Walking distance to beach but no access to beach chairs with no shade at beach. Resort nice pool and massage on site. There was issues with room requested one queen bed did not get got two twins instead did not say anything. My complaint about property was the manager the room was extremely hot and manager would not allow another key to improve this and stated she is saving the environment which I corrected this is not saving environment saving money only. I was not happy it was too warm in our room and being on upper floor made it worse and manger did not care. Also bothersome that manager hiding behind this lie of saving the environment talking to me like I’m a fool. Everything is money driven and just hope Thai employees get paid well there.

Khao Lak Orchid Beach Resort
If you want a quiet beachside resort this is perfect. If we didn’t have a hire car we would have felt quite isolated, however there are a few restaurants and a small convenience store next door to the hotel. Breakfast was very basic and we skipped it a number of days as we got bored of eating omelette. Rooms are huge, could do with a bit of modernisation but perfectly comfortable and very clean. The staff are what make this place, everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful.

Isolated, quite and perfect!
This resort was fantastic! The rooms are huge as is the bathroom with a separate tub. Out room overlooked the pool and the beach. As it was the low season it was very quite and it seemed like we had t he whole place to ourselves! The breakfast was basic, but I got the impression that during the peak season there would be more variety. The restaurant and bar overlooks the beach. There was two huge clean swimming pools and one with a swim up bar. They have a shuttle bus that runs a few times a day into Khao Lak town (about 20 mins drive) or to one of the local markets, and costs 100 baht for return trip or 50 baht one way, a taxi back will cost 300 baht. They also offer scooter or bicycle rental at a very cheap rate. There is a massage station next to the main pool and a 1hr massage cost 320 baht, as well as an onsite beauty spa. They can also organise day trips and airport transfers, although you might find this cheaper down the road. We really loved this resort and the isolated location, unfortunately the ocean here is quite rough with a steep drop off, so swimming would be at your own peril and not advised. There is also a few restaurants located near the resort. Hopefully I will be able to come back and stay again!

Off season stay = very quiet
Overall good stay. There was only a couple other people staying in the hotel during our visit in mid May so it felt kinda dead but that is the off season. The beach is beautiful. The resort looks beautiful as well. The shower was hot. Breakfast was as good as you can expect. I think it is funny they try to make a western breakfast but none of it is quite the same. Like the waffles and bacon are just a little off. But they try and it's not bad. The Thai part of breakfast was great. There are many restaurants within walking distance right next to the hotel and massage places. The hotel staff didn't speak great English but most places don't. They tried so hard though and were accommodating

Great Place if your looking for beech location
Have stayed at this hotel for the past 3 years, it's in a quite location but only a few minutes in a cab or by scooter if you're looking for some action. Staff are great, it's not a 5* hotel but it has everything you need. Nice swimming pool with swim up bar. Restaurant onsite is also good and reasonably priced. Great place for couples and families, with the usual few massage, restaurants & bars just outside along the road.

Wonderful stay
Excellent hotel with wonderfully friendly staff. breakfast had a nice variety of international food in it's buffet. Pool area is very nice and the sea is a stones throw away. The hotel itself could receive a small amount of general maintenance but that's hardly a problem. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves a good variety of international dishes and some excellent Thai food. Very happy with our stay.

Really nice hotel - great value
We had an enjoyable 4 night stay in November 2017. We had stayed at this resort last year and so we knew that we would enjoy. Our initial reception was wonderful as we arrived during the day this time. We were early and our room was ready. Perhaps because we were repeat customers we got an upgraded room. Room was very clean and we had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and a partial view of the ocean. Included breakfast was typical and enjoyable, not over the top. Highly recommend the Orchid Beach Resort at Khao Lak!

On the beach but?
We stayed 2 nights to see what the resort is like, l thought it was right on the beach but you have to cross a road not a busy one, but a quite a walk to the sea. I asked for a ground floor room on booking but they offered a third floor room it would have been nice but there are no lifts in this resort. So they kindly gave us an upgrade to the family suite. The main bedroom had holes in there curtains and lights in 3 wardrobes would not go off. They need to check rooms, also there was awful smell one day in the 2 bathroom. The girls that clean were helpful and tried to get this fixed for us. We ate at the Verde 29 restaurant one evening for a meal and drinks we got 20% discount. Never used the pool but it was clean and they served drinks. Breakfast was a dispointment maybe because it was low season. Air-con was the best we have come across so cool.

Relaxing stay for four nights during low season
Very relaxing stay. Beach closer by but rough sea during the season. Room big. Price good. Location is far from the restaurants or shops on the main road when without any vehicle. But then free bicycle is provided from the hotel or 300thb for the rental of the motor bike. Two local restaurant nearby. Lay makes good food. Specially Dong yam kung soup and prawn.

Nice Hotel close to the beach.
Check in & out was seamless. Our Double Room was large and very well equipped. The King size bed was very comfortable along with the Sofa. We really enjoyed the balcony Sea view. You could watch the sun go down with a cool drink in your own space..10 out of 10 fantastic. The Breakfast buffet was quite good,with the staff being very attentive. Although on the hot food section some good clear labelling would help identify what was being offered, especially on some of the Thai dishes and I don't mean. (Rice or Noodles) ( Bacon, Sausages, or Ham) The Restraurant & Bar serve good food, drinks & cocktails it is on the expensive side but it does have a nice setting. The Three Pools,Children, Adults + Children, Adults Only, is a bonus especially when busy. All outside areas are maintained to a very good standard including the pools. The Shuttle buses run hourly to Khao Lak and the Market for a small charge per person & you can hire a taxi should you want a private transfer,which is great for getting out trying other restraurants and shopping.

Good hotel opposite beach & close enough to town.
Hotel facilities were good and kept very clean, although the older section could do with an update. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. grounds and pool area were nice and kept neat. Hotel staff were friendly, but some of the restaurant staff were hopeless with service and understanding meaning the Restaurant and bar service was very poor. It was annoying that all the printed info left for guests to read was in German only. Didn't like that the hotel warned guests not to eat in the local restaurants due to poor hygiene. The restaurants only a short walk from the hotel were great and the food better than the hotel for a third of the price with much better service. Overall stay was good.

Nice resort: beach, breakfast, and spa
The hotel is in the north end of Khao Lak. Easy reach on a rental car. The Budget rental car office is about 2 km from the hotel. You can rent a car in the Phuket international airport to reach the hotel if you wish. Beautiful pool with warm water surrounded by trees. Nice large bedroom. The beach is right across from the hotel. Buffet style breakfast looks like lunch. Thai massage and spa for good price... I would not hesitate to return... :-)

Superb Hotel Next To The Beach
We chose this hotel after reading reviews on tripadvisor nd it lived up to all that was said. It was in a beautiful location but very secluded, so would only suit people who want peace and quiet but you can always use the hotel shuttle to take you into Khao Lak. The staff were so friendly, kind and happy to assist with any issues you may have. The room that we had was out of this world. We had a balcony overlooking the pool and the beach. We were speechless when we saw the room. The hotel was booked for our wedding anniversary and a lovely bunch of red roses were in the room for our arrival. It is about 1hr 15 mins from Phuket airport, so not too far away at all. We will certainly be stayng there again.

Satisfied guest
The hotel is a 1hour and 30mins drive from Phuket International airport and it will take you 2kms to reach the hotel from the main highway. Going out to the Khao Lak market to get some souvenirs would require you to take a taxi that you can ask the kind reception ladies and the taxi will cost you 200BHT and going back is 250BHT (I dunno why, it's just like that). Request for a Hotel transfer from the airport to the hotel will cost you 1,500BHT one way. The hotel has their own beachfront so it's soooooooo delightful! and no neighboring hotels so guests have the shores to themselves. The room is superb!!! My bf and I loved it!!! What you see on the online pictures are 100% true! It's soooo clean and safe! The staff are great although there was a problem with ordering food through room service as the staff cannot quite understand what im talking about but they will make it up by going to our room and we can pin point specifically what we want. The room has it's own toilet with a bathtub, toiletries, hot and cold shower, but no toothbrush and toothpaste so I suggest you bring your own. It has 2 pairs of room slippers and 2 pairs of sandals for outdoors. It also have 2 bathrobes, 2 room towels and 2 blue beach towels. All rooms have their own balcony with their own 2 seater set of table. The food was heavenly! I gained 1kg!!! We stayed for 6days/5nights and it was worth it!!! Will definitely go back there again..

Awsome hotel! You felt like a VIP. Cool rooms with both bathtub nd shower. You got your own bathrobe, slippers, umbrella and beachtowels (for boorowing). Close to the beach (on the beach), big pool and a small for kids. Far from the centre, you have to take a taxi or hoteltransfer to get there, to far to walk...and trust me.. I like to walk so it's far. Very kind and helpful staff that helped us with all our weird questions. The hotel restaurant is the only restaurant around and it was pretty expensive (compared to the prices in the centre).

perfect holiday at the KhaoLak Orchid Beach Resort
have just returned from a two week holiday at the Khao Lak Orchid Beach Resort. we have stayed at hotels all over the world but have to say this was one of the best we have ever stayed at. the main reason is the friendliness of the staff and owners. you will not find nicer people anywhwere. even though we were there for xmas, the hotel never felt crowded. at times we felt like we were the only people there. the grounds and rooms are beutifull and well maintained. the hotel is run by a local family, and the staff are also local. the hotel sits on its own very quiet private beach. the massage huts in the grounds offer a good variety of services, and an hours thai massage works out at about £6. the shuttle bus to the nearby small town is well run and easy to use. alternatively you can walk for about 40 mins down the beach to the town...if it is low tide as there is a small ankle deep river to cross. at high tide this is waist deep. the two nearby towns are low-rise and quiet. there are plenty of restraunts and bars, and a nice night market, but most people seem to be back at their hotels and in bed by 10pm. all in all a great place for a quiet holiday, and we thank the people of khao lak for their smiles, friendliness and hospitality.

we were a little surprised to the location of this hotel but if your looking to get away from all the hustle and bustle life can throw at you you just have to try this hotel situated 100 klm from phukett and 3 klm from the main road of khoa lak it sure is a wonderous paradise. we had no problems at all getting around and the staff were only to friendly to help. it has a private beach and the resturant has 5 star dining. breakfast was a delight also with full american and trad thai dishes. the only real complaint was that the mattresses were as hard as rocks but the staff accomodated us by placing 2 softer materesses on our existing bed which made our stay much more enjoyable. overall our experience in this hotel was first rate.

Exactly as promised
Off the beaten track, this resort is a great get-away from crowds and commercialism in Phuket. Isolated from even the nearby town of Khao Lak, the hotel is on the Andaman Sea along an otherwise deserted long stretch of beach. Access to town is available by regularly scheduled group taxi, although the rate is fixed and high by Thai standards. Service in hotel is great. Staff is very pleasant. Restaurants are entirely fine although not fine dining experiences. Two pools were great. Hotel was happy to arrange excursions. No nightlife to speak of, but I would return right away to enjoy a beautiful escape back to nature.
