Stayed at The Little Shore for just under 2 weeks and it was by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. The hotel including our room, pool area, restaurants etc were all perfect, the attention to detail was amazing and I would highly recommend and definitely go back there. And every staff member we met were really kind and lovely.

The location is great because its a short walk to Khao Lak shops and for massages, right on the beach, 10 mins ride to Bang Niam markets and provides wonderful facilities for guests. Food and drinks were at the expected hotel pricing. The rooms with pools are wonderful and private. The main pool and area have a lovely view of the sea.

Amazing Stay in Khao Lak

An amazing stay in the Adults Only Villa. The service was second to none, and the hotel itself was beautiful. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the bed is huge and very comfortable. We will certainly stay here again and will be back. The staff are all amazing. There are too many to mention, but a special thanks to Tom, Jerry and Nescafe. Always polite, friendly and smiling.

Beachfront location. About a 10min walk to the shopping area but hotel provides frew buggy transport. Bit expensive to eat and drink in the hotel compared to local restaurants/bars. Hotel room well stocked with toiletries, hairdryer, coffee machine etc and minibar (but only the water free). Staff are fantastic especially Wallie and Tea. Quieter area of Khao Lak compared to the Bang Niang area but only a short taxi/tuk tuk ride away.

The Little Shore Khao Lak by Katathani is equivalent to a Four Seasons but at a fraction of the cost. The Resort is new clean and impeccably appointed. The staff were very respectful and friendly. The Resort is very convenient to the small town of Khao Lak. The only issue we had was that the beach is not the greatest. It's OK but quite a bit of trash washes up on shore from Myanmar and some of the neigboring Islands. I highly recommend this resort if you want to visit the Similan or Surin Islands. The Diving around Richelieu Rock and the Similan Islands is world class the only issue I had was the visibility was only about 15 to 20 meters. I will definitely stay at this resort on my next trip to Thailand!

A Wonderful Romantic Stay in Khao Lak

We feel so lucky that we found this little gem in Khao Lak. It offers both suites and villas, and is spacious and beachfront. The overall setting is romantically beautiful. We especially love the pool villas with the direct access to the main pool. The sun loungers are perfect for sunbathing, and we appreciate the in-room breakfast with its wide selection, from healthy to hearty options. We absolutely love this place and would definitely come back for sure.

This property’s prime location right on the beach, with private beach access, is undoubtedly its biggest draw. The amenities, including a gym and a kids’ room, are excellent and add to the overall appeal. However, the rooms are quite small for the price you pay, which is disappointing. We booked the Sea View Pool Suite, expecting a premium experience. Initially, we were given a suite on the second floor, located in the middle of the property, directly opposite the main pool and gym. The constant foot traffic meant our private pool didn’t feel private at all. After raising the issue, we were moved to a better room the following day, with improved views and much more privacy, which made a big difference. However, even this suite felt cramped for the price. Room service was another disappointment—waiting 30-45 minutes for a couple of plates is far too long for a property of this standard. Overall, if beach proximity and private beach access are your top priorities, this property delivers. But considering the small rooms, delayed service, and price point, there are likely better alternatives to explore.
