The staff was lovely, however this does not make up for the grounds nor does it make up for the run down rooms, linens, and overalll appearance of the property & its rooms. Every towel, every day, was tattered or torn. Bedsheets had holes in them. The property is extremely run down, not properly maintained, every stone & exterior decor is dirty and ungroomed. The outdoor water sources do not have water movement, so the water is stagnate. The back of the facility smells of sewer. The rooms are very dark & not well cleaned. They advertise "pillow top" mattresses, they provide pillow top toppers, on request, and they do not add comfort. The gym is deplorable. No space, old equipment that is rusted, no cleaning supplies to wipe down mats or equipment. The breakfast bar containers are not washed daily, the condiments are just topped up.

Pros: really lush property, comfortable rooms with balconies, nice pool area, nice breakfast area. You can walk into town and to the beach which is great. Cons: the food is pretty terrible. Breakfast is good, but we ordered pad thai and a curry at dinner, and it was almost flavorless and no spice at all, not even a hint. Lots of europeans, so we wondered if they watered down the flavors to try and cater to that?

It was beautiful, from the rooms to the grounds. Very peaceful with a view to the hills beyond. Good pool and very friendly drinks sevice there too. Short walk to the beach, though its best walking a little further along to find the pergect spots.

Wow what can I say what an experience we loved it, upon arrival till departure we loved it all, the staff, room, everything was on point. It was our 10 year anniversary and the hotel staff went out of their way to make sure we had a remember able stay, it was shocking and well worth it. Did definitely say here again...

Our room was huge, very clean and with a terrace. The floors are raised off ground level though so you can hear everyone when they are walking about as they are very creaky. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place for you as the bar takes last orders around 10.30. There is a main strip a walk away with bars and restaurants though. Food excellent, staff lovely, setting beautiful. I can highly recommend it.

Staff were all very friendly and accommodating from check-in to check-out. We were really impressed with our rooms overall and consider this hotel to be great value for money. Buffet breakfast was fantastic with a great selection of items. We also had the Thai Buffet dinner and that was also fantastic. We even managed a few massages and found this to be very relaxing. My only comment would be the water pressure in the shower was very soft but overall very impressed with our stay.

Perfect if you like it a little more calm&quiet, at least in June/low season (when it could rain A LOT). Beach is a short walk, main road 10 minutes. Breakfast remarkable, also staff VERY friendly and always reading your thoughts, for more coffee (good) or more beer. Houses needed some restorations, ongoing already. Very nice property all in all. I‘ve enjoyed it all (sorry, not the spa).

A great resort just by the beach. Friendly service, an excellent breakfast buffet of fresh food options, a comfortable room with a cosy bed and all of the amenities. A feature of the stay was an excellent soul resetting Thai massage... a little more expensive than the options down by the beach but the ambience of the Bhandari spa made it worth every Baht.

We stayed here for a week and had zero issues the entire time. The resort is intimate and just off the main road so there is not much traffic or noise pollution but close enough to any restaurants. The facility itself is well maintained, the mattresses and pillows were very firm, and AC was powerful. Wifi was powerful, we had no issue connecting wherever we were. The staff is very friendly, the service is prompt and whenever we had a special request, it was met promptly. Daily breakfast buffett is nice, has western eggs, pancakes, toast, meats, salad bar, fruit, and Asian delights like rotating curry, stir fry, noodles, and soup. The beach is right across the street. There is only one pool that is medium size, I could imagine at capacity the pool area would become full pretty quick. If you're okay staying in Khao Lak then this is probably one of the best value and well-run resorts in town. If you're more adventurous and plan to spend a majority of your time off resort, I would recommend staying farther north which is a little more vibrant.

Good location close to city, 5 minutes walk. Garden is amazing, beautiful flowers, trees and fish. Relaxed swimmingpool area. Staff is fantastic. Smile and helpfull. Good in english We rented mc at the hotel, good service. A bit overpriced minibar and laundry. To be recommended
