Beautiful resort. A little old but the room with access to the pool is great. Breakfast was okay. Pool is huge. Beach is private and clean. Resort offers lots of little activities like beach yoga, water aerobics, cycling! Great options for dinner at the restaurant!

We stayed at this hotel probably ten times, we love the pool, breakfast, happy hours at pool bar, gym and pool table. Room needs upgrade, the room we stayed the wooden floor slightly pop up due to humidity.

Hotel in phase of decadence. The facilities are not of a higher level than a 2-3 star hotel. It used to be a peaceful hotel for adults only (it is now more than 22:00 and children and families are still shouting and playing on the pool access rooms). No free shuttle bus to Khao Lak anymore. Prices in the restaurant too expensive. I have been here for at least 10 times, but I don't think I will be back again...really a pity.

Booked here after hotel we were staying in was dirty and glad we did. Booked poolside room with pool only few guests could use and room was stunning. Breakfast amazing and staff so polite and friendly. Cocktails really tasty and three happy hours. Right on the beach and pools saltwater and very clean. Not the cheapest hotel in area but worth every penny and more. Definitely coming back.

Firstly let me say this is a wonderful hotel. It's in the most delightful place right on the beach. You are surrounded by jungle. The pools are fantastic. The food is great the staff are lovely and helpful. You need a car to get about as there is nothing to do there. If you you want a place to unwind this is it. The hotel needs some updating our rooms bathroom door didn't shut. It's looking tired. If you do go there have the drinks package. That way you won't get shouted at by a member of staff.if don't sign for two cans of coke at the pool bar. It's not that we could go anywhere. We moved out of the way so other people could get to the bar. It was very embarrassing. We would've signed for more drinks all on one go. I reported it, but I don't know the outcome as know one every got back to us. After that we only had a drink with our dinner. We went down to the local shop and bought our own, which was far cheaper. It comes with breakfast l, there is a good choice but it would've been better if the food was hot. I still would recommend this hotel as the name states, it's a haven. We would go back there, but use it as a place if you are traveling around Thailand

Tended by the most beautiful people on this earth, plus the location leading to a sandy beach with awesome views. Hotel itself is magnificent. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and everything you could wish for. So many activities provided or chill out by the enormous pools. Cannot fault anything. Great gym & spa. Many dining options. Shuttle bus provided at specific times into Khao lak town itself. Someone remarked on it looking tired - have no idea whose glasses they were looking through. Loved - loved - loved it. Sad to leave

We spent 8 nights here in a pool access room on an all-inclusive Luxury Escapes package. We left with mixed feelings, but overall, we were disappointed with our stay and the way we were treated throughout. Things didn’t start particularly well as we initially had a room in one wing of the hotel but as we had plumbing issues with a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, we were moved to a similar room on the other side of the resort. This room too had a leak in the ceiling but we couldn’t be bothered letting reception know as when we did let reception know about the issue we were hounded and made to feel like we were causing trouble. I provided this feedback to them. We genuinely felt like we were being punished for causing an issue. This should not be the case at all. We tried not to think too much about what the liquid was leaking through the roof and dripping onto our heads when we stood at the bathroom sink. It didn’t smell great at times. Aside from that, the rooms were spacious and kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay. It would be great if the little terrace in front of your room was a little larger so that you could have a couple of proper sun lounges rather than chairs. The water pressure and temperature was pretty awful in both rooms and we had to constantly adjust the shower. We swam a lot as we had a choice of using the pool in front of our room or going down to the enormous main pool which stretches for almost 400 metres where it runs along the beach. The swimming pools are kept spotlessly clean. We loved the beachfront location as we were able to swim in the Andaman Sea and also go for long walks as the hotel sits on what may be one of the longest stretches of beach in Thailand. The downside is that there is not much within in walking distance but if you want to go to town you can use the hotel’s free shuttle which runs on a published timetable. We did this a couple of times to visit the local supermarkets and cafes on the main road. Other than that, we stayed around the resort. There’s a little convenience store about 5 minutes walk up the road which has a good variety of drinks, snacks and personal care items etc. The shopkeeper there is awesome. If you have mobility issues you would need to think carefully about staying here as there are a lot of stairs and potential tripping hazards all through the property. Even getting in and out of the swimming pools may prove difficult. You can see the resort is tired and needs a renovation so hopefully there are some plans for that. The restaurant staff are super friendly, especially the staff at breakfast and dinner. We were always happy to see the barista in the morning as she made awesome coffee. Reception staff were hit and miss, mainly the males were not great. Our biggest disappointment was around the cocktails and food which formed part of our package, we were left feeling like poor cousins despite the fact that we ordered off the so called “VIP Menu”.

In December 2023 we spent 2 weeks in this lovely hotel. Room: Originally we had booked a pool-access room but we decided to upgrade to a beachfront bungalow after we arrived. We were lucky and there was a free bungalow. The beachfront bungalow is great, it`s big, comfortable bed, sofa, big bathroom. Pillows can be selected and are really comfy. The beachfront bungalow has direct access to the really big main pool and we loved that. The pool is 1,6 m deep, finally a pool that is deep enough and good for swimming. The pool area - the best pool I have ever experienced, it was really great. From our terrace we had a nice view to the ocean. Ocean: in December the sea was mainly quiet and nice and the beach is loooong, you can walk there for hours. As the hotel is quite remote, there are hardly people at the beach. Location: quite far away from everything so if you like party and lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance, thats not the place for you. But if you want a quiet place in an absolute great location then its great for you. Within walking distance (max. 10min.) there are 4 restaurants and a minimarket, also massage. Taxis are waiting right outside the hotel and they are about 300 Baht to the center. Restaurant and bar: food in the restaurant is really good. Good quality, also room service is nice and quite fast. The drinks at the bars are yummy. Staff: best part!!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, always seem to be in a good mood and they try everything to make your stay a great experience. Renovation: yes, some things may need some renovation, but please keep in mind that the weather in Thailand is not good for all wooden installations and the last years during Covid were a hard time for the people there. When the AC in our room had a problem it was solved within 15 minutes, people are very dedicated to do everything that you have a wonderful holiday. Housekeeping is perfect, everything always very clean. I would always stay there again - we had a great holiday!
