Hongte Khaolak Resort

Beautiful bungalows in peaceful grounds with a good pool and plenty of sunloungers just a stone’s throw from all the restaurants, bars and market. Our bungalow was spotless and cleaned every day, it was huge and very comfortable with a flatscreen TV (not that we used it), nice balcony, air con and lovely modern bathroom.

The owners were very friendly and always on hand if you needed anything. We rented a scooter for our stay at an excellent rate, and they arranged transfers to and from the airport/ferry at a great price. Good breakfast. Thanks for everything!

The staff is super, super nice and helpful with everything. We arrived really late, which was no problem. They offer laundry service for a reasonable price, the breakfast provides everything for a good and health start into the day, even for vegetarians, the bungalows with both A/C and fan are clean and there is enough space. It is just a few minutes walk from the street with Restaurants, Souvenir Shops and Bars nearby. During the night it is quite. I enjoyed staying at this place and can totally recommend.

A small, family-run resort with very clean and comfortable bungalows set in a well-maintained garden.

The owners were lovely and helpful throughout and we felt like we were their personal guests rather than just some tourists passing through.

Fantastic location in a very quiet cul-de-sac, but literally only two minutes from the new food truck market and the centre with restaurants, cafes, bakeries and bars.

The beach and night market are each less than 10 minutes away by foot.

There's everything you might want at the Hongte (unless you are keen on the internationally owned, if impersonal luxury resorts).

The breakfast buffet includes eggs cooked to order and baked treats (great banana pancakes!).
There's also a pool which isn't huge, but large enough to swim lengths.

Bonus: we organised our transfers with them at a very competitive rate and hired a scooter. Their vehicles and helmets are well maintained.

Would highly recommend staying here.

Very spacious and super clean bungalow.
Lovely owners - we had a misunderstanding (my mistake!) about cost and they dealt with it efficiently but also really really friendly.
Breakfast was not extremely varied but good (eggs made to order, a thai dish, yoghurt, fruit etc)
Location is excellent-feels quiet and remote but is just around the corner from the main restaurant area (although i have to say Koh Lak was not for me. Too busy, catering for unadventurous holidaymakers rather than travellers)

Unfortunately most of the bungalows face the pool so you have to close the curtains for any privcay. Mine fortunately faced the ugly wall of another bungalow :-) Also the grounds/pool area feels very bare. For that reason i personally would not recommend, but there were several return guests, so its a matter of priorities (I was suprised i prefered the room at Pratum)
Would have liked a mosquito net/ fan so I was not forced to use AC at nigth.

Lovely peaceful small resort with individual lodges set in well tended gardens and reasonable size swimming pool . Run by a fantastic couple who provide good breakfast. Rooms immaculate. Walking distance from good restaurants and shops and good night market.

My friend Jimmy organized this Resort for me used for my Trip to Thailand and Vietnam for 3 nights. It was a pleasure to meet Oi and Pat, wonderfull owners and so helpfull for trips and travel to airport.
I try to come back !!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. The hosts are so warm and accommodating, the breadth of the breakfast blew me away for the size of the place, and as there is no swimable beach within walking distance the pool is clutch when humidity reaches 100% in the afternoon. The pictures don’t do the place justice- absolutely everything you need is anticipated and the facilities are spotless. I am so glad I chose to stay here!

A very peaceful setting of 11 “bungalows” set around a small private pool. It’s very quiet but only a 3 minute walk to the main drag, which is made of the usual bars and restaurants albeit less expensive than Phuket - for anything. I’d recommend on price, location and personal attention from the staff.

What a wonderful place to stay. Only 11 bungalows and a lovely pool, quiet and peaceful. Owners so friendly and helpful. Great location for beach and market. Plenty of restaurants to choose from just a couple of minutes walk away.
Breakfast excellent quality and freshly cooked eggs/omelettes
Really enjoyed staying here, pity it couldn’t have been for longer

I must say that the couple that owns the place are super friendly and service minded. They offered a pick up at the Phuket airport which was cheaper then normal taxi. They looked after us the whole stay and where very helpful. We got the feeling of being part of a “big family” straight away. They have nice cottages that was far better than our expectations. Well equipped and well maintained. The cleaning was fantastic. Air conditioning worked very well. Close to restaurants and shops. But still very calm and quiet surrounding. Nice motorbikes available for rental. I can really recommend to stay here. We will definitely come back when we visit Khao Lak again.

We loved everything about Hongte.

The owners were extremely helpful and it was like a small oasis hidden away from the more active elements of Khaolak.

The chalet was really nice and well equipped. The pool was lovely.

My observations in terms of our stay are:

1. We went at the beginning of the low season (late May, early June) and this meant that there were very few people about, so we had the pool and the recliners pretty much to ourselves. Perfect from our perspective!!!!!! Also, the top restaurants from Tripadvisor for the Khaolak district were all easily accessible.

2. Try to book any trips you wish to do with the owners. We had a full day excursion to James Bond island which was 1500 baht per person through Hongte. On line, the same trip was 2,500 baht.

3. The weather was very kind. Mostly hot, humid and sunny. Some great lightening storms (mainly at night). Very little rain.

We thoroughly recommend Hongte. Fabulous value for the money.

Lovely bungalows with modern accommodation only minutes from the beach. Nice staff. Lots of food around, nice night and afternoon markets nearby. Highly recommend. We enjoyed our peaceful time here a lot, and the pool was a great and refreshing option in the evening after you come back from dinner. Lots of beaches around, and I can’t say enough about how cheap and well maintained the hotel scooters are. You can have a scooter for a full 24 hours for a mere (roughly) six euros. We used them every day. Just be careful when you travel up the main road to Coconut Beach! (Best beach in our opinion- calmest waves and nicest sand.)

We stayed here for 6 days while visiting Khao Lak to go diving. The location is absolutely fantastic, being less than a 1 minute walk to the town, but squirrelled away off the main road to keep the accommodation peaceful and relaxing. The owners, Oi and Phot, were incredibly accommodating and sourced us bikes for our stay. I would genuinely revisit Khao Lak again purely to stay here. Cannot recommend enough

From airport pick up to drop off we had a wonderful time Phot and Oi were perfect hosts. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty with attentive service. We stopped in bungalow No 8 which was perfect, overlooking the pool with a nice shady palm in front of the balcony. Phot and her assistant cleaned the room everyday and provided lovely crisp white bedding and towels. The bed was perfect – kingsize with a wonderful firm mattress. The grounds were kept clean and tidy and there are enough palms around if you want some shade.
Phot and Oi are very hands on making sure things were alright and were always there if you needed anything. Hired a scooter to get around sightseeing a couple of days. Husband went away for 4 days diving, I felt at home and no problems even when I went out on my own. It is so quiet and peaceful you wouldn't know you were only about 5 mins walk away from shops bars.
The pool area is lovely and there and a sun bed for everyone is a big plus. So glad we chose to stay here and will definitely return next year - looking at flights already. Big thank you to a lovely couple and the young lady who helps out.
If you want somewhere peaceful and quiet to stay that’s not too far away from the main area of Bang Niang in a wonderful cozy and hospitable accommodation then this is the place.

Stayed here before live aboard trip enjoyed it so much booked in for two nights on return, Great resort away from hustle and bustle of the main strip. Breakfast brilliant, Owner and staff exceptionally helpful. Rooms spotlessly clean and aircon is good,,we really enjoyed the pool and the quiet ambiance of the resort definitely worth staying here!!😎

Niedliches kleines Resort. Nette Gastgeber.
Der Pool könnte mal aufbereitet werden, das Licht im Bad sehr grell. Gerade durch die Glaswand zum Hauptraum in der Nacht sehr störend. Mehr Möglichkeiten zum Aufhängen wäre super.
Ansonsten eine absolute Empfehlung!

You really feel like you're in somebody's home at this resort--or more specifically, one of 9 cute little homes that surround the inviting and very-clean pool at this resort. You always felt taken care of by the owners/hosts, which is what I look for, compared to the large impersonal resorts that seem to proliferate in this area. Just a quick walk down the street and you're right in the middle of everything, and a few hundred meters to the west is the beach. This would be a great place for a group of several couples to have a reunion or celebrate a special occasion. Could not hear traffic sounds from this tucked-away property, but I could hear the beach... The owners, who are always working on their place, sprucing it up, have a little puppy and a cat that scamper around the property, adding to the homey feel. Phol (not sure if I'm spelling that right) did a pick up and drop off at the airport for a very reasonable price, plus took me on a day trip. I can't recommend this place enough if you want a chilled out personalized experience in Khao Lak.

Immer wieder gerne.

Das kleine Resort hat insgesamt nur 9 Bungalows und ist damit ideal für alle Gäste, die es ruhig haben wollen.

Unser Bungalow war schön sauber und auch ansonsten war alles sehr idyllisch.

Die Besitzerin ist super herzlich und unaufdringlich und ist einem bei allen Wünschen behilflich.

Sollten wir wieder nach Khao Lak kommen, würden wir wieder ins Hongte fahren!

During our trip to Khao Lak, my wife, little son and I stayed for three nights in the Hongte Khaolak Resort. In general the resort is nice and our bungalow was clean and comfortable. The free WiFi worked rather good (not always the case in hotels) and the staff was kindly and helpful.
Furthermore the included breakfast was quite varied and also tasty.
The location of the hotel is great. By renting a scooter the surrounding can easily be explored and also the beach of Khao Lak is in five minutes walking distance. Besides some restaurants in the close surrounding of the hotel also some shops and a might market are just a couple of minutes of walking away.
However I want to mention that there was a double booking for our room and we had to stay in another hotel during the first night. All in all the staff handled the situation satisfactorily, nevertheless after hours of waiting for the room and ending up in another hotel is not really convenient and therefore I deduct one point.
Nonetheless, the remaining three nights were great and we can totally recommend the Hongte Khaolak Resort.

Hotel très propre très bien tenu,personnel aux petits soins vraiment très très bon sejour
