Khaolak Bayfront Resort

Loved out stay in Bayfront Resort! A very private beach, which we felt is one of the best in Khao Lak. The seaside bungalow offered a great vantage point and (of course) convenient access to the sand. There were some older wooden walkways that clearly could use some TLC, but service staff were super hospitable and friendly, and the main Khao Lak town ***** is just ten minutes by foot, or 100ish thb for a taxi. Slightly upgraded breakfast options (especially vegetarian friendly) would be appreciated for our next stay here, but overall we were very satisfied.

I got to the hotel and the lady at the reception seemed nice. She upgraded me to a better room which I didn’t expect but was happy about. I proceeded to explain to her that as a solo woman traveler I don’t need cleaning ladies coming in every day. They also had a clause stating they are not responsible for stuff missing from the room. She seemed confused at first but we came to the conclusion I will call when I need a cleaner to come by. In the following days I got woken up by the cleaning ladies for the next four days and every day I called them to tell them the same thing I told them in the beginning. In addition, the food I ate at the resort was terrible to say the least. The only good meal I had was the fish and mashed potatoes dish. Every time I went out to eat the staff would stare at me and giggle as if they were in preschool. As a solo traveler I am used to people not being used to seeing one, but this kind of behavior made me stop going to the resort restaurant. Going back to the food, when I ordered Caesar salad, I got a bug uncut chunk of green lettuce, dry big chunks of chicken, olives, some sort of fish, green paprika and croutons. Mind you, the menu stated the salad contains only chicken and croutons. On top of that, the room I was staying I guess had a bug problem because I had to kill off two cockroaches and sleep with mosquito repellent, even though I rarely opened the door at night when they could come in. Icing on the cake was my last day. I had two hours to kill before my taxi arrived and between my check out. The staff assured me I could take a shower near the reception after sun bathing. After I got out of the shower and was getting ready the lady at the reception (different one than in the beginning) started chatting me up unexpectedly. Keep in mind the staff have been stand-offish my whole stay there. I didn’t put that much thought into it and continued packing my belongings quickly to not keep the driver waiting. Everything went fine with the ride and all of my stuff were with me. Or so I thought. You see, when I got to the airport I noticed that my suncream was gone. I had a tube of a sunscreen stick and it was completely empty. I thought someone was either pulling a prank on me or my vision and hearing was detrimentally worse than I had thought. Then when I got home the next day (so today when I’m writing this review) I noticed the hundred Thai baht bills were gone. The coins, cards, they were all there. How do I know the cash is gone because the lady at the reception stole it? I had many hundred Thai baht bills in my wallet because I like to keep a bit cash just in case something happens. I exchange my money at my final destination and keep a bill or two for memory. The money was not significant but it’s enough for me to write this petty review. In order to keep my legitimacy I will say a few positives also, even though there weren’t many. The staff acts like they want to help you. If you like someone being

This resort is very well located and offers spectacular sunsets on the beach. It does not have a gym and the bed in our room turned out to be really hard. Two double-size beds were joined to make it huge, but it was quite uncomfortable as the joint was not filled and you could feel the springs in the bed. However, after reporting the issue, they provided us with a bed topping and the following night we had a good experience. It´s a luxury resort although luggage is not taken to the room. In summary, a good choice.

Great location on a lovely beach. Only 5 minutes into Khao Lak in a taxi (100bhts) or 150bhts for 4 people. Rooms were very spacious. The bed was very hard BUT ask reception and they will have a mattress topper put on straight away, this was much better. Bathrooms were a little dated but everything worked. Found it a little odd to have the wardrobes, kettle and fridge in the bathroom but they are in a cupboard so had no issues with it. The aircon kept the rooms super cool. Pools and bar were lovely, although it was a bit of a sunbed challenge to get a towel on while we were there. The massages in the hotel were super. All the staff were helpful, and seemed very happy We would most definitely go back there, a very relaxing, tranquil, peace of heaven
