The Haven Khao Lak - SHA Extra Plus

We had as an couple an excellent and very friendly stay at the Haven Khao Lak. Hotel itself is beautiful and the general feeling was very peaceful and there was this sense of serenity. Pool is excellent, very large and you definitely can do long distance swimming practice there if you want. Pool was clean also. Enjoyed it a lot. Room was beautiful and good quality. Beds gave us lovely sleeps. Air-conditioning works very well and you can adjust it how you like. We didn't hear any noises from other rooms, it was peaceful and nice. Gym was good. Hotel activities were excellent and fun, highly recommend having them, you can get to know with other hotel visitors that way also if you want. Breakfast was well made, coffee is served to the table. Service excellent! I liked this restaurant a lot, food had very good taste. Thanks to the chefs. We actually visited this hotel's restaurant quite often while staying in the hotel, excellent surroundings and service again. You also get free ride to certain restaurant from the hotel if you want to visit other places also. There are also few other places to eat 500m walk from the hotel. We didn't go to them but heard that those are good options also. One of the best things is the beach, it's so peaceful and quiet, there is in front of the hotel on the beach some benches and hammocks and swings, think about watching the sunset there without any restaurant buzzing or other things, just peace and a painting that slowly changes, light breeze and ocean making it's sounds. You can rent a scooter from the hotel like we did, no problems, easy and quiet drive to the main road. There are some rental firms at Khao Lak that also deliver scooter to the hotel for little price if you like that option. Good secure parking for the scooter. The staff deserves extra mention as they were very friendly and helpful, if we had any problems they were very willingly to help us out.

Excellent hotel. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, the bathroom was also very clean. Eveything you needed was provided free of cost - beach towels, beach mat, beach bag, drinking water, sandals etc. Breakfast was as great, fresh eggs made as you like and lots of sweet and savoury options and barista style coffee! The pool for the rooms and the main pool were kept clean and bug free. The evening restaurant food was lovely with a range of options, the Thai food was delicious but there were also more western options. The staff were fantastic - specifically a gentleman name William (a member of the bar staff) was exceptionally friendly and made our stay. Free shuttle bus that took you into the centre or to the market was really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough!

The property was on the beach with good access to the water. The stuff was wonderful, very helpful and kind, friendly and the service was outstanding. The rooms and facility was clean, and offered many little extras. Bikes and Motor scooters were avail to rent which was nice. The location was good, access to 7Eleven, pharmacy and restaurants / bars. Tours were also available to book from the hotel making it easy to organize and plan excursions. The pools were very nice, accessible and clean.

Breakfast is great, many varieties and fresh. Freshly made coffee, made to order coffee and eggs dishes. Very big/long pool with a beautiful view of the long sea shore. Many sunbeds for everyone. The resort is for adults only so it's not noisy at all. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. A lot of them are not Thai, neither are the guests. There are many free activities for guests such as yoga, tai-chi, pilates, water polo, thai boxing, and many more. I joined a water aerobic dance. It was enjoyable. We stayed 5 days there and were sad to leave. Between 4-5 pm there is happy hour time at pool bar. The bed is very big and comfy and the room has all amenities we need, though the mini fridge is not cold enough so my fruits went bad not even 2 days later.

The hotel is amazing! Everything was great - from the biggest swimming pool to Thai language classes, offered to guests. I liked pool the most - 300 m of clean and warm water :) The food was great both for breakfast and for dinner, with local and European options for every taste and huge choice of cocktails and mocktails. We had the dinner at the beach for St Valentine's day, and the arrangement was terrific - flowers, Chinese lanterns, music, 7-course meal, sparkling vine, etc. Spa treatments are a bit pricey, but of very high quality. Entertainment is very diverse - yoga, pilates, thai box, thai stretching, language classes, batik classes, and many more. The personnel was very helpful at all times.
