The Waters Khao Lak By Katathani

I've stayed at other Katathani resorts, all of which I've enjoyed my time there very much. The Waters is no exception. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful and the bell boys are wonderful. When booking I requested a room close to the restaurant and reception. Unfortunately this was not possible. We ended up with a room way down the back of the resort. When ever we needed a buggy to take us to reception, the restaurant for meals we only had to request one. A return journey back to our room was not problem either. Breakfast is included. We had a half board deal where lunch or dinner was also included. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The aircon seemed to be permanently set to 20c and refused to stay at a higher temperature when changed. A large bathroom/toilet with a large shower. No door on the toilet alcove was a bit distressing for my wife. Breakfast was very good, a wide range of choice to suit all dietary requirements. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the restricted selections offered by the lunch and dinner half board menus. The Italian restaurant Amici is wonderful, this is also where breakfast is served, but not lunch. Lunch is available at the Bubble Bar just behind reception and is sunk into one of the many pools. Word of warning, do not sit under the light coloured roof area, it is extremely hot when the sun is over head. There are only two fans when there needs to be a few more. I have one complaint concerning the staff of the Bubble Bar. There seems to be nobody running it. No manager, the staff are all very young and would rather chat amongst themselves, play their modern music at an unacceptable volume and thus making conversation difficult. Service is also very slow as you can imagine. Would I come and stay here again? Most definitely. Outside the resort there are a multitude of small shops, restaurants, minimarts and massage shops within easy walking distance. The resort is set in beautiful and well kept gardens.

Me and my family (3 generations now all adults ageed between 24 to 68) have just returned from an amazing 10 nights stay at the Waters Hotel in the Bang Niang area of Khao Lak. We stayed between the 11th to 23rd April and can honestly say the hotel was amazing. We stayed in a ground floor pool access room (swim up room number 1761). Everything about the room was great, it was large and modern with a huge very comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities, ironing board and iron, fridge and plenty of universal plug sockets (no adapters needed). The bathroom was also large with a walk in shower, hairdryer that actually dried your hair and rooms were cleaned daily if wanted with fresh shower and pool towels provided. Bottled water was also provided daily. You had large sliding doors out on to the terrace area which consisted of a shaded area, 2 sunbeds and a large round day bed, a lower terrace which had a few inches of water where you could move your sunbeds to as it was in full sun for most of the day and then steps directly in to the large shared pool which was amazing. We were just down from the splash swim up bar which served delicious food and drink. The cocktails were all freshly made and were really nice. I must give a mention to Sia and Atlas who provided exceptional service everyday and worked so hard, as did all the staff here. Breakfast was fab with everything you could want, I especially liked the pancake machine which delivered fresh pancakes on demand 😋 and the freshly made omelets. The hotel location was fantastic, multiple shops, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep and the night market was a 5 minute walk which we loved. Although the hotel is not located directly on the beach it is a max 5 min walk and the hotel entrance is level with the end of the La Flora hotel which is advertised as beach fronted, however if you are giving a room at the back of the La Flora you will be no closer to the beach than if you stay at the Waters. The staff at The Hotel could not do enough for you and we're so friendly and welcoming and I really can't think of any negatives. Khao Lak itself is wonderful, so laid back and strikes a perfect balance between having plenty going on to entertain you without being rowdy. You can eat at a different restaurant every night and not have a bad meal. The food on the night market was also delicious and with so much choice as well as 60 THB Mojito's which were delicious 😋. I woluld highly recommend the following bars and restaurants Siam restaurant Little Marghe restaurant Mali restaurant Cat Cat restaurant on night market Toilet bar on night market Be Bob bar Lan la bar Bamboo bar Moose bar (for sports) We booked 2 trips as well as our Airport transfers with Rung Ontour Khaolak, one personalised tour which included bamboo rafting, a visit to Lampi waterfall, a visit to a local temple and the full experience at the elephant sanctuary and then a day trip to the Samilan Island's by catamaran. Both trips were amazing and Rung ontour made everything do easy. The communication was fantastic and the trips were so reasonable priced, I would highly recommend using them. We loved every minute of our stay in Khao Lak and The Waters and will definitely be returning.

Hello Waters Team, as every year, it was an honor to be your guest. Our room, the entire resort, and the service were, as always, completely satisfactory. Thanks to the continuous expansions, renovations, and maintenance of the resort, we feel comfortable and at ease every year. Thank you to the owners of the Katathani Group, without whom this certainly wouldn't be possible. Our special thanks, of course, go to the Waters Team, especially Taychita, who does an outstanding job, as well as Fon and Tuon, who always attend to guests' needs with friendliness and a smile. Thank you so much for this year; we will definitely see you again next year!

“Nice Resort”

Very nice Resort close to the beach, shops and the market. Very clean and great staff, lower pool access room was excellent. Dinner meals were great, breakfast didn't change much though the week and was nothing to write home about. Would recommend staying here.
