next door which annoyingly was much nicer! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate and got drinks at the restaurant on a couple of occasions and the food was good, although both food and drink were slightly overpriced. The breakfast provider was disappointing, the only good points being the Coffee and the freshly cooked eggs you can order. It lacked a few other items though. The beach beds / furniture need some investment. Allot of it was dated, and falling apart, which means there’s a high demand for the limited ‘modern’ beds. I think a 3 star review is fair. What you’re paying for is the location, which cannot be beaten - the stretch of beach Me Dee is located on is arguably the best in Koh Kood. That being said, I feel the resort needs some investment here and there, which would improve my rating.
