Takua Pa Hotels with Balcony

From the moment we arrived until the day we checked out, every detail of our stay exceeded our expectations. The resort is absolutely beautiful, our room was stunning, and waking up each morning to watch the sunrise from our private pool was an experience we’ll never forget. It felt like the perfect escape from city life. What really sets this resort apart, however, is the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. A special thank you to Tom Cruise, one of our buggy drivers, who always greeted us with such kindness and made us feel so welcome. We were genuinely disappointed that we didn’t get the chance to say goodbye before we left. I also have a nut allergy, and the level of care the team showed was exceptional. They provided me with an allergy card to present at restaurants, and when they made a reservation for us at the neighbouring resort, they had already informed the restaurant about my allergy. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel safe and well looked after. This is true five-star hospitality. Thoughtful, attentive, and effortless from start to finish. We’ve had nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

This is my third time in Khao Lak, but my first stay at this hotel. Overall, it was excellent! The staff in every department were friendly and cheerful. There are plenty of activities at the hotel, making it perfect for anyone who wants to spend their vacation relaxing without getting bored. The hotel has a large main pool and separate pools for each building. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of choices. There was also a fresh coffee machine that looked quite standard and good quality. The hotel property is quite deep. If you walk from the front of the hotel to the beach, it's a bit of a trek. If you have luggage, you'll have to drag it a fair distance. However, the hotel offers a buggy service to pick you up from your building; you can call for it anytime. But when we checked out, we were in a hurry, so we ended up walking and dragging our bags ourselves because the staff said the buggy would take about 10 minutes to arrive. Another thing is that during checkout, the staff mentioned we had to wait about 7 minutes for housekeeping to check the room (so allow extra time if you're in a rush). If I have the chance, I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, good vibes, and very helpful staff. I really enjoyed my stay overall. The only downsides were that the hotel has no elevator, so I climb up to the third floor, and the power supply seemed a bit unstable as the electricity tripped when I used a charger and hair dryer at the same time. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay and I would happily return. A great place for surfers! 🏄♀️

I stayed at Ananea beyond for two nights during my birthday celebration with my husband. Overall, we had a pleasant and relaxing experience.       The service was excellent, and we were welcomed with genuine smiles from every staff member we encountered. During check-in a short-haired lady at the lobby provided us with a warm welcome, complete information, and professional service. After that, Paul assisted us with our luggage and gave us a detailed introduction to the resort facilities as well as our villa.         One of the highlights of our stay was the Pool Bar. The swimming pool was spacious and very clean. We had the opportunity to try several drinks prepared by Marwin, and they were absolutely delicious. We ended up having 4–6 drinks .He always served us with a friendly smile and showed great passion and attention when preparing our beverages.        Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to experience the Kanda spa. When we checked in  the spa between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, it was closed due to a photo shoot and promotional activities, if I remember correctly. As a result both of us missed the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment during our stay.       The breakfast selection was somewhat limited, although the food tasted good and the restaurant staff provided excellent service.        The resort itself is peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to unwind and escape from work-related stress. Our villa was very spacious and well-equipped with amenities. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. Housekeeping standards were not as detailed as expected. The bed linens had several visible stains from previous use before our arrival. Complimentary bottled water was not replenished during our stay .we only received four bottles for the entire two-night stay. Used drinking glasses were also not replaced. In the evenings, some of the pathways leading back to the villas felt quite dark. Additionally, several villas were undergoing renovation during our visit, and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes around the property.        Despite these minor issues, we had a wonderful stay thanks to the outstanding hospitality of the staff. We appreciate their kindness and dedication

Wonderful hotel! It truly 'exceeded expectations'. The only downside is that it's quite a long drive from the airport (an hour and a half). This place is fantastic for kids; the kids' club is superb! The infinity pools are endless, clean, and well-maintained... The gardens along the 'lazy river' are beautifully kept, you could swim for days and enjoy nature. Breakfast was delightful with its variety, an abundance of fresh tropical fruits, fresh juices, cheeses, and delicious pastries. Thank you for the excellent service!

The rooms are spacious, the service is excellent, and the breakfast offers a wide variety of high-quality options. The beach was quiet and mostly deserted, and there weren't many people at the pool since it was the off-season. Even though it was the rainy season, we had sunny weather every day. I would definitely stay here again.

Le Meridien Khaolak Being a Marriott chain hotel, it accepts Bonvoy, and I was impressed with every service. The front desk staff provided excellent recommendations for the hotel's facilities and activities. I participated in the morning bicycling tour to the Moken village, which had a lovely atmosphere despite some rain. The room was beautifully decorated with complete amenities. The bathroom was spacious and airy, with clear separate zones and a bathtub. Breakfast could get crowded and chaotic if you went after 8:00 AM. The food taste was average, but the staff provided excellent service, even mixing drinks for guests. The facilities are comprehensive. From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, there's a happy hour for cocktails by the sea, and the bakery offers a 50% discount. Overall, I was very impressed. As a Bonvoy member, I also received a late checkout. I will definitely return again if I have the opportunity.

This is a beautiful place to stay, the interior design is excellent and feels very cozy. The room was clean. The staff were lovely and provided great service. I'll definitely come back if I visit again! :)

The hotel's location is interesting. We had a sea view room (though the lawn in front of the sea, which belongs to the hotel, was a bit unkempt). The room itself was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious, and the balcony was great too. The pool is open until 10 PM, and there's a water cooler in the common hallway, so no issues with water. Breakfasts were tasty, and the staff were polite and pleasant. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Regarding the negatives: upon check-in, we found a huge cockroach on the curtain. How it could have been missed when preparing the room is a mystery. We didn't make a fuss; we just caught the cockroach ourselves and released it onto the lawn (there were two in total), oh well, these things happen. The biggest drawback, which overshadowed all the positives, was the non-functional air conditioning system. It's a central system, and it seems like maintenance has been completely neglected. When we contacted reception, an engineer came up and showed us how to adjust it (only two modes: 22°C and 21°C; other temperature settings didn't work). The room was 29°C. The AC blew slightly but didn't cool. Because of this, we canceled our extended booking and moved to a proper hotel with a working air conditioner. And where the AC unit draws air, there was a thick layer of dust... The hotel itself is great, but the air conditioning, or rather its lack of proper function, ruined everything.

Khaolak Wanaburee Resort is an ideal place for those who appreciate nature, comfort, and tranquility. Pros: The hotel boasts a large, well-maintained area with a beautiful landscape design. It has everything: direct beach access, a picturesque stream, and even a lake. The rooms are very clean, modern, and truly meet the standards of a 5-star hotel. Daily housekeeping ensures impeccable cleanliness. The charming bridges connecting different parts of the property add a special touch. Walking across them feels like being in untouched jungles. The beach is well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there’s a cozy beachside café nearby where you can have lunch or dinner while enjoying the sea view. The resort’s territory is full of life: you’ll see many butterflies and even friendly monitor lizards wandering around, adding to the tropical paradise vibe. Cons: Breakfasts could be more varied, especially in terms of fresh pastries. Good to know: The nearest 7/11 or town café is about a 15-minute walk away (there’s a sidewalk). If you prefer not to walk, a taxi costs 100 baht. The closest self-service laundry is a 15-minute drive away (400 baht). Overall, Khaolak Wanaburee Resort is a perfect choice for those looking to relax in harmony with nature while enjoying comfort and quality service. Highly recommended!
