The Cinnamon Art Resort and Spa in Mak

Sadly, this place is necleted and left to crumble. Once you paid an entrance fee, you can walk out on the pier, which is not maintained, but was still safe to walk on. Facilities like restaurant and bar are closed, which is a shame given the view on the sea. The jungle takes it all back.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL.

My friend and I were exploring the island and came across this hotel because it had a long pier called A Bridge to Dreams or whatever. It is an abandoned resort! We don’t understand why you’re still able to book on Agoda and online. Please save your money and stay elsewhere on the island. The photos on Google are catfish! It’s not maintained at all and has a creepy vibe.

Short Story Long (don't book):
We we're in the lucky Situation, that we don't had to stay there.
We just went there for visiting the long pier. We recognize that there is also an abanndoned Resort and we started to discover the lost place. We felt like in a Horror movie and started to explore everything. We didn't meet any personnel nowhere, so that we had once more the feeling, that it's abandoned. After discovering the whole Hotel including storages and empty reception, we moved on.
At the Info point at Koh mak we asked about the lost place and she told us that it's still in use.
Long Story short: DON'T BOOK

I came here to The Cinnamon Art Resort on Koh Mak (Nov 27, 2021) to have dinner at sunset. The place is very deserted but I know the restaurant is open because I had lunch here two days ago when the waitress brought me a totally wrong dish (without a hint of apology). On the way down to the restaurant a woman at the resort shop stopped me demanded 50 baht entrance fee. I said I’m coming here for dinner but she still demanded payment. I really can’t tolerate such behavior so I took my dinner money elsewhere. I’ll never return and I’ll
write more about this in my travel blog.

Not a very good experience.

Upon arriving at the pier, there was nobody there to pick us up. We called to find out what the deal was, but nobody answered the phone, so we ended up getting a normal driver to take us. Halfway, we met with someone from the cinnamon resort, who didn't say anything upon meeting us.

When we got to the hotel, the reception only said that our stay didn't include free breakfast and told us where the swimming pool was, then morbidly showed us to our room.

I didn't realize that our rooms were the cheaper option without a seaside view. Our bedding smelled musty, the bathroom was dirty, and the room was small and felt uncared for.

We were the only customers during our 2 day stay (rainy season), but the huge resort felt like a ghost town with hardly any staff there either.

It just seemed everywhere you looked there was another thing that made you think "wow, that looks old" or "why haven't they thrown that away?" or "this hasn't been cleaned in a while".

It looks like it could be a wonderful resort if the staff was friendlier and they took care of the place. There's a huge pier you can walk on, some nice elements to the beach (though not great for swimming), and the food was okay.

I would recommend staying someplace else.

WORST PLACE I`VE STAYED IN THAILAND - DO NOT STAY HERE. We arrived at the pier and while everyone else was collected and taken to their resort, no one from Cinnamon was there to greet us. Instead we had to call the resort ourselves and tell them they had guests arriving. After 1hr someone eventually arrived in a rusted old pickup truck. When we got to the resort there were no apologies. In fact when we checked in, they said nothing. Just gave us the key and that was it. No mention of what time breakfast starts, what the Wi-Fi password is etc. The room itself was appalling. Parts of the ceiling were coming away. There was exposed wiring sockets. The doors didn't close properly. The bathroom was smelly and dirty. Worst of all, the room was like a furnace. One small aircon unit cannot keep that area cool. So the room is not usable during the day. Instead we went to look at the pool. The water was not clear and clean but cloudy. So the pool was a no go area also. As it was high season there was nowhere else to stay, but had there been, I would have left and gone somewhere else. We asked about a snorkelling trip. They said THB 1000 per person. The next day they said it was THB 450 per person. So they can't even get their prices right. They do have kayaks at the resort which they say are for guests only, but .... you have to pay if you want to use them! Terrible place. DO NOT stay here
