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!

I had high expectations for this holiday spot and was rather disappointed to see how the photos do not reflect the actual conditions of the property. The buildings are in desperate need of a paint job and the stairways requires a deep cleaning. The gal who cleaned our room did a fantastic job, but carts of laundry and piles of towels are left in the hallways overnight. The pool area was well kept and the swim up bar helps keep on cool on those steamy days. The resort is across the street from the beach so there are no sun lounges on the actual sand. There are also no umbrellas or trees for shade so it’s not a place to be during the heat of the day , something we wished we knew beforehand. We did not eat at the restaurant as we found the local spots very well priced and delicious. There is a shuttle into town a few nights a week, but it’s not free and only runs at certain times . We used the hotel to arrange a wonderful snorkeling trip and spent our last day at Coconut Beach, which I highly recommend. The resort seemed busy so I guess there are travelers who enjoy this property, but we won’t be back.

We spent 3 lovely weeks at Khaolak Orchid. It's a lovely quiet hotel with wonderful staff and facilities. Breakfast was excellent although my husband would have liked more baked beans on offer. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. No rush to get loungers as there are plenty. Swimming pools are also well maintained. The sea was quite rough on a few days so you need to take care of you are not a good swimmer. I would recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing quiet holiday in lovely surroundings.

I loved this hotel and their staff. Nook, Pear, Far, the girls on the reception and the young shuttle bus driver are all fab, along with all the rest of the staff who work endlessly to look after you. Yes the hotel could do with a lick of paint on the outside and some of the teak furniture has had a few dinks and knocks, but its still a great place to stay. I stayed in room 323, it had great Aircon, great walk in shower along with seperate bath, massive and I mean massive bed, I had to crawl out of it, good wifi. Never tried the TV as im English and most or neon all channels were not English spoken (understandable im in Thailand). Pools were lovely and cleaned regularly, pool bar was great and managed by Nook and Pear. Bar/restuarant, i was looked after by Far. The girls in reception, looked after me extremely well and gave me some fantastic Glue, yes Glue to take back with me :). The young chap who drives the shuttle is so lovely and I did have a few giggles with him and made sure we got to and from hotel safely. Shuttle runs every 3 days to Khaolak town and Market. If you dont want to leave the hotel, there are a few nice restuarants near by and the beach a stones throw away. Breakfast was great, I had several different things each day, the breakfast is mostly I believe classed as American with only one Thai dish, which I didnt mind. I had a really lovely stay, your really couldnt ask for nicer, more attentive staff or hotel location. Would I recommend here, yes I would. Will I return, I hope so and not too far in the distant future if they will have me back :). Thank you Orchid for looking after me so very well. Wish I could give you all another big hug xxxxx

Stayed 5 nights in this beautiful oasis of tranquillity, was just perfect for everything, staff were incredible although a very special mention must go to NOOK she never seemed to stop smiling and was so happy arm and welcoming each time we saw her, she really is a credit to the resort. Nice food and ambiance, great location and so very relaxing with amazing beach right on the doorstep. Everyone at orchid beach are so friendly and always busy and really can not wait to go back.
