Moracea by Khao Lak Resort

Gorgeous room (Hibiscus Deluxe) and view, with excellent staff and an outstanding buffet breakfast that caters very well to vegetarians. The waterfront setting is stunning (though the sea is not really swimable during the rainy season) and the maintenance of the property is outstanding. Note that the hotel is a few hundred metres from the town (and a couple of kilometres from the night market), so it helps to have a car rental or use the local taxis - it's simply too hot to walk. Overall, highly recommended!

Morocea was a last-minute switch for us, and I am so happy that we did. We had a wonderful week, it was low season so the place was quiet and peaceful, and the price was amazing! The property itself is in a lush tropical setting and feels very Thai compared to the modern minimalist hotels you see now. Right on the beach for beautiful views at breakfast and from the pools. We had a deluxe hibiscus room, and it was so nice, we really enjoyed the extra-large bath and the window seating area. Breakfast was also very good, and no complaints about the cocktails or food at the restaurant when we dined there. We did eat lunch and dinner out of the resort most days, and there are some good selections within a 10-minute walk from the resort. The main area with the night market etc will require a taxi transport to get there, but there was always someone waiting to take you, so it was very easily arranged, and prices are set so roughly $20AUD there and back for a trip. My only warning will be that our room was at the top of the hill so sometimes it did feel like quite a trek to get to your room. But they do offer golf cart buggy service to get you around if you need. They were usually pretty quick to come pick you up. Not a deal breaker for us, we are younger and mostly fit, but just be aware if you have mobility issues, you will be better off booking a room that is closer to the beach.

Beautiful resort built on hilly terrain. Wear hiking shoes

Great hotel exactly what we needed . Pure chill in a gorgeous setting . The beach and ocean on this little stretch is the best . Dinner at the andalay sitting with the sand in your toes and the sea breeze to cool us each night was the icing on the cake .

My favourite hotel in Khao lak - stunning grounds and the staff go the extra mile. Bedrooms are spacious, sunsets are to die for and the location is perfect. Not overcrowded the perfect place to enjoy the perfect holiday

We had a truly wonderful stay at Moracea Resort and are already looking forward to returning. We traveled with our three-year-old, and while there weren’t many young children at the resort, we consistently felt welcomed. Every staff member we encountered was kind and accommodating, which made a big difference for our family. The service was exceptional throughout our stay. The team went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable, and a special thank you to Nat and his team for their attentiveness and warmth. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly (a must in the heat), the beds were great, and the daily housekeeping kept everything feeling fresh and relaxing. The breakfast buffet was outstanding—easily one of the best we’ve experienced. There was an incredible variety of options, all fresh, well-prepared, and consistently replenished. The pool and beach areas were equally fantastic. Many guests have private pool villas, which meant the main pool was never crowded and easy to enjoy, especially with a toddler. The baby pool was a thoughtful and much-appreciated addition. We also attended one of the resort’s special buffet celebration nights, which we highly recommend. The food was excellent, and the live entertainment—including fire dancers, music, and traditional performances—made for a memorable evening. Overall, this was a relaxing, family-friendly trip!

We stayed in the deluxe bungalow overlooking the beach. It was quiet and perfect for our stay. Breakfast was varied with great options. There were so many pools to swim in but the beach was perfect with warm temperatures. I cannot fault the Moraceo it was perfect for couples solo travelers and families. Nicely spread out.

This hotel is a very nice resort hotel. Very big! You must know you will walk a whole lot in the hotel. I had a twisted ankle and had to use their free shuttle service a lot so that’s a huge plus. The food is great and staff is too. Would recommend to anyone that wants that resort vacation you won’t have to leave your hotel much from. Also Phang Na is a very calm town. If you’re looking to escape the crowds definitely book this hotel.

Room choice not to our liking. Near main road at top of hill and a little noisy. Evening dining options very limited, main restaurant unappealing. Resort somewhat crammed with different room types and lots of trees, so limited areas for sunbathing. Usual early morning flurry to reserve the best sunbeds, even though signs up saying not to. At the price point, we've stayed in better hotels around Khao Lak.

Our room was spacious and spotless. We booked a pool access room, it was lovely to be able to swim directly from our balcony. The resort is on a steep hill and access to the rooms is via steps so this resort may not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. The grounds are immaculate and the beach is fabulous, probably the best stretch of the beach is right in front of the resort. The only negatives are the reserving of sunbeds. There are signs to say reserving of sunbeds is not permitted and towels will be removed. This does not deter people and the towels are not removed so if you like a lie in you will likely struggle to get a bed near the beach. Mosquitoes are quite a big problem. I got more bites in 4 hours than I did in 6 days in practically jungle accommodation prior to staying at Moracea. Plantpots full of stagnant water are a breeding ground for mosquitoes and you can see them in all stages of their growth. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Khao Lak is a strange resort. The shops and restaurants etc are either side of 6 lanes of traffic. There is a great night market not far away and 200 thbt will get you there from the hotel

Amazing staff with clean rooms and services. Taxi service around the hotel, so you don't have to walk up the steep hills.

Quiet tropical setting, we had an amazing ocean view. Was an excellent experience will return to enjoy the dry season 🙏

We stayed in a beachfront bungalow. Amazing. We were made to feel special from the very beginning. Check-in was fast, and the room was spectacular. Big bathroom with big shower and bath. Nicely decorated and 20m from the water. Comfy bed, good food options or take a 100 Tuk tuk to town where there’s plenty of dining options.

I didn’t overly commit much more to food than breakfast but from what I experienced the breakfast service was brilliant. Plenty of options and the service was great. Internet great, service all over the resort. Quite hilly in areas which would pose a slight problem if less mobile but saying that I’m pretty sure the resort offers buggy service. The resort itself is lovely, so natural with lots of trees, palms and greenery. Direct beach access, 4 pools to pick from. The rooms are really nicely decorated, very comfortable and adequately air conditioned. In terms of access to the main part of town, 10-15 minute walk and you arrive into one of the main parts of Khao Lak. Plenty of shopping and restaurants. I would without hesitation stay here again. Thank you very much Moracea Resort.

Originally only going to stay 2 nights, but ended up staying 7 nights. Didn’t like the hills up and down, I think it’s around 33 hectares. Breakfast was ok could have had a lot more selection. Room was nice with mosquito nets to keep them out at night.

It was close and easy to get around

The Moracea Hotel is like no other in Khao lak,its set on a stunning beach with a beautiful collection of pools. The staff are the best ive ever known anywhere in the world as they ensure you are having a great experience and always have time for a chat .This hotel stands out amongst the rest ,There arent any negatives whatsoever and we will definately be back .Thankyou for making our stay so special Moracea

Amazing...staying right at the beachfront

Sensational resort, amazing beaches, felt small and quiet but was quite large. Close walk to small town with loads of eating options, near to a small jungle Hike to the most perfect small beach. Rooms great, staff great. The only small downside is the main restaurant, a few dining options would have been nice on an evening but a £4 tuk tuk takes you to some great eateries. I’d return in an heartbeat and I’ve been to Thailand a good few times and this is one of the best hotels you could stay in. Loads of lizards around, and water monitors, they leave you alone but all adds to the vibe
