Avani+ Khao Lak Resort

It is a very nice hotel. The staff is supportive, helpful, and super-friendly. Mr AU is our favorite, taking care of guests very well and he seems to be everywhere at the same time; he is definitely very present. The hotel room is very clean, the AC could be a little bit more quiet, but we are all sleeping like babies at night feeling very safe here all the time. It is a very relaxing place, although lots of kids are around, mostly families. We love to lie down under the trees at the sea. The trees at the sea are one of the reasons why we picked the hotel. The hotel looks somewhat authentic with a beautiful garden.|We might consider coming back next year.

We had the Sunset Picnic Experience at Outrigger Resort in Khao Lak, and it was truly magical. The setting was beautifully arranged on the beach with a low table, soft cushions, a mattress, and gentle lights in the sand. Sitting there together, watching the sun slowly sink into the sea, felt incredibly romantic.||The food was outstanding. There was a generous amount and a beautiful selection, especially of seafood, all presented in a very elegant way. Everything tasted delicious. We enjoyed Aperol Spritz as well, which was nice and refreshing.||The service made the experience even more special. The staff were warm, attentive, and discreet. We had a personal host, Lin, who went above and beyond. She even took extra photos of us without us asking and sent them the next day, which was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly felt cared for throughout the evening.||A couple of small details could be improved: it would be nice if water was included in the experience, and a bit more privacy could be created by moving nearby sunbeds or adding some subtle screening. But these are minor things.||All in all, this was a perfect romantic experience. Five stars for the stunning surroundings, excellent food, wonderful personal service, the beautiful setup, and simply because my partner and I had such a special evening together. Highly recommended for couples.

I have been a month in Thailand, different locations, around 5 or 6 five star hotels, this is one has been my absolutely favourite. Location is fantastic! The beach is so beautiful, the facilities are top notch. It was very busy when I stayed but it didn't feel overcrowded. Staff was fantastic too. Close to the hotel there are so many little restaurants with great prices and good food. There are a few massage places near the beach that were so cheap but great quality. The only downside is the food in the hotel (in all hotels tbh) quantity is poor and prices are ridiculously high. But because of this hotel location, we had so many options. I'll come back for sure.

​We stayed here for 5 nights with our 2 children and it was absolutely perfect. Even though it was a last-minute decision, we couldn't be happier with our choice. ​Above all, the service was incredible. Julie at the front desk was exceptional - she made our stay so pleasant and truly exceeded all our expectations. ​The hotel is beautifully designed and well-maintained. We loved our room with the private pool, and the Kids Club was fantastic, offering great activities all day long. ​It was the perfect way to end our vacation. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the entire team!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The room suite was gorgeous—huge, beautifully laid out, and immaculately clean. Everything felt sophisticated and classy without being stuffy, from the interior design to the little details that made it feel special the moment we walked in. It was the kind of space where you instantly relax and think, "Okay, this is what a vacation should feel like."||The grounds were just as impressive. The landscaping was perfectly kept and stunning in every direction, and there were so many amenities that we honestly wish we had spent more time just enjoying the resort itself. It felt like a destination all on its own. Everywhere you turned there was something thoughtful, beautiful, or fun, and it never felt crowded or chaotic—just calm, polished, and inviting.||What really made it unforgettable, though, was how welcoming it was for our entire group. It was perfect for our family of four AND my grandmother, which isn’t always easy to find. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made us feel right at home. This kind of luxury is honestly hard to find anywhere else in the world, and it’s given us a reason to come back to Thailand—next time, we’ll absolutely make this resort our home base.

Pre Xmas @ Khao Lak - for 4 nights; easy access from airport about 50 minutes drive. Room was very good with comfy beds and bathroom and facilities (bring you own hair dryer though!). The resort was spacious and clean and service levels were excellent. Plenty of activities and pools. The breakfast was excellent; lots of choice and stayed open until 10.30am which was a plus. Family went on a trip snorkeling and easy access to that. Beach was clean. Overall - a highly recommended experience.

We had the best time here! Everyone at the hotel was so lovely and accomodating. Non at the beach restaurant was lovely and made friends with my son. Ta who works at the desk was also incredibly helpful. |My only suggestion is to have a breakfast in room dining menu as an option. |Lots of local beach restaurants and very accessible to town on local tuk tuks
