Kokotel Khao Lak Lighthouse

Soooo much to love about this place. I loved having breakfast by the sea every morning—with a nice selection of foods! We also loved the surf shop (Low Tide) located behind the hotel, which allowed us to surf almost everyday. **note that it’s only recommended to surf during low tide. The bed was SO comfortable—probably the best we’ve experienced so far in Thailand. The staff were so kind and always with a smile. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended a week! Hopefully we can come back soon. P.S. book the sea view room, very much worth it, even if you can’t “see” that much of the sea.

Excellent location, great staff, fantastic breakfast included, beach and pool towels provided. They gave us a slightly later checkout even tho they were fully booked. Good value for money! Great beach in front and walking distance to restaurants, shops, 7 Eleven etc. staff always happy to assist as much as they can.

I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to the hotel staff — Khun Dexter and Khun Toeng. We rented a room in the hotel for our friend as a birthday gift. Before our friend moved in, I asked the staff to decorate the room — but they went above and beyond. First, Khun Dexter and Khun Toeng surprised our friend at the reception with a birthday cake 🎂. Then, they beautifully decorated the room with balloons and a “Happy Birthday” banner. We were all amazed by their efforts. Khun Dexter and Khun Toeng helped us create a truly wonderful gift. Khun Dexter and Khun Toeng — thank you so much! 🙏🏼 As for the hotel itself, it’s a lovely place located near the sea, with a delicious breakfast.

It was our 2nd time at Kokotel, first time we were with the kids in 2022. And I can honestly say things have improved and our stay was wonderful. I do not understand why some reviews argue about the quality of breakfast, cannot see what could be improved there as they have what you find in 90% of hotels. The rooms are clean, the ladies come and clean them everyday. The staff is amazing - thank you Nan for being such a nice person and making our kids feel great! The hotel is right on the beach - which is actually very clean compared to the one next to it, for kids it is an ideal location. You are walking distance from a number of very good restaurants and shops. Perhaps not all rooms are great but for us both this time and two years ago we had very good and comfortable rooms. So we truly recommend this hotel, especially given its price range.

Direct access to the beach. Although the restaurant was separate from the main hotel, it was very nice to eat breakfast with a view of the ocean. We chose a room with direct access to the pool which was very convenient. The staff were friendly.
