OYO Rooms - accommodation in Khao Lak

Great family friendly resort, easy access to the beach and walk to restaurants etc.

We stayed full board in a private villa with pool. It was gorgeous with the pool (5011) surrounded by greenery and a view over the property so it was pretty private. Staying in a villa meant you got breakfast at the smaller Terrace restaurant right on the beach. There were so many pools to choose from and areas of beach with beds etc. also miles of empty beach. We stayed outside of school holidays and although their were still a lot of babies/toddlers, it was bearable for the child free. Restaurant was great with good variety changing daily. Lots of Thai options amongst other styles and fresh foods etc. nice to have wine and beer included too, although it was bland. The staff were very attentive and kind. We did a cooking class with the head chef which was great, and by the beah. Cocktails great (330 baht each). We did some classes and the pavillion on the beach was amazing, but they were often in German and translated as after thought so not ideal, although Nadya was brilliant. Evening entertainment was...great to start with. Disco on the beach for example was fab...but the music was repeated every night so got tired. The shows were amateurish and need modernised (especially the girl only show). Snorkelling not good but sea warm and quiet. Incredible massage options right beside hotel (from 400baht an hour). Socialising as a British youngish couple without kids was tricky. Nearly everyone was German or had kids. Entertainment team not welcoming as other resorts.

This place is a dream. We’ve travelled a lot and this was the best place I have stayed in. The food is better than any other resort I’ve stayed in. Service was sensational. Pool access rooms were perfect for the family. After the first day staff were calling my son by his name and greeting him all over the hotel. Such a special piece of paradise.
