Staff were attentive, buffet breakfast was amazing. They could pay attention to cleaning up the beaches so there is no plastic and rubbish on them - this isnt acceptable in other countries and was quite a shock to see it.

2/10 Poor

Not a 5 star hotel.

No Gold VIP recognition or benefits upon checkin. Staff has no idea what it is. Poor parking. Hard to navigate hotel from lobby to beach. Had top floor ocean front room with good view. Bathtub on balcony wouldn’t drain. Pillows and mattress are dated and not 5 star. Breakfast was fine. There are better properties to stay at. Disappointed in this ‘5 star’ hotel.

Amazing hotel!

La Vela is a beautiful hotel, right on the beach with the most amazing swimming pools and friendly service. We stayed in a family room which was spacious and comfortable and had a room divider screen to allow children and parents to have their own space. Our children (ages 9 and 6) enjoyed the kids club and thought the floating obstacle course was the best thing ever! They also made a great friend in one of the lovely La Vela staff members, Fang, who was wonderful with them. The breakfast buffet was varied and extensive and the other restaurants on site were also excellent. La Vela is also really close to Bang Niang with its restaurants, shops and fab night market. It was great to be able to walk out of the hotel and find lots of local food and drink options just around the corner. Taxis and songtheaws are also easy to come by to visit other parts of Khao Lak. Coconut beach and White Sand Beach are gorgeous! The beach bar, sunsets and amazing fire show also helped to make our stay undoubtedly 5*. Thanks La Vela! In the kids’ words…“best hotel ever!”

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans cet hôtel. Les chambres familiales sont spacieuses et les lits sont très confortables. 17 jours à découvrir cette belle région avec un retour dans un hôtel de qualité. Nous reviendrons certainement.

Buffet breakfast was a highlight - delicious

This was our second stay at La Vella Khao Lak, and we were once again impressed by the friendly and professional staff who go above and beyond. However, some guests reserve pool and beach chairs for hours without using them, which is unfair to others. We recommend management put up signs in multiple languages and enforce a policy to remove unattended towels after 30 minutes.

Modern beach hotel

The hotel is on a lovely, relatively quiet beach on the outskirts of the local town. A quick 5 mins walk or 2 mins in the hotel buggy. We had a sea view deluxe room which was great. Beautiful views, quiet, large, practical space and well serviced throughout the week. As mentioned by others the breakfast is excellent, especially loved the coffee which is freshly made on request. Not keen on the loud dance music played often over lunch or in the evening as takes away from the relaxing beach vibe. Liked happy hour on the beach.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im La Vela Khao Lak. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist einfach fantastisch, und die gesamte Anlage ist modern gestaltet mit großzügigen Pools und einer entspannten Atmosphäre. Besonders das Frühstücksbuffet hat uns begeistert – eine große Auswahl und alles frisch und lecker. Unser Zimmer war geräumig und hatte einen tollen Blick aufs Pool. Allerdings roch die Klimaanlage manchmal etwas unangenehm, und man merkt, dass die Möbel bald ausgetauscht werden könnten. Trotzdem war alles sauber und gepflegt, sodass wir uns wohlgefühlt haben. Das Personal war super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Insgesamt ist das La Vela ein tolles Hotel, das wir trotz kleiner Schwächen definitiv weiterempfehlen können.
