Seaview Resort Khao Lak

The hotel is of course very "tired", you can feel the former grandeur. Pros: - excellent breakfasts; - good cleaning in the rooms - the staff are great, very responsive and positive; Cons: - they charged an extra fee upon check-in for a 5-year-old child, 300 baht per day; - the room smelled very strongly of dampness; - a lot of mosquitoes, although we saw how the hotel staff carried out mosquito control.

We stayed at the hotel for 14 nights, the hotel fully met our expectations. Normer booked a deluxe with an ocean view, in her wishes she asked not for the first floor, the hotel took my request into account, they gave us a room on the second floor. The room itself is spacious, has everything you need - a hair dryer, a safe, hangers, wardrobes with built-in lighting, a TV (we connected a laptop via HDMI and watched movies), a small balcony, on the balcony there are very comfortable adirondacks and a dryer. We chose the hotel for its price/quality ratio, location and two large swimming pools. The hotel grounds are very large, green, it feels like you are walking in a garden, monitor lizards roam, fish swim, you can feed them. There are two large pools and a slide. The beach is quite good, the lighthouse smooths out the waves a little. There are enough sun loungers, if suddenly there are not enough, the staff puts out more sun loungers, there are swings on the beach. The water is muddy, opaque because the waves lift the sand, a couple of times when there were waves it brought garbage from the sea, but this does not apply to the hotel. In the reviews they write that the hotel is tired, I would say that it has a slightly outdated design, yes, it is, but for us it is not a hindrance. In general, everything is painted, clean and tidy. The staff is very friendly. Towels are changed every day, they give out 2 sets of beach towels so that you always have one clean set. Cleaning is generally normal, as everywhere in Thailand, we are not demanding in this regard. Change of bed linen on request, do not put a sign on the bed, they will change the linen. The usual hair dryer is quite weak, if you want to curl your hair, take your own. A separate plus of the hotel is its location, you can walk along the territory and get out at the poppy - in the center of old Khao Lak. There is a large parking lot for hotel guests. Breakfasts are the same every day, but you can diversify your menu with a lot of different food: sausages, bacon, vegetables, rice, noodles, beans, croutons, pancakes, eggs will be cooked in front of you at your request - scrambled eggs, omelette (with or without filling) or they will bring poached or boiled eggs to the table. Fruits: pineapples, papaya, pitaya, watermelon, melon, coffee from the machine is quite good for a hotel, there are toasters, jams, chocolate paste, in general, quite standard. Next to the hotel there is an O cafe - we went several times, good cuisine and reasonable prices, Thai cuisine, there are European dishes, sandwiches and burgers. We used the laundry services in this cafe 60 baht / kg they return clean and fragrant things the next day. There is a massage nearby and on the beach they also do it like everywhere else, in general it's normal.
