About the Mayalay Resort
Mayalay is a beach resort located on the southern part of Koh Ngai's main beach. Large rattan and thatch bungalows line the sandy shore, many offering views of the small island of Koh Ma. The beach in front is among the widest and best for swimming on the island, and at low tide, you can snorkel over the reef and admire the diverse underwater world.
The resort places great emphasis on sustainability: wood, bamboo, and recycled materials are prominent features, and the zero-waste approach is well-received by guests. There is a restaurant, a bar, and a spa. Guests praise the staff for remembering their names, as well as the cuisine. While it is more expensive than the neighboring Kaimuk Thong, the bungalows offer significantly greater comfort.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
