The Little Shore Khao Lak by Katathani

Resort was nice. Private pools not very private unless in a villa. Beach very rocky.

Beachfront location. About a 10min walk to the shopping area but hotel provides frew buggy transport. Bit expensive to eat and drink in the hotel compared to local restaurants/bars. Hotel room well stocked with toiletries, hairdryer, coffee machine etc and minibar (but only the water free). Staff are fantastic especially Wallie and Tea. Quieter area of Khao Lak compared to the Bang Niang area but only a short taxi/tuk tuk ride away.

This property’s prime location right on the beach, with private beach access, is undoubtedly its biggest draw. The amenities, including a gym and a kids’ room, are excellent and add to the overall appeal. However, the rooms are quite small for the price you pay, which is disappointing. We booked the Sea View Pool Suite, expecting a premium experience. Initially, we were given a suite on the second floor, located in the middle of the property, directly opposite the main pool and gym. The constant foot traffic meant our private pool didn’t feel private at all. After raising the issue, we were moved to a better room the following day, with improved views and much more privacy, which made a big difference. However, even this suite felt cramped for the price. Room service was another disappointment—waiting 30-45 minutes for a couple of plates is far too long for a property of this standard. Overall, if beach proximity and private beach access are your top priorities, this property delivers. But considering the small rooms, delayed service, and price point, there are likely better alternatives to explore.

It was great.

Awesome luxury resort on the beach. Super good service and good restaurants close by

This place is amazing, great service, beautiful gardens and pools and a great location. Easy walking distance to shops and dining. Friendly staff. Nothing to fault and highly recommended.

From arriving to leaving everything runs like clockwork. Very clean and quiet. Staff are friendly and professional. Being able to use neighbouring hotel facilities like water slides and pools is fantastic.

Modern hotel with very high standards of service and quality. The staff were exceptional and really made the stay most rewarding and truly memorable. Thank-you kindly.

What a beautiful resort!!! From the minute we arrived at the property, we were amazed by the entrance, facilities, and pool. The setting is so relaxing and view of the sunset is just wonderful. Most notably, the staff is excellent and made us feel so welcome. The resort has everything you need with several nice restaurants with lots of food options. I especially enjoyed the breakfast with fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, and Thai options such as Pad See Ew. They also had a nice selections of premium cold cuts and cheese as well as chia and rice pudding which were delicious. For drinks, we enjoyed fresh squeezed cold press juice and lattes. The pools are spectacular and so close to the beach and ocean and best of all a swim-up pool bar! Most resorts around Khao Lak tend to be a little hot but the Little Shore has a great ocean breeze due to being a beach front property so we could just lounge all day and listen to the waves crash against the beach. The property also has a really nice 24 hour gym with all the equipment you need and separate rooms for yoga and boxing. Lastly, the rooms were very luxurious and spacious. It's equipped with bluetooth and ordering room service from the app was very easy and convenient. My daughter and I had a great time playing the in our private pool and we had an amazing view of the ocean. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and a great option for an upscale experience in Khao Lak. We will definitely be back!

The Little Shore Hotel is truly magnificent, embodying everything a 5-star resort should offer. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "hassle-free." From the moment you enter, the bell boys—Nescafé, Tom, Jerry, and Title, greet you warmly, take your bags, transport you to reception, and escort you to your room, all with a smile. There are absolutely no problems for them. Everyone here is so accommodating that your vacation feels like a utopian world where everything works together seamlessly. The reception staff—Selena, Patty, Jit, and the entire team—are exceptional and accommodating. Now, the rooms—Oh My God! We stayed in the sea view villas and were in awe every time we opened our doors. The view of the pool, cabana, and sea was an absolute pleasure, and we wished we could have extended our stay. Breakfast is heavenly. We didn't have lunch, but dinner at the Thai restaurant Parmam Para takes you through history and myth with flavors that represent historical times. If I can give you any advice, it is: "Just go ahead and book." You will be happy you did.

If I could permanently live at Little Shore I would! The property is brand new and we stayed in a villa during their soft opening, so there was still construction going on. Because it is a new property there are still some minor kinks to work out, but the service is absolutely immaculate! The A/C in our bathroom had very poor air flow, so it was a bit warm at times. They offered to move us to a different room, but it wasn't that big of a deal to us so we declined. They placed a portable A/C unit in the bathroom to use and sent us a delicious exotic fruit bowl and a beautiful bouquet of flowers for our room. The staff across the entire hotel is exceptional. They remembered our names, the egg chef remembered my omelet order, they greeted us at every turn and overall made us feel very warm and welcomed. By far this is one of the best hotels I have patroned and we would love to come back and visit again!

Very new hotel just opened this April. We impressed by the stunning view in our room. Every room has its own private pool. Very comfortable bed. I also love the breakfast line, they offered variuos of cuisine and it is delicious. Staff are well trained. Service was superb!! Location is right on the beautiful beach.

My family stayed several days and suffice it to say NOBODY wanted to go home. Service: 5 stars - Super friendly, attentive, staff who speak English relatively well. Tom & Jerry (bellmen/golf cart drivers), Popeye (hotel manager?), Kookkai (our server / restaurant manager?) made our stay especially fun and memorable. Cleanliness: 5 stars - New resort + meticulous cleaning staff = WIN Breakfast: 5 stars - Coffee bar and cold-pressed juice station with drinks made-to-order, eggs cooked any which way, a good selection of cut fruit, authentic Thai food cooked in small batches. I’m not a morning person, but I certainly looked forward to waking up every morning here. Kids Club: 5 stars - We used the kids club at The Sands (sister resort next door). They have something for all age groups - ball pit, little cars to ride around, slides, movie room, dance classes. And there’s always staff on duty. You can drop off your kids (ages 4+) and go have a drink/massage/swim. The Bar has been raised in Khao Lak thanks to The Little Shore.

Very nice clean hotel. All the staff are very nice and friendly. Good service, recommended for anyone who would like to relaxing peaceful.

The room is so nice! Comfortable, large, and especially with a private pool. Breakfast is great and tasty. I really enjoyed the swimming pool next to the beach. It's a perfect location, just a 60-minute drive from Phuket and of course, this hotel is on my list for the next vacation.

We feel so lucky that we found this little gem in Khao Lak. It offers both suites and villas, and is spacious and beachfront. The overall setting is romantically beautiful. We especially love the pool villas with the direct access to the main pool. The sun loungers are perfect for sunbathing, and we appreciate the in-room breakfast with its wide selection, from healthy to hearty options. We absolutely love this place and would definitely come back for sure.
