Khaolak Bhandari Resort & Spa

Just back from this fabulous hotel, The hotel is just across the road from the beach and a short walk to the local shops and restaurants Access to your room is from 2pm, so if your flight arrives early, then there is some hanging around Our room 120, was a detached bungalow, very spacious, clean with twin beds. Air conditioning, which is needed, a nice shower room and as we discovered on Day 2, an outside plunge pool We were half board, so breakfasts were plentiful and really good. Dinners were delicious and plenty of choice. Staff throughout the hotel were superb. Always smiling and helpful. Plenty of choice in the food Plenty of tourist information in the hotel lobby, but a taxi rank, 100 yards from hotel and they are cheap. Hotel has a pricey Spa, noisy with children around the large pool, only downside Overall a great hotel, well laid out, and superb staff

I had a very relaxing spa experience at Khaolak Bhandari Resort and Spa. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming, and the staff were professional and friendly. The treatment was excellent and helped me feel refreshed and relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Khao Lak

We spent 2 weeks in Thailand and this is the only hotel I wanted to leave a review for. The hotel is in a nice area that's in a quiet area but just a few minutes walk from the town strip, the beach is just opposite the hotel so you couldn't ask for more in that respect. The hotel itself has many ponds, bushes, trees all which encourage wildlife which gives this hotel a natural more authentic vibe and you can listen to the birds every morning. The room was nice although we did have an issue with the hot water, in that it was very very hot that we had to run the bath at the same time as the shower to lower the temperature. The 1st night was also slightly annoying due to the family below us being heavy smokers and the smell drifted into our room even with the doors closed. The pool is nice although the drinks are a little pricey if that's your thing. The main reason for the review though is the staff. Every single member of staff at the hotel should be considered an asset. Very friendly, polite and helpful and seemed to want you to feel welcome, a very big contrast to Phuket where it was a bit more like London Thanks to all the staff including Ice, Opal, Kaem, Bee, Siddy + the bell boys, dining staff and cleaners I would definitely stay here again

Our accommodation was grate. The personal was very friendly. The atmosphere was calm, and relaxing according with the traditional Thai style.

We stayed for 4 weeks in a villa, and the hotel was fine. The breakfast was varied enough that we didn't get bored. As well as breakfast we had a couple of evening meals there including a very pleasant Loy Krathong evening which included Thai Dancers, a Staff Show and live music before floating the Krathongs we made that afternoon. There are 2 bbq/buffet evenings per week which we didn't attend but looked nice. Drinks reasonably priced normally and the same as external bars during happy hours (2-3, 6:30-7:30, 9-10). Restaurant manager and staff hard working, friendly and attentive. All the Receptionists were helpful and I normally dealt with  Bee, Opal, Ice, Kaem and Thicha. The rooms are old but fine and everything worked with plenty of hot water, enough to successfully have an outside bath. Both indoor and outdoor showers. Large wardrobe but we would have liked more shelf/drawer space, we are in Thailand for 2 months so probably OK if staying 2-3 weeks.The only problem with the rooms was that because of their design and orientation some were very easy to look into from the paths or adjacent villas. The beach was a very short walk from the entrance across a quiet road, it was possible to swim there but a better area was 10 minutes walk North.  Closest supermarket 7 minutes walk at the top of the road and turn left or right for lots of restaurants. 5/5 because although the villa positioning isn't perfect, the rest of the experience, value for money, prices, villas, friendliness, location makes up for that.

Beautiful hotel very traditional vibe, Gardens and ponds all well looked after. Breakfast was fab with lots of choice shout out to the chef on the egg station always smiley and talkative 😊 pool bar good drinks options/ happy hour and yummy food. All of the staff were very helpful and polite. Hotel situated across the road from the beach and a short walk to the shops, bars and restaurants so lots to do! Would 100% visit again 😊!
