Khaolak Wanaburee Resort

Nice location, just need to be more gracious.

Provide all necessary drinking water without charge. Hotel only provides guest with 2 personal sized bottles of water, anything more and they charge you. Pretty ridiculous since we cannot drink tap water without getting sick. They also act like guests want to steal everything in their rooms. What is going on here?

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at Wanaburee. All members of the hotel staff were extremely thoughtful, hospitable and professional — they went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs are met, and that our stay is as comfortable as possible. The hotel boasts an amazing location — it’s located on a beautiful, sandy stretch of Khao Lak beach. The hotel’s beach beds are located on the beach (very close to the water) and are easily accessible from all rooms. We saw some incredible sunsets the 3 nights that we were there. The hotel manager is a kind and warm lady, and checked in on us multiple times during our stay.

Lots of shade!! Didn’t have to “fight” for lounge chairs. Beautiful beach. Lovely and responsive staff. Nice rooms. Everything is close.

The walkways down the hill from the lobby are quite rickety and poorly lit at night - dangerous actually.

Great location, lovely rainforest setting, lovely beach and calm surf, nice pools, super friendly

Nothing really - had a brilliant time

Very good

The Rendezvous 3 room is directly opposite so many beach beds so many people can see into the room. The privacy during the day is limited.

Location is exactly as described best beach area around. We had a swim up room pool access was lovely. Good position on the estate plenty of sunshine some of the villas look rather dark in the shade. Lovely breakfast restaurant egg chef could not do enough for everyone lovely man.

At the cost of the rooms I thought they could have supplied more water each day. The toaster broke while we were there and in the last 6 days it was a long process get your bread toasted. I am sure they could afford another one. Beach restaurant was a little basic.

The staff throughout the resort were so helpful and kind. The breakfast options were great, the food at the restaurant was top notch, the pools were relaxing, the views and beach were fantastic, and the spa staff were great at giving good thai massage. We absolutely loved this gem of a resort!!!

Nice resort and staff were nice.nice location on the beach

Too many mosquitoes.Couldn’t sit on veranda at night as we was eating alive.Having a big lake with stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Very friendly staff!!! Especially the resort manager and the cook. Nice location in front of the beach.

Still a relatively high price. The mattress of the bed for the third person was not too comfortable.

The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff very very friendly.The rooms quite modern and clean.The location ist really good,very calm,lovely resort and nice beach.The manager,she is so kindly and she takes always time to talk with the guest.

Khaolak is a much quieter location than Patong, and this property caters to an older / family market. a short walk to the main street with lots of restaurants, the 7/11, and thankfully we stumbled upon the delicious Bella Italian, en route to a night market. Dream Bar has very well-priced cocktails and beer, compared to most other places. Always a taxi available to take you into or out of town at TBH 100 one way.

Only one restaurant at the hotel, limited menu and very small portions. No actual spa as advertised, ladies were offering basic massages on the beach, which was great and very affordable. Hotel breakfast was simple, the same every day, which got a bit boring after a week. Unfortunately, no water sports due to conservation, and it's quite a long boat trip to get to the closest Similan Island / National Park for a visit.

Friendly staff. Good restaurant and bar. Nice room. Beautiful pools and beach.

Some features on the grounds are showing some age. One of the sidewalks was closed because of failing concrete. One sidewalk was flooded because of poor drainage. Overall, minor stuff.

Rooms were large, clean and comfortable with a nice small terrace. AC and ventilator work fine. The bathroom is also large and clean with good water pressure. Beds are very comfortable and fresh sheets everyday. The location is very nice, a couple of steps and you are in the ocean. The massage on the beach is absolutely perfect and quite cheap. Breakfast is nice with western and Thai food, coffee, fruits, salads, Joghurt and sweets. The city is small and in walking distance (15min), there are many shops, bars, restaurants and tailors there. Both pools are very nice and clean. Enough beach chairs under palm trees. I also enjoyed tasty cocktails on the beach (2 for 1 at happy hour).

At the "estate" rooms you have 3 neighbors (4 rooms in a house). So you share wifi with many people and it was very slow, even just for surfing. There is also a connecting door between the two rooms on the same floor, which aren't sound proof at all. In the night we could almost follow the neighbors conversations and also hear the baby crying at midnight as if you are in the same room. For the love of god, put some sound absorbing material between the connecting doors!

We stayed at this resort for 11 nights and loved it. The staff, especially Sali, are very warm and accommodating. The pools and beach are fantastic. The resort is well situated if you have a car, but you may never leave given how beautiful the beach and environment are. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and you’ll have everything you want. Thank you Sali and team for everything!

Great hotel in great location, very nice pools, beautiful tropical natural garden with stream of water coming from the mountain through a fish pond, very helpful staff, especially the manager Sani

Breakfast could have been better

The hospitality of the staff was excellent. The way they welcomed us was really nice. They wanted us to feel home away from home. And they did everything to accomplish this. Also breakfast, lunch & dinner was very nice. We certainly enjoyed the cocktails! ;-) On top of that, it's such a beautiful resort!!!

Nothing!

What a wonderful hotel. had a villa facing the beach that was out of this world. rating this 5 star is an understatement.

Location is not the best since need to a get a taxi into town but everything else made up for it

Beautiful beachfront property, nestled amongst lush rainforest / jungle setting. well laid out and comfoetable. Nicely unpopulated, quiet area, but still only a 10 -15 min walk or short 100baht bike or open taxi ride to Khao Lak centre. Direct access to gorgeous, quiet beach, with easy and quick tsunami evacuation route to high ground. Staff were lovely.

Dinner service / meal quality a bit hit and miss. Beach Restaurant roofing poorly designed so no escaping big rain. This could be easily rectified with just one more sheet of roofing iron.

Beach front, quiet, nice pool, and private.

The communication from the resort was poor. We enquired about a transfer from the airport; however, we did not confirm, however, a taxi was sent to the airport anyway. We made other arrangements. Before arrival at the resort from the airport the resort emailed us and requested, we call them. They tried to pressure us to return to the airport to take taxi they had wrongly arranged. We advised them over the phone this was not possible. On arrival at the hotel the staff were very argumentative and tried to pressure us to pay any out of pockets. We refused pointing to communication exchanges. The manager finally agreed to look into this the following day as it was late, and we were tired. However, this matter remained unresolved for the rest of our stay. This made us feel uncomfortable for the duration of our stay.
