                              The low-key, comfortable and clean Koh Jum Lodge  Resort is the island’s most up-market establishment by a mile, has beautifully  rustic bungalows and a good pool, and enjoys a pristine and secluded location.  
                            This eco-lodge oozes style: picture lots of hard  woods and bamboo, gauzy mosquito netting, manicured grounds and a  hammock-strewn curve of white sand out front – pure bliss.

                              Koh Jum Lodge has sixteen  spacious wooden cottages designed in the traditional Thai style and set in a  coconut palm plantation with a tropical garden setting.  
                            All the cottages are  located near the beach, facing Phi   Phi Island  to the West, and all benefit from sunset and sea views.  
                            The resort is located on  Golden Pearl beach, which is rocky in places. Luckily for Koh Jum Lodge  residents, however, there is a channel through these rocks directly in front of  the resort, so visitors are assured great swimming, weather permitting.

                            It is hard to find fault  with this resort – even the food in the panoramic beach-front restaurant gets  rave reviews from www.tripadvisor.com contributors, no doubt due to the  influence of the French co-owner Jean-Michel Limandas.  |

                              This resort offers great  family accommodation: “with a loft for the kids, a chaise lounge and a king  size bed with perfect pillows; it took the promise of a fine meal to entice us  out”. In the tropical garden, there are “salas” for afternoon naps and  traditional massages, and a “pétanque” and volley ball area.

                              Guest testimonial: “There are so many  fantastic, often little, but significant touches of luxury to a stay at Koh Jum  Lodge resort. Things like the delicious welcome drink, fresh flowers in the  bowls to rinse feet before entering the lodge, and the super comfortable  hammocks.  
                            The restaurant is simply superb, as is the way Jean talked us through  the menu, describing what was fresh each evening and demonstrating his passion  for food and entertaining.

                              The fish starters (we had barracuda carpaccio and mackerel  Japanese style) were especially tasty and the tom yum soup that I had one  evening was my best meal while in Thailand.  
                            We also especially enjoyed  the unscheduled daily excitements like when we saw one of the staff climbing a  coconut tree to harvest it, so the coconuts didn't fall on anybody’s head. We  were then offered a coconut straight off the tree to go with our breakfast,  delicious!”
