It's a medium large resort which is perfectly situated at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (this where Khao Lak is famous for). 
We've booked a villa on the beach in bed & breakfast formula.
We've booked a villa on the beach in bed & breakfast formula.HINT: You can also stay in halfboard & all inclusive (supplement of 650 & 1250BHT per person/night to pay on the spot).
But I'd recommand you (as we've been adviced) to go out and enjoy one of the many restaurants. This way you enjoy the real local food & there are several clean & good restaurants with a wide range of food.
The villa is very spacious and of course has an amazing view.
The only remark i have to make is the fact there are sunbeds in front of the house. (Which is of course not in the discription of the brochures). But in the evening it's just amazing to be directly at the beach.
What we've experienced last night is that the waves can be very loud 😃. But i hope the sea is going to calm down so we will have a peaceful night. (As I said, I will be honest on this blog and tell you also the negative points)
But I was very happy to be far away from the pound that was full of frogs. You can imagine the sound in the evening 😀..
Hint: Do not forget your protection against the mosquito. As you're very close to the woods (in fact you're surrounded by them).
Room facilities:
- Beds are king size (180cm
- Large TV in the middle of the room (disadvantage: you can not see the sea from the bed)
- separate living room with coach/chairs.
- minibar (only included for all inclusive guests)
- complimentary water (2 bottles per day)
- safe (free of charge)
- wardrobes are rather small for a resort.
- docking station (Philips) for iPhone 5/6.
Bathroom facilities:
The villa's do have a bath with a view over the beach/sea and shower.
The shower is spacious and is a normal shower with a good water pressure.
There are several amenities like shampoo, soap, shaving kit,...
The hairdryer is not very strong and can not be used in the bathroom (as it has a different charger. But there is an extra mirror in the bedroom with light for make-up and to dry your hear.
There is electricity in the bathroom to shave. so this is not an issue, except for the fact there is not that much light in the evening. So you better do this during the day 😀.
The breakfast:
Breakfast is served in the oriental restaurant. There is a buffet which is of course incompatable with the Hilton buffet, but broad enough.
They serve
- fresh cut fruits
- 2 kind of broad + toast
- sunny side up eggs, noodles, bacon, sausages (eggs can be baked on demand too)
- jams/nutella (the real one 😃)
- donuts/ brioche
- 2 kind of yoghurt
- wafles & pancakes
- orange/pineapple juice (water with extract)
General advantages of this resort:
- 5 min walk from a small village with lots of restaurants (half board is definitely no need here)
- spacious rooms (although the villa's - I can't judge the standard rooms) with a good airconditioning (individual)
- comfortable sunbeds with matras, pillow & lay-over on a beautiful beach.
More then enough seats, which avoids to reserve a bed.
- when you have a villa, you're really close to the beach with an extraordinary view.
- real coca-cola & other alcohols are served + wide range of smoothies
- good massages for reasonable prices (600BHT for 50 min) @ the pool or inside.
HINT: go for a walk along the beach, several massage facilities are offered for half the price.
General disadvantages:
- the pool was not clean enough (water had a green shine)
- no real shower facilities on the left side of the beach (except the tab to wash your feet)
- drinks do have european prices (80BHT for a coca cola) & there is no waiter on the beach (but they bring the drinks if you pas your command @ the bar)
Additioneel information:
A soft drink costs 80 baht, but there is happy hour (all drinks half the price) from 4pm till 5pm on a selection of drinks & cocktails.
General score for a 4* hotel in B&B: 7,5/10
