The best hotel in Khao Lak”

This hotel is no doubt the best in Khao Lak! The hotel is new and rooms is very big and of a high standard. The location of the hotel is also perfect if you are seeking peace and tranquility. The hotel is located with no hotels or restaurants near by so the scenery is very quite. The hotel lies directly by the beach. So the breakfast is eaten while looking at the beautiful sea. The breakfast by the way is also very good and the service is also high. Rent a scooter and you can drive 4 min to the nearest local marked ( be sure to buy all your food and fruit her, very cheap compared to Khao Lak) and 7/11. Drive 10 min and you are in Khao Lak Centrum We went around on the scooter looking at all the other resorts and hotels in Khao Lak and one thing was sure: The Andamania Beach Resort was the best in all the area. We would with out doubt stay her again! This hotel has our strongest recommendations

Great location on Khuk Kak beach”

i booked the andamania beach resort because it was right on the beach and very close to my budget . we checked in late one night and found that we had been upgraded to a suite :) the rooms and bathrooms were extremely spacious and the beds were huge double beds. some basic touches like more hooks in the bathroom, a tea and coffee service and more hotel/khao lak information in the room would have made things even better. the staff were perhaps not as polished as at a marriott but their smiles were genuine and their attitude friendly and helpful. the breakfast was adequate but given that the guests were almost all european, the idea of an extensive thai breakfast buffet was a bit lost. also the hotel could provide a shuttle service to khao lak centre (7 kms away) which would make travel into town very convenient. overall we enjoyed our experience very much and would recommend it to others as being great value for money.

Fantastic Resort”

We were on our honeymoon and decided to goto Khao-lak for a thai friend of mine had recommended the serene environment and diving sites here. I must admit we were not disappointed at all. If you are looking for a calm and a slow lifestyle, khao-lak's the place to be. It was a little hard to find Andamania at first and our first reaction was that the hotel looked deserted but then eventually we found out that its a small private resort but was almost running to full capacity. The resort will not give you an impression that you are in a corportate chain but rather provides a homely environment instead. The resort is on a secluded part of the beach and the beaches are clean and nice. We'd booked a Jacuzzi room and were completely impressed by the bathroom and the room as well. These guys have massive bedrooms all carved out of wood and the bathrooms are tastefully constructed as well. I would definitely recommend this place for sure. Only downside being if you wanna goto khao-lak, they charge 90 Baht a person (one way) and there's no free shuttle. Khao lak town is kinda far away and you do need some sort of transportation to move in and out of this resort.

Great quiet ocean front hotel”

We have been living in Taipei, 7 million people, so we wanted a very quiet, peacful place and this was it. The room was very spacious and we were even given a free upgrade (best veiw on the whole property) becasue the resort forgot to pick us up at the airport. Everything worked out and another hotel at the airport called our hotel and made transportation arrangments for us. The Hotel is still being updated due to the 2006 sunami but it was still very nice. The rooms were a little dated, but for the price it was not a problem. Everything had a slight rustic, layed back feel and we enjoyed that much better than a fancy, uptight feel. The resort is small and most of the guests were around retirment age, so if you are looking for a party scein, this is not the place for you. The resort charges about $200bht to taxi you into town and it is another $200 to get back. However, if you rent a scooter for $200 a day (24hours) you can drive your self all over the place. Much cheaper and easier. The beach was very quiet and the water was so calm you could wade out and swim around very easily. However, if you are looking for white sand, you will have to go to one of the Islands. We took the Samilian Island tour and it was gorgious!! You do have to take a rather rough speed boat ride that lasts about 1 hour each way, but for us, it was totally worth it. The Andamania made all the arrangments for us and the price was less than what some of the tour booths were trying to sell it to us for. Expect about $2,000Bht per person. We loved our stay at the Andamania and would stay again if we ever have the chance.

Great atmosphere at this hotel”

We stayed at three different hotels during our holiday in Khao Lak, Thailand. My wife and I felt that the Andamania Beach Resort was the best value of all three locations. The staff were friendly, helpful and made our stay very pleasant. We used the swimming pool every day and think it is terrific. We made a side trip to the Chong Fa waterfalls ... did a little hiking to see all five waterfalls and enjoyed it tremendously. Our room at the Andamania was spacious, comfortable and good value. The breakfasts were well-prepared, and dinners at the restaurant were very enjoyable. It is a little remote from the highway .... with no other stores or restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect for relexation at the beach”

What we liked: - The room was really big and clean. - The bathroom had a good size and we always had hot water - We could see the ocean when we stood on our terrace and the pool was very close to our room - the Entertainment at new years eve was really nice - the other guests were mixed concerning Age and nationality (many People from Germany, Scandinavia, Austria) - we liked it - you could always get a sunbed directly at the beach even if you showed up a little later - the variety of breakfast buffet was ok (pancakes, omeletts, fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereals), we only missed cheese (which is hard to get in Thailand) - the size of the pool was ok - there were about 6-8 Restaurants directly at the beach in a walking distance of about 2-10 minutes - there is an Office of Sea Bees Diving at the Marriott (which is next to the Andamania) which is very convenient if you wanna dive (we can highly recommend see beas diving) What we didn´t like - It actually costs about 10€ to take a taxi to the City Center of Khao Lak (both ways) - They weren´t able to fix the toilet and safe properly so we had to call the reception several times

We loved this place! ”

Even though it's not in the heart of downtown Khao Lak, we loved the sense of privacy in Andamania. We got a jacuzzi deluxe room - the rooms were huge, lightings were cosy, deck chairs on balcony the perfect way to gaze into the sky and sea. The hotel staff were quite friendly, the beach is clean and quiet. Transport to city was pretty costly to us though (each person 100 baht), considering that we rented our motorbike at 200baht per day. Resort doesnt have rental of motorbikes. So u'll need a taxi ride out to bang niang market to find one. If you prefer seclusion for a quiet holiday, this is an affordable and great choice. We really loved Khao Lak for its laid-back beaches, great people..yet have variety of activities around the place to try out. Will definitely be back!

Private affordable getaway”

the hotel was simple in a well balance sense. not 5 stars but has a hospitality feel of cozy home with enough luxury to feel welcome and special. staff are cordial and ready to please but at the same time keep their perfect distance for us to feel private. love the landscape work of the gardeners up keeping. very nice pool that is not freezing cold and beautifully shaped to fit the aesthetic. great breakfast that is simple and efficient that is included in our room charge. we want andamania to be successful and remains true to its charm. highly recommend for a great serene simple getaway. khao lak is so beautiful even after she was so devastated by that horrifying tsunami years back.we pray for the well beings of all people and businesses there.

Very nice place at the Beach. ”

We really enjoyed our stay. It made for a great 7 day loop from Nai Yang Beach to Khao Lok to Khao Sok and back to Phuket Airport. We loved the scuba diving at Similan Islands that I got to do again and my wife got to try for the first time. We also got to learn to cook thai food after taking lessons at a nearby place. Andamania was a great location, on a beautiful beach, off a fun dirt road, and set up like a resort anywhere in the Caribbean. The architecture of the front area was very nice.

Andamania Resort Khao Lak”

We were very pleased with the Andamania over all: Previous Agoda reviews were accurate and promised good accommodation with hit and miss service. Andamania is to the North of Khao Lak- this means that the coast is less spoilt and there are fewer developments. We scouted along the coast and decoded this was one of the best stretches of beach. Don't expect much nightlife near-by, but walk up the beach to the right and there are a few local bars/ restaurants selling excellent food. Wouldn't recommend the Andamania dinners- very poor "frozen" pizza was £3, and Thai dish was bland and oily. The specialist BBQ night left me with an expensive seafood kebab containing one squid piece, one prawn, one small piece of fish. The only lunch/ evening success was the Andamania Burger, which was very nice. Breakfast is the best meal of the day- well stocked fruit and six salvers of Thai and European food. Varies daily, as does the service on the egg counter. The staff in general are disinterested. The bar tender smelt heavily of drink on the first day, and I suspect that is where the Bacardi went out of the beach cocktails. Somehow the Bacardi Specials don't actually have Bacardi in them unless you pay 200 Baht extra- still haven't figured that one out.. There seems to be a limited number of sunbeds on the beach, but they weren't hogged all day. There are more by the pool, which appeared under used. If you are looking for a good beach holiday at a cheap hotel with well appointed rooms then this will suit you. The maid service is much superior to the waiting staff, and the superior rooms have good showers and jacuzzi. Warm friendly sea, nice landscaped gardens, uncrowded pool; if you are prepared to walk a few hundred yards along the beach for cheap beer and nice evening food you will broaden the appeal of this hotel.

Nice and quiet with great service ”

we stayed in the andamania for 2 nights. we were really surprised about this hidden gem since we did not expect the hotel to be this amazing judging by what we first saw the way to get to the place. the staff(front-desk) and the owner himself were very helpful,the room was spacious with big tub, the bed looked nice and clean. the general areas have enough light at night, the beach is beautiful and quiet...our whole experience with the andamania was delightful- we will surely be your guests again!

Peaceful and Charming”

Staff were attentive and responsive. Location was perfect for us and the room was very comfortable - great value for money. The pool was great and we enjoyed lounging on the beach, at the pool and on our deck. There is are some other places to eat and hang out just down the beach past the Marriot but the food wasn't quite as good as at Andamania. If you walk the other direction down the beach you can find some really nice, tasty restaurants with much lower priced menus.

Peaceful and beautiful escape”

We booked just two days in Khao Lak, travelled up from Phuket by scooter and were pleasantly surprised by the lush gardens that took us to our private bungalow. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, and spacious. The location was remote so had to travel a bit to explore but all we needed was at the hotel. Peaceful and natural beachfront with clean waters to enjoy. Big compliments to the guys at the bar for their service and dj skills. Food on the beach was delicious with a good choice. Would recommend this place just watch out for the mosquitos :)

Quiet retreat”

This hotel is a little off the main road (down the same side road as Khao Lak Orchid) but is worth finding. We had a rental car so we were able to get around withouit problem, but if you didn't have transport and were staying here, you'd need to use taxis to visit the town. The resort is very new, very large rooms, all very tastefully furnished. Good food in the restaurant overlooking the beach and the sea. Tghis resort is almost alone on its stretch of beach - the neioghbouring resorts are several hundred metres away in either direction.

superb!”

We have just returned from 10 days at the Andamania and were delighted with the accommodations, the rooms and grounds. The food was delicious and varied, breakfast good too. Even the Pizza! And what a treat to eat while watching the sun set over the Andaman Sea. The staff were all friendly and most helpful. We were there to relax, so the secluded beach and reasonable distance from town was what we wanted. By renting a motor-scooter we visited sites in the area at will, and our day tours were efficiently planned by the staff. We were thrilled with our activities and will consider returning. Since it was low season there was a problem not having the satellite TV and room internet functioning as expected. There were also a few menu items not available.

Right on the beach with large clean rooms”

This was our second stay. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable (the cot - "extra bed" - was less so). Wi-fi in the room was adequate although the signal was weak. Breakfast is a buffet with limited options but we found it sufficient (they will make an omelette to order). Overpriced if you must pay for children and all they eat is cereal. The restaurant (and bar) is on the beach. Food is reasonably priced generally adequate. The hotel is on the beach just down from the JW Marriott Khao Lak (same beach). It is quiet. The pool is pleasant although they used a coarse cement on the steps that is rough on the feet and in need of repair. It has a small area suitable for small children (with adult supervision). Town is not very distant and a shuttle service is listed for a small fee (we never used it). Transport to the airport can be arranged and is reasonably priced. We were disappointed with the extra bed (a simple cot) and the breakfast for the kids for the extra charge total matched about 1 night stay (we only stayed two nights). Because of this we are tempted to submit a lower rating. On the other hand, if this had not been the case our rating would be a bit higher.

Nice, quiet and lovely staff”

we really enjoyed our stay at andamania and the tours we took. very relaxing surrondings, nice guests and very friendly personnel. the location of the hotel was perfect for us, still close to the next villages if you wanted more of a nightlife. is was an adventure to go to the nationalparks and the similan islands were fantastic. still the beach at the hotel was very, very nice as well. thanks!

Beach hotel offering great value for money”

We visited 3 different hotels around Khao Lak and this was our favourite even though it was the cheapest. If we traveled to Khao Lak ever again, we would definitely choose this hotel. There was nothing we did not like, if you can live with the remote location. The room was very nice and quiet. We liked the food and drinks the restaurant offered.

Just a Paradise”
