Baan Khaolak Beach Resort

This property was excellent. The bungalow accommodation with beautiful front verandah and large comfortable chairs were ideal. They have interconnecting bungalows which are perfect for families. There were many bungalows on the premises but very well positioned so privacy was assured and so it seemed like there were very few people around. This resort is on the beach/Andaman Sea. There is a small wave and very suitable for swimming. The swimming pool was a beautiful resort style pool. Breakfast had a large selection of choices and beautifully presented. The staff could not do enough for us. Every request met with a smile and actioned immediately. I was sad to leave and if staying in Khao Lak again I will stay there.

This was my second stay in Baan Khao Lak in 10 years and it was as good as the first time: 1. The staff as very alert, friendly and helpful. For example, if its raining when we pull into the parking, someone would come with an umbrella rightaway 2. The pool is hands down the best pool of any resort we stayed in during our 2 weeks trip. They thoughtfully designed many shallow spaces for kids to swim all around the pool, and even have an assisted chair for the elderly to enter and exit the pool easily. 3. Breakfast was satisfying with many options of thai and western foods (not enough vegetarian options for my wife tho) 4. The location is great as its right at the start of Bang La On town, which makes it really easy to access anything you need.

Grounds around rooms are lovely with lots of greenery and plants. Rooms are nice but dated and dark. They could be greatly improved with a coat of white paint on the walls and painting all the black woodwork cream or white. Rooms are comfy and the shower was good. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Swimming pool was nice. We never had a problem finding a sun longer.

Overall a pretty nice place and handy to the shops and restaurants on the main street. Food good but didnt like that 7% tax added on instead of being shown on menu price. Layout of our room was weird with 2 double beds joined together and another single we used to put one suitcase and daypacks on. Returning beach towels to reception was not efficient to get fresh towels but maybe a past problem with towels disappearing.

Exceptionally clean. Friendly staff. Plenty of sun beds even when site full Well appointed bungalows. Very welcoming at breakfast even when lots of guests arrive as breakfast closing.
