Haadson
Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
We thoughroully enjoyed our time here, although it was the end of
the high season we managed to have the resort to ourselves ( well
6 persons at any one time there) :-) The only feedback I can offer
is that the command of English needs to be improved in the restaurant
& front desk. Apart from that we were very satisfied with our stay
and would strongly recommend this resort for a quiet & relaxing vacation.
1.5hrs from Phuket Intl 15 mins to Khao Lak center 400 THB taxi to/from

Haadson Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
What a beautiful place! You can have Bangsak beach all for yourself,
there are no other hotels nearby, only some locals visiting the beach
during the weekends (which is nice!). Unfortunately the beach is not
for snorkeling, but most of the other beaches have the same problem.
The resort if very quiet and made for relaxing. Don t expect night
life, the only thing you can do in the evenings is to choose the hotel
restaurant (ok) or one of the local restaurants just outside the hotel,
at the front of the beach (I do recommend, so tasty, so cheap). During
the day there is a free shuttle to the centre of Khao Lak, where you
can go and check the other turists (if you want) and do some quick
shopping. Otherwise I do recommend renting a car, the traffic around
Khao Lak area is not too bad, just go there and drive, you ll be ok!
The resort rooms are very basic with nice contemporary style, hint
of thai decoration. Airconditioning was very loud, but well, you need
it, you get used to it. Our baby got a small flu from the aircon,
but otherwise the place was very baby-friendly, we got a nice bed
for her and mosquito-net when asked. And the hotel staff were very
nice for us and the baby, all the time. So, the place is good for
couples and families, but I would not go there alone or with girl-friends
(no party!)! Breakfast was ok, served in a beatiful seaside terrace.
The most beautiful thing for me was after all the GARDEN, it was very
well kept and so nice. I do recommend this hotel for everybody who
wants a quiet holiday, not big tourist crouds, peaceful nature and
beautiful beach - with a small touch of local life. |

This was also very nice choice out from Khao Lak center (about 15
km). Very relaxed atmosphere, clean accomodations with various price
levels. Very service oriented and friendly staff and excellent food...Thank
you. You can book trips to Similan and Surin from here too. |

Haadson Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
Lovely hotel. About 20 mins from Khao Lak town (300bht either way
from the Hotel or 400bht if going from the town). We were after a
relaxing holiday away from everything and got what we wanted and more.
Not for those looking for a party place but beautifully serene with
lovely staff. We will be back! |

Haadson Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
If you want a lively hotel in the centre of the action the Haadson
is not for you .However if you are looking for a quiet location, bungalow
type accommodation, beautiful well kept and designed gardens and the
most fantastic deserted beach I would recommend the Haadson.The staff
were so friendly and helpful and put a lot of effort into the New
Years Eve party (the staff singing Thai songs and dancing was great
fun).The restaurant was not very good but then we never eat much in
hotel restaurants.There were fantastic local seafood restaurants ,used
by the Thais ,where we ate most lunches and evenings watching the
sunsets. |

Haadson Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
I do not recommend Haadsons. Website is misleading. It s 90 mins from
Phuket airport (not 60mins), and 25mins to Khao Lak centre (not 15mins).
If you plan to do tours from here its expensive and a very early start.
Food is very bland. We attempted dinner twice and then gave up. Service
is also poor, and the staff speak very little english. We also did
not get an important message from our accommodation in phuket, indicating
that they needed to cancel room. We turned up and wasted half a day
reorganising accommodtion. unfortunately we had to spend new years
eve there too. Buffet was horrible, and entertainment consisted mainly
of karaoke by the staff! Releasing the lanterns on the beach after
the fireworks was nice, but its a shame the mess remained all over
the beach the next morning. |

Haadson Resort, Khao Lak, Bangsak Beach
The haadson resort is beautiful, everything has been very well thought
out. The staff were very attentive throughout our stay, even giving
me flowers, cake and a present on my birthday! Its perfect if you
just want to get away from it all as there is nothing near it. This
is not the place to stay if you want nightlife! |
