I stayed both here and at the Ramada closer to Khao Lak. I like the deserted beaches at Bang Sak. There is a van that does go into town for a few hours if needed. There are a few restaurants - I only tried Khai's Seafood Restaurant, which is essentially a small shack with a few tables, family run, and I believe that I had conversations with Khai himself. Food was good and the price was right. The hotel food is much higher and was alright. From my room, the walk to the beach/pool was a decent distance and took a few minutes - not that the beach is not on the resorts grounds, but there are three long buildings, end to end, so if you are in the first building closest to reception and the main road as I was, it was a walk, but good exercise.
