The island’s resorts – probably due to the long time it takes to reach the island from Bangkok – continue to focus on offering 3-4 day packages, i.e., they basically cater to Bangkokians wanting a (long) weekend getaway rather than to mass market foreign tourists staying for one or two weeks.
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Captain Hook – three resorts with the same owner – are examples of how Koh Kood has gone upscale. I must admit the resorts have been done in great style/design, but I still miss how it was 10 years ago.There are also few budget resorts that attract the few remaining backpackers who still travel the globe.
The island doesn't have “facilities” to serve the cravings of sex tourists, so it is a great family destination. The island’s bays have clear water, the food is good, and unlike a few years back, the GSM and internet connections are excellent.
