The beachfront, luxury Robinson Club Khao Lak, about 15 minutes from Khao Lak, sits on beautiful, well-manicured grounds with pools that include waterfalls, slides, and palm islands. The 223 rooms have terraces, and are spacious and elegantly designed, especially the bathrooms. Garden Pool Villas are farther away from the resort's main facilities (the hotel does provide buggy service), but they have private pools and offer more seclusion.
Scene
Well-manicured grounds but beach could be better maintained
The Robison Club's lobby, with its high, dark-wood-vaulted ceiling, hanging lights, and marble flooring cuts an impressive scene. The manicured grounds include ponds with Buddhist-stupa-like structures. One of the pools is wide curved and oval-shaped, and sits close to the sea, and pool islands, with palm trees and waterfalls, channel into smaller pools with wooden bridges and slides. Clientele is predominantly couples and families, but the Robinson Club is also popular with package tour groups, especially from Australia.
Location
A relatively isolated beachfront setting, about a 15-minute drive to Khao Lak
Set on a major but quiet road, this beachfront resort is in a peaceful area surrounded by greenery. Massage, laundry, and taxi services are within an easy walk along the beach, but the resort is relatively isolated, and the center of Khao Lak is a 15-minute drive away. The resort is a 90-minute drive to Phuket International Airport.
