Top 5-Star Hotels in Khuekkhak

POSITIVE - Cosy and modern rooms - Great location with direct beach access - Many swimming pools NEGATIVE - The restaurant was very average and the service there terrible (unavailable items that got charged on our bill; starters and main served at the same time; one person's main got served very late after our dessert order and then charged before we complained). We were expecting some decent restaurant for a 5 stars in Khao Lak but that was unfortunately not the case. - Front Office Team wasn't much synchronized. We had a continue booking that we mentioned upon check-in. Unfortunately, we got a morning call at 11:00 to empty the room even we had a prepaid additional night. Not very pleasant as we had to walk up the hill again to get new keys instead of having someone delivering them directly.

Had a wonderful stay at the sands as a family of 3 . Check in was a breeze as we arrived late at night due to a cancelled flight. Room was spacious however I did not like the layout of the room bathroom being very open, bed was comfortable , no issues with cleanliness - however some mosquitoes. Breakfast buffet was ok but very busy chaotic at times , we found it a bit repetitive the food options. Our daughter had the time of life at the pool,slides and playground it kept her busy all day. We enjoyed the swim up bar the cocktails were okay too sugary we enjoyed the happy hours at different bars at the resort we did walk along the beach 2 min walk to hippie fish bar and enjoyed the cocktails there more much better quality I believe happy hr was 6 to 7 there highly recommended good vibe. The gym was well maintained everything you need. We ate dinners at spinach, thenight markets, room service was great as well. We also loved the roti and fried chicken cart . Would only recommend staying here with children not as a couple.

Our stay at Robinson the was great. It was the end of our trip with two sets of parents, and the perfect place to wind down and relax on a beautiful beach. The staff was excellent and made us feel immediately welcomed. The biggest positives in our view: Staff, cleanliness, immaculate grounds, breakfast, gym/basketball/sports courts, and the great beach. What could be improved upon: the a la carte menu at the Bamboo bar was lacking in Thai options, as well as general quality. We ordered 7 dishes, and only the samosas and fish and chips were of decent quality compared to other food on our trip. This was in stark contrast to their breakfast and dinner buffets, which were both pretty good. Neutral: The location. While the resort has everything you'd need, they are fairly out of the way of everything. This offers a more private and quiet feel, but also means options are lacking, such as finding good Thai food or doing any light shopping or stocking up on drinking water at a sane price. - If you walk south on the beach (through a fun rocky area when tide isn't too high), you'll find some good restaurants, such as Thai Beach restaurant. Their food was among the best we'd had on our trip. The massaman curry was fantastic. Overall: Lovely stay, and would come back again for a few days!

There is nothing to say about the environment, but the booking was late and no 2-bedroom villa was booked. . . There are more Europeans in the hotel and fewer Chinese tourists, so it discriminates against Chinese? ? ? The male waiter at the check-out desk is weird? (The one with some sissies) took the mothers there, and one of the mothers shared a room, insisting that a pair of sandals and slippers were missing? Brother, everyone in Thailand will have sandals, okay? Never use hotel slippers. . . Convinced, the service broke down the entire hotel

The room is quite spacious, the bed is soft, the bathroom is very good, but the glass balcony has a few stains. Beautiful swimming pool, good service staff The breakfast was very good. There are food of many nationalities. Overall it is considered good and suitable for relaxing.

the pool is so long and is the main highlight of this resort. rooms are quite spacious. mattress topper makes sleeping really comfortable. resort look spectacular in a lot of ways. highly recommended.

We spent 10 nights at JW Marriott Khao Lak for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect for our needs! An utterly beautiful hotel with clean rooms and facilities and the kindest, most helpful staff I've ever come across in a hotel. Our room was spacious and beautiful, with direct access to the 2.4km pool - this was a great feature and it felt like we had a bit of private pool whilst being able to swim all the way to the main pool. The pool also adds to the feeling that you're in a village community rather than a commercial hotel, as we made friends with our ”neighbours” and would see them from time to time when we were out swimming. The hotel's beach is clean and stunning, the sun beds are thickly padded and comfortable, and we made use of the bodyboarding and kayaking equipment on our stay. The restaurants at the hotel were incredible! The main ones are Ta-Krai (Thai), Sakura (Japanese), and Olive (Italian). Before arriving I was a bit sceptical at how authentic the restaurants would be but the hotel has ensured they've brought in the best chefs who could bring authentic cuisine to Khao Lak. The sushi at Sakura was probably the freshest and tastiest I've ever had (albeit, I've not been to Japan yet, but it's still better than all the London sushi places where we live and even better than Nobu). We loved Olive restaurant too, in particular their Sunset BBQ evening where you're spoilt for choice on meats, seafood, sides, salads, and a full-on Italian cheese and ham bar with really delicious, authentic selections. Chef Enzo there was dishing out cheeses to us and making recommendations what to pair each cheese with and was so helpful (and the cheeses were incredible). We opted for the Breakfast and Dinner package and we're really glad we did as we loved going back to those restaurants over the 10 days. For lunch we'd eat at the hotel cafes, or out at excursions, or at local restaurants adjacent to the hotel, such as Phen's (delicious!). We also bought a spa package at Quan Spa in the hotel and booked in lots of treatments throughout our stay. The spa is beautiful and the massage therapists were excellent; it's a bit pricier than outside the hotel but the spa environment is worth it for that luxe feeling (and still cheaper than in the UK!). Overall, I don't think we found and faults with our stay at JWM and we will definitely come back in the future, perhaps for our anniversaries! And we would highly recommend it to all our family and friends!

Were in this hotel in November 2022, it was better and breakfast and cleaning and water were replenished (although it is also on the floor from the Kuller type, but now a large group of Animators has appeared, though there is practically no sense from them, the children's room, which is still in a separate building does not work, but the animators themselves hang out there (cool), and the children's wretched without anyone (just empty and wretched) room. They don’t really do anything and receive a salary and also housing and food. Dear management, look at the evening programs as they ruled under there was no one left stupid at the end of the program.Yes, and during the day everything is dead, We were in DESSOLE 8-10 years ago, so there one Annimator was better than this collective farm.I mean that there were more people in 5-6 months, service and the food is worse, also Annimators throwing money away guide pay attention to the stupid Animators you have more expenses, but there’s no point in cleaning food. th day and was interested in whether everything was pleasant or what they wanted to change, now there is no one, but ANNIMATORS is a collective farm.

We travelled with 3 families (6 adults and 4 kids 8-12) and stayed for 2 weeks. This was our second visit to Mai Khao Lak and we were equally as happy. Stayed in the top section (pool access jacuzzi suite). Modern, clean room with a separate living room, which doubles as a kid's room. Walk off the balcony into private spa area which joins massive swimming pool. There are no shortage of wet options with 5 pools from the beachfront area to the peaceful adults only pool area at the top of the resort. Loads of choices for bars and food. The new Thai restaurant by the beach is very comfortable with great food. At the kids pool area there is another kitchen and bar with great lunch options. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There is an hourly free shuttle bus from reception to town which is convenient, otherwise walk to the beachfront and you can get a tuk tuk (if you order through reception it will cost more!). Breakfast buffet is easy to navigate, with a huge selection of coffee / tea, fresh fruits / yoghurts, cooked food, cereal, pastries, cakes and sweets, loads of bread choices and cold cuts & cheeses. This was a big highlight for the kids and great way for us to all gather and catch up to start the day together. The beach and ocean are very nice, and the many options of beachfront bars, restaurants, laundry services and massage places are all within a 1-5 minute walk from the resort. We visited most of these during our stay and never had a bad experience. Kids club is awesome with plenty of fun and varied activities to engage the kids. If I had to fault something - the internet inside our room was poor, but in most other areas of the resort it was fine. So the 2 big questions... would we go back (a third time)? YES! and would we recommend it to friends? YES! Thanks to everyone at Mai Khao Lak for another memorable experience! See you next time!

The breakfast was plentiful and many choices. Take children to swim and dig sand. If you experience other items, the hotel can arrange to send to la vela without incurring costs. The hotel view is very good. I really got up in the morning to open the window, and I was in a beautiful mood.
