Mookies Bungalows

Mookies in my opinion is the best accomodation for being close to Charlie Beach which is THE location for the island. 4 minutes walk, nice jungle style surroundings, clean open restaurant area. Lovely staff. Basic accomodation but you are very aware of this when you book it as per the price. Room is clean, get the one with aircon 100%. Shower is very weak and the bed is pretty hard but you get what you pay for. Good food offered. A very low key, backpacker style vibe, 90s style holidays with no selfies and instagram ******, just nice people relaxing. Definitely choose this one if you are researching for accomodation at Charlie Beach. There are a couple even closer but they will be noisy with all the taxis and bikes. Highly recommend as the beach is just divine and is cool to just be down the road from it. Simply stunning beach and water. You want to spend all day there and with the the heat it's fab to be so close versus needing to get a tuk tuk. Rest of island is lovely but Mookies location is ideal. Staff were fabulous, so friendly and welcoming - felt at home. All other guests were great, travellers too and just a nice vibe and great value for money.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our travelling honeymoon trip. We loved our stay. There is a lovely family feel to Mookies, everyone is so attentive and helpful. Wan in particular was always around and attending to our queries. Bert was always non-stop busy working, picking up and dropping off people or working on the grounds. We found the bungalows lovely and comfortable. I loved just sitting on the terrace and watching the wildlife. There were plenty of hornbills around and others staying at Mookies told us they saw monkeys around. Mookies is very close to Charlie beach and you can rent Kayaks from Mookies. We really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend, thank you Mookies team 💖💖💖

Lovely and quiet resort. All the staff are fantastic and hardworking. For what I paid I had a very good clean fan bungalow with all I needed, I will add photos but you can see how picturesque the resort is from other people’s photos. The food and beer very good and not expensive. You are only 50Baht per person motor bike and sidecar from the pier and small town.

A very nice and relaxed stay at at Mookies. Friendly and service minded staff that cooked excellent food and could help out with the traveling and trips around. Location is good as well, not in the village but only a few hundred meters walk to the Farrang beach.

Only a short walk from Mookies to Farang Beach, a truly tropical paradise....The bungalows at Mookies were excellent, clean and very comfortable beds. The fridge is a very nice touch. The food was quick and fast and very tasty. Of course you have other restaurants nearby if you can possibly tire of Wan and her crews offering. Nick her husband was always ready to give some advice and have a good story to share. All in all, good prices for both bungalows and food and drink.

It really feels least effort was put into the running of this establishment. The rooms look like backpacker hovels but cost more than a decent place you could get in Bangkok. The food is ridiculously bad, the rooms are sparsely furnished and the facilities in the ad on Booking are exaggerated. I guess it's about 15 years too late for the whole island. The only benefit for staying here is it's a 5 minute, really dusty, dirty walk to the best beach on the island. Barring this, the bosses of this place have some how lost their minds on what they think their rooms are worth - it should be around 300-500 baht IMO. I guess they'll just keep on pushing their least effort until nobody wants to book rooms anymore.
