Khao Lak Bhandari Resort & Spa

Old hotel with overprice for the non- beachfront property that you charge thb5000 per night with standard room type (eventhough you called as Deluxe Thai style room) For breakfast, enough choice each day but extracharge for espresso if you dont take black coffee (dont forget the room price is quite high when you compare with average hotel price in Thailand with newer, better accomodation condition) Room is quite old and totally different from agoda post... quite disappointed (last 2 pics are screenshot from agoda)

This review is for the spa only as I didn’t stay in this hotel during my stay in Lhao Lak. I chose to have the Freedom of Life treatment which consisted of a body scrub of 60 minutes and a body wrap of 60 minutes too for 1700B. I had understood that the treatment included the use of the jacuzzi, sauna and steam room for free but I was told this came as an extra and had to pay 250B more. As I was not happy the lady offered me 30 minutes to use the sauna and steam room without extra! Very appreciated. I was given towels. The sauna and steam room were lovely, clean and smelt really nice. After 30 minutes the lady took me to the treatment room. Beautiful room with high wood structures that give the room a wow effect. I was given a gown and disposable nickers. I had the body scrub first. This was done very thoroughly and vigorously. The scrub was made with mango and the whole room smelt delicious! As some parts of my body were uncovered I was cold and asked the lady to turn the air con off, which she did immediately. Time flew by and it was time for the body wrap. After a quick shower and new disposable nickers the lady applied some sort of gel/cream on my body and wrapped me in a kind of plastic wrap. The smell was divine and I was left there to relax. It was warm, the relaxing music, the birds singing and sound of the water outside all made me fall asleep and the lady came back to wake me gently and helped me up to the shower. After the shower I was asked to put my pants on only and was given a gentle 5 min massage to apply body moisturizer. Again it smelt lovely and my skin felt like velvet and smelt nice. I felt so relaxed and happy. Once I got dressed I was taken to a quiet relax area to drink my tea (a sweet but spicy ginger tea). So overall very pleased with my treatment. If I was in the area again I would not hesitate to get a treatment there. The massages and treatments are amazing and very good value for money. The use of sauna and steam room are good too but make sure you use them before your treatments not after. One thing I would mention is that my scrub and my body wrap were done to every body part, including butt and breast. It was not a problem for me but be aware you’ll be lying flat on your back with your breast being massaged and exfoliated.. all done very professionally of course. Once one body part was finished the lady covered it with a towel anyway. I strongly recommend the use of the spa at Khao Lak Resort and Spa as it was an amazing and relaxing experience!!! Thank you to the lovely team and Fon who gave me a very lovely body treatment!!! :))) I will come again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent service, nice clean rooms, the staff were wonderful. Daily breakfast is great with plenty to eat. Love the location-can walk to great restaurants. Beach is nice and across the street or you can taxi to other lovely beaches nearby for a change. The staff did an absolute fabulous job for the new year’s eve celebration. We also ate at the BBQ buffet one night which was also very good. The spa staff were wonderful. I highly recommend this resort.
