Hotels near Khao Lak, Takua Pa

From the moment we arrived until the day we checked out, every detail of our stay exceeded our expectations. The resort is absolutely beautiful, our room was stunning, and waking up each morning to watch the sunrise from our private pool was an experience we’ll never forget. It felt like the perfect escape from city life. What really sets this resort apart, however, is the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. A special thank you to Tom Cruise, one of our buggy drivers, who always greeted us with such kindness and made us feel so welcome. We were genuinely disappointed that we didn’t get the chance to say goodbye before we left. I also have a nut allergy, and the level of care the team showed was exceptional. They provided me with an allergy card to present at restaurants, and when they made a reservation for us at the neighbouring resort, they had already informed the restaurant about my allergy. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel safe and well looked after. This is true five-star hospitality. Thoughtful, attentive, and effortless from start to finish. We’ve had nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

This is my third time in Khao Lak, but my first stay at this hotel. Overall, it was excellent! The staff in every department were friendly and cheerful. There are plenty of activities at the hotel, making it perfect for anyone who wants to spend their vacation relaxing without getting bored. The hotel has a large main pool and separate pools for each building. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of choices. There was also a fresh coffee machine that looked quite standard and good quality. The hotel property is quite deep. If you walk from the front of the hotel to the beach, it's a bit of a trek. If you have luggage, you'll have to drag it a fair distance. However, the hotel offers a buggy service to pick you up from your building; you can call for it anytime. But when we checked out, we were in a hurry, so we ended up walking and dragging our bags ourselves because the staff said the buggy would take about 10 minutes to arrive. Another thing is that during checkout, the staff mentioned we had to wait about 7 minutes for housekeeping to check the room (so allow extra time if you're in a rush). If I have the chance, I would definitely stay here again.

Such a beautiful hotel! The rooms are really cozy, and the view is absolutely stunning! From our room, we could see the pool, garden, sea, and even the jungle. The beach is great, and there are several pools to choose from. Breakfast is served outdoors, which isn't super comfortable in the heat, but it's quite varied with lots of fruit. I do wish they'd upgrade the fitness center to be more modern and add more equipment. Other than that, everything was superb. It's conveniently located close to town with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, yet the area itself is very quiet.

We stayed at this hotel during the so-called low season, and everything was wonderful! The room was comfortable and spacious, and a rollaway bed for our child was already set up by default. The hotel staff, both at the parking lot and reception, were incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly. Activities started at the pool during lunch, and every day there were various free and paid entertainment and sports events. Breakfast was excellent, with several different breakfast stations. There was an egg station, hot waffles, delicious coffee, and freshly squeezed juices. The hotel is located on the beachfront; if you walk towards the sea, the first cafe to the left has very reasonable prices, huge portions, delicious dishes, and some staff who speak a little Russian. It rained intermittently during our stay, but it somehow made the atmosphere even more special. We loved everything and would definitely return if we had the chance.

The hotel is a 7-minute walk from the beach. I enjoyed walking to Nang Thong Beach along a dirt road through the abandoned hotel grounds and forest. There you'll see hens and chicks, roosters, cows, and coconut palms. Breakfasts are monotonous. The rooms are large and spacious. There's plenty of seating—two rattan armchairs, two chairs, and a stool—a rarity in Thailand. There's a large TV where you can watch your own movies from a USB drive. There's hot water! I loved everything.

The rooms are spacious, the service is excellent, and the breakfast offers a wide variety of high-quality options. The beach was quiet and mostly deserted, and there weren't many people at the pool since it was the off-season. Even though it was the rainy season, we had sunny weather every day. I would definitely stay here again.

Le Meridien Khaolak Being a Marriott chain hotel, it accepts Bonvoy, and I was impressed with every service. The front desk staff provided excellent recommendations for the hotel's facilities and activities. I participated in the morning bicycling tour to the Moken village, which had a lovely atmosphere despite some rain. The room was beautifully decorated with complete amenities. The bathroom was spacious and airy, with clear separate zones and a bathtub. Breakfast could get crowded and chaotic if you went after 8:00 AM. The food taste was average, but the staff provided excellent service, even mixing drinks for guests. The facilities are comprehensive. From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, there's a happy hour for cocktails by the sea, and the bakery offers a 50% discount. Overall, I was very impressed. As a Bonvoy member, I also received a late checkout. I will definitely return again if I have the opportunity.

I was very impressed with my stay at Pullman Khao Lak Resort. There's no need to leave; there are plenty of activities to do. The hotel has a great, peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The resort itself is beautiful and right by the beach, with a large swimming pool. The overall ambiance is lush and private. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable! The staff were lovely and provided excellent service, always smiling and ready to help. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. It's suitable for both couples and families looking for a chill vacation in Khao Lak. I'll definitely come back again if I have the chance.

The hotel's location is interesting. We had a sea view room (though the lawn in front of the sea, which belongs to the hotel, was a bit unkempt). The room itself was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious, and the balcony was great too. The pool is open until 10 PM, and there's a water cooler in the common hallway, so no issues with water. Breakfasts were tasty, and the staff were polite and pleasant. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Regarding the negatives: upon check-in, we found a huge cockroach on the curtain. How it could have been missed when preparing the room is a mystery. We didn't make a fuss; we just caught the cockroach ourselves and released it onto the lawn (there were two in total), oh well, these things happen. The biggest drawback, which overshadowed all the positives, was the non-functional air conditioning system. It's a central system, and it seems like maintenance has been completely neglected. When we contacted reception, an engineer came up and showed us how to adjust it (only two modes: 22°C and 21°C; other temperature settings didn't work). The room was 29°C. The AC blew slightly but didn't cool. Because of this, we canceled our extended booking and moved to a proper hotel with a working air conditioner. And where the AC unit draws air, there was a thick layer of dust... The hotel itself is great, but the air conditioning, or rather its lack of proper function, ruined everything.

Khaolak Wanaburee Resort is an ideal place for those who appreciate nature, comfort, and tranquility. Pros: The hotel boasts a large, well-maintained area with a beautiful landscape design. It has everything: direct beach access, a picturesque stream, and even a lake. The rooms are very clean, modern, and truly meet the standards of a 5-star hotel. Daily housekeeping ensures impeccable cleanliness. The charming bridges connecting different parts of the property add a special touch. Walking across them feels like being in untouched jungles. The beach is well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there’s a cozy beachside café nearby where you can have lunch or dinner while enjoying the sea view. The resort’s territory is full of life: you’ll see many butterflies and even friendly monitor lizards wandering around, adding to the tropical paradise vibe. Cons: Breakfasts could be more varied, especially in terms of fresh pastries. Good to know: The nearest 7/11 or town café is about a 15-minute walk away (there’s a sidewalk). If you prefer not to walk, a taxi costs 100 baht. The closest self-service laundry is a 15-minute drive away (400 baht). Overall, Khaolak Wanaburee Resort is a perfect choice for those looking to relax in harmony with nature while enjoying comfort and quality service. Highly recommended!
