에덴 비치 카오락 리조트 & 스파

We had an excellent stay at Eden Beach Resort. The resort is outside of Khao Lak town (about 10mins drive) but there are a handful of local restaurants within 5mins walk as well as a 7/11, pharmacy etc. Beautiful grounds and well appointed rooms. Buffet breakfast had loads of selection. A few things that could be improved - our room was often not cleaned until late afternoon (despite putting up the “please make up room” sign before 8am). We often had towels taken from our room but not replaced and had to hunt down housekeeping for room and pool towels. The breakfast buffet, while huge, was open air and as a result there were small birds eating/jumping within the food constantly. While there are plenty of sun loungers other guests would “reserve” them with beach towels first thing and then abandon them for hours. It was near impossible to get a lounge after 10am. The rooms have poor soundproofing including no real doors on the bathroom - I will never understand why hotels do this? We would stay again, but likely in a better room (quieter and more private) and make sure you claim your lounge before breakfast!

Staff was excellent and the atmosphere and decorations of the hotel were beautiful. Perfect for families as the pool and swim up bar are great! Only negative was the smell of the AC, I recommend a deep clean to remove the damp smell from the system.

Perfect room condition

The highlight of the resort is the pool area. The pool is big, with different areas and water hights, so it's suitable also for small kids. It is all connected, with a pool bar and a very nice lawn with sun beds and umbrellas all around it. It is just a few meters from the long beach which is of compact golden sand and which is ideal for long walks, especially around sunset. The sea has no coral reef, so it isn't a place for snorkelling. The water is quite rough, so you can enjoy playing with the waves. The Senses restaurant facing the pool has a romantic setting and they serve very good food, both international and Thai. I had one of the best cheek beef massam curry I ever tried. In total the resort has 3 restaurants. A beach restaurant which offers Italian food, pizza and bbq fish, the Senses and the breakfast restaurant. The breakfast buffet is abundant with a good variety of savoury and sweets options. There is also a very cute Deli Cafè with delicious pastries for a nice afternoon tea break. The gym is big enough and well equipped. There is also a pool table with a library and a ping pong table near the swimming pool. The rooms are nicely decorated with woods elements and have all necessary amenities. I requested an high floor room facing the sea, so it was very luminous. Me and my girls (17 and 21) enjoyed our stay at Eden beach. We also enjoyed the SPA. The food and SPA prices are obviously higher compared to external places. The only negative point is concerning the advertised hotel activities, such as yoga or a bike tour to the nearby waterfalls. People seems not to be very interested and if they don't reach a minimum number of people, the event won't take place, so while we were there we couldn't do any of them. Take note that if you want to go to the night market to KhaoLak center with the hotel shuttle bus, you need to reserve it a couple of days before. All together it's a nice resort. I wouldn't rate it a 5 stars though. I think it's a very good 4 stars.
