    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The TUI BLUE Mai Khao Lak offers private villas in its accommodation catalogue, and it’s set on an unspoilt beach.

    The TUI BLUE Mai Khao Lak - formerly the TUI FAMILY LIFE Mai Khao Lak - is set on the edge of a caramel-coloured beach, and is shrouded from the rest of Khao Lak by tropical forest. The centre of town is just a 15-minute cab ride away, or you can hop on the hotel’s shuttle bus.

    The hotel is new to our TUI BLUE portfolio, and brings with it futuristic, oyster shell-shaped villas. They come with designer interiors, and a decked patio, where little ones can wash off in their own outdoor bath tub.

    Please note, this hotel only operates as a TUI BLUE For Families hotel between November and April, and from May to October fewer facilities are available.

    Poor effort
    14 Jan , 2020 876jonm, -1
    Staff do try very hard to accommodate but a lack of leadership and training seems to be a issue. Bar areas ( what few there are) and restaurants are run by teenagers or very young adults with no supervision or support. Sneaking charges for drinks in some bars is bad way of looking after all inclusive guests. No mini bar in rooms !!!! Be warned. This is not a quiet place to come and relax due to the number of children about at all times of the day. There's a small area for adults with rock hard sunbeds but u wont escape the screaming from kids anywhere. Hotel is a bit run down with tiles falling off around the pool area in places and rooms are small uninviting. Room service you will also be charged for. Will happily return to Thailand but definitely not this resort
    Christmas and new year stay ! Beware blonde hair will go green from the pool !!

    We stayed here for Christmas and new year ! The weather was perfect nice and hot ! Hotel right on beach which is nice . We stayed in the new part of the hotel on the family side ! It’s the Nicest part of the hotel so was pleased we were there as the pool was amazing and it was relaxing and now The worst part of being there there’s no where to grab a drink !!! Nightmare !! We had to walk over to adults pool or back all the way to the kids pool to get a drink !! Really bad really, there should be another bar it seems like your forgotten about ! And beware the pool turns everything white to green !! Our swim wear went green which is now ruined ! My daughters lovely blonde hair went green ! The hotel is not all inclusive like the usual ! There’s things that you still have to pay for like the coffee shop , green grill restaurant, and room service ! Also it’s weird that the main Buffet don’t open for lunch so your limited to where to eat !! Another disappointment was the hotel wasn’t Christmassy enough ! I didn’t feel like it was Christmas at all ! There was no Christmas trees anywhere !! The only time it felt Christmassy was Christmas Eve night at the gala but by the morning everything was took down !! New Year’s Eve was ok not the best ! Also there’s no entertainment here what’s so ever !! Only a kids show !! There’s nothing to do at night what’s so ever !!! I did like the hotel apart from them downsides and I think the weather helped , the other good part is getting in a taxi and going to the market and going into town ! This hotel could be amazing but it’s missing the simple things !! The new pool area needs a drinks area or people will dehydrate!!! Or get a waitress taking drink orders !! All in all I loved Thailand !!! I’d definitely be back but not sure about returning to this hotel !
    Deeply disappointing

    On arrival at the dismal reception area, we were met by 2 oversized moth eaten teddy bears, 2 adult clowns running around with loud shrieks, and webs of hair and dust blowing across the floor. I thought we were at a childrens holiday camp, not a resort. Our pool access rooms were large and comfortable but sadly in need of refurbishment. Housekeeping was erratic, sometimes our room was not serviced. The rain shower was great but I did not want to touch the walls of the grimy shower stall. The location on the beach was lovely, with several restaurants under the trees. Food in the buffet was plentiful and varied to suit all tastes. However, several times they omitted to put out bowls or plates. Service in the adults only breakfast area was painfully slow (an hour wait for eggs?) and there was utter confusion at the several restaurants on site when we presented lunch or dinner vouchers. Service was slow, orders were confused. The staff seemed woefully inexperienced. However, the hotel manager, Sunanta, was really helpful, and tried to keep her eye on everything. The resort is fine as a low budget option for northern Europeans seeking respite from their winter. Activities were mostly geared to young children. There was little for adults at night, no dancing, no sports bar. The grounds were Generally, this was a disappointing experience.

    A very nice hotel close to the lovely beach. The staff is very friendly! The food is very good, and fortunately the fitness facilities as well:) The swimming pool is big, warm and lovely. Evening entertainment is nice:)

    Well before we had our holiday in Apsara, we stayed last April here in Mai Khaolak. It was an amazing stay because the staff were nice and well accommodated. The rooms were spacious and buffet restaurants had a plenty of food choices.. Sky bar was fantastic!! I found out there were a lot of Philippine staff and thanks to Ms. Ada who did her job very well and Mr. Aga in Pool bar whose very clever and active.. This hotel were made for family and friends, swim up rooms were the best!! Thank you Mai for making our stay more relaxing!!
