Confirmed on Booking.com (9.2 from 1,132 reviews) and Agoda (9.4 from 486 reviews), checked 16-17 September 2026. Area taken from the property's own address, which states Chalok Baan Kao. Sub-scores and facilities read from the Booking.com property page. We have not stayed here.
It was around ฿1,334 a night for 15 to 18 November 2026 (there was no price for 12 to 15 January 2027), and it has a pool.
The scores back the price up rather than excusing it. Staff 9.9, value for money 9.5, location 9.3, and nothing on the board below 9.0. Over 1,600 reviews across the two platforms, so this is not a small sample getting lucky.
Location is worth a second look. MAR24 sits in the Chalok Baan Kao village and guests score it 9.3. Being in the village rather than on the headland means food and dive shops are a short walk.
What you do not get is a beach outside the door or a restaurant on site. It is a small, well run hotel with a pool, a tour desk and a shuttle. For a dive trip, where you are out on a boat most mornings anyway, that is often exactly the right amount of hotel.
Best for
A pool and a quiet bay

You want resort facilities or a beachfront room
