Sentido Khao Lak Resort

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hotel for 7 nights in the middle of December and over Christmas. We stayed in a bungalow facing the main pool and i absolutely loved the location as everything was close - breakfast area, the sea, and the pool. The only thing a bit further was towel exchange, we had to walk around the resort a bit to get there. The room had an independent A/C unit which is a huge compared to my experience with central A/C systems in other hotels. This hotel is perfect for a beach holiday. The sea is warm, the sand incredibly soft and the beach itself clean and gorgeous. Huge plus is that sunbeds in Thailand cannot be placed on the public beach, which means the view of the beach stretching out into the distance is undisturbed and gorgeous. The pool is big enough for all the guests as well but as Christmas got closer, it was obvious that the hotel was getting fuller. I did not register any sunbed reservations, there were always plenty of sunbeds by the pool but beachside sunbeds were pretty scarce and were available again around 3 pm. The resort is surprisingly quiet and peaceful, given its size. Breakfast around 9 was a crowded affair, if you're a morning person, arriving to breakfast earlier is definitely an advantage. Breakfast itself was great, the egg bar with freshly prepared eggs in particular. The variety was huge and I would be happy to breakfast there for two weeks as i feel i wouldn't get bored of the selection. For lunch and dinner, we ventured out of the resort to local restaurants, several are within walking distance. The hotel is cashless, you just sign a check and then can pay by card when you check out. The reception is very helpful. One day we arrived back to our room around 11 pm and the AC started dripping water. I called the reception and 15 minutes from the moment I raised the receiver, the AC was fixed and they even brought us fresh towels that we used to catch the flood that was leaking from the unit. When we were flying home, the flight was very late, just 10 minutes before midnight. That meant we spent the whole day at the hotel pool while we stored our luggage in their storage room and at 7pm, before we were set to leave, they loaned us towels so we could shower. In the lobby area there was a flavored water that we could drink while waiting for our taxi. If you don't like lizards, this place isn't for you. On the other hand, if you do, this is an amazing place to meet all kinds. We were lucky enough to see a big monitor lizard on his way to another part of the resort. I would definitely return again.

My wife and I have heard many good things about the Enoteca Restaurant. On Monday night at 6pm we thought we would try it for ourselves . We arrived to the restaurant on the shores of a beautiful beach . We were greeted warmly by Bum and Pin two lovely Thai hosts. We were seated and had a beautiful view of the sunset. We started with a nice cold Pina Colada and shared the Aromatic Duck wraps for our starter. My wife then was served her Panfried Sea Bass and Myself the Coconut Milk Braised Chicken with Pineapple Salsa. The Presntation,Quality and taste of all our the food was Superb, 5 star ***** We then received a llovely Tropical fruit platter which we enjoyed alongside a delicious Banana Split that they graciously organised for us. The level of service from Bum and Pin, and the food prepared by their Chefs was Superb! We had a lovely night for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back! Thank You. Peter and Michelle

Lovely staff and good food in a quiet part of Khaolak but with everything within either walking distance or grab a taxi they are very reasonable For those looking at AI be mindful not everything is included but there is enough for you or just go for the basics as there are plenty of nice places to eat including the hotel The hotel is on a lovely stretch of beach and they do put on some entertainment or you can go tot the spa so you do at much or little as you wish Would I go back ? I would say so as it was a pleasant experience

At this place you alreay feel at home at the gate. With a big smile and a warm hello of the security guard Tu you are welcomed to this nice place. The friendliness and happyness goes on at the reception which is ready to help any time, the different restaurants and bars the gardeners, room maids and housekeepers keeping everything nice and clean. Whenever you leave the place you can be sure that Tu will be there again to ensure everything is fine and you will return back as well as you left the place.

A good hotel; the staff member, Tu, was extremely friendly and helpful
