My husband and I found this hotel by default whilst reading someone's report on another hotel in Khao Lak - Thankyou so much.......what a find!
We stayed for 6 nights to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the sad moment we had to leave, we were made to feel so special. (p.s. in my opinion, it is worth paying the extra to have the hotel collect you from the airport).
We had a beachfront bungalow and it was fantastic, the view from our room was amazing, and the sound of the waves just magical, if not a little scarey through the night!!
The bed was soooo big and comfy and the outdoor jacuzzi bath lovely - tea and coffee and mini bar also excellent, with affordable mini bar prices, unlike hotels in the uk! The complimentary water was also a nice extra.
The food was fantastic, we mainly ate in the hotel, breakfasts - something for everyone, and they even made a different drink each morning with ginger, lemongrass etc. with a wee note telling you how it was made and the benefits of it!!
The buffets in the evening are wonderful and they even do a great pizza!!
Only disappointment for us was the cost and standard of the wine - we treated ourselves to a bottle one evening over £30, and it really was quite horrid, however, we knew this before we went - thanks to other reviewers, and the lovely cocktails made up for that.
The pool and beach were wonderful, and the whole ambience of Chong Fah is very relaxing.
We did a few walks around the little sleepy town, but there was not much happening and, to be honest, it was nice to return to "our haven".
Onto the lovely staff who "made" our holiday.
From booking direct with Bow, to the driver at the airport, to the bar staff, the lovely maids, the groundsmen, the reception staff, the chefs. These lovely people are the BEST. We have never had service like this anywhere. They even called us by our first names.
Our room was decorated on 3 ocassions for our anniversary, and we were given a gift on the day - how lovely, how thoughtful.
We were very sad to leave this fantastic hotel and all the lovely staff, but left feeling totally relaxed. Hopefully, we will return one day.
Now home, we miss the wonderful sunsets and cocktails!!
Thankyou Chong Fah for making our anniversary so special.
Room Tip: Beach front bungalows worth the extra.
Perfect for quiet, relaxing holiday, but not for partying!
