La Flora Khao Lak

Enjoyed an excellent seven nights at La Flora. Located directly on the beach - convenient for many bars, restaurants and shops. All facilities good and not overcrowded. Recommend a swim up room - worth the extra. Special thanks to both Vanny and Suzy

Brilliant location Very friendly staff Situated near the main streets for a large choice of lovely restaurants- breakfast at the hotel was lovely. Gorgeous quality with plenty of choice Rooms are spotless with great amenities Despite been a hotel for families, this is a very relaxing hotel.

My husband and I have just spent 10 nights at this hotel. Positives..the hotel is on a beautiful beach. The deluxe side sea view room was very spacious and the shower was one of the best I have seen. The restaurant here is facing the beach and some tables are on the beach. Beautiful views out to sea. The breakfast was excellent all self service, but so much choice. We only ate in the evening a couple of times. But that was also very good and good choice. Entertainment was good, especially Joy and Coco, both amazing singers. I had two wonderful aromatherapy massages with Kno, in the hotels spa. The staff in general were so helpful and friendly. The hotel is literally just out of the town, so lots of lovely restaurants and bars and so cheap. Why only the 4 stars? The negative .. as with a lot of hotels, people were putting towels on the sun beds, I would say from about 7 am!!!! The sun beds were the main negative, as they are so close together as well, the ones with umbrellas were not quite as close together, but they were taken early. They have got a policy of removing towels after an hour if not attended, but this was rarely the case, although we did see it a couple of times? Our other problem was there were too many children, which isn’t the hotels fault, unfortunately it was who we booked it with was at fault. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and somewhere a little quieter would have been more ideal for us.

We just enjoyed a couple of weeks at La Flora, our second stay. Everything about the hotel is top class. The food and drink is excellent with a wide range of choice. The rooms are well equipped and kept spotless by the cleaning staff. No request is too much trouble for the front desk staff and the bar staff are super friendly and professional. The beach team are attentive meaning you never need to leave your sunbeds if you don’t want to. The position of the hotel, right on the beach, offers fantastic access to the sea and perfect sunsets. The only negative we experienced was from other guests. We travelled in early January and there were a lot of families with kids, making the main pool unusable at times. You can’t blame the kids but there was a lot of screaming and shouting. I would suggest La Flora create an area for adults only among the sun beds or choose the date of your stay carefully. Also sunbeds were being reserved from 7am making a nonsense of the hotels policy of sunbeds being cleared if unoccupied for an hour. In two weeks I regularly saw sunbeds with towels unoccupied until late morning. La Flora should enforce the one hour rule. To conclude, La Flora remains our favourite hotel in Khao Lak. We’ve tried others but La Flora has the perfect package and if like us you like getting out and about, the hotel offers easy, flat walking to dozens of bars and restaurants as well as Bang Niang Market. Finally the laundry over the road will wash and iron your clothes for 60 baht (£1.50) per kilo - avoiding the post holiday washing and ironing is worth it!

Amazing time at La Flora, located on the beach with great facilities. Khao Lak beech is golden and beautiful with its own pier for boat trips. I would highly recommend. Service and friendliness is very high standard, the breakfast food includes lots of variety and choice. As always Thailand is very good value for money.

The property was nicely decorated and clean

I thought it was way over priced and the service was not commensurate to the cost.

Tranquil and relaxing

Construction next door

I wish I could say this place lived up to our expectations, but unfortunately it didn’t. The room, whilst spacious and lovely looking on first arrival, smelled like sewage the entire 2 weeks we were there. We complained multiple times and they would fix it for a day before it came back with a vengeance. Another issue was that the walls must have been thin. This meant you could hear the neighbours conversations, their FaceTime calls and their…(in one of our neighbours cases) very loud intimate moments, which was unpleasant to say the least. In addition to this when we left we found mould and damp on some of our clothes. The breakfast buffet, while they offered a good choice of food was completely rammed with people. As another reviewer has said, it feels like feeding time at the zoo. We went half board and you could choose to have diner or lunch. The food is nice enough, but inconsistent with quality of cooking. However on some days the dinner is a buffet that you have to pay extra for. You can, of course decline and go for the regular menu. This just feels like an annoying cash grab. Whilst it looks in the photos like there is amazing wrap around pools - there is really only one main pool, which was completely overcrowded and, whilst families may enjoy a lot children being around, as a young(ish) couple, didn’t make for a relaxing time. The only place in front of the beach is right next to this, and the beds are crammed in so close to one another it really does feel like a budget, overcrowded place. To make matters worse you had guests leaving their towels on the beds for 24 hours to ensure they kept their spot. We only did one activity the - the T’ai chi class. It was honestly, awful. It very much seemed like the “instructor” was making it up as he went along. Overall, staff not overly friendly/helpful - with one standout Filipino chap who was really nice. The front of house were especially bad and overall did not seem to care to try and help at all. Overall I would say stay away from this place and save your money.

Sehr gute Lage, Frühstück war gut Zimmer waren sehr schön Schöner Strand

Bei den Liegen könnte es noch ein wenig schöner sein. Der Sand sollte gereinigt werden. Die Liegen wurden am Vorabend oder am Morgenfrüh reserviert. Leider wurde das durch das Hotelpersonal geduldet.
