Khao Lak resorts

Pros: We liked the setting amongst the lush tropical bush which offered both sun and natural shade Staff were fantastic and breakfasts by Dom the head chef was delicious. We extended our stay 5 nights because its a lovely place

Cons: My only complaint was the Grand Deluxe room with sea views we chose (not knowing was up on the hill) required a lot of stairs and walking. I have bad knees and it was a chore to try and get a downgrade to a unit more suitable near a lift. Finally after signing off we got the downgrade and have thoroughly enjoyed our 12 nights here

Pros: Location is excellent! Right on the beach and just on the southern edge of town. Large rooms. Friendly, helpful staff.

Pros: The beach was nice and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The hotel offers transport as well as tours for a reasonable price and reliable. We took a hotel taxi to a beach a little bit away and agreed on a pick up time. The driver was very punctual.

Cons: The walls of the rooms were a little bit thin. you could hear guests partying further down. The breakfast had a lot of Variety with western options as well as Asian options. However the Asian options were toned down to western tastes, which I didn't like. But I assume, most guests were pleased with this.

Pros: good breakfast, pools clean (although a little shallow). Good location to eats

Cons: pools shallow

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The bed and room were comfortable, the staff were incredibly helpful and polite, the breakfast was great, the pools were great

Cons: For me personally I just felt the resort was lacking a little soul

Pros: beautiful setting breakfast excellent variety we have been to many resorts yours by far the best staff were friendly

Cons: nothing couldn't fault it

Pros: The layout of the property was sensational set right on the beach. Our beach front room was spacious with loads of storage, the pools were great and the entire staff was polite and professional.

Pros: The staff were excellent and very accommodating. The facilities were excellent and the restaurants great considering I had an intolerance, which they catered to very well. The room was spacious and we had a shower and a bath which was great. Definitely recommend.

Pros: The territory is super if you want quite and peaceful time. A lot of shadow places under the beautiful trees. Beach was very nice, clean waters with nice sand. Big advantage is that can swim during low and high tides without problems.

Cons: Restaurant should offer authentic Thai food as well. After all hotel is in Thailand :))

Pros: It is a gorgeous hotel with really really friendly staff. Client service from the front desk to the people that cleaned our room was always superv and always with the biggest smiles. The hotel is beautiful with amazing swimming pools and right in front of a beautiful stretch of beach. Breakfast buffet was really good and varied. The gardens in the hotel are really well maintained and although the hotel is massive you don't feel like you are in a big building and it manages to create a sense of boutique.

Cons: As a photographer I had requested a room with good views as I wanted to showcase the property in one of my articles about Khao Lak, but I guess they couldn't accommodate that ,as our room was one of the worst located in the property and we had to walk through winding corridors and stairs to get anywhere. Having said that the Hotel has such beautiful gardens and swimming pools that the walk was very pleasant. The area where the hotel is located has a few so so restaurants (for Thailand where the food is amazing everywhere) and little more.

Pros: - Nice green territory; - Great sand beach; - Excellent breakfasts; - Interesting room design. Especially ceiling; - Restaurant with nice dishes and friendly prices.

Pros: EVERYTHING!!!!! Cleanliness, staff, value for money and the hospitality is above and beyond..and the buffet breakfast that gives you a variety of food daily.

Cons: NOTHING!!!!!

Pros: The beach is beautiful. Very green territory.

Cons: It’s more for elderly Germans. Quite boring place. But after all I liked it. A bit dated facilities but still beautiful greenery

Pros: Staff remembered I needed gluten free bread each morning which was a nice touch

Cons: I was bitten by a feral dog, one of five that ran at me, just south of the hotel. Very, very unimpressed that in this day and age this still happens and can so easily be remedied. Suffice to say I have many inconvenient appointments ahead as need 5 rabies vaccinations as well as other treatment. Far too many cats wandering the grounds and sleeping on our outdoor washing.

Pros: - Very nice clean rooms with wooden furniture, floors and ornaments in great gardens - Everything is well maintained - Very helpfull correct staff - Nice, big swimming pool with good beds and poolbar/restaurant - Huge breakfast buffet - Two minutes walk to the beach - Very nearby lots of restaurants and shops - We first booked 3 nights, but extend to 5. - Great value for money (especially during low season)

Cons: No negative things.

Pros: Wonderful hotel in a great location, with superb a breakfast. Staff also very helpful.

Cons: -

Pros: Lovely hotel excellent staff and facilities would definitely recommend

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Pros: Beautiful green surroundings , very polite and helpful staff, excellent spa and breakfast team - Dan and Charlie very good .

Cons: I wish they could clean there roofs and if thai food at Big tree could be more authentic

Pros: It was nearby everything and stuff was very positive.

Cons: Pool area wasn’t good.

Pros: The location is good it’s a 5 mins from bars and restaurants and a 1 min walk from the beach. The spa was excellent with a great massage. The breakfast was also excellent.

Cons: I booked a Thai bungalow. The photos showed an indoor bath with an outdoor seating area. This is the reason why I booked this hotel. When I was shown to my room there was no indoor bath only an outdoor bath in a very small area. The bath was full of leaves and the path to it was covered in moss. They came to clean the bath but it was still not acceptable. I was initially told there was an alternative room available with an indoor bath however this was not the case. The only option was to downgrade my room. After discussion I agreed with a massage as compensation. The room I got had been a twin room. They pushed the beds together but 2 quilts remained. Apparently they didn’t have a spare quilt large enough for the bed.

Pros: Beautiful spacious resort with wonderful surroundings

Pros: Staff so nice kindly friendly

Cons: Air condition is loud

Pros: Nice beach

Cons: Same price range there is much better places in Khao Lak

Pros: The location was superb. View from apartment was great. Breakfast was excellent. Meals at on-site restaurant were very good and well priced. Overall price was excellent value. Staff were very good as we extended our departure twice.

Cons: Had trouble adjusting shower at first, but maintenance staff were immediately called in and fixed the problem.

Cons: Room Breakfast eed air fan, to hot inside

Pros: Staff very helpful and courteous. Property spotless. Breakfast plentiful and delicious. Resort wonderful for couples and families. We hope to return.

Cons: The weather but that’s out of your control.

Pros: We loved the selection of safe pools to swim in for the whole family.

Cons: The beds were very uncomfortable for me and my husband.

Pros: Breakfast buffet was brilliant! Staff very polite, friendly and helpful.

Cons: We had to ask on several occasions for our room to be made up and they also did not arrange the airport transfer that I asked for. We thought because it was so quiet in off season that less staff just meant they couldn’t accommodate all needs as quickly as you would like.

Pros: Obviously the swim up bar... Having separated areas within the room, such as entry area, lounge area, balcony, bedroom and a huge bathroom.

Cons: The check-in process could have been better. There were multiple problems, but they were sorted out in a timely fashion.

Pros: Excellent staff. Comfortable room.

Cons: Not really suitable for disabled with mobility problems'

Pros: We loved the beach and the restaurants outside the hotel were fantastic.

Cons: The hotel should only be booked through Tui. As a non Tui guest we felt like we were treated differently. Our children couldn't enjoy the kids club because we hadn't booked via Tui and this was a big disappointment. The finishing in the rooms was very cheap with mould around the bathroom due to a very bad design and water going everywhere when the shower is used.

Pros: Good beach but far away from hotel (road between beach and hotel)

Cons: Bad air conditioning with wires around control box visible. Bath is Ok but soap water is flowing around it by design, does not look good.

Pros: The swimmingpool and personnel. There are, in the low season, 2 eating possibilities a shop and a coffee bar, it is all very well maintained and a pleasure staying there!

Cons: Nothing even the rain was fun

Pros: The hotel was across the street from a beach and clean.

Cons: It definitely is not a five star resort. It may have been years ago but I would say it’s a 3 at the most. I wish I would have read everyone’s reviews before making a selection

Pros: Amazing rooms, Right Next to the Beach. Great, kind and Very professional staff. Our Best recommondations!!

Pros: The staff were excellent. My daughter was visiting and they arranged a room close to ours on the same floor. She had a very enjoyable stay. This is our second time staying at the GSS Khoa lak and everyone makes you feel very welcome. The management team should be very proud of their staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the room was good.

Cons: booking and also tripadvisor give misleading information. It presents the hotel as 5 star. But in fact it is a 3 star hotel. The price is far to high for the value you get.

Pros: Very beautiful hotel and close to the beach. I will go back for next visit.
