Family hotel that needs some improvement

Posted 28 Feb 2020 on Hotels
This is a FAMILY hotel. The kids pool is amazing, but if you don't have kids, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Pros: Wonderful being on the water! Could walk to convenience stores, a few restaurants and bars. Decorations - the hotel really decorate for Valentine's Day. The elaborate decorations surprised us. There are multiple pools and the grounds are nice. Cons: The bed was lumpy and not comfortable. Our door had a crack where people could peek in. Our friends who booked two rooms did not have that same issue. The hotel staff was unable to refund our friends 250THB, after he talked with 4 different people. That's pretty silly. The happy hour drinks are all sugar and not very strong.

The worst hotel we have ever stayed at. This hotel claims there are a 4 star hotel but it’s not. It’s a 2,5 star hotel and that says it all!

Easter Family Holiday

Posted 29 Apr 2019 on Hotels
Stayed at the Khao Lak Emerald Beach Resort for 14 nights over the school holidays with my wife and two kids aged 2 and 5. We had a fantastic time at the resort our room was great and perfect for the 4 of us. Nice aircon thank god :-) It’s located directly on the beach so you can choose between the pool or the beach :-) we also took walks up the beach to visit other small beach shacks. The kids pool was great with a water slide and lots of shallow areas for my youngest to play safely in. Buffet breakfast each morning was good with lots to choose from and a fresh egg station :-) The only suggestion I would make is the the kids club could have more suitable hours so you can leave your children for a while as it is currently we could not make use of it which was a shame. All in all fantastic holiday and for sure we will be back to Khao Lak

Too much smoking in public areas and restaurants at the hotel. Room cleaning service was very slow. Asked to be cleaned at 08:30, when we came back from the whole morning until 2:30 - they've just started to clean the room.

Something for everyone.

Posted 24 Feb 2019 on Hotels
Great beach, pools, breakfast, room, staff -- what's not to like? Kid friendly hotel. Hotel restaurants good, Easy access to many "street side" restaurants and a little shopping, convenience stores galore and cabs easy to come by. Free shuttle booked the day ahead into "town". Nice restaurants on the beach. Room quiet even with lots of kids around. Staff made effort to offer kid-friendly activities, in the pool area and also with paints etc, and also made every effort to encourage adults to join a friendly game of beach volleyball. Multiple pools, lots of places to lay out in shade or sun. Room to roam. Reasonable pricing. It might have been nice to have designated areas for smokers in the outdoor spaces. Room air con worked well. Room clean and spacious. A fruit plate was placed on the in-room table for our arrival. The balcony had good room and seating for two. After being shown to our room, we were offered an upgrade in room (with an uncharge), but I did not feel it was necessary. I would love to return anytime. I only wish my whole family - husband - kids(& spouses) - and grands were all along on this trip.
