Khaolak Orchid Beach Resort

Perfect for the price! Just a stone throw away from the beach. Quiet but lively. Well kept resort. Clean, comfortable, tentative staff. Nice pool and good variety for compact breakfast. Will definitely stay here again!

Orchid beach hotel. It’s a nice looking place but dated and could be so much better. Check in was lovely we had a welcome drink and the staff were friendly, however you could see straight away that the hotel is a little dated and a little dreary. There is a fish tank in the lobby with dying gold fish in it which was quite sad . Our room A22 I would try and avoid if I were you The room itself is lovely but the shower is enough to drive you mad it constantly flickers between freezing cold and boiling hot. It’s unusable we tried to get maintenance to look at it but they don’t really understand and said it was fine. Luckily there was a bath which you could regulate the temperature a bit better. The beds are perfect and super comfortable, Mini bar stocked with water. The pool also needs attention there are tiles coming off everywhere especially in the whirl pool section. The pool bar staff are amazing always smiling and helpful. Breakfast is not too good, not a huge amount of choice unless you fancy spaghetti and curry … There is an egg station and toast but overall it just seems bland zero frills The breakfast area is a bit run down and there is a pool with some massive fish in there which also looks a bit grim. The grounds are lovely plenty of loungers, It is situated quite far out of town and just because of this I would not stay here again it’s just too far out of khao lak

What an unexpected treasure! When we arrived I thought we must be at the wrong hotel or we signed up for something higher end than I thought. It felt like a small scale version of a big Mexican 5 star all-inclusive, but without the trough-like buffet, watered down drinks and crowds. Amazing uncrowded beach just steps away, good restaurants down the street and more in town just a short cheap tax ride away. Renting a cheap scooter next door got us out on some great adventures. Despite the long flight from Calgary, this trumps all other vacations we have done. Great for families and couples alike.
