Hotels near Mr. Chay Bar in Khuekkhak

Super clean and newly renovated hotel with a small pool, located a little inland. Great value for money even for Thailand!!! Breakfast available for 150bht. Very friendly and helpful staff at reception. We were told the times for the local buses, and storing our luggage was no problem either. We will definitely come back here!!!

We upgraded from 2 suites from a package TUI booking pool villa 838 costing about 42K THB for 14 nights in November and December 2022. 2 adults, and 2 kids age 17 and 10 so the privacy of a private pool was one of our highlights of the holiday. This is such a peaceful resort with beautiful surroundings and very helpful staff. Notably Emme, Gift, Mark, Tee, Big, Yuda, Tar, Pecky and Winai. This resort is not within walking distance of town / Biang Nang market area, and a taxi to go there will set you back 300 THB each way from the guys on the beach outside the gate. That's the going rate both ways so don't be conned by a chancer. In the resort there's 2 restaurants, one's a buffet and the Napalai on the villa side of the river and you can eat from both if you upgrade. There are 2 swimming pools, several bars and organised trips to temples, islands, local markets, animal sanctuaries offered from the front desk or holiday rep so you aren't cut off from civilisation by being in such a remote area surrounded by beach and jungle, which is actually a plus point if you're a surfer, nature or beach lover because this resort scores a 10 if that's what interests you. We didn't travel to Thailand for the nightlife, just to chill in some winter sun. There's ample entertainment just 10 minutes away from the resort, in town or Memories bar, but if you want boom, boom, boom and all night drinking go to Phuket instead. I'd definitely return, but not with children.

Ocean Leaf Great hotel, friendly staff, nice room, clean pool and good breakfast. 2 mins walk from a lovely clean Sandy beach. We stayed here for four nights to unwind before our backpacking adventure across Thailand. Do not try and eat within two hundred meters of the hotel if you want a nice and affordable meal, walk up to the main drag. Go Pong is a good choice, but there are lots of others. Check out my trip report on forums or other reviews.

Huge, beautiful property with all the amenities you could want in a resort. Spacious, modern and luxurious rooms, a rock climbing wall, basketball and tennis courts, games rooms, multiple restaurants, swimming pools, kids club and even a mini water park for the kids. Staff were very friendly and professional, food was delicious and the spa treatments were top notch as well. If you are considering a family getaway in khao lak l look no further.

The location was amazing, almost empty beaches, beautiful ocean, nice stuff always a smile on their faces. Outside the resort you can find really good food. Only minus is breakfast and the food of the restaurants, it is more delicious outside the resort. Not much variety for breakfast, and restaurants for dinner are at restaurant overpriced, you expect more for this price.

Review of Hotel Stay at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak and overall, it was a delightful experience. Here are the pros and cons of my stay: Pros: 1) Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is located in a prime spot, just a short distance away from the main tourist area. This allows for a peaceful and tranquil stay while still being conveniently close to all the attractions. 2) The hotel itself is a beautiful boutique establishment, with a charming ambiance. From the moment you step into the entrance lobby, you are greeted with antique decorations that add a touch of elegance to the surroundings. 3) One of the highlights of this hotel is the Michelin 2022 and 2023 chef who prepares authentic Nonya cuisines. This is a culinary experience not to be missed, and the restaurant is sure to leave your taste buds satisfied. 4) The hotel is surrounded by many amenities and local food options within walking distance. This makes it convenient for guests to explore and indulge in the local flavors. 5) The breakfast at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is simple yet delicious. It offers a variety of options to suit different preferences, and it's a great way to start your day on a positive note. 6) On a hot day, the hotel's refreshing little pool is a fantastic spot to take a dip and cool off. It provides a relaxing oasis where you can unwind and enjoy the tropical surroundings. 7) The owner and staff of the hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay and are always ready to assist with any queries or requests. Cons: 1) One issue I encountered during my stay was the presence of lizards and flying pests, especially in rooms with balconies. While this may be a common occurrence in tropical settings, it can be unsettling for some guests. 2) The housekeeping service could use some improvement, particularly in terms of towel change and cleaning of used cups. It would be beneficial if these aspects were given more attention to enhance the overall cleanliness of the rooms. Rating: 8.5/10 In conclusion, Hotel Gahn Khao Lak offers a memorable stay with its good location, beautiful ambiance, authentic cuisine, and friendly staff. While there are a few areas that could be improved upon, the overall experience is highly enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and charming getaway in Khao Lak.

This place is amazing. Super beautiful location and rooms, very spacious and uniquely decorated and set on a picturesque part of Khaolak’s beachfront. The staff and especially housekeeping were friendly and meticulous. Though it is a large resort, there were several different pools, bars and common areas with more than enough space for guests to feel as though it was never crowded or overwhelming. Older guests and those with mobility issues may have some difficulty as the resort is kind of on a hillside with lots of steps and pathways that may be difficult for some to navigate (though I believe there is a golf cart shuttle service for guests that need it - I did not use it). I liked that there was a small library in the lobby with books to borrow in a variety of languages donated by pasts guests. Would absolutely recommend.

A resort with a soul and a personal touch that makes it exclusive. The place is gorgeous by the beach, the entire venue is extremely well maintained, the rooms are pristine, the WiFi excellent everywhere and most importantly the team is incredibly kind and helpful from planning excursions to even going the extra mile to help me find my glasses when I lost them in the dark (and found them!).

We travelled with 3 families (6 adults and 4 kids 8-12) and stayed for 2 weeks. This was our second visit to Mai Khao Lak and we were equally as happy. Stayed in the top section (pool access jacuzzi suite). Modern, clean room with a separate living room, which doubles as a kid's room. Walk off the balcony into private spa area which joins massive swimming pool. There are no shortage of wet options with 5 pools from the beachfront area to the peaceful adults only pool area at the top of the resort. Loads of choices for bars and food. The new Thai restaurant by the beach is very comfortable with great food. At the kids pool area there is another kitchen and bar with great lunch options. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There is an hourly free shuttle bus from reception to town which is convenient, otherwise walk to the beachfront and you can get a tuk tuk (if you order through reception it will cost more!). Breakfast buffet is easy to navigate, with a huge selection of coffee / tea, fresh fruits / yoghurts, cooked food, cereal, pastries, cakes and sweets, loads of bread choices and cold cuts & cheeses. This was a big highlight for the kids and great way for us to all gather and catch up to start the day together. The beach and ocean are very nice, and the many options of beachfront bars, restaurants, laundry services and massage places are all within a 1-5 minute walk from the resort. We visited most of these during our stay and never had a bad experience. Kids club is awesome with plenty of fun and varied activities to engage the kids. If I had to fault something - the internet inside our room was poor, but in most other areas of the resort it was fine. So the 2 big questions... would we go back (a third time)? YES! and would we recommend it to friends? YES! Thanks to everyone at Mai Khao Lak for another memorable experience! See you next time!

The hotel is in a good spot next to the beach. The hotel is very beautiful and very large. There is a golf cart to drive you to the parking lot. The room you got was on the 1st floor of the building, a short walk from the beach. Breakfast has a variety of choices, good taste, quiet, but the door doesn't keep sound well, can hear people from outside the room. During the time I went, many parts were undergoing renovations. The golf driver was very helpful. When I opened the first room on the 4th floor, I found that the room was not yet ready, so I called to coordinate. After waiting a bit, I got a new room, very spacious. There is a balcony where you can sit and sip tea by the pond, but don't dare go out. There are a lot of insects. The bed was bad with a sinkhole in the middle. Not a good spring bed The bed wasn't completely covered with sheets. It looked like it was probably the same bed used in the student dormitory. The pillows are soft but not a bit thick, not squishy like other hotels of the same level. In the morning, before we had time to check out, the staff came to clean the room and said as if to hurry and check out. Mom and Dad said they would even walk into the room. Even though I was collecting things. I feel that since staying in many hotels of this level, This is the first and worst place I have ever stayed. Hopefully from now on the hotel will improve things.
