MUKDARA BEACH VILLA & SPA RESORT

Amazing garden property with koi ponds and beautiful pools. Room was top notch and staff were extremely helpful and friendly, even went out of their way to help me sort out my late shuttle to Phuket. Not much of a beach but the pools more than made up for the lack of sand. Breakfast buffet was delicious...would definitely stay again!

Great hotel on beach. Great area with shops, restaurants, services. Hard bed was only issue in room. No ocean front at hotel just rocks

Enjoyed a quiet and relaxing stay, good food, good location and facilities. Family and couple orientated plenty of good restaurants within walking distance.

We had a very relaxing enjoyable stay. It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle and into the warmth and sunshine. If you love to read, relax, swim and eat great food, then this is the place to go.

Great place and beautiful views

We enjoyed 10 nights here. Very quiet and relaxing holiday.

We had booked a trip to Thailand, with 3 nights at one very special Resort (The Surin) with a further 7 nights at the Mukdara in Khao Lak. Both parts of the trip were fully paid. We enjoy new adventures, meeting new people, interacting with fellow guests and having fun with staff at resorts during our stays, pretty normal. When we arrived at the Mukdara we were shown to our room. We asked to be moved because a nearby room had leaking gray water/ sewerage which gave off a bit of a stink. The Duty Manager was helpful in getting us settled into our new room. Our new room had giant red ants appearing every now and then, who knows what their bite would be like. No-one offered to deal with that. We were unhappy because the Mukdara was obviously not the place for us. It offered none of the things we look for on a holidays, nor did the beach look anything like a booking engine’s website we booked through, except for the swimming pool which was good. The rooms weren’t bad, a bit dark inside, but otherwise ok. It seemed to us that the Mukdara appears to cater only for mainly Germans and Asians. The “tour desk” which was a table in the lobby, with no attendant in sight, had only tour information in the German language. There were dogs on the beach, who frequented the breakfast buffet and the German tourists loved to feed them and the staff did nothing about it. Also the staff liked to adjust their nasal passages, while on meal / restaurant/bar attendance.

Beautiful hotel with several pools and great gym. Huge breakfast with lots of choice and a Lovely glass bathroom. One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in!

Low season in Khao Lak isn't just a change in the weather and ocean current's. The reduction in tourists and the change of the weather effects all businesses and certainly the resorts. The Mukdara resort is an older resort. It was quite pretty with great pools and located in a nice spot with beach access and within walking distance to some local restaurants, bars and the nightly market. Traveling with a young family we were restricted to the room for most of our 2 day stay. The room itself was large and included all the usual trimmings but a dusty air con system and plenty of hungry mosquitos made for an uncomfortable couple of nights. The breakfast was reasonable and happy hour cocktails were quite cheap. Pity that there isn't enough tourists to add some atmosphere to the resorts restaurants.

Everything is great. But the wifi connection is not good. I try to use my iphone and ipad and mac book to connect to the hotel wifi, but it doesn't work. The hotel shoud check for wifi availability.
