We stayed here as a family with children and really enjoyed our stay. The kids’ club is excellent, with many games, computer games, a small cinema room, and fun activities. Our son even joined a Thai boxing class and loved it. The pools are large and have many facilities for children, the beach is beautiful, and our room was very nice and clean. A great hotel for families!

Family-friendly resort. It’s a pity that the water park (slide, kids water splash, lazy river) has limited use times. This needs to improve. Kids Club was big with 5-star staff. Breakfast was average.

Our stay at The Sands Khao Lak was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The resort is beautiful, immaculately maintained, and perfectly located right on the beach. The pools were incredible, with plenty of space for both families and adults to relax, and the beach itself was peaceful and stunning. What really made our stay special was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until the day we left. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve experienced, with a huge variety of delicious options each morning. There were plenty of activities for our kids, making it a wonderful destination for families, while still offering quiet spaces to unwind. We left with amazing memories and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on a future trip to Thailand. Thank you to everyone at The Sands Khao Lak for making our vacation so memorable. Highly recommended!
