Beyond Khaolak

The room size is big and spacious , but the furniture was rather old , need to renovate . Service wise was good and the surrounding is tranquil.

We stayed at Beyond Khaolak 22-29 April 2025. We saw the TravelZoo deal and decided it was too good to pass up. My wife and I have traveled globally quite a bit and have stayed at many types of resorts and hotels from the Maldives to Hawaii and throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Our takeaways of Beyond Khaolak and things we liked about it was how relaxing and quiet it was, until nighttime. We stayed in a Premier Villa right next to the pool. Every night there was live music, not good music, at the Beach Bar. They played until 11pm which made it very hard to fall asleep before then. That was very frustrating. During the day the resort was relaxing. The food at Motown Restaurant was pretty good. The breakfast buffet was pretty standard and nothing extraordinary. The buffet in the evening at the Beach Bar was not impressive. We eventually decided to eat elsewhere in the evenings. The pool area was a bit of a let down. If you compare the pictures online to what it looks like in person, you’ll get your feelings hurt. It was hard to believe that it was the same place. The beach in front of the resort was dirty and not kept well. We walked down in front of the Robinson and they had employees picking up trash and raking the beach. I picked up 3 pieces of broken glass off the beach in front of Beyond. There is nothing to do at the resort. We rented a car to go do things off the property cause other than laying around the pool, there were no activities. The staff was courteous, for the most part. There were two ladies at the Beach Bar who made us feel like we were a nuisance for asking for more water or asking for out bill when we were finished. The rooms are dated and it’s nice to hear they are doing an update soon. Most of the rooms on the property were unoccupied. Maybe it’s the low season. Our room had paint scratched and chipping off the walls. The furniture is dated and delaminated. The rooms basically were like cheap motel rooms. Nothing memorable about them. The cats were annoying as well. Don’t try to exchange your currency at the front desk. The rate she offered was not a fair exchange rate. We exchanged money in town. We had a nice time in Thailand, but would not recommend Beyond Khaolak to friends.

Came back after 6 years… Check in was great. Fast with drinks and cold towels which was badly needed but greatly anticipated. Food has improved so much as well at the beach restaurant. Thankyou Tip. Duke at the poolbar makes the best cocktails! Room has comfy sheets and pillows. But needed to ask for fresh towels when they make up the room. Apparently robes cannot be replaced as well? As i requested but didnt give. But overall it was a great experience! Will come back again next yr.
