Khaolak Oriental Resort - Adult Only

Absolutely gorgeous place. Excellent location, staff and service. Pool-access rooms were fabulous. Nice and quiet despite being so close to the centre.

We went in low season so there was a little bit of maintenance work being carried out. It wasn’t too noisy but did start quite early. No big deal really, it was quieter than some of our neighbours 🤣

The hotel was close to the beach, just across the road and you were already on a wonderful sandy beach. The hotel was in a large area and the swimming pools were large and there were two areas. The staff was really friendly, smiling and service-minded. The rooms were large (Oriental wing) and the room with direct access to the swimming pool was particularly nice. The rooms were cleaned every day and clean sheets and towels were provided whenever needed. The breakfast was particularly good and varied.

The only negative thing comes from the poor condition of the gym equipment.

Love the surrounding plants and garden that gives this place a very tranquil, relaxing vibe. We love the authentic Thai feel to the buildings and decor. Very friendly, compassionate staff members. The breakfasts were excellent with a lot of variety. We loved “Chef Egg” and Mr. Chay the head manager whom went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and happy. The bistro meals for dinner were very good. Rooms kept extremely clean, comfortable bed and good shower/bathroom. The location is ideal to walk into the Main Street of Khaolak to shops, cafes, restaurants. Walking distance to beach and beach cafes.

No complaints!

Initially I was happy with the hotel. I had a room with the pool balcony which was great, I was happy with my room (for most of my trip), and the staff were helpful and friendly.

The hotel is run down and needs a bit of TLC I also didn’t like when (after a few days of rain) I awoke on my last day to find water streaming down the walls, pouring from the air conditioning unit and dripping from light fixtures. I was on the ground floor (in 3313)so the rooms above me must have been inundated too and the room next to me also suffered from same thing. Unfortunately the incident wasn’t handled well by staff and I had to quickly pack and vacate the room without being able to take a shower or being able to brush my teeth. After that I had no room to go to and a four hour wait until my airport transfer arrived. It was an unfortunate and disappointing end to my holiday.
