We spent a week at the Ramada by Wyndham in Khao Lak and had a really lovely stay. The hotel is excellent, not huge (which we actually prefer) calm, beautifully maintained, and instantly relaxing. It quickly became our little oasis.
Our Garden Room was large and comfortable, with everything we needed. The whole place is well maintained and spotlessly clean, and housekeeping was excellent. The turndown service each evening was such a thoughtful touch — coming back to a cool, tidy room after a hot day was bliss.
The beach is absolutely gorgeous: soft white sand, swaying palm trees and that warm, gentle sea that’s perfect for swimming. A dream spot for evening walks and lazy afternoons.
The pool is also fantastic — large, warm, and really lovely. Ideal for a proper swim or just cooling off in the heat.
The service was outstanding — always with a friendly smile. Every member of staff we met was excellent, and it genuinely felt like a proper team. I remember Manager Joe, and in the restaurant Pop and Nonny were wonderful — as were many others whose names I didn’t catch. Breakfast staff, reception, the pool bar, the groundsman, even the towel boy — all brilliant. Friendly, attentive and consistently helpful throughout the whole week.
And the location, location, location — 10/10. An easy walk to shops, bars and restaurants, with taxis waiting right outside when you need them.
We also ate several times at Sassi’s Restaurant for dinner and drinks — excellent service, high standards, and really tasty fresh food. Both the Thai dishes and the international options were great. We had some wonderful meals there.
We enjoyed a great experience in the spa, and happy hour at the pool bar was great fun the perfect way to wind down each day.
We had a mix of sunshine and dramatic tropical downpours (Khao Lak keeping things interesting!), but the hotel was a fantastic base in all weather. Peaceful grounds, friendly staff, excellent facilities — everything you need for a relaxing break.
Ramada really is an oasis — welcoming, friendly, beautifully kept, and a joy to come back to each day.
