To round off my 5-week holiday (which...
To round off my 5-week holiday (which included visiting friends and family in Thailand), I opted for a week of peace and quiet and found it at the Mukdara Resort in Khao Lak. I wanted a beachfront location and as I visited during the rainy season, I got a great deal on one of the honeymoon suites, which are the only villas on the beach (unless you want to splurge for the presidential suite, which has its own pool). The Mukdara is a gorgeous resort with lovely and very well maintained landscaping and with a very large main pool in the gardens and another large pool on the beach (used by most of the guests, leaving the main pool practically unused). The honeymoon suite is lovely, the bathroom has large jacuzzi with a great view of the beach. There is a separate rain shower and a separate toilet and two large his-and-hers wash basins .
The staff was very friendly (in the beach restaurant and at the front desk) and very helpful. Breakfast choices are plentiful, and although the Thai food is good (albeit a little pricey by Thai standards, but by European standards still inexpensive), the number of choices were a little disappointing and seemed to be outnumbered by European cuisine choices. The few guests present were mostly German, which might explain why the restaurant staff often played the same German Schlager CD -- a music choice that I feel does not befit a 4-5 * resort and does not make the non-German guests feel welcome. I would have opted for no music at all. You don't need that kind of distraction with the lovely beach right in front of you!
I also treated myself to several spa treatments during my stay (easy enough to do, given the 40% low season discount) and thoroughly enjoyed being pampered by professionals.
If you choose to stay at the Mukdara for more than a couple of days, I would recommend renting a motorbike (hotel reception). This will broaden your choices of restaurants and you can drop off your laundry at one of the places on the main road. There are plenty of 7-11s on the main road and you'll find a reasonable selection of restaurants, shops, tailors in the main village.
If you seek bright lights and night life, you're better off in Phuket, but if you enjoy tranquillity in a lovely setting, then you'll be happy at the Mukdara!
I stayed at Mukdara with my family...
I stayed at Mukdara with my family in a Villa in June 2007 for 7 nights. It was one of the best places that I have ever stayed. The facilities are amazing and the staff go out of their way to make your holiday enjoyable. The beach is fantastic and the resturant serves excellent food and there is a cheap shuttle offered to town which is a 5 minute drive away. The massage service was excellent and there are other services nearby such as a mini-mart, cheap massages and laundry services. This resort has the best pool that I have seen at a resort in Thailand. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay with a 5 month infant so memorable. We will be back :)

I've stayed at this fine resort on December 2006, in the Villa Jacuzzi room. The room was very nice, large and clean and with helpful electronic devices (DVD+MP3+WMA player).
The resort is also large, quiet and with several large swimming pools, and direct to the sea.
Only two negative notes: the water of the Jacuzzi bathtub came almost coffee like coloured and the hot water (provided from a solar panel) tends to finish quickly. Apart this, I suggest this hotel absolutely.
We stayed in a garden villa, which...
We stayed in a garden villa, which was large and very clean. These villas are extremely good value given the standard of this hotel. The main hotel swimming pool is huge, as are the bathrooms. All of the staff, from the front desk to the waiting staff in the restaurant, were extremely polite and courteous (something that is not always evident in hotels in Thailand). The staff also brought us a very good cot for our baby. Generally, the resort seemed to be extremely child-friendly.
The hotel restaurant was very good. Unlike many four or five star hotels with a captive hotel audience, this restaurant actually made an effort with its food. We had some Thai food here which was good value given the quality of the ingredients, and tasty too.
I would definitely give this resort a thumbs up.
