Find hotels near Koh Libong in Trang, Thailand

If I had to describe the Andalay Beach Resort on Koh Libong in a single sentence I would say that it's a very nice, boutique sized,rustic-Thai style, beach side, resort with friendly staff who go out of their way to please. I only stayed at the resort for 4 nights but in that time I got a good feeling for the resort, it's staff and the amenities and location that it offers. Koh Libong is a small, very uncommercialised island so if partying all night long is what you're looking for then both the resort and island are not for you, however if an unspoilt Thai island and a relaxing time fit your bill then this could be what you're looking for. While at the resort I hired a motor bike, you can see most of the island and what it has to offer in a day or less, went cycling, hill walking, running on the beach, walked to a nearby island at low tide, went swimming, saw a beautiful sunset, went looking for and failed to see dugong, sea mammals that feed in the local waters, and had some great Thai and western food at the resort restaurant. And with more time I could have gone snorkeling, kayaking and out on a long-tailed boat tour. So a resort to relax in but also much to do if your looking looking for distraction from resting. The staff were all helpful and friendly but the lady at reception, who's name I didn't get, was particularly helpful with much of what I did so I attach her photo as an example of the great resort staff. Just a few other comments, I think Andalay is the best resort on the island, I certainly didn't see any other similar styled or quality resorts on my travels, Andalay has 21 double rooms / chalets with another 2 being built, so small in size, there are no well stocked shops on the island, many small local convenience stores but nothing larger, and outside of the resort there were few alternative places to eat, so for me important that the food at the Andalay is good.

We have stayed at the Libong Beach resort before and loved it and we returned. We had a fantastic stay, the rooms were great as always and food fantastic. Cuisine option is limited to Thai but its wonderful with spectacular seafood dishes. The staff were excellent and friendly as always. There was a bit of a confusion on the room type - We had booked a beachfront bungalow through agoda but that was not available when we got to the resort. They put us in another comfortable room with a partial sea view and then changed us to a full sea facing room the following day. The confusion in the booking seemed to be a comunication lapse between bookings done directly through the resort vesus those done through agoda and the availability is possibly not always synced. We had no problem since they gave us an equally good alternative, but would be good to ensure this mix up does not happen.

From our frontside bungalows we could see the wide sea curvature of the Earth and Sunsets bringing back memories from Boracay in the Philippines. Some bungalows right on the sandy private beach but all have seaview. Best to swim at high tide. The owners love their animals, and Laila, the oldest is a friendly dog, responding to our long distance calls. The white cat love to be photographed and to view herself in the mirror. The thaifood in the small restaurant is very good, beer is served and the relaxed staff do their best for their guests. If you want to have a glimps of the last dugongs in the world they arrange a Longtail-boat, 1000 Baht, paid directly to the boatman. Arrival at Koh Libong by Tiger-line + the local crowded longtailboat is not recommended as you arrive at the east side of Koh Libong and have to travel 9 kilometer by Tuk-Tuk-Taxi to the West Coast. The staff are helpful to find alternatives

Sea Breeze offers comfy and clean rooms in a lovely garden at few meters from the beach with a perfect spot for sunset. The place also has a restaurant (best pizzas for us in Thailand and great local grilled seafood ) and a firecamp where local people and tourists can meet easily. If you're lucky you can even enjoy live music shows but never too late so it's not bothering you for sleeping. A very nice atmosphere thanks also to the good english speaking staff ready to help you to organise your trip in Libong at fair prices. Moreover, Libong island was our best discovery in Thailand, we wanna stay 2 days but we stuck in the place for 2 weeks!
