Hotel berhampiran Takua Pa Park Prehistoric Takola, Daerah Takua Pa

Beautiful resort with friendly staff. Mid-size ground so I could watch my kids going between the pool and beach. Room is basic without a bath tub but spacious even with extra bed, well maintained and clean. Ground floor we stayed was very convenient and balcony space is generous.

We travelled with 3 families (6 adults and 4 kids 8-12) and stayed for 2 weeks. This was our second visit to Mai Khao Lak and we were equally as happy. Stayed in the top section (pool access jacuzzi suite). Modern, clean room with a separate living room, which doubles as a kid's room. Walk off the balcony into private spa area which joins massive swimming pool. There are no shortage of wet options with 5 pools from the beachfront area to the peaceful adults only pool area at the top of the resort. Loads of choices for bars and food. The new Thai restaurant by the beach is very comfortable with great food. At the kids pool area there is another kitchen and bar with great lunch options. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There is an hourly free shuttle bus from reception to town which is convenient, otherwise walk to the beachfront and you can get a tuk tuk (if you order through reception it will cost more!). Breakfast buffet is easy to navigate, with a huge selection of coffee / tea, fresh fruits / yoghurts, cooked food, cereal, pastries, cakes and sweets, loads of bread choices and cold cuts & cheeses. This was a big highlight for the kids and great way for us to all gather and catch up to start the day together. The beach and ocean are very nice, and the many options of beachfront bars, restaurants, laundry services and massage places are all within a 1-5 minute walk from the resort. We visited most of these during our stay and never had a bad experience. Kids club is awesome with plenty of fun and varied activities to engage the kids. If I had to fault something - the internet inside our room was poor, but in most other areas of the resort it was fine. So the 2 big questions... would we go back (a third time)? YES! and would we recommend it to friends? YES! Thanks to everyone at Mai Khao Lak for another memorable experience! See you next time!

Großes Hotel am wunderschönen Strand. Es gibt einige Strandrestaurants außen herum, was sehr praktisch für einen Mittagssnack oder Abendessen ist. Um das Hotel herum ist leider sonst gar nichts, der nächste Supermarkt ist 3 km entfernt. Die Preise im Hotel sind dementsprechend höher, wobei es einen kleinen Einkaufsmarkt für Wasser und Knabbersachen gibt. Wir hatten eine Villa gebucht. Leider war alles insgesamt sehr abgewohnt (zb Flecken an den Wänden, Staub und Sand unter Sofa, fleckiger Teppich, im Bad überall Kalk). Auch die liegen am Strand und am Pool sollten dringend ausgetauscht werden. Wir waren vor 7 Jahren schon mal im Kantary und da wurde wesentlich mehr Wert auf Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit gelegt. Jetzt hatte man das Gefühl von Massenabfertigung… Wir werden nicht mehr wiederkommen.

We upgraded from 2 suites from a package TUI booking pool villa 838 costing about 42K THB for 14 nights in November and December 2022. 2 adults, and 2 kids age 17 and 10 so the privacy of a private pool was one of our highlights of the holiday. This is such a peaceful resort with beautiful surroundings and very helpful staff. Notably Emme, Gift, Mark, Tee, Big, Yuda, Tar, Pecky and Winai. This resort is not within walking distance of town / Biang Nang market area, and a taxi to go there will set you back 300 THB each way from the guys on the beach outside the gate. That's the going rate both ways so don't be conned by a chancer. In the resort there's 2 restaurants, one's a buffet and the Napalai on the villa side of the river and you can eat from both if you upgrade. There are 2 swimming pools, several bars and organised trips to temples, islands, local markets, animal sanctuaries offered from the front desk or holiday rep so you aren't cut off from civilisation by being in such a remote area surrounded by beach and jungle, which is actually a plus point if you're a surfer, nature or beach lover because this resort scores a 10 if that's what interests you. We didn't travel to Thailand for the nightlife, just to chill in some winter sun. There's ample entertainment just 10 minutes away from the resort, in town or Memories bar, but if you want boom, boom, boom and all night drinking go to Phuket instead. I'd definitely return, but not with children.

We spent 10 nights at JW Marriott Khao Lak for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect for our needs! An utterly beautiful hotel with clean rooms and facilities and the kindest, most helpful staff I've ever come across in a hotel. Our room was spacious and beautiful, with direct access to the 2.4km pool - this was a great feature and it felt like we had a bit of private pool whilst being able to swim all the way to the main pool. The pool also adds to the feeling that you're in a village community rather than a commercial hotel, as we made friends with our ”neighbours” and would see them from time to time when we were out swimming. The hotel's beach is clean and stunning, the sun beds are thickly padded and comfortable, and we made use of the bodyboarding and kayaking equipment on our stay. The restaurants at the hotel were incredible! The main ones are Ta-Krai (Thai), Sakura (Japanese), and Olive (Italian). Before arriving I was a bit sceptical at how authentic the restaurants would be but the hotel has ensured they've brought in the best chefs who could bring authentic cuisine to Khao Lak. The sushi at Sakura was probably the freshest and tastiest I've ever had (albeit, I've not been to Japan yet, but it's still better than all the London sushi places where we live and even better than Nobu). We loved Olive restaurant too, in particular their Sunset BBQ evening where you're spoilt for choice on meats, seafood, sides, salads, and a full-on Italian cheese and ham bar with really delicious, authentic selections. Chef Enzo there was dishing out cheeses to us and making recommendations what to pair each cheese with and was so helpful (and the cheeses were incredible). We opted for the Breakfast and Dinner package and we're really glad we did as we loved going back to those restaurants over the 10 days. For lunch we'd eat at the hotel cafes, or out at excursions, or at local restaurants adjacent to the hotel, such as Phen's (delicious!). We also bought a spa package at Quan Spa in the hotel and booked in lots of treatments throughout our stay. The spa is beautiful and the massage therapists were excellent; it's a bit pricier than outside the hotel but the spa environment is worth it for that luxe feeling (and still cheaper than in the UK!). Overall, I don't think we found and faults with our stay at JWM and we will definitely come back in the future, perhaps for our anniversaries! And we would highly recommend it to all our family and friends!

Review of Hotel Stay at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak and overall, it was a delightful experience. Here are the pros and cons of my stay: Pros: 1) Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is located in a prime spot, just a short distance away from the main tourist area. This allows for a peaceful and tranquil stay while still being conveniently close to all the attractions. 2) The hotel itself is a beautiful boutique establishment, with a charming ambiance. From the moment you step into the entrance lobby, you are greeted with antique decorations that add a touch of elegance to the surroundings. 3) One of the highlights of this hotel is the Michelin 2022 and 2023 chef who prepares authentic Nonya cuisines. This is a culinary experience not to be missed, and the restaurant is sure to leave your taste buds satisfied. 4) The hotel is surrounded by many amenities and local food options within walking distance. This makes it convenient for guests to explore and indulge in the local flavors. 5) The breakfast at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is simple yet delicious. It offers a variety of options to suit different preferences, and it's a great way to start your day on a positive note. 6) On a hot day, the hotel's refreshing little pool is a fantastic spot to take a dip and cool off. It provides a relaxing oasis where you can unwind and enjoy the tropical surroundings. 7) The owner and staff of the hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay and are always ready to assist with any queries or requests. Cons: 1) One issue I encountered during my stay was the presence of lizards and flying pests, especially in rooms with balconies. While this may be a common occurrence in tropical settings, it can be unsettling for some guests. 2) The housekeeping service could use some improvement, particularly in terms of towel change and cleaning of used cups. It would be beneficial if these aspects were given more attention to enhance the overall cleanliness of the rooms. Rating: 8.5/10 In conclusion, Hotel Gahn Khao Lak offers a memorable stay with its good location, beautiful ambiance, authentic cuisine, and friendly staff. While there are a few areas that could be improved upon, the overall experience is highly enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and charming getaway in Khao Lak.

Was so impressed with this hotel 5 years ago that we returned again in October 2023 and they gave us the same room we occupied before. This was a water pool access room which is a must if you stay here. The rooms are large with a massive bed and has all the facilities you could wish for. Although we did no eat our main meals in the Italian restaurant we had breakfast which covers all variety of foods and freshly cooked eggs and bacon on request. All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. A particular mention to Tounchai the barman who served us daily at the pool bar during Happy hour with delicious cocktails. Also to the maid (sorry can't remember her name) who cleaned our room 1123 and left wonderful creations on our bed. The hotel is situated within 5 minutes walk from the beach and close to many bars and restaurants. Bang Niang Market which is 2 mins walk is open every Mon, Weds, Thur and Sat which does street food and has many stalls. The Waters is highly recommended.

This hotel was the best we had ever stayed in. The rooms are spacious with all top quality furnishings, bright & clean. Breakfast, there is everything you could possibly want to eat, the bread is freshly cooked, superb omelettes, salads,meat,sushi the list goes on. Staff extremely nice & so helpful, always smiling & greeting you with Sawadee khrap 🙏, we found this also outside the hotel, never met such kind people. The pools are spotless & plenty to choose from, beach lovely with plenty of sun bed’s & shade. Happy hour 3 times a day, amazing cocktails Mia Tia was my favourite 🍹 The town is only a short stroll, there are plenty of shop’s, restaurants , beauty/ massage & Taylor’s. I had a dress made at Milanio, 2nd taylor as you walk from the hotel. It is beautifully made & the fit is perfect, I’d highly recommend a visit. Taxis can be booked at the hotel but we walked up the street & got in an open truck & went to White Sands Beach, well worth a trip. It is much cheaper to book your trips outside the hotel & there is a massive choice of places to visit. We did James Bond a brilliant day out. All in all the hotel is outstanding, lovely people, perfect setting & we can’t wait to return.

• ทำเลที่ตั้งดี บรรยากาศโรงแรมดีมีความคลาสสิค ทำเลดีมากติดหน้าหาด สระว่ายน้ำดีมากถ่ายรูปสวย ส่วนกลางตกแต่งได้สวยงาม • ในส่วนของห้องพัก อุปกรณ์เครื่องใช้ไม่ครบถ้วนยังขาดแปรงสีฟัน ยาสีฟัน และปริมาณแชมพูครีมอาบน้ำไม่เพียงพอสำหรับผู้เข้าพัก 2 ท่าน ทางนี้พัก 2 คืนแต่ไม่มีการเติมให้ แม่บ้านทำความสะอาดเตียงไม่ดีพอยังมีเศษทรายอยู่บ้าง ห้องสวยงามสมราคา แต่ห้องไม่เก็บเสียงเท่าที่ควร ห้องน้ำน้ำแรงดี น้ำอุ่นเย็นควบคุมง่ายและเร็ว แอร์ทำงานเสียงดังแต่ความเย็นดีฉ่ำทั่วห้อง • ในส่วนอาหารเช้าจัดอยู่ในมาตรฐานที่ดีไลน์อาหารครบถ้วน • การบริการของพนักงานดีให้ความช่วยเหลือได้อย่างรวดเร็ว • โดยรวมถือว่าเป็นโรงแรมที่ดี แต่หากเทียบกับราคาที่จ่ายคิดว่าน่าจะต้องดีกว่านี้ (ช่วง High Season จึงมีราคาที่สูง)

Ocean Leaf Great hotel, friendly staff, nice room, clean pool and good breakfast. 2 mins walk from a lovely clean Sandy beach. We stayed here for four nights to unwind before our backpacking adventure across Thailand. Do not try and eat within two hundred meters of the hotel if you want a nice and affordable meal, walk up to the main drag. Go Pong is a good choice, but there are lots of others.
