The hotel has its perks, like great staff and a nice beach, but it falls short in terms of maintenance and noise levels. While my family enjoyed the resort's laid-back environment, the pool areas and room cleaning could use improvement. It’s a good option if you prioritize relaxation over activities, but just be prepared for some shortcomings.

The dining options were decent, with a varied breakfast buffet, but I found the bacon to be consistently overcooked. Still, the fresh fruit and Thai dishes were pleasurable.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly with stunning pools perfect for kids and a beautiful beach just a short ride away. The breakfast selection was impressive but could use some improvement in certain areas, like the bacon. However, the service was consistently warm and attentive, making our experience more enjoyable. Overall, a great choice for families looking to relax with great amenities and a lovely atmosphere.

The rooms were spacious and clean, located on the 4th floor with wonderful views of the pool area. I particularly appreciated how the room was divided into two sections, accommodating both a king bed and a fold-out bed for the kids.

Mai Khao Lak was a lovely resort where we enjoyed our honeymoon. The staff were notably helpful and welcoming, and we loved the spacious deluxe room with a great view of the pool area. The beach access was fantastic, and the variety at breakfast was impressive, especially for both Thai and European tastes. However, the dining experience at The Sky Restaurant could be improved, particularly the food presentation and preparation. Overall, it was a memorable trip, but some areas need enhancement for a more polished experience.

This resort is quite large and spacious, perfect for families, with excellent staff making the most out of the experience. The kids loved the various activities, and the pools were well-maintained and inviting. However, some areas felt a bit run down, and the dining options could use improvement, especially during the off-season. Overall, it's a nice place but has some areas that could benefit from better upkeep and dining variety.
