This hotel had everything we could have asked for. Not being the correct season for the beach in this area (monsoon) the pools were brilliant for our family (older/taller children who can swim). The only negative was the bottom of the pool, this was a little rough in places and all of us lacerated our toes at various times, I had to buy the kids water shoes in the end. The pool is deep enough to stand (I’m 165cm) and it came up to my chest. Possibly not great for younger children as they would be swimming the whole time rather than standing. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts was plentiful, if it something wasn’t on that day they the staff would happily make it for you. We chose B&B and def made the right choice, the restaurant is an Italian style and although pleasant it would have been a shame to be tied down, especially with the low prices to eat out in the area. The Bang Niang market is minuets walk away, as is the beach and a plethora of restaurants, shops and massage opportunities, we had multiple family massages, 3 generations. The hotel provided a wheelchair for one of our party due to accessibility needs and this was relatively easy to navigate around the complex. Going off site with this was a little trickier, the paths in the area are not always well tended and we often pushed on the road. All in all I would return to this property.

Overall is fine, just only the staff should have more service mind. During our stay we did not see the staff greeting the guest both reception and restaurant. We found a cockroach in the room and informed to the reception but no any action or excuses. Quite disappointed for this hotel group.

the Hotel doesnt deserve a 8.8 rating! the room wasnt clean, we found different insects like bugs on the pillow, moskitos at the walks, two gekos and the worst was you hear rats walking inside the walls… breakfast is low quality, the gym very small and super old, our room wasnt cleaned during our stay…we were very happy to leave!

The good: Breakfast was OK. The pool areas were great. Gym was good (for a hotel gym). Bed was comfortable, room was clean and pillows were OK. Rooms were cleaned and serviced everyday. The hotel had free parking and every shop/resteraunt you could ever need including the beach is a 5 mintue walk. The Bad: Gym had no air conditioning. WiFi was unreliable. After my third attempt to make a bank transfer I had to go to a nearby cafe and use their WiFi. The Air Conditioner wasn't fantastic, it was good enough to get to sleep but the room was never comfortable. The showers hot water runs hot/cold which makes for a very unhappy shower. The toilets are western, but you can't flush toilet paper down, have to use a nearby bin. The photos of the rooms "conveniently" omit the sign advising the toilet style. The Worst: Each night, around 10pm and lasting to anywhere from 10:30pm to Midnight, the nearby bar starts the live music which for any light to medium sleepers would keep you awake. Our room had ZERO noise insulation. The hotel outright stole from us at the bar. She paid in cash, however the hotel then tried to charge us on checkout for the drinks. They let us go, telling us everything was OK and we wouldn't be charged. A day later we noticed my credit card had being charged for the amount of the drinks. This is straight up, no way to avoid it, stealing and theft by the hotel. I never authorised the credit card transaction.

This was our 4th visit to the waters and god willing we will be going back. We can't fault anything. Its not beach front but only a short walk and with the amount of pool area it no problem. The location is great due to the amout of small restaurants and bars nearby. We always feel a bit guilty for not making use of the hotel dining room in the evenings but we like to eat out in the previously mentioned local places.

Our room 212 looked out to a wall & a yard where staff collected their supplies for the day. We were only stopping for 1 week, so wasn’t too bothered. Beach was 10 minutes away and no facilities, which was a bit disappointing. Staff were outstanding, friendly and very helpful.

This was our second stay in this wonderful hotel - and again it was absolutely amazing! The room with direct pool access was wonderful and very clean, the bed is super comfy and guarantees a perfect sleep. Breakfast is also good, for dinner we went outside where many nice restaurants are located. Considering the reasonable price of the room, this hotel is definitely worth a recommendation!

Pros:Staff are great, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble Breakfast is well organised and plenty of choiceLocation - close to the beach and the hotel also offer a shuttle service to a bigger beach which is more comfortableConsRooms are tired and need a lick of paint Usual story of people reserving sun loungers and then going the beach or on a day trip for most of the dayPool area needs a bit of a facelift Ants and mosquitoes in the room (this was sorted once I mentioned itNot all pool access rooms get any sun therefore kind of pointless really.Overall we had a pleasant stay with no real grumbles. Would we return? Mmm I think there are far nicer hotels for a similar price so whilst we would certainly return to Khao Lak I think we wouldn’t be in a hurry to return to the Waters (unless the price was right)

Lovely hotel in a great location, only criticism is it could do with a bit of touching up in places, general decoration needed around the resort and some new sunbeds around the pool as many were broken. Had a pool room which was great but stay away from the Bay rooms as they look out on concrete. Very pleasant stay with excellent service and staff were very helpful.

I loved the many pools. I was staying in the Bay wing and connectivity was quite poor. I had to keep going to the living room to download e-mails, make bookings. I was his that was the only flaw in what could otherwise have been a perfect expereience.

This is one of those resorts where the pictures paint a very different picture than the reality, which was rather grim. It feels very much like a resort from the 80s and pools are set between gravel concrete slabs. My room was a pool access room but actually was not private at all since the room above also has access to the pool entrance right by your terrace, so be prepared for zero privacy on your balcony and the pool in front of it. The room needed paint in various places on the wall and had an old fake leather couch in it. The shower was massive but had a tiny little head that would no longer stay in place and sprayed to the side. Hotel completely overcharged on the taxi from the airport - do not use them. More than double the actual rate! Drinks at the bar were extremely expensive - 400 Baht for a double gin and tonic. The spa was the stuff of nightmares! Looks more like a repurposed hall. Old brown, cracked leather couches and dark dingy rooms. Massage therapist was winging it and was clearly untrained and inexperienced. Prices about 6 times more than outside. Located in the middle of nowhere in an unsavoury area. AVOID.

I loved the hotel, it was every thing I imagined from the pictures. We stayed in a pool access room, which was amazing. Very clean, fresh and who doesn’t want to walk straight out of their room into your own pool/lounge area. Very quiet place mainly couples enjoying a relaxing time away. Plenty to do around hotel, lots of restaurants, shops and a beach. Would highly recommend and stay again.
