Khaolak Bhandari Resort & Spa

Some places are beautiful, but it’s the people who make you fall in love with them. And this hotel is exactly that kind of place. Every morning, there’s a lovely gentleman at breakfast who greets you with the warmest “Good morning!” and somehow, just hearing him makes the whole world feel a little brighter. That’s how wonderful the people here are! The rooms are always spotless, the breakfast is absolutely amazing, and even the security staff look after you when you’re crossing a little road that barely has any traffic. It’s those small, thoughtful things that make such a difference. And nobody even minds when you sneak a little breakfast to the ginger cat! 🐈❤️ I also have to mention Suzy in the restaurant, who has been looking after me from the very first day. She is such a beautiful soul, always kind, caring and genuinely lovely. The sea is just a five-minute walk from my room, and right by the hotel you’ll find Amina, who can arrange the most wonderful excursions. But the best part of all? Every morning I actually look forward to leaving my room just to see these lovely people again. It’s not just a hotel. It’s a place full of warmth, kindness and people who make you feel truly welcome. Five stars for everything, but a million for the people. ❤️ Thank you for making my holiday so special!

Such a beautiful place to stay, service is outstanding, staff couldn't do enough for myself and my partner, shout out to Suzy in the Siam restaurant and Big Tree Bar, our glasses were never empty! Highly recommend a stay at the Bhandari resort and spa! Rooms and surroundings were very traditional Thai 👌🏻 superb!

Lovely, quiet and clean. Staff are wonderful and extremely friendly! Would definitely stay here again

We had such an amazing time at the Khao Lak bandari resort. It’s a beautiful hotel with an Indonesian style feel to it, built on ponds, containing all kinds of fish. A really pretty place. It has the family part in the Bandari and Oriental side, specifically for adults. So it’s good for all ages. The hotel has a few bars and a couple of restaurants, one of which is used for a buffet style breakfast. The food and drink is good quality and tasty. The prices are very reasonable, although wine being imported is quite expensive. The rooms are very spacious and well maintained by a great team of housekeepers. They also have several pools surrounding the entire hotel. You do occasionally see the odd lizard and local wildlife, which seem chilled and harmless (adds to the tranquility and atmosphere of this wonderful country). The hotel is in the heart of Khao Lak, near the McDonald’s and within walking distance to lots of different restaurants, souvenir shops and bars. It’s a couple of miles to the night market, which we loved! There’s also many places you can book excursions to within the town, which are affordable. You can visit surrounding islands, elephant sanctuary’s, Khao Sok national park and an hour drive to Phuket. We only booked bed and breakfast as there’s so much you can experience here and we didn’t spend full days in the hotel, although it’s so lovely to relax in. We did want give a special mention to Tong, Suzy, Honey, Bowling and Smelle, as they have all been wonderful for the 2 weeks we spent here. You truly contributed to making our first visit to Thailand a very memorable one. We’ll definitely be coming back soon ☺️
