Hotel Dengan Spa di Phang Nga, Thailand

We arrived at the HotSpring Beach Resort at the end of June '23, just a week after a new General Manager had started his new role - something we found out because he was actively meeting and greeting guests and will obviously be a great asset to the resort. He is overseeing a huge number of renovations and upgrades due for completion by the end of 2023 - and so any older reviews that speak of the resort needing some attention will now likely be redundant as the place is undergoing a major - and impressive - facelift. We were thrilled by our spacious room, the fantastic hot spring pools and the excellent contrast of the icy 'chill' pool (a rarity in Thailand, where refreshingly cold water to dip in is not so common). The staff were friendly and courteous throughout, and the grounds all the way to the beach are quite wonderful. Of course, in any transformation there is always something that still needs tweaking. Our two recommendations to the resort would be to enhance the taste and the number of vegetarian options of breakfast, which was generally a little on the bland side (though we ate two a la carte dinners at the resort restaurant which were outsanding and quite delicious). The other recommendation is to keep the beach free of the relentless flow of plastic and other garbage which the sea washes up. Although this is so common everywhere, and certainly not the fault of the resort, the beach gets a daily deposit of bottles and other plastics, and it would be great to see some efforts being made to collect and tidy the beach area as it's not huge, and this would certainly be an hour well-spent. Overall, highly recommended for a stay here - it's a unique place with such relaxing waters and the sense you're in the middle of a tropical forest with secret thermal springs just waiting to be discovered. If you're there in low season of June/Jule like us, then you won't see too many other people around and you can enjoy a lot of peace and quiet. Definitely worth a visit!

I stayed for just one night as I was on my way to Khao Lak and had limited time. My first impression was that the staff were incredibly friendly, from the reception team to the buggy driver. We arrived before the check-in time and planned to wait around, but the staff went out of their way to check us in early. Our room had a stunning sea view, with a porch where we could sit and enjoy the weather and scenery. The bed was comfortable, and the food was decent. I would definitely recommend staying here!

L'hôtel est un grand complexe destiné à une clientèle (chinoise) nombreuse. Il est très bien situé avec un accès direct à la plage et à proximité de petits restaurants. Les chambres sont agréables, propres et bien entretrenues. La clientèle chinoise n'étant pas encore revenue depuis le Covid, les prestations sont plutôt moyennes par manque de personnel néanmoins très sympathique et serviable. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner est très moyen et il n'y a pas de possibilité de repas midi ou soir bien que la salle de restauration soit immense. Ko Yao Yai étant réputée pour être plus sauvage que le reste des îles de la région, il n'est pas étonnant que le redécollage touristique soit tardif et la vie semble ”au ralenti”.

Nous avons séjourné pour la 2ème fois dans ce resort qui est un véritable paradis pour les enfants. Nous avions nos 2 pts enfants (8 et 10 ans) avec nous et à leur arrivée dans la chambre ils ont trouvé celle-ci très ”classe” (il y avait un toboggan pour descendre du lit superposé en haut). C'est un resort tout à fait adapté pour les familles avec des enfants, beaucoup de jeux aquatiques, des piscines leur sont réservées. Nous avions une gde chambre pour nous 4 avec une cloison coulissante pour avoir un peu d'intimité. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est très varié et chacun trouve de quoi se régaler aussi bien en nourriture asiatique qu'internationale. Le personnel est adorable et très serviable. L'hôtel est très bien situé, à 10 mn à pied de la rue très commerçante avec beaucoup de restaurants. Nous avions réservé une navette privée pour les transferts depuis et vers l'aéroport de Phuket, tout s'est très bien passé. A la fin de la semaine, nos petits enfants nous ont demandé pourquoi nous ne restions pas une 2ème semaine, c'est dire s'ils ont aimé. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir une 3ème fois .

กลับมาพักอีกรอบ เป็นที่พักราคาดี ห้องสะอาด ทำเลดี หาของกินง่าย หน้าปากซอยเดินมานิดนึงเจอ 7-11 คราวนี้ได้ห้องด้านล่างชั้น 1 ใกล้กับถนน ห้องไม่ค่อยเก็บเสียง แถมเจอข้างห้องเสียงดัง ฝนตกตลอดคืนมากน้อยสลับกันไป มีเสียงน้ำแอร์หยดในห้องน้ำ คนที่นอนหลับยากอาจจะไม่ถูกใจ แต่ถ้าเทียบกับความสะอาด ราคา และทำเลแล้ว ก็ยังเป็นตัวเลือกที่ดี

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the excellent service provided by the staff, from our arrival to the restaurant team. We visited during the Loy Krathong event, and the resort offered a special dinner buffet at just THB 399 per person, inclusive of a complimentary Krathong for each guest. The food was delicious, although the protein options were limited to chicken. We also appreciated other special offerings, such as the resort tour and daily happy hour. The bellmen provided outstanding service, promptly picking us up from our villa and taking us wherever we wanted around the resort. Additionally, the Front Office team drove us around this expansive property, sharing the resort’s historical background during the ride. Don’t miss the chance to visit the in-resort waterfall and the small temple, perfect for those looking to enjoy a quick meditation session during their stay.

Stayed here from 4th - 11th April recently for a family wedding which took place just up the coast on Natai beach at a villa. We stayed in a beach bungalow which was in the surrounding area to the main hotel complex. My understanding is the hotel have acquired these villas which were part of another complex and recently joined them to the hotel. The outside area was beautiful with gorgeous flowers and plants and cute paths leading straight to the beach. The room was very spacious with great air con and facilities were good - although we did not have a balcony we had sun chairs brought to our room so we could sit outside. Room was cleaned well and fresh towels, tea, coffee and water etc every day. Only downside was the bed which was uncomfortably hard although enormous! Missing in the main room was a mirror but this was fixed when we asked for one - a full length mirror was brought to our room which was a necessity to enable me to style my hair. The hotel pool which backs onto the stunning beach was a gorgeous spot to sit with a lovely breeze from the sea and looked so pretty as sunset drew in with beautiful tree lights. There is one main restaurant where breakfast is served which backs right onto the beach. It was uncomfortably hot inside - could do with fans to make the dining experience more comfortable. As the surrounding area is extremely quiet you need to taxi out to local restaurants, the hotel restaurant menu was quite limited although most of the meals we ate both during lunch and dinner were lovely although a bit repetitive. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold food and we enjoyed this very much. There are kayaks, surfboards you can hire from the beach hit by the beach and table tennis/boules also. Pool/beach towels are readily available from here too. In all, a lovely hotel in a stunning location on the most beautiful beach. A great get away from it all hotel for the perfect beach retreat holiday. Would definitely return to this hotel if I was in this area again.

ohhhhh...... what a place , what a resort , i am over whelmed with the experience.......... the serene , quite , blissful....... & A must visit place ........ me & family were travelling from phuket to koh samui..... & wanted a night hault in between , so we decided to take this place into consideration & were over whelmed with this property......... we decided to have a 2 bedroom villa with private swimming pool....... everything is just wonderful......... the food is just mouth watering........ as we all 4 family members were vegan , they arranged everything according to our needs............ & the taste was wonderful.......... we were too lucky as it was raining when we checked inn........ the atmosphere was just too romantic ............. the services at this resort is just wonderful...... i will strongly recommend everybody to stay at this place & rediscover yourself & your love with your beloved partner............. thank you bor saen villa for loving us.................

There is absolutely nothing negative I could say about this gorgeous place. I left today after a weeks stay, and honestly I’m devastated I couldn’t stay longer haha. It is absolutely heaven on earth. I had a gorgeous villa with a pool. The room was so pretty and was in excellent condition. The restaurants were both excellent with a large range of food. The staff were all so kind and friendly. They were always very willing to help in any way they could. Thank you so much for my stay, I know that I will definitely have to come back again next summer!

Ich hatte mit einem guten Freund einen Aufenthalt von vier Nächten. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig mit einem Balkon zur Straße. Da 200m vom Hotel ein Markt mit einer großen Bühne war der von 17pm-23pm ging, war es abends ein wenig lauter( man hatt den Bass leicht gehört). Die Straße hatt man mit geschlossenen Türen garnicht gehört(Klimaanlage hat gut funktioniert). Das Badezimmer war mit einer halboffenen Dusche Shampoo ausgestattet. Mann hat jeden Tag Wasser und frische Handtücher bekommen. Das Hotel hatt im Hinterhof auch einen kleinen Pool der bis 8pm geöffnet ist und absolut ausreichend ist. Die Rezeption war auch 24 Stunden offen. Um Ausflüge zu machen empfehle ich 50m weiter einen Roller zu leihen der 200 Bhat pro Tag gekostet hat, damit kommen sie überall ganz leicht hin. Ich kann dieses Hotel wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Ich komme wieder

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!

Stay in this beautiful resort only if you’re ready to be spoilt by the amazing hospitality of their staff. It’s located in the middle of nowhere, but that doesn’t matter as the resort itself has everything you’ll need. We took the all in package. Rooms are luxurious, very clean, very well kept. The resort itself is very well kept, pool, beach, bar, playroom. Very family friendly. Stayed here twice, both during peak (March) and low peak(June), both occasions felt very different, i personally preferred the peak, however one thing that did not change was the hospitality of their amazing staff! A special shout out to Kwan for professionally handling the tantrum of a hungry 35yr old (me). Great selection of food in their restaurants too. And when you need a laugh, Sit@Aon will crack you up. Will always come back.

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.

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. Check out my trip report on forums or other reviews.

Все понравилось. Соотношение цена/качество считаю отличным. Кондей в хорошем состоянии, убранство приятное, вид отличный. В кафе был очень вкусный Падтай. В целом меню у когото может вызвать вопросы, но мне было вкусно.

房間乾淨整潔，有設計感，停車位有點緊張，有一天停到右邊店鋪門口了，早上人家營業趕緊離開他們很友好客氣。出門右轉有一家7-11，周邊食品很多小吃，推薦右邊路口的一家比較大的，味道很好。

Our recent stay at Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa left much to be desired, and unfortunately, our experience was marred by several glaring issues. The room conditions were far from the expected standards of a five-star resort. Outdated decor, worn-out furnishings, and signs of neglect were evident. The lack of maintenance was disappointing, with visible issues like chipped paint and malfunctioning items. The hotel exhibits a clear lack of maintenance and overdue renovations both in the rooms and common spaces. The restaurant's disorganization was a major drawback. Waiting times for tables were excessively long, and even when seated, the service was far from smooth. Dirty tables, missing glasses, napkins, and other essentials were recurrent issues, painting a picture of a poorly managed dining environment. This, coupled with the high prices for subpar quality, left a sour taste. For a purported five-star establishment, the lack of employee training and coordination was glaringly evident. Throughout the stay, service was consistently mediocre, lacking the professionalism one would expect. It is disappointing that the positive efforts of Assistant Manager Noo and employee Ham were overshadowed by the systemic issues plaguing the hotel's overall operation. One of the most concerning aspects of my stay was the consistently unclean restaurant area. Over the course of five days, there was no evidence of proper cleaning of the restaurant area, creating an unhygienic atmosphere that is simply unacceptable in a hotel setting. In conclusion, Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa fell short of expectations, with numerous issues ranging from maintenance and service quality to hygiene standards. Despite the commendable efforts of a few staff members, the overall experience was marred by systemic problems. Regrettably, we cannot recommend this hotel and would not consider returning in the future.

We stayed at the 2 bedroom pool villa for 3 nights. The room was extremely spacious along with comfortable beds and cool air-conditioning amidst the hottest times of Thailand. The pool in the room is relatively big for most pool villas with comfortable sofas and ceiling fans to lounge around. Don't be fooled by the limited breakfast selection, there is a lot you can order from the menu which is a great idea as the food is prepared fresh to order. Selection variety was wide enough to try a bit of everything through 3 days. One morning we had an early tee-off time and the staff was happy to prepare a breakfast box for us.

Chouette hôtel près de la route, mais très calme. Belle entrée typique thailandaise. Des chambres pour tous budgets. Les plus chères au bord de la grande piscine. Accueil des plus sympa. Chambre vaste et complète. Belle salle de bain. Un chouette endroit

Totally and utterly amazing…..one of our favourite stays anywhere in the world. 2 night wedding anniversary surprise for my husband and they decorated the bed with stuff from the garden and made it look beautiful. The pool villas are huge and stunning, so peaceful and private, we barely moved from there as it was just so incredible. The main pool area and beach was beautiful too, and sitting at the restaurant overlooking the pool and beach at sunset was perfect. All the staff are so so lovely and sweet. The gym was great and had all i needed, running and cycling in the area is fantastic. Will stay here again for sure. Best decision ever to come here

I cannot praise this hotel enough. The staff were so friendly, attentive and just couldn't do enough for you. We stayed in villa 17 and it was stunning, set over 2 levels the upstairs was bedroom, seating area, very good sized bathroom with stunning views across the bay throughout, out on to a balcony with seats and a jacuzzi bath big enough for 2. Downstairs was a cuddle chair under a canopy and a plunge pool. It was just breathtaking and the things dreams are made of. The food and cocktails were beautifully presented and very very tasty plus good value. A incredible place to watch the sun rise. The hotel also organise trips using peopl from the local community which is a lovely touch. Highly recommended

團了攜程套餐，雨季住了4晚，幾乎是包酒店。客人非常少。體驗很棒。3-4晚差不多了，多了會無聊了。 交通4分：略有不便，畢竟在離島，一天衹有4班船次，幸好我們和航班銜接上了，如果航班晚點可能要等很久了 環境設施5分：22年新開，基礎房90平，中體量，酒店走一圈也不是很遠。海水不算很藍，屬於灘塗型，有當地特色幽靈蟹，浪很小，可以去踩水，根據漲退潮情況，沙灘有不同形態，這個有點意思。 周邊3分：周邊吃飯，除了1.3公裡外CHILL CHILL餐廳，可以電話給老闆娘免費接送，要去其他地方的話需要租摩託車了。要不就在酒店吃，淡季自助餐廳部開放，the beach restrant味道很好，就是價格略貴，最好是有餐飲折扣。 服務5分：真的很熱情，見到你都會發自內心的打招呼，我們英語一般，他們不厭其煩的和你溝通，在交涉早餐問題時，經理給直接免了4歲小朋友4晚的早餐，很驚喜。 活動設施4分：活動不多,kids club 18點就關門，晚上幾乎沒有活動，這個希望改善。 最後表揚下攜程，由於套餐的餐飲內容和酒店的不一致，溝通後給了房費9折優惠，處理結果滿意。

Tempat yang bagus untuk $65 setiap malam. Untuk wang sebanyak itu kami menghabiskan 5 hari di sini. Akan membelanjakan 5 lagi. Hotel ini terletak betul-betul di pantai. Pantai hanya pasir, tiada batu. Pada waktu petang, pantai penuh dengan ketam - pergi ke kiri sejauh 200 meter. Kolam renang yang besar. Bilik yang sangat baik. Terdapat gimnasium kecil. Berdekatan dengan kedai-kedai kecil dan restoran tempatan. Sangat menyukainya

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Villa butler was excellent and really worked hard to fulfil our requests. Food was fantastic at every hotel outlet. However, we did experience some villa food service issues which we did not quite understand the logic behind the menu which we ordered to the villa. Room were nice and bedding were very comfortable with choices of pillow fillings

According to Google the Thiwson Beach Resort is a 4 star resort, by definition this means it needs to offer a deluxe guest experience with a wide range of facilities, superior design qualities and excellent service. Based on this definition I felt it fell short of the mark and is a 3 star hotel at best, having said that, I absolutely loved it hence the high rating. At the time of writing #kohyaoyai only has a handful of resorts and guesthouses to choose from, i researched them carefully, my essentials being air conditioning & swimming pool in the mid range price bracket, my wish list being a characterful locally owned property on a beach. With the @thiwsonbeach I struck gold. This unpolished gem offered everything on my wish list plus more. Owned by a local family, three generations of whom regularly join the guests for dinner in the open air restaurant which serves very tasty reasonable priced Thai food and great chicken nuggets to the delight of my toddler (albeit they were out of fries for the duration of our stay!). Beside this are the beachfront huts are in prime position with their own outdoor jacuzzi, it’s no wonder they book up so far in advance. There are facilities on site to hire scooters or book tours to explore the island and two lovely pool areas. I was initially disappointed with the hilltop location of our own bungalow which are actually across the road from the others, but the quiet semi private pool area in front of our large veranda anf the sunrise view through the frangipani trees buckled my reservations. Our family suite was made up of 2 interconnecting rooms, including an extra bed charge charge & 3% credit card levy cost us €150 per night. The resort isn’t perfect, there are holes in the concrete (my little girl took a nasty fall in one) & bugs in the rooms (to the delight of my 9 year old boy), there is no room service and while there is sand the sea is separated from the resort with a concrete flood barrier & is extremely tidal so not ideal for swimming but for me character trumps perfection every time so I would return again in a heartbeat💖

If you want the most delicious food in Thailand - this is the place!! We had beef massaman curry and chicken with cashew nuts and both were exceptional - best meals in 3 weeks of travelling Thailand! Home cooked authentic food with fresh ingredients ! Would eat here everyday if possible - don’t miss it if on Kia Yao noi

My partner and I stayed at Koh Yao Yao Village for 3 nights during our travels around Thailand. The hotel is set within lush tropical grounds and has been designed to connect with nature. Whilst the hotel is quite remote, we hired a moped from a place at the end of the hotel drive for 250thb/day which made the island easily accessible. We stayed in a Deluxe Villa which was huge and we couldn’t quite believe this was the lowest standard accommodation on offer. The villa has a spacious outdoor area with loungers, a day bed, and chair, all of which were great for chilling out during the evening. Other aspects we loved about the room was being able to listen to nature whilst using the outdoor shower. The main pool is large and well designed, offering outstanding views across Thale Ko Yao towards Krabi. There is a swim up bar which offers a selection of drinks/cocktails however the service here was on the slower side. Breakfast was generally good, offering a wide variety of both local and international options. We also ate in the main restaurant for dinner on two nights where we found the food to be ok. A few reasons why I’ve rated this hotel 4/5: 1 - whilst I think the design of the hotel is timeless, some areas are starting to show their age e.g. AC not working on one night (took 3 calls to reception to resolve), bathroom sink plug not working. 2 - The music around the main pool/restaurant started to frustrate us after a day, I feel for people staying here for any longer. It appears the playlist/CD has about 8 songs and these repeat all day and evening. 3 - all food and drinks are subject to a mandatory service charge so the price you see on the menu isn’t the price you pay. I wouldn’t have an issue with this in a restaurant setting or if the service was outstanding however it wasn’t. On top of this, you are then also asked if you’d like to leave a tip (on top of service charge) when you settle each bill.

Great hotel Perfect stay Great food Great service Very beautiful island

I recently stayed at Niramaya Villa & Wellness, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, always ready to assist with booking boat trips and providing useful information about the island. The room we stayed in was huge, offering plenty of space for families with kids, which made our stay comfortable. One of the highlights was the private pool in our villa, complete with an outdoor shower—such a luxury! Despite the premium feel of the villa, the price was very reasonable. This combination of luxury and affordability makes me want to return again in the future.
