It has been our second stay this year at the X10 Khaolak Resort, and it has been even more magical than last year. The whole hotel is very clean and cozy, with absolutely dreamy gardens and nature. The beach is gorgeous as well, although sadly a lot of trash was washed ashore by the ocean. Every person working at this hotel is incredibly friendly, always greeting guests with a warm smile and giving their very best at all times. Whether it is the reception staff, gardeners, pool staff, bar staff, restaurant staff, or anyone else working behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly, everyone is doing their best, and you can truly feel it. The food was just as amazing as we remembered. The Thai dishes stood out the most, as they are prepared with so much passion. In the morning, there was a breakfast buffet with so many options that everyone could find something they liked. There was Thai breakfast, bread with all kinds of toppings, noodles, rice, eggs, and fruits. The fruits tasted absolutely amazing. Everything was freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and, of course, the freshly made juices were incredibly delicious. For lunch and dinner, you can choose from an à la carte menu offering a wide variety of dishes from all around the world. The restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready for a little chat and incredibly attentive. They are all doing such an amazing job. There is one person I would especially like to thank: Garfiw. Garfiw is truly one of the most kind-hearted and genuine people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. From the very first moment we saw him again this year, it felt like coming home. His warmth, kindness, and beautiful smile have a way of making every guest feel special, valued, and cared for. What makes Garfiw so extraordinary is not only how exceptional he is at his job, but also the incredible heart he puts into everything he does. You can feel his passion in every interaction, every conversation, every drink he prepares, and every effort he makes to ensure that guests are happy and comfortable. He never simply does his job—he puts his whole heart and soul into it. Every single day, Garfiw went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. No request was ever too much, no problem too small. He always greeted us with genuine happiness and kindness, and his positive energy could brighten even the cloudiest day. His smile is one of those rare smiles that instantly makes you feel welcome, safe, and at peace. I honestly struggle to find the right words to express how thankful I am for everything Garfiw has done for us. He is not only an amazing member of the X10 Khaolak family but also an amazing human being. The care he shows for guests is remarkable, but what touched us even more was seeing how much he cares for his colleagues. His kindness is genuine, selfless, and comes straight from the heart. And of course, I cannot finish without mentioning your amazing drinks. They are without a doubt the most delicious drinks I have ever had. Every single one is made with such care, passion, and attention to detail that you can taste the love that goes into it. Over time, Garfiw has become so much more than someone we met during our holidays. He has become family to us. Seeing him again this year was one of the highlights of our entire trip, and saying goodbye was incredibly difficult. Dear Big Brother Garfiw, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your kindness, your warmth, your laughter, and for making every day brighter. Thank you for making us feel at home, even when we were thousands of miles away from it. You deserve all the happiness, success, and love this world has to offer. People like you are rare, and we feel incredibly blessed to know you. You have my deepest respect and admiration, and I already miss seeing your smile every day. We cannot wait until the day we meet again.

Fantastically located hotel on the beach and 10 minute walk into town. We were made so welcome the moment we arrived - EVERY member of staff are so friendly ALL DAY EVERY DAY! We were given requested interconnecting rooms which made it so much easier for our family. The rooms are lovely. Bed super comfy and we loved the pillow menu - a really nice touch. Spacious and clean rooms overlooking the adult pool on the ground floor with comfortable loungers on the balcony. The only thing I would like more of would be more drawers or shelves in the wardrobe and some hooks on the wall. Rooms were kept clean by wonderful housekeeping staff who sang us a song when we arrived! So sweet! The grounds were so pretty with lots of trees, plants and flowers and they were well maintained. Love how much wildlife there was - frogs, snails, butterflies, birds and lizards. The staff and activities at the kids club are exceptional. Children were signed in and out so we were happy that they were totally safe. Lots of swimming pools which were clean and a joy to swim in. The slide is excellent fun and kept us all entertained. The loungers were great with big comfy cushions and large umbrellas. Housekeeping knock early evening to replenish beach towels. What was nice was they left clean ones even if you didn’t give them back the used ones so there were always plenty of towels. The food at the hotel was really good. A huge menu to choose from and kids eat free with a paying adult. All food was prepared well and all of 8 of us always enjoyed what we ordered. The staff in the main restaurant, the pool bar and the beach bar could not do enough for us - always checking on our comfort and friendly and attentive. We loved the pool tables and the children loved the desktop computers by the main bar - a nice little touch that gave them something to do whilst we finished our wine after dinner. We loved this hotel - the staff really do make this hotel what it is - FANTASTIC!

“Relaxing escape”

i was debating 4 stars, purely because the swim up bar is in the adults only pool, which means i could not use it and spend money here. Surely the hotel must realize they would make more money if all adults could use this bar and not just the adults without children? overall, it was a great hotel,… more

i was debating 4 stars, purely because the swim up bar is in the adults only pool, which means i could not use it and spend money here. Surely the hotel must realize they would make more money if all adults could use this bar and not just the adults without children? overall, it was a great hotel, we had a swim up room which was needed!!! There are numerous pools a waterslide, a splash pad and an adults only pool with swim up bar for adults without kids. The kids club activities were really good. Nail art, pottery painting, my daughter enjoyed it and never usually goes to kids clubs. Breakfast was a big spread, lots available. I found the costs for food and drink in this hotel were really good, so I ate and drank in a fair bit. Rooms were large and you could log into your Netflix. The town was a 10 minute walk or a 200 Baht tuk tuk ride. I am a UK travel agent and i would recommend this hotel for families with children of all ages but also couples who don’t mind being around kids as it didn’t seem overcrowded with them. The staff were good and great location, i would return if the swim up bar was open to all.

“Lovely hotel just watch out for the pool water and getting miss sold your holiday…”

We had a fantastic time at this hotel. Don’t go AI as there is no need as B & B is far better, as we were AI and we were told due to no many people booked on the AI program we had to eat from a menu which was very boring when you are there for two weeks.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel. Don’t go AI as there is no need as B & B is far better, as we were AI and we were told due to no many people booked on the AI program we had to eat from a menu which was very boring when you are there for two weeks. The food at the hotel was fantastic and well presented. We were miss sold the package with TUI. Has anyone had an issue with swim wear bleached by the pool water! We did and it was bad. The hotel will try and dismiss this, which they should not do! Just be aware if you go to this hotel of this ok and the AI …….. other than that we had a great time, but paid a Lot of money for something we did not get, also we were Only Offered 10% off the hotel bill which I feel was very very poor ….
