  Best travel choice for realxing

  Grand Mercure Khao Lak Bangsak is engineered for calm. Our stay was marvelous. The low-density design, open spaces, and a quiet beachfront eliminate sensory overload. At the spa, therapists Pa and Dao were super sweet and got us the best massage we've ever had. Food was also delicious at the Mango Restaurant and at the breakfast buffet, where everyone was so nice with us. The room conditions were also amazing.

  Relaxing and fabulous

  After a 3 night trip to Bangkok, we stayed at the Grand Mercure for 10 nights in a swim up room with our girls in the adjacent room. I chose the hotel for its relaxing boutique feel and it really was a perfect place to relax and recharge. Our rooms, 4105 and 4106 were gorgeous: very spacious, comfortable beds, good toiletries and best of all, the balconies with 2 comfortable sun-beds and a separate seating area. Steps led straight down into the pool with jacuzzi areas. I’d read reviews many of which suggested upgrading to the swim ups and I’m so glad we did. It made all the difference to our holiday and felt very decadent. We tended to relax and sunbathe there until mid afternoon and then head to the beach for a few hours and to watch the sunset. For us, our rooms were ideally situated on the sunny side of the hotel, half way between the lobby and the beach with the breakfast restaurant less than 1 minute away. The hotel is quiet. There is little in terms of entertainment, just some live music on a couple of evenings but as we were only on a bed and breakfast basis, we headed out every evening to one of the local Thai eateries. Other than breakfast, we only ate once at the hotel which was on Christmas Eve. The staff were excellent and tried really hard to make it a special evening but the buffet was massively overpriced, no drinks included and the entertainment ( a singer, violinist and keyboard player), lacklustre. Food was generally expensive here as you might expect from a 5 star hotel but there were plenty of places to eat on the beach and to the left and right from the front of the hotel. Our favourites were The Andaman, Food Story 168, Green Restaurant, Double Tree Kitchen, Taste of India Bangsak, and the B52s bar for a late night drink. Our favourite lunchtime choice was Thap Tawan beach restaurant. Portions here were huge and the Thai meals were very authentic. When we asked for ‘Thai spicy”, that’s exactly what we got unlike in other places, where they toned it down significantly for the tourists! We also had late night drinks at a tiny bar to the left of Food Story – half a dozen barstools and a lovely Thai lady with all her games who entertained us and our girls. The main pool was nice with a swim up bar. No loud music, lots of families but also not overly crowded. The beach was huge with beautiful soft sand and blue water and was the perfect place to watch the magnificent sunset straight ahead of us. Great for some lovely shell collecting too. The hotel offered some activities mainly first thing in the morning and late afternoon. I tried out the Muay Thai classes with Leen a few times (he was great) and the beach yoga. Taxis are available outside to take you wherever you need with visible fixed prices for a single journey (though they will wait and bring you back too). Trips all similarly priced wherever you go. It was a 20 minute journey into Bang Niang and 400 ThB for example. The Muay Thai boxing stadium was a real highlight and well worth the money. Sit on the red seats at the back to have the best view of the winners. Ringside seats not worth it. Massage places everywhere. The absolute best was Nina who worked at the massage place on the beach adjacent to the hotel. Ask for her. She was absolutely amazing. Overall, a fabulous holiday if you want peace and quiet and no blaring music!

  A Truly Wonderful Stay

  Thank you to Paul and his team for the amazing stay we had. We spent five nights there during our two-week stay in Thailand—an ideal place to relax and enjoy the wonderful, expansive beach where the hotel is located. The hotel is lovely, perfectly located, and highly recommended.

  A wonderful stay at Grand Mercure Khao Lak

  I had a fantastic stay at the Grand Mercure Khao Lak. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a great layout that blends perfectly into its surroundings, and it sits on a truly wonderful stretch of beach. The food on site was very good, with plenty of variety, but we also loved that there are lots of excellent dining options within easy walking distance outside the hotel too. Prices within the hotel were very reasonable, and the happy hour options throughout the day were a real bonus. The staff were absolutely incredible and genuinely made the stay special. A particular shoutout to In, June and Yo, who were all outstanding - friendly, attentive and a real credit to the hotel. Sunlounger usage was very well managed, which meant it was always easy to find a good spot by the pool or beach without any stress. My room was extremely comfortable and relaxing, and the check-in process was smooth and very efficient. The only minor constructive feedback would be that my bedroom door didn’t shut fully by itself and needed a small tug. Also, while the daily activities looked great, they could have been better advertised, as I tended to stumble across them rather than being aware in advance. Overall, a brilliant hotel that i would happily return to and recommend without hesitation.
