Khaolak Orchid Beach Resort Reviews

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!

Good hotel, but a bit out of the way, luckily they have mopeds at the hotel and rent a bit too few, if you want to rent you have to be quick, otherwise there might not be any.

fresh

The room is older, but spacious enough, quiet, a bit remote, but very comfortable to stay in, and overall very commensurate with the price

Close to work, convenient, easy to find food to eat.

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.

A 2 week stay in an oasis of tranquillity with amazing staff and great food at the Verve restaurant. We booked direct with the hotel and received a generous credit to spend at the pool bar and verve restaurant, free evening transport to the night market or khao lak and 5 free evening meals. You can choose to stay on site for a totally relaxing stay with several evenings in the Andaman restaurant a few hundred metres away the main man there is such a character and will keep you amused. The staff at orchid beach are so friendly and always busy there was a lot of preparation in the grounds for the christmas holidays. The gardens are beautiful and ver natural. We stayed here 4 years ago and the standard at the Verve restaurant has excelled, truly amazing food don't miss it. Special thanks to Nook, Pear and Jee

We spent 11 nights at the orchid and had the best time. The rooms are super clean and so is the pool. The staff are so friendly and helpful and they all work really hard to make this hotel a fantastic place to stay. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. I would 100% stay again.

Stayed here just before the pandemic and was keen to come back. We stayed in the orchid wing of the hotel and again the room was spotless and very well maintained like everything else here. A compact hotel on even ground so makes it very easy if you have mobility problems.the on site beach front restaurant is very good and no more expensive than eating out at the limited number of restaurants in the area. On site is also an outside sala for massages which again were comparable with those outside the resort price wise and executed very well. There is also in reception a tour desk with a lovely and knowledgeable lady who can sort trips out for you. All the staff here from the gardeners to management are very polite with a happy disposition. If you want a bit of peace and quiet on a lovely stretch of beach and the town and markets within a 10 minute ride away this hotel should be in your thoughts.

Great room (delux),very large,separate shower and bath sofa/daybed,safe,good size fridge,balcony,close to a very large pool,good childrens pool,very long almost empty beach.Breakfast of 2 eggs cooked anyway you want and a selection of hot things,changes most days.Sit up bar in the pool and another pool at one end of the large lawn area with loungers and umbrella’s and massage.Restaurant was good facing the beach and sunset,three other restaurants,next door with a mini mart.Hotel is pre Tsunami and has a lot of indoor space( more than really needed).Staff friendly and attentive but not intrusive.I found it great value and good.

Wish i could stay in this hotel. Sent the first inquiry at March 18. Got an answer the next day with a good offer only not for the wanted room. Explained why i wanted another room the same day. Asked for an answer March 21st. Got an answer March 22nd. Accepted the offer and asked for a confirmation and how to pay (when necessary) the same day. No answer. Asked again March 25th. No answer. Sent another inquiry form from their website. No answer. Asked again March 29th. Till now (April 8th) no answer. This is not Thailand where guests are always welcome and where we always got an answer the same or the next day. Obviously they don't want my husband (71) and me (67) being their guests. Booked somewhere else.
