Khaolak Bayfront Resort

Price/value for this hotel is absolutely fine. A little bit outdated the amenities, room is clean and the staff friendly.

Красивый отель в красивом месте! Номера удобные и уютные. деревянный пол, что очень приятно и редкость для отелей у моря. Сначала немного удивило расположение шкафа и зоны с холодильником и чайником в ванной, но оказалось довольно удобно. Отель не новый, но все работает, видно что делают небольшой ремонт, меняют светильники и так далее. Поддерживают чистоту и рабочее состояние. Матрасы жесткие, нам понравился. Территория очень зеленая и цветущая, гуляют вараны). Завтрак стандартный, все вкусное, свежее. большого разнообразия нет, но на наш взгляд и не нужно. Пляж прекрасен! Во время нашего пребывания были большие волны, поэтому особо не плавали, было достаточно бассейна. Бассейн, кстати, очень хороший, чистый и удобный как для взрослых так и для детей. До основной улицы либо пешком около 10 минут (до начала магазинов и ресторанов) вдоль дороги (тротуар есть), либо на сонгтэо, цена от отеля 200 бат, из центра от 100, как договоритесь, цены называют разные даже одни и те же таксисты). Можно идти по пляжу и потом подниматься вверх к дороге. Но учитывайте что во время прилива некоторые места трудно проходимы или не проходимы, идти придётся через другие отели. От души рекомендую отель тем кто хочет отдыха в тишине и живописном месте, но в пешей доступности от торговой зоны.

ดีมากครับ

A beautiful, traditional and well-maintained resort set on the beautiful sunset beach. Felt exclusive. Plenty of sunbeds facing the sea or round the 2 well kept pools. Rooms were well kept and large, with all of them having decent views of jungle, pool or sea. Breakfast was always hot, tasty and varied. Service was friendly and very professional. Our only moan was the inconsiderate smokers who had no respect for non-smokers, whether it is in the breakfast area or around the pool. We will definitely return. We met a lovely couple called Jenny and Trevor on their way to their new life in Australia. We hope all is going well?

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
