I stayed here in september 2012 for 3 nights and got no sleep due to the new Disco and live band venue 2 doors away. The accomodation is actually nice and I have stayed there before but beware of the disco. If you are a light sleeper you are in for a bad nights sleep until 2.30am when the bass... More

I see many words about good staff, but i had not so nice experience. I stay in room (18-19 July 2012) when staff from reception come into my room and check MY! bag. Cannot explane why she did not see me in room. After my question "what are you doing?" she told me something about extra cleaning room and run... More

We booked this hotel based on reviews and were not disappointed. We had trouble finding the place, but when we did, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, both at the reception and the pool/breakfast bar. The pool area was nice with sunbeds and palm trees, but if the place is ever full, I imagine it can get very... More

Again, the name of this place could mislead. It has a very narrow frontage onto the main street, which is actually the highway through Khao Lak. The back of the property faces onto an untamed stretch of odorous green river. The bed is quite comfortable and the linen is fine. The airconditioning works well. The TV was fine one day... More

All that for £26 a night. Naturally, at that price, you give up luxury (always a very subjective quality) and location. The resort is located in... More

I stayed there for 2 nights only. Small hotel but worth the price. Friendly staff, small but clean pool, nice pool bar, clean room. Small breakfast. 15 min walk to the beach. About 45 walk to the centre of Khao Lak but cheap taxis are everywhere

Rooms recently renovated, liked it a lot. If you prefer peace and quiet, go for the rooms in the jungle end of the building instead of those closer to the road

I jetted in from NYC to bring in the New Years in Khao Lak, with the purpose of diving the Similans again and to pursue my foodie passion. Motive served as the base during my stay. I have to say that Motive is one of my favorite places to stay when in Khao Lak. I’ve stayed at several places in... More

I live in Thailand and had a friend come in from the US for some diving and travel. We stayed here for two days before a dive trip and two days after. Both stays were great. We had done reservations on Asiaroom and check-in was quick and easy. I had previously contacted the hotel and they had arranged transportation from... More
