Jimmy is amazing! We have just returned home from a family holiday and Jimmy took care to arrange all of our trips and dinner reservations! He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience whilst we were in Khao Lak, even though we stayed next door at The Little Shore, sister hotel to The Sands. Thanks so much Jimmy for everything! We had such a fantastic trip 🙏🏻

Beautiful hotel

10.0

This hotel was amazing, it was set in lovely spacious lush grounds. There was a relaxed atmosphere and everyone was very friendly. We booked this holiday last minute, but had the nice suprise that it was a swim up room. The photos online do not do this hotel justice, its simple beautiful. Great location too, just a short walk up to main area, so lots of shops and restaurants.

Great place for couples but also great for families

10.0

Great location: on the beach and within walking distance to many good restaurants and bars. Friendly staff. Adults-only breakfast for couples and family breakfast for families in separate buildings. Enough seating for everyone. People can come down after breakfast and still get good seats. Water park for kids and adults-only pool as well as other pools.

Romantic Setting

10.0

You must try the candlelight meal on the beach. We had an amazing experience. From the moment we sat down we were treated like royalty by our wonderful Waitress AI. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal or setting. Definitely recommend as overlooking the beach and sunset was spectacular

Lovely stay at a beautiful hotel

10.0

Beautiful modern hotel part of a complex, with 2 other sister hotels, lies right on the beach. Although it’s a family hotel with busy small water park, it offers adult only areas, such as pool and breakfast. Our rooms were overlooking a small lagoon reservoir with some wildlife you can watch and admire. The buffet restaurant offers variety of food for every taste, with live cooking options. Talai restaurant didnt not impress us. Both restaurants were quite pricy unless you’re on HB or all inclusive. The rooms are cleaned daily, and you can order any missing amenities via the hotel app. We had a lovely warm welcome by Rose. Special thanks to Heart and Shuka for the special touches celebrating our birthdays. You must not miss the duo singers, I could have listened to them for hours, so talented. We left the hotel fairly early in the morning and they kindly offered a packed breakfast to go.

Endless fun but in need of a refresh

8.0

Our kids had endless fun at the water park. I want to truly thank the staff of Talay restaurant for their knowledge of gluten allergy- truly five star service and made my vacation stress free. The New Year celebration was really fun and fantastic food. I will only give 4 stars as we thought the buffet offer was very limited and the hotel generally needs a full renovation. (Older hotel built after tsunami). Might be back if it gets a revamp.
