Khaolak Orchid Beach Resort

Property was value plus. The rooms were big and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The beds were a little bit hard for us. Breakfast was more than adequate and was included in the tarrif. The position was a little isolated but suited us. Plenty of restaurants nearby. An enjoyable stay.

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.

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.

Excellent hotel for R&R restaurants and massage selection stone's throw. Only issues we had was it hot water randomly stopping and starting, air con in one of the bedrooms ran super cold regardless of setting and mosquitoes - all just small things, we still really enjoyed our stay!

This was our third stay at the Orchid Beach and as always the resort, staff and overall experience was first class. We will be back for our fourth visit.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

Lovely hotel, really nice feel about the place, very colonial a little bit worn but I think it adds to the beauty of it. Very friendly staff

Lovely staff, perfect hotel right by the beach. Beautiful area, would recommend

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.

Been travelling for 9 weeks was nice to have a bit of luxury. Clean friendly quiet . Good breakfast nice size room. Pool area very nice.

Great location, friendly staff and good breakfast! The room had a great view and the pool was perfect. Big room, well done and excellent bathroom.

definitely worth a look, great beach , great pool, very very peaceful, plenty of restaurants within walking distance. town is only a short walk along the beach away. loved our time there.

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.

Great quiet location close to Khao Lak Centre by car or bike

Great staff ..... Excursions close buy specifically Surin Islands .... A must do ..... See the Sea Gypsies Village and great snorkeling.

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.
