Khaolak Orchid Beach Resort

Bra hotell, dock en bit utanför allt tur de har moped på hotellet o hyra dock lite för få om man vill hyra får man vara snabb på annars kanske inte finns nån.

สดชื่น

房間舊一些，但足夠寬敞，安靜，有點偏僻，但呆著很舒服，整體來説和價格非常相稱

What an unexpected treasure! When we arrived I thought we must be at the wrong hotel or we signed up for something higher end than I thought. It felt like a small scale version of a big Mexican 5 star all-inclusive, but without the trough-like buffet, watered down drinks and crowds. Amazing uncrowded beach just steps away, good restaurants down the street and more in town just a short cheap tax ride away. Renting a cheap scooter next door got us out on some great adventures. Despite the long flight from Calgary, this trumps all other vacations we have done. Great for families and couples alike.

I had high expectations for this holiday spot and was rather disappointed to see how the photos do not reflect the actual conditions of the property. The buildings are in desperate need of a paint job and the stairways requires a deep cleaning. The gal who cleaned our room did a fantastic job, but carts of laundry and piles of towels are left in the hallways overnight. The pool area was well kept and the swim up bar helps keep on cool on those steamy days. The resort is across the street from the beach so there are no sun lounges on the actual sand. There are also no umbrellas or trees for shade so it’s not a place to be during the heat of the day , something we wished we knew beforehand. We did not eat at the restaurant as we found the local spots very well priced and delicious. There is a shuttle into town a few nights a week, but it’s not free and only runs at certain times . We used the hotel to arrange a wonderful snorkeling trip and spent our last day at Coconut Beach, which I highly recommend. The resort seemed busy so I guess there are travelers who enjoy this property, but we won’t be back.

We spent 3 lovely weeks at Khaolak Orchid. It's a lovely quiet hotel with wonderful staff and facilities. Breakfast was excellent although my husband would have liked more baked beans on offer. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. No rush to get loungers as there are plenty. Swimming pools are also well maintained. The sea was quite rough on a few days so you need to take care of you are not a good swimmer. I would recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing quiet holiday in lovely surroundings.
