Khao Lak hotellia

Plussat: Beautiful resort! Staff is wonderful, no request too large! Manicured Gardens! Very peaceful (no children under 12 yrs). Shared small pools at bungalows, very relaxing with water jets and lounge chairs. Lovely, long beach. Lots of beach hut restaurant bars near by. Great breakfast buffet, room service and restaurant menu!

Plussat: Service is excellent, the resort is clean well maintained and rooms are very nice quality. Pool and beach side are very nice compared to others resorts around. Not too much people and adult only make it nice place to relax ( on poolside otherwise road is noisy ) Restaurant is good value.

Miinukset: Part of the rooms are really closed to the national road. Unfortunately I had one of these rooms. You can hear all day heavy motorbike trucks etc... I would say before arriving to the lobby all rooms can hear the noises of the road which makes holiday really less quiet than expected. Breakfast could be improved with better products.

Plussat: WE had 2 pool access villas. The room is great and the pool is great- but also the main pool is very very nice, we spent time in both. It was low season the place was so calm and quite and relaxed. I highly recommend this place. the room is very good. the only down side is that the room room had a smell - it was solved by burners but I think they should make sure to always have a burner in the rooms! its very humid outside so its understandable. the gym is very very small but has a treadmill and weights. breakfast was good-excellent omelets!!!

Miinukset: Burners in the room

Plussat: Location to the beach was excellent. Literally from the pool to the sea. But best of all is the staff and their service. Delightful.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: It is a small, secluded and quiet adults only resort. The rooms and facilities are stunning and the service from the young staff was outstanding . I couldn’t recommend it enough for any couple who just wants to get away and reenergise in this romantic setting.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Delightful beach front location Fine pool with Jacuzzi’s Dense vegetation planted around discrete boardwalks thru the site Pristine white room great shower comfy bed

Miinukset: My terrace was tiny with only one chair I booked two rooms, the description “bungalow”in my booking confirmation was not what we got exactly - We got a room each in a two storey block - perfectly nice rooms of course but the booking confirmation said that I had booked “two bungalows” ...misleading?

Plussat: Staffs​ service​, location, facilities​

Miinukset: Quite​ old​

Plussat: Aamupala täydellinen, paljon vaihtoehtoja joka makuun. Siivous huoneessa oli myös erinomaista. Huone omalla uima-allaskäynnillä ihana.

Miinukset: Hotellin vastaanottovirkailija väärällä alalla. Ei hymyn häivähdystäkään mennessä,tulessa tai palatessa...

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: The restaurant was a bit too dark.

Plussat: I highly recommend staying here for a calm, romantic break. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff were all extremely professional, efficient and helpful. The little pool we had outside our room was a nice quirk and great for a dip in between sunbathing. Room service was cheap and fast. I think the price of food and drinks overall was very reasonable for such a luxury resort.

Miinukset: The wifi signal from our villa was very poor and intermittent. It got much stronger once in the restaurant or by the main pool. We live in Thailand and had our own car. It would be more tricky to get out and about with one.

Plussat: Everything, absolutely amazing staff and stunning hotel grounds

Miinukset: Rooms too dark , showers take too long to warm up

Plussat: Direct access on the beach. Lovely pool, nice quiet rooms. Breakfast was fine with good coffee

Miinukset: No service around the pool, only when happy hour started. Too messy around the pool bar ( boxes with bottles and cartoons gathering around the bar :-).

Plussat: A gold star for our holiday in paradise. We live in urban China, and our stay was just what the doctor ordered - tranquil and relaxing in the rainforest setting, with the beach right in front. The sunsets were incredible. We had privacy and it was peaceful. We enjoyed the smaller number of rooms compared to the larger resorts nearby.

Miinukset: Nothing. It was all fabulous, and we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay. There are stairs that lead down through the property to the beach level, so access isn't straight forward for prams or those with mobility issues. Don't let this put you off though - it is worth it for the location among the trees. If you are worried - ask for a ground floor room or upgrade to one of the beachfront villas.

Plussat: I stand fully by my review of 21 October 2018. Very happy to have come back. Great place to stay for a lovely relaxing quiet time. Unfortunately they have stopped putting incense in the room and turning the bed down and that is a shame as it gave the place the edge. Had I not stayed before I would never have known..... We used the beach restaurant next door more this time and had great food and drinks there...recommend it.

Miinukset: No longer put incense in the room, flower on the bed or turn it down for you.

Plussat: Beautiful, small hotel, set in a stunning rainforest garden. Lovely rooms. The Rainforest villas are gorgeous. Bar, restaurant & spa prices all very reasonable. Very warm & friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: What a delightful place! Beautiful gardens great staff.

Plussat: Rauhallinen ja mukava paikka. Loistavat rannat suoraan hotellilta.

Plussat: We liked the setting amongst the lush tropical bush which offered both sun and natural shade Staff were fantastic and breakfasts by Dom the head chef was delicious. We extended our stay 5 nights because its a lovely place

Miinukset: My only complaint was the Grand Deluxe room with sea views we chose (not knowing was up on the hill) required a lot of stairs and walking. I have bad knees and it was a chore to try and get a downgrade to a unit more suitable near a lift. Finally after signing off we got the downgrade and have thoroughly enjoyed our 12 nights here

Plussat: Location is excellent! Right on the beach and just on the southern edge of town. Large rooms. Friendly, helpful staff.

Plussat: The beach was nice and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The hotel offers transport as well as tours for a reasonable price and reliable. We took a hotel taxi to a beach a little bit away and agreed on a pick up time. The driver was very punctual.

Miinukset: The walls of the rooms were a little bit thin. you could hear guests partying further down. The breakfast had a lot of Variety with western options as well as Asian options. However the Asian options were toned down to western tastes, which I didn't like. But I assume, most guests were pleased with this.

Plussat: good breakfast, pools clean (although a little shallow). Good location to eats

Miinukset: pools shallow

Plussat: Hyvä ja siisti hotelli, oma ranta sekä hyvät palvelut. Hotellilla päivittäin liikunnallista ym. ohjelmaa.

Miinukset: Siitä, että rantavahti kävi keräämässä pois pyyhkeitä sekä henkilökohtaisia tavaroita aurinkotuoleilta sinä aikana, kun olimme käymässä hotellihuoneessa.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The bed and room were comfortable, the staff were incredibly helpful and polite, the breakfast was great, the pools were great

Miinukset: For me personally I just felt the resort was lacking a little soul

Plussat: beautiful setting breakfast excellent variety we have been to many resorts yours by far the best staff were friendly

Miinukset: nothing couldn't fault it

Plussat: The layout of the property was sensational set right on the beach. Our beach front room was spacious with loads of storage, the pools were great and the entire staff was polite and professional.

Plussat: The staff were excellent and very accommodating. The facilities were excellent and the restaurants great considering I had an intolerance, which they catered to very well. The room was spacious and we had a shower and a bath which was great. Definitely recommend.

Plussat: This was a gem of a resort and we loved everything about it - location and the smaller size was perfect. All the staff were amazing and we were made to feel very special & it was the same for other guests too. We loved the location as it was quiet & right by the water but close enough to walk to local restuarants & bars. We would visit again for sure !

Plussat: What a service

Plussat: Excellent breakfast included in the price and plenty of choices

Miinukset: Nothing everything was brilliant

Plussat: Close to the water and short walk to shops, bars, restaurants and markets. Absolutely loved my stay and great value for money. Would highly recommend

Plussat: Most wonderful. Very good breakfast, very good location. Friendly and efficient staff. Most recommended

Plussat: Everything here was perfect. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so special and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a beachfront hut with spa bath and all of the facilities were wonderful. The photos on the internet don’t do true justice to just how beautiful this is and how happy we were made for this pleasant surprise. Jai greeted us upon arrival and for the whole week ensured we had everything we needed and wanted. Each morning the beautiful greetings at our excellent included breakfast by Soo and Yada and the team set the tone for our day! In the afternoons the beautiful sisters May and Mook smiled their way through Happy Hour keeping the cocktails flowing to us in the pool. The sunsets at this place were incredible. Ni and her team did the most wonderful job of our room twice a day. They knew it was our wedding anniversary and they went to so much trouble to make it lovely. (See photos) The location is fantastic being 1km easy stroll or borrow a free push bike to the Bang Niang markets. Food and drink in the hotel was competitively priced allowing for the convenience. We will definitely return.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: On arrival we were greeted so warmly and instantly began to relax because the resort is so peaceful. Tranquil would be the best way to describe it. We never heard anyone around our room at all. Yet the resort was fully occupied. The room was spacious, clean with all we'd want to be comfortable. Initially the bed was too firm for us. It was no problem at all for them to put a mattress topper on it. Three elements we cherished were the sounds of the waves in the background, watching the rain under clear perspex cover in the outdoor spa bath and sitting out on the veranda overlooking the ocean sipping a morning cuppa. Breakfast was something we very much looked forward to each day. Seated overlooking the ocean. Plenty of salad/fruit choices, tea choices, cereals, yogurts, breads, fruit juices, some veggie dishes, Thai dishes made to order or eggs/bacon made to our liking. And... as many cappuccinos (that were really good cappuccinos) as wanted. For the non dairy drinkers, there is soy or coconut milk as an alternative. We had a hire car and very much appreciated the dedicated vehicle parking at the front of the resort (included in the price) or that we could use the resort's push bikes (for free) if wanted. Within easy walking/riding distance there are plenty of massage places and restaurants. At the end of the road the resort is on, again within walking or riding distance, is a beach. We enjoyed an ocean swim there each morning before returning to the resort's crystal clean infinity pool overlooking the ocean. If you are wanting somewhere serene to unwind, with great food, ocean views, clean comfy well appointed rooms, excellent wifi and only to happy to help staff, look no further. The Chongfah Resort is a peaceful haven.

Miinukset: Zip

Plussat: everything best place to stay in kho lak

Plussat: The owner was very helpful.. the room super clean..we really enjoyed our stay here !

Plussat: Perfect Staff. Nice and helpfully.

Plussat: Owner and staff, cleanliness, coffee(from Ruk coffee) and location(nearby International Tsunami Museum).

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Everything out there

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: breakfast was extra but good value

Miinukset: there were no mattresses on sunbeds very uncomfortable no parasols surly cleaning girls had to complain about cleanliness of room especially the bathroom on a very busy dangerous main road 3 fatalities while we were there

Plussat: Cleanliness, value for money, location, pool

Miinukset: Like all beds in Thailand, the bed was fairly hard but certainly not the hardest we have had.

Plussat: We hawe already stayed in this hotel for 3 times.. And everytime we were absolutely satisfied. Thanks to the Staff, they are excellent.

Plussat: The territory is super if you want quite and peaceful time. A lot of shadow places under the beautiful trees. Beach was very nice, clean waters with nice sand. Big advantage is that can swim during low and high tides without problems.

Miinukset: Restaurant should offer authentic Thai food as well. After all hotel is in Thailand :))

Plussat: It is a gorgeous hotel with really really friendly staff. Client service from the front desk to the people that cleaned our room was always superv and always with the biggest smiles. The hotel is beautiful with amazing swimming pools and right in front of a beautiful stretch of beach. Breakfast buffet was really good and varied. The gardens in the hotel are really well maintained and although the hotel is massive you don't feel like you are in a big building and it manages to create a sense of boutique.

Miinukset: As a photographer I had requested a room with good views as I wanted to showcase the property in one of my articles about Khao Lak, but I guess they couldn't accommodate that ,as our room was one of the worst located in the property and we had to walk through winding corridors and stairs to get anywhere. Having said that the Hotel has such beautiful gardens and swimming pools that the walk was very pleasant. The area where the hotel is located has a few so so restaurants (for Thailand where the food is amazing everywhere) and little more.

Plussat: - Nice green territory; - Great sand beach; - Excellent breakfasts; - Interesting room design. Especially ceiling; - Restaurant with nice dishes and friendly prices.

Plussat: EVERYTHING!!!!! Cleanliness, staff, value for money and the hospitality is above and beyond..and the buffet breakfast that gives you a variety of food daily.

Miinukset: NOTHING!!!!!

Plussat: The beach is beautiful. Very green territory.

Miinukset: It’s more for elderly Germans. Quite boring place. But after all I liked it. A bit dated facilities but still beautiful greenery

Plussat: Staff remembered I needed gluten free bread each morning which was a nice touch

Miinukset: I was bitten by a feral dog, one of five that ran at me, just south of the hotel. Very, very unimpressed that in this day and age this still happens and can so easily be remedied. Suffice to say I have many inconvenient appointments ahead as need 5 rabies vaccinations as well as other treatment. Far too many cats wandering the grounds and sleeping on our outdoor washing.

Plussat: clean, staff.location, value to money..service

Miinukset: a bit limited parking space, but considering the area and price, wouldnt be the case

Plussat: It is an excellent place to stay if you like to stay in khao lak village, beds are comfortable, rooms are clean, well located, kind and helpful staff and great breakfast! The owner took good care of us, we felt like at home. Totally recommended.

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Sängyt tosi kovat nukkua ja kolmannen kerroksen huoneeseen kuului öisin meteliä katolla sijaitsevasta laitteesta.

Plussat: Nat was one of the friendliest hosts I’ve ever met. Nothing was any trouble for her. I was able to leave my suitcase whilst out on a live aboard and she organised a taxi (last minute) to my next destination. Breakfast was tasty too. Great place to stay before going diving from Khao Lak

Plussat: The location ist very good near to all the bars and restaurants, close to the main road also but not really noisy. The owner was very nice und helpful gave us great tips. The breakfast was also very nice with fresh fruit and eggs. For the small price we paid it was definitely worth it.

Miinukset: Small rooms with old furniture, the bathroom was very spartan. No possibility to dry the clothes. No hair dryer. It is near a swamp so there are many mosquitoes in the evening.

Plussat: Nice location, about 10 minutes walking to the beach and alot of restaurants around. So warm and welcoming people that work here. I was taken really good care of. Excellent breakfast! They can arrange trips for you and transport.

Plussat: The Staffs are Amazing.

Plussat: Near food market.

Miinukset: Charge for beach towel use. Breakfast not good for me. Towels not changed every day.

Plussat: Very nice property, location very close to local restaurants, shops and market Nice stretch of beach just infront

Miinukset: Restaurant and Bar Service staff does not seem very motivated.

Plussat: Many pools. Kids club is very big with lots of different games and activity. Breakfast is varied and tasty.

Miinukset: This hotel does not give the taste of Thailand at all ! It could might as well be in Greece or Spain.... The beach is a big miss!!! no sunbeds or umbrellas on the beach. The hotel restaurants are very expensive comparing to the city. Opening hours of the water slides are limited, causing long queues.

Plussat: Water park. Room Balcony. Grounds

Miinukset: Food quality and service is not at all good and certainly not 5 stars. Frequent smells of septic systems. The room was advertised at 55sq m but was at most 48 sq m. Hotel was sold out and seated us outside at a rusty fold up table that did not even have a table cloth. Staff english except at reception seemed poorer than one should expect for a 5 star resort. Almost 20 minute wait for replacement pool towels. No places for easy towel exchanges - rather staff have to call and u have to wait.

Plussat: Todella hyvä palvelu, aamupalat erittäin hyvät ja monipuoliset, lapsille tekemistä, kerhot ja upeat vesiliukumäet, rannalla ja omat altaat myös aikuisille. Keskusta vieressä ja huoneistot siistit, isot ja palvelu loistavaa.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti

Miinukset: Huoneen vaihto kesken loman (katto vuoti sateella ja huone oli muutenkin tosi kostea). Saimme paremman huoneen.

Plussat: We always have a pool access room, which are fantastic.

Miinukset: Air conditioner was just a little noisy.

Plussat: Erittäin siisti ja mukava hotelli. Loistava aamiainen, Peace allas-alue rauhallinen ja mukava K -12v. , aurinkovuoteita riittävästi, ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Vieressä olevasta rakennustyömaasta kantautui melua ja siitä olisi pitänyt ilmoittaa etukäteen.

Plussat: Did not like anything about this place Oh actually 1 thing, the guy who made cocktails at the beach bar was very good

Miinukset: Room full of mosquitos when i checked in. I managed to kill about 20 before asking reception to come and spray my room. When i came back later had a lot of dead mosquitos all over the floor. Swimming pools are tiny and not as appear in the marketing photos All the staff are from myanmar Hotel guests all German so dont expect to get any sun loungers or a seat in the bar in happy hour When they clean your room......You guessed it....They leave the door wide open to fill the room with mosquitos again...... I could go on.......

Plussat: Lovely resort style and excellent location ,friendly staff.

Miinukset: The trash opposite the reception still there when we there. Please do something may be can talk with other property to get rid of it.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: What a beautiful place!

Plussat: Perfect! Walk to the beach only few minutes, Restaurants many choice for guest. 2 pools with sea view. Staff who’s cleaning my room very polite always smile doing her job! Excellent!!

Miinukset: Nothing !

Plussat: Aamiainen aivan hyvä ja palvelu hyvä. Huoneiden valastus huono, lukeminen lähes mahdoton vuoteessa ennen nukkumaan menoa.

Plussat: Monipuolinen raikas aamiainen.

Plussat: Staff so very helpful I cannot walk well but was always attended The brolleys may need some tlc

Miinukset: The weather

Plussat: Breakfast, staff, rooms

Miinukset: The beach was very rocky. In the afternoon it was hardly enjoyable to swim.

Plussat: It was the third time we came to this hotel , so we knew what we should expect , but we didn’t expect that the hotel will become much worse within one year . is sad to see the hotel degradation . The only thing that we liked was sea , and green territory.

Miinukset: We asked in advance for quiet room with king bed, as result upon arrival we got the noisy room near the road close to garbage collection point with 2 small beds . We asked to change for another room , and another one was still near the road . all those changes of room are really tiring , especially considering the fact that we arrived late at night and were super tired . No even welcome drink suggested to refresh ! And next day we had to change the room again as was not possible to sleep with such noise . The new room was super dark even in day time , and we also got the bacon smelling towels . The cleanliness really should be improved .The staff seems not care much about the guests , especially the breakfast staff not friendly and even rude . The hot water in the room is light warm only , be prepared to take shower with warm water instead of hot . The beach towels can be changed only in the room, so need to change in advance , or be prepared to wait 1 hour for those . All together made us unhappy about the stay .We will not come again .

Plussat: Kokonaisuutena erittäin hyvä hotelli, jossa monipuoliset palvelut ja todella ystävällinen henkilökunta. Huone oli kaunis ja allasalue viihtyisä. Loistava aamiainen.

Miinukset: Ei mitään moitittavaa.

Plussat: staff and service went the exta step nothing was a problem and would highly relate to this as one of the best resorts i have stayed at

Miinukset: the only negative was the restaraunt service was terrible food was average if only they catered for the guests prices were over the top we ate across the road 12 out of the 13 nights we stayed there it was totally overated and management need to really look at this as the rest of the resort had a 5 stars we will return here and hopefully this can fixed as our experience at dinner was not very pleasant or memorable suggest you eat at the golden elephant across the road. also my wife is an avid reader there were no english books in the library onle catered for german tourists

Plussat: The staff ensured everthing from check in to departure was stress free, the resort being pretty much a piece of paradise. Overall the Laguna exceeded every expectation, and made our honeymoon a very special and memorable stay.

Miinukset: It is a real struggle to find anything that failed to impress. In fact after a lot of thought the only thing that was missing were baked beans for the breakfast (which was always delicous without the beans anyway)!

Plussat: Great place - so clean and right on the beach

Miinukset: Found the pool side restaurant staff packed attention - they didn’t really pay much attention to the guests and took ages to come and take an order for food or drink

Plussat: Excellent location & staff are fantastic

Miinukset: Expensive for a 4*, needs a bit of an update in places and would be worth the money

Plussat: Hotellin taso ei vastannut luokitusta

Plussat: Adequate buffet breakfast that included a few asian dishes, eggs, bacon, sausages, cereals, breads/toast, fruit, yoghurt and fabulous pancakes.

Miinukset: Birds stealing food from plates at breakfast and being quite aggressive. Room was ok but not as luxurious as portrayed in photos on site and whilst there was fabulous water pressure in the shower, the bathroom needed upgrading - chipped tiles etc.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly room was excellent.

Miinukset: Price of meals and drinks

Plussat: - Very nice clean rooms with wooden furniture, floors and ornaments in great gardens - Everything is well maintained - Very helpfull correct staff - Nice, big swimming pool with good beds and poolbar/restaurant - Huge breakfast buffet - Two minutes walk to the beach - Very nearby lots of restaurants and shops - We first booked 3 nights, but extend to 5. - Great value for money (especially during low season)

Miinukset: No negative things.

Plussat: Wonderful hotel in a great location, with superb a breakfast. Staff also very helpful.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Aamiainen erittäin monipuolinen ja muutenkin erinomainen. Tilava thai-tyylinen bungalowi. Siistit, kivetyt käytävät piha-alueilla. Hyvin toimiva wifi-yhteys. Hymyilevä, palvelualtis henkilökunta. Lämmintä vettä riitti suihkussa kaikkina vuorokauden aikoina. Hyvä sijainti muuten, vaikka ei ihan rannalla ollutkaan.

Miinukset: Hinta-laatusuhde ei ainakaan tammikuussa ihan paras mahdollinen. Yön hinta thaimaalaisittain aikaisempiin reissuihin verrattuna korkea. Läheisellä rannalla ei ollut muita ravintoloita, kuin hotellien, mutta tämä taitaa olla käytäntö muuallakin Khao Lakissa. Bungalowin pääoven edustalla oleva terassi olisi voinut olla suurempi.

Plussat: Lovely hotel excellent staff and facilities would definitely recommend

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing

Plussat: Beautiful green surroundings , very polite and helpful staff, excellent spa and breakfast team - Dan and Charlie very good .

Miinukset: I wish they could clean there roofs and if thai food at Big tree could be more authentic

Plussat: It was nearby everything and stuff was very positive.

Miinukset: Pool area wasn’t good.

Plussat: The location is good it’s a 5 mins from bars and restaurants and a 1 min walk from the beach. The spa was excellent with a great massage. The breakfast was also excellent.

Miinukset: I booked a Thai bungalow. The photos showed an indoor bath with an outdoor seating area. This is the reason why I booked this hotel. When I was shown to my room there was no indoor bath only an outdoor bath in a very small area. The bath was full of leaves and the path to it was covered in moss. They came to clean the bath but it was still not acceptable. I was initially told there was an alternative room available with an indoor bath however this was not the case. The only option was to downgrade my room. After discussion I agreed with a massage as compensation. The room I got had been a twin room. They pushed the beds together but 2 quilts remained. Apparently they didn’t have a spare quilt large enough for the bed.

Plussat: Beautiful spacious resort with wonderful surroundings

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti ja ihana henkilökunta

Miinukset: Vähän jo kulunut hotelli yleisilmeeltään. Uima-allasalue kaipaisi remonttia ja altaat myös. Kala-altaat myös olivat aika ajoin haisevia. Hotellin henkilökunta kuitenkin korvasi puutteita, aivan superihania ja avuliaita. Kiva perheloma ja sopiva lapsiperheille.

Plussat: Very pretty resort located directly at the beach. Super friendly staff that does everything to make you feel comfortable. Two pools and a beautiful beach right in front of the resort. Quiet and peaceful, feels like being right in the jungle. The breakfast was very nice.

Miinukset: It's quite far off Khao Lak, a Taxi will take you to the "centre" for 100 baht. Also walkable, takes about half an hour via the beach, probably quicker via the road but also not as safe I suppose. The food in the restaurant was overpriced and of mediocre quality. 1 minute up the beach however there is a place called Andalay Bar which serves tasty and cheap Thai food. One night we discovered two cockroaches rumbling in a bag of cookies we had left lying around open. Not sure if it's the hotel's fault, but we kept windows and doors shut all the time because of the mosquitos, so they either found a hole somewhere or had already been in the room.

Plussat: - Staff : Friendly, helpful, warm welcome - Location : Next to the beach - Facilities : All you need is in tge hotel - Free room upgraded

Miinukset: - very very poor wifi connection

Plussat: Clean quiet friendly staff Location

Miinukset: Expensive for a late cheak out 300 Bath I was told

Plussat: Amazing hotel, very beautiful territory, clean beach, nice room, good restaurant and polite personal! I recommend this hotel for holidays with family, very quiet and beautiful place!

Plussat: We stayed in the suites. The rooms are spacious with a lot of day light. Super clean. The balcony is huge and I loved to chill in the outdoor large bed. The breakfast is served in the garden restaurant by the sea. Very important - the coffee is really good! :) Staff always helpful & friendly. We visited in the low season so the place was not too crowded, there were always free sun beds both by the pool and by the sea.

Miinukset: Maybe I was not lucky that day but the thai massage was not the best I ever had.

Plussat: The large room

Miinukset: Extra charge if you like to have cappuccino for breakfast. No free shuttle to the city center. I don't like if they don't offer you a kids meal menue when they see that you have a child with you. Long ways to the breakfast/ beach when you are in the building close to the lobby. Other hotels would have shuttles to bring the guests.

Plussat: Large resort complex on the beachfront. Reception staff very friendly and welcoming. We had two suites in the block nearest to the main lobby & gym. Very well appointed suites, huge double bed, large balcony, clean and modern. Two nice pools, restaurant serves breakfast as well as food throughout the day. Dinner well priced and good quality. Staff throughout were friendly. Onsite shop handy and open until late. Useful shuttle to town three times a day. 300 Baht for trip back from Khao Lak by taxi.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was beautiful. Very relaxing. Great beach. Restaurant were great. Absolutely loved the outside shower!!

Plussat: Staff very accomodating and friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing all very good

Miinukset: Staff are not professional

Plussat: Rannat olivat todella hienot. Hotellin lähellä olevat ravintolat olivat hyvätasoisia. Hotelli oli kauniilla paikalla ja sopi erinomaisesti etenkin rauhallista kohdetta hakevalle.

Miinukset: Ei mitään erityistä valittamista.

Plussat: Staffs are nice. Room is comfortable and equipped with full amenities. Air-con, shower and all the lighting work properly. Overall stay is wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We had a jacuzzi villa with a sea view and it was amazing. The staff were just amazing particularly housekeeping and in the restaurant.

Miinukset: Was worth having a moped to explore the local area particularly liked white sand beach.

Plussat: Aamupala oli todella hyvä ja kattava. Omasta huoneesta oli hieno käydä heti aamu-uinnilla omalta terassilta. Mahtava paikka viettää hieman luksuselämää.

Miinukset: Hotellin oman ravintolan a'la carte ruoka ei ollut hintansa arvoista. Kävimmekin useimpana iltana lähi-alueen muissa ravintoloissa.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, right on the beach with the best swimming pool! Happy hour from 4-5pm, the cocktails are delicious. Our favourite were the strawberry daiquiris! Staff very helpful and friendly- particularly Rakesh who went out of his way to help us with drinks, food and putting up the parasol- thank you Rakesh. Restaurants along the road by the Khaolak hotel are lovely. Andaman was our favourite restaurant- beautiful Massaman curry and Prawns! Then go along to Day and Night Bar for drinks with Joy the owner who is the loveliest person you would meet. We met her two years ago and went back to see her- the best bar in Khao Lak! Thank you for a lovely stay- we will be back! Also, one thing for improvement is to have staff on reception that speak good English as it was very difficult to explain or ask for very simple things eg. Can we book a taxi, where can we find paracetamol. Staff on the pool bar had much better English than people on Reception which is very odd! We were told that they employ cheap staff during non-peak time (August) so they don’t speak much English. But during busy periods October- May, they employ better staff on Reception who speak better English but are paid more. I was horrified by this as you need to have people on Reception that can speak good English to help customers otherwise it makes it very difficult to ask the most basic of questions.

Miinukset: Same breakfast choices every day- very boring.

Plussat: Aamupala oli hyvä ja kattava. A la carte menu oli kattava ja jokainen annos oli hyvää. Allasalue oli upea, viihtyisä ja siisti. Hotellille kannattaa suunnata mikäli haluaa täysin rentoutua ja pysyä enimmäkseen hotellin alueella. Ranta on hiljainen, siellä on hyvää hiekkaa ja erittäin hyvä uida. Päivisin voit liittyä beachvolley peleihin tai pelata vaikka pentakia rannalla. Spassa on tarjolla rentouttavia palveluita. Henkilökunta on tosi ystävällinen ja tunnelma hotelilla on tosi hyvä. Sijainti ei ole ihanteellinen, mutta taksilla tai vuokraamalla skootterin pääsee helpolla läheiseen keskustaan. Suosittelen isosti pareille jotka haluaa olla rauhassa ja vaan nauttia auringosta.

Plussat: We loved the beautiful big pool that wraps around the whole resort. It's amazing!! We stayed in the ocean villa room with a Jacuzzi overlooking the pool and Andaman Sea. Beautiful and relaxing!!.. All the staff are warm and welcoming and visit in the evening with a little special treat which is a lovely personal touch. There is a great variety of choices for breakfast and the Vongole restaurant serves beautiful meals. You can eat breakfast in the upper restaurant and dinner in the lower ocean (Vongole) restaurant, both of which overlook the Andaman sea. The beach is long and sandy and very clean and only a few short steps away from the resort. We enjoyed a good variety of reasonably priced cocktails as well as wine and beer which are also reasonably priced (not overpriced like most resorts).. Magnificent!! Our Ocean front villa was large and the bed was HUGE and very comfortable. Again, flowers and folded towels on the bed added a very personal touch. It's a very private resort.. so if you want to escape the hustle and bustle and unwind I would thoroughly recommend the Haven.. We loved it!!

Miinukset: The meal sizes were a little small in the restaurant as well as room service... but very delicious!! The check out staff seemed a little disinterested and didn't engage in conversation.. very different to the warm welcome on arrival. Otherwise a great place to relax!!

Plussat: Huoneemme oli erittäin hyvä ja oma allasalue ihana. Aamiainen oli suhteellisen hyvä. Hotellin ranta-alue oli ihanan rauhallinen.

Miinukset: Hotellialueella on erittäin paljon portaita. Nousu lähikylästä hotellille on varsin raskas helteessä.

Plussat: Upea allas-alue ja puutarha. Ranta siisti ja hyvä uimiseen. Kokonaisuus täysi kymppi. Ei lapsia, joten rauhallinen ja seesteinen ilmapiiri aikuiseen makuun.

Miinukset: Ravintolan menu olisi voinut olla laajempi valikoimaltaan.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Road in is not great.

Miinukset: We took the jacuzzi suite which supposed to be the best room of the resort, the problem is that you don’t have any privacy in this room since the entrance is in the front of the room and stuff always walking around in the morning hours, from around 08:30 till 13:00 there’s always stuff around.(after 13:00 it’s pretty quite) Also in front of the room there’s a road which a lot of people and cars are passing by. The room has a great huge window but trough this window everybody can see you no metter what you do unless you go to the bathroom and close the door. There’s almost no power sockets in the room, in case you want to use your phone charger near your bed you need to disconnect the reading lamp from the socket. We got really disappointed from the resort and especially from the jacuzzi suite that we’ve checked out after one night (we’ve paid for 3 nights and preferred to pay extra in other resort, the Haven stuff didn’t even try to make us stay) Maybe the other rooms are great and also in a good price but the jacuzzi suite is just not worth the amount you’ll have to pay.

Plussat: Upea allas alue, rannan läheisyys ja hyvä palvelu

Plussat: Room was wonderful.sat on the balcony bird watching for most of the day !

Miinukset: A few more veggie options for breakfast please

Plussat: Perfect location, beautiful area. Need car/scooter to move around.

Miinukset: Too many ants in the toilet all the time.

Plussat: I found this place absolutely perfect for what we needed. We had a weekend break there between other parts of our tour to "recover". It was very very laid back and stressless. OK the beach is a walk from the cabins, but a pleasant walk with free tuk-tuks if you can't manage it. Very quiet. Lovely clean sea-water pool very quiet only one other couple using it. Lovely grounds with water features, shrubs, flowers, palm trees. Friendly helpful staff. Perfectly happy breakfast. We both really really liked this place and only wish we'd stayed longer. Lovely beach bar, good cocktails, happy hour covered some stunning sunsets.

Miinukset: There was some pile driving going on on and adjacent plot, but we were warned in advance this would be happening, and it was so far away it wasn't too noisy, and finished late afternoon anyway. It may have been this that made the resort so deserted, and that was more than adequate compensation.

Plussat: To make it simple I liked everything about this resort. It offers the peacefully environment to relax and enjoy the best in life in the most simple way. No need to leave as the food is the best as confirmed by guest who live in Phuket and come to the resort for a weekend away. Walking to the beach or the markets was not a issue as the swimming pool was always there to enjoy.

Miinukset: Not one little thing. Yes it was off season and work was happening around me to make the resort ready for the peak season, That is not a issue if you like to get to know the real people.

Plussat: Beautiful bungalows (we were in a Dusita Superior Villa) in a pretty and quiet setting. Very professional and friendly staff, great breakfast buffet. Beach is within walking distance but there is a free shuttle service, or free push bikes if you want. Beach is quiet and private. Pool is good as well.

Plussat: + spacey rooms with beautiful terrace + free shuttle to the beach (although only 5 minutes per foot) + free refilling stations for water bottles + attempt to be very eco friendly + a lot of friendly dogs around + very quiet

Miinukset: - being german-speaking myself, it felt a bit like a german-senior residency ;) - a bit remote and no other beachrestaurants nearby - pool area not very welcoming, but the beach area is very nice

Plussat: Pretty much everything. Free bikes. Beautiful setting - gardens, villa overlooking the minilake. Very deliciously cooked food. Good value for money in the low season. Definitely going back if we're around the area.

Miinukset: Construction area on the way to the beach - though there's not much they can do about that. Villas surround a lake - so plenty of mosquitoes.

Plussat: Nice resort with cozy bungalows. Breakfast was great, but beware of mosquitos.

Plussat: Simplicity and tranquillity at its best! Beautiful private beach. Nice Thai lodges. Good and quiet breakfast.

Miinukset: Difficult to say! My kids claim the pool water was too salty

Plussat: Good atmosphere, spacious rooms The pool very large.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: We really enjoyed our stay at Khao Lak Oriental Resort. The resort is situated in a really Central position close to Beach and main shopping strip. Easy walk too many nice restaurants and easy to get Taxi. Swim up pool is great although quite hot in the middle of the day if you are situated opposite the bar area. Local Beach not very good for swimming. Breakfast was great and had lots of variety to everyone's taste. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti. Aamiainen ok. henkilökunta ystävällinen.

Miinukset: Paikka rapistunut. epäsiisteyttä. Kuntosalilla puolet laitteista ei toiminut ja olivat täysin ruosteessa. Seinät paperia, kaikki äänet kuuluvat.

Plussat: Aamupala oli runsas, plussaa tuoreista hedelmistä! Huoneet olivat siistit, käytössä oli myös rantapyyhkeet. Ranta oli kivenheiton päässä.

Plussat: Great accomodation, breakfast very good! swimming pool was lovely. They did also a very nice honeymoon setup for us because it was our honeymoon! Thank uou for everything!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful...hotel kept very clean and comfortable

Miinukset: Pool access room...the deck was very small and no partition between rooms

Plussat: The quality of the hotel was excellent, the staff were super friendly and very welcoming! They even dresses up for the guests on Halloween even though it isn't celebrated in Thailand.

Miinukset: The shower in our room was broken so we had to use the handheld hose. Not a big problem but a little annoying! Also the cushions attached to the headboard kept falling off, they were attached with sticky foam pads and obviously had lost their stickiness!

Plussat: Very Quite and relax

Plussat: Pool access from room & resort location

Miinukset: I would like more variety for breakfast
