Khaolak Orchid Beach Resort - SHA Extra Plus

This is a wonderful, smaller hotel with a lovely character. The staff was super friendly, good breakfast, and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Rather than the typical chain hotels, this one has a bit more character. Our 5-year-old son loved the cats and resident dog on the property, as well as the presence of a few beach balls at the pool. The hotel and beach were rather quiet despite it being peak season in mid-December. The location is beautiful but a bit off the beaten track. But there is everything you need right next door: ATM, restaurant, massages, taxi, laundry, minimart.

Because the hotel is not near the main road or central Khao Lak, you need transportation to get around. Scooters or bikes are a great option. Traveling with a child meant we had to take a taxi to Coconut beach (500 baht round trip), Pak Weep beach (700 baht round trip) and Bang Niang market (300 one way). All of this was fine and super easy. The hotel also offers a shuttle to Bang Niang market at 50 baht per person. We liked the location and the local beach, but it’s something to keep in mind when you stay here.

Very beautiful Ressort with a nice huge breakfast room in the middle of jungle and beautiful beach which is very big and rather for relaxing than for activities. The beach is not crowded (on some days there is almost no one near by). People who are working there are very friendly and helpful! Had an accident with scooter and they helped out with translation to the Thai Police. The place is a little bit outside so that you need a scooter or Taxi if you like to go to Bang Niang Market for example. I do not recommend scooter ;) especially in the night when it rains. There are also a few shops / restaurants close by if you do not want to leave the quite area.

The staff were so nice! It’s a beautiful resort. The woman at the resort who gave me a massage was the best massage I have ever had. Breakfast is good. I very much recommend this place to anyone.

It’s a lovely place to stay if you are looking for a quiet beach and nature. The pool is lovely and breakfast was good - mounds of fresh fruit.

The New Year’s Eve party was rather disappointing considering the price. The food was ok but country music was too slow for a party atmosphere and just dancing would have been more fun than musical chairs for a few. It lacked the new year party vibe.

Location, very nice staff who also allowed us to park our motorcycle inside. Room was also excellent

I suppose it can be even better once it's fully up and running as it looks as if they just opened again after the lockdown

The stuff very friendly. The view amazing. Quiet area with nice local restaurant. Big rooms

WiFi was no so strong

simply the best value for money its buildings had an Old Hollywood Charm .. stunning

nil

Staff was friendly but not always around. Breakfast buffet was very good. Gluten free bread upon request (in advance). Pool is nice. Location at the beach is also nice.

Bed was quite hard and the walls are very thin, you can hear the neighbours. The hotel is a little bit outdated and could use some updates here and there. To go to the centre you need a taxi, not easy by foot.

- The staffs are very friendly and helpful. - The swimming pool is huge and clean.

- The location is a bit isolated.
