Moracea by Khao Lak Resort

Fantastic hotel in every way!

👍

Room choice not to our liking. Near main road at top of hill and a little noisy. Evening dining options very limited, main restaurant unappealing. Resort somewhat crammed with different room types and lots of trees, so limited areas for sunbathing. Usual early morning flurry to reserve the best sunbeds, even though signs up saying not to. At the price point, we've stayed in better hotels around Khao Lak.

Our room was spacious and spotless. We booked a pool access room, it was lovely to be able to swim directly from our balcony. The resort is on a steep hill and access to the rooms is via steps so this resort may not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. The grounds are immaculate and the beach is fabulous, probably the best stretch of the beach is right in front of the resort. The only negatives are the reserving of sunbeds. There are signs to say reserving of sunbeds is not permitted and towels will be removed. This does not deter people and the towels are not removed so if you like a lie in you will likely struggle to get a bed near the beach. Mosquitoes are quite a big problem. I got more bites in 4 hours than I did in 6 days in practically jungle accommodation prior to staying at Moracea. Plantpots full of stagnant water are a breeding ground for mosquitoes and you can see them in all stages of their growth. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Khao Lak is a strange resort. The shops and restaurants etc are either side of 6 lanes of traffic. There is a great night market not far away and 200 thbt will get you there from the hotel

Amazing staff with clean rooms and services. Taxi service around the hotel, so you don't have to walk up the steep hills.
