Khao Sok Tree House Resort

The photo that promotes this hotel on trip.com features a lake and raft houses on the lake. This is not the reality for this hotel, although it does provide tours that visit this lake, and so initial expectations were not met. However if you want my review of the actual hotel, here goes. The family run hotel provides a cool place to stay for physically fit guests and people who do not suffer too badly with vertigo. All the rooms are tree houses, reached by narrow walkways through the subforest at different levels. The rooms vary in size and height to suit everyone, from 4m to 15m up in the trees. Central to the complex is a nice outdoor pool. I loved it, but remember in humid tropical locations infrastructure does not last long, so don't get upset if a table collapsed or a handrail comes adrift, there is a guy who fixes everything. Food available all day, home cooked and reasonably priced. The hotel.is only 2km from the park gates so location, location, location. But definitely no lake!

A spacious location, in the green, but also flush with the road, which you can hear. The staff is friendly. bet pool is pleasant and large enough to cool off or just relax. The hotel has four stars. We are not clear what star 3 and 4 are based on. As far as we are concerned, not the interior of the accommodations. The cottage smells of moisture and is moldy. the honeymoon suite has an empty bar and a bathtub. Which is impossible to fill with a weak jet. (Safe such a bathtub on a wooden floor 40 meters above the ground?) The shower idem, a weak jet of water. The breakfast buffet is for 4 stars (?) sparse. wn well what was written before how safe and controlled are the iron structures! In terms of location a great base base for the national park or other outings. but again, 4 stars ? No Maybe 1 or 2 resort.

I must admit that the publicity photos of this place on Trip.com and here we're a mite confusing as it is not on a lake, but if you get past that this is a really nice quirky family run hotel on the edge of the national park. All the rooms are tree houses at varying levels from 4m to 15m up in the canopy of a jungle like area. Room access can be a bit tricky if you are an elderly traveller as the metal steps are quite steep in places, but other than that the rooms are spacious, comfortable and we'll equipped ( for a tree house) - air con, TV, western toilet, en suite shower, refrigerator and coffee making facilities. Some have additional outside seating too, but you must realize that the climate here means anything made of wood doesn't last long, our outside table collapsed due to some very determined ants, but as soon as I reported it they came to fix it. The outdoor pool is small but the perfect place to cool off. The hotel is family run and the staff couldn't be nicer. The food is tasty and fairly priced, and the bar opens till you go to bed. The gates to the park are literally 2km away so it makes a great base for exploring the area. Loved it Thank you
