X10 Khaolak Resort

We recently stayed at Fanari Seafront at the beginning of January 2018. The breakfast buffet was lovely and the staff were very friendly. We didn't realize that there were 2 Fanari resorts (just down the road from each other), and we showed up to the wrong one in our taxi. The staff didn't blink an eye and they drove us the 300m to the other resort themselves. We also got fresh towels everyday, which was great as it took a long time for them to dry out when it was a bit humid and rainy.

Room met all basic needs, but don’t come here if you’re looking for a luxury resort. Room lights are a little dark. Note that there is no beach per se, just a sandy part of the villa linked to a staircase leading down directly into the sea.

The hotel is located on a quiet street but there were ample restaurants all within a 5 min walk. A 10 min walk takes you to the night market. You can swim in front of the hotel but we walked just 5 mins up the road and rented chairs and an umbrella. We like a long beach that is good for walking and this was perfect. You can walk for miles. We also felt very safe here. Breakfast was excellent as was the pool area and WIFI. There was not a lot of water pressure but it was sufficient. We do highly recommend this hotel.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The place itself is worn out, in need of major lift up. In general we are not picky, but this place is quite plane. I would give 2 stars at best.
