Just 80 kilometers north of Phuket, Khao Lak was essentially erased by the 2004 tsunami. But the town, and the tourist industry it relies on, has rebounded. It remains quieter than other coastal destinations, offering secluded beaches, tranquil nights and family-oriented activities. You want full moon parties and besotted nights? You’re out of luck. But if you’re looking for unparalleled scuba diving in the Similan Islands, you’ve hit the jackpot.

The Casacool Hotel is budget family hotel with luxury comfort. Each room is en-suite with air conditioning, free wifi and cable TV. Coffee and Tea is available in each room. we serve a choice of English style, continental or Thai breakfast which is included in the room price. Only five minutes walk from the beach and close to all amenities including bars, restaurants, dive centres and shopping.
Kai, who runs Casa Cool, is one of the kindest and warmest people we have ever met. We were down with a heatstroke during our stay (having had too much fun in Phuket previously ?) and Kai went out of her way to be there for us. Not only did she set up an appointment with a doctor, she drove us to and from the appointment as well. Given the states we were in, this was really appreciated. She always saw to it that we were heartily fed and had laundered clothes. She gave us suggestions for places to visit and also let us use a scooty to reach them. She coordinated with the bus driver for our onward journey, and even gave us snacks for the ride! Before coming to Khao Lak, we had read in another review that someone felt she was very motherly...we definitely second that having seen how much she looked after us while we were there. She refused to take any extra payment from our side when we wanted to express our gratitude for all that she did for us. She is one of those people who inspires you to be better person! Kai, we hope our paths cross again! :) The place is very cosy and the breakfast is amazing! There are a lot of food and massage options around We would definitely recommend Casacool for anyone visiting Khao Lak!

Clean and modern, basic but comfortable. Located in a back alley quite far from from the hustle still a 15min walking distance from it. Beach near by but there is quite big hotel construction site next to it so the beach is loud with all the machines working behind Your back. Hotel provides scooter rental so You can go to all other beaches... Boongalowes located around the pool might be a little noisy if kids run and play around or if people talk loud, but at night it usually bacome quiet. We've stayed there for a week and all other guests were rather not a pool-party-types :) So it was quiet and tranquil. We had a room on the building ground floor with the entrance from the garden around the corner from the pool (#13) so it was super quiet, probably same standard as in boongalow but also cheaper and still you have chairs and table outside and some private space. The room was comfy, everyday cleaned and serviced with water, towels and bedding. They do not serve breakfasts but every morning there was cofee (real cofee-machine:) and tea, toasts & jam and some fruits available for everyone. Chapeau bas for that - coffee was really great.

In March 2019 I spend about a week in total at Riverside Guesthouse. The heart of all is Apple, the owner. She gives the spirit to this little, simple but incredibly sweet and cozy guesthouse. It's central, it's clean and it's very good value for that price. And as mentionned: Apple is a excellent host, very happy and friendly, helpfull and always there for a chat or a good laugh. If you are not looking for a resort and a place right at the beach - that's the place to go. Ronny, Switzerland

Weitläufige Anlage, abseits des touristischen Trubels. Ein fahrbarer Untersatz ist unabdingbar, Rollerverleih ist über die Rezeption möglich. Der kleine Aufpreis für die Zimmer mit Poolacces lohnt auf jeden Fall. Sauberkeit der Zimmer und Roomservice ist einwandfrei. Frühstück ist überschaubar aber okay, Kaffee, Eierstation, Obst und Cornflakes sowie Toastbrot werden angeboten. Englischkenntnisse sind beim Personal nur teilweise vorhanden, Freundlichkeit ist eher neutral. Strände und Restaurants sind in etwa 15 Minuten mit dem Roller erreichbar. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist, im Gegensatz zu den Massentourismus-Hotels in Bang Niang und Co, hervorragend.

I stayed here one night on my 2022 north-south road trip. Actually, it was on my second visit to Khao Lak on this journey and I chose this particular area as it is currently the best location for dining and drinking. As far as I can tell, there are only a handful of budget guest houses open in the area and this is probably the best option. The room and bathroom were large, comfortable and very clean. The hot water shower had excellent water pressure, the air conditioning, and refrigerator worked just fine. The linen, bedding, etc. were in good condition. The gals that run the guest house and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. At a walk-in rate of 700 THB, I would recommend this property and stay here again for sure.

All the reviews seem to be quite old. When I stayed here ( March 2020 ) I found the room fabulous,and very clean, The fridge was supplied with 2 bottles of water every day, my only criticism would be there was no safe in the room I was only 10 yards from my room to the large infinity pool which I had to myself most days. The Staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. A special thanks goes to Dal who organised breakfast each day, a very polite and hardworking guy. The Hotel was set back off the main drag and therefore no road noise, yet close enough to all the restaurants and bars. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I am going to book for 2021. Thank you to Dee and all her hardworking staff, and see you all in 2021.
