Mukdara Beach Villa & Spa Resort

Good location in busy Kao lak. I agree with some of the comments that this hotel is in need of a makeover and this could be seen evidenced in our garden villa. Although very spacious it was extremely dark and the bathroom had a very worn bath with cracks and a rusty nail hanging out of the wall. That said the hotel does provide a very good breakfast with lots of choice for Asian and westerners. The pool grounds were also stunning.

A pleasant hotel with a huge garden right on the beach. We stayed here for one week in a villa near the pool. The villa is very spacious and with comfortable beds, loved the outdoor shower and with birds and other small animals we enjoyed the balcony setting. The fan and air-con can be a little noisy, so we left the windows open. Food is ok at the restaurant and bar, and we had two delicious room services. Very close by are numerous shops and restaurants etc. providing a good variety and alternatives. Staff at the reception is very friendly but language skills (english) limited.

Just got back from this beautiful hotel and resort. I've read reviews,the hotel is looking tired. Their was no evidence of this at all but we were staying in one of the villa's which was fabulous. The whole place is the epitome of tranquility and quintessentially Thai,set a few yards from the most beautiful, peaceful beach. Breakfast was adequate but not much choice for westerners. The hotel was predominantly occupied by Russians & Germans but this was the case throughout Khoi Lak. Our villa was cleaned to a high standard and bedlinen/towers changed every day. The pool areas are stunning. The main pool is just beautiful and until 3.00pm,so relaxing and calm. Happy hour begins at 3.00pm and on the dot,everyday, a large crowd of germans descended around the pool bar. They were very loud and completely dictated the area,spoiling the atmosphere and ruining it for others. The bar attendants played to the crowd & the music(heavy rock) was cranked up which completely ruined the atmosphere and peacefulness of the surroundings. One woman was smoking a cigarette in the pool( every day) with the ash falling into the water!! The bar staff did nothing. My husband and I complained at reception but nothing was done because it was the same the following day. There was no thought given at all to other holiday makers. In fact,a lot of people got up and moved. This is something the management need to address. Other than this,we had a very nice stay. The staff were wonderful,friendly and very hard working.

If you are looking for luxury then this is not the place for you. It’s clean and comfortable and in a perfect location on the beach but the resort is really tired and in need on a significant facelift. For the prices they are charging they really should be reinvesting back into the resort. With some money spent this place could easily be one of the nicest places around. Breakfast is decent but not a huge selection for westerners in my opinion. A few different pool areas which is great if you like a bit of variation however I personally preferred the pool by the beach as the loungers overlook the sea. The staff are friendly enough but I wouldn’t say the service was outstanding. If you get a cheap deal then this is certainly worth a visit but there are far nicer resorts to choose from in my opinion
