A very special place which was the highlight of our holiday. Unspoilt beaches, a lush tropical location, friendly, relaxed and great value. If you want to escape everything for a few days and see what Khao Lak would have been like ten years ago this is the place.

Very efficient.

Accommodation and facilities:
A peaceful paradise! Quiet nice beach that stretches for miles. Perfect for a relaxing/romantic holiday!
The hotel is very nice, good standard with comfortable well-designed villas in a wonderful garden/jungle setting. Can recommend the villa with an outdoor shower! TV channels were very few and boring (if you are jetlagged and cannot sleep at night there is nothing to watch).
The hotel restaurant closes at ca 22.30 and the local restaurants in the surrounding are also closed at night. So do not expect much to do in the evening!
Daytime you can book a snorkling trip and hotel provides a bike and a free daily charter to Kao Lak.
The hotel staff is really friendly, despite communication problems at times, they are really helpful and genuinely nice.
Breakfast and food overall is good.
Try the hotel spa, situated in a beautiful calm outdoor setting.
I can really recommend Haadson!

Stayed at the Haadson resort for 6 nights over New Year. Lovely hotel for escaping it all, but not for those who want facilities included and nearby. Set by a beautiful beach mainly used by locals, it s a good opportunity to mix with real Thais in their own surroundings. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. No complaints.
Reservation service:
Helpful and efficient, would use Sawadee.com again.

Accommodation and facilities:
This is exactly what we wanted. The Haadson is small, quiet, and ideal for people wanting to get away, relax and enjoy the quieter side of beach life in the Khao Lak area. The staff are very friendly and efficient, the accommodation was comfortable and the food excellent. There is a nice pool, but the beach is meters away with a quite stretch of coast to enjoy. I would highly recommend the Haadson to anybody looking for a slightly less commercial getaway away of the larger cities. My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and were looked after very well. We will definitely be visiting again in the future.
Reservation service:
Perfect. Everything was in order, the airport transfers were on time and comfortable. We were in good hands and will be sure to use this service for our next trip.

We thoughroully enjoyed our time here, although it was the end of the high season we managed to have the resort to ourselves ( well 6 persons at any one time there) :-) The only feedback I can offer is that the command of English needs to be improved in the restaurant & front desk. Apart from that we were very satisfied with our stay and would strongly recommend this resort for a quiet & relaxing vacation.

Accommodation and facilities:
What a beautiful place! You can have Bangsak beach all for yourself, there are no other hotels nearby, only some locals visiting the beach during the weekends (which is nice!). Unfortunately the beach is not for snorkeling, but most of the other beaches have the same problem.
The resort if very quiet and made for relaxing. Don t expect night life, the only thing you can do in the evenings is to choose the hotel restaurant (ok) or one of the local restaurants just outside the hotel, at the front of the beach (I do recommend, so tasty, so cheap).
During the day there is a free shuttle to the centre of Khao Lak, where you can go and check the other turists (if you want) and do some quick shopping. Otherwise I do recommend renting a car, the traffic around Khao Lak area is not too bad, just go there and drive, you ll be ok!
The resort rooms are very basic with nice contemporary style, hint of thai decoration. Airconditioning was very loud, but well, you need it, you get used to it. Our baby got a small flu from the aircon, but otherwise the place was very baby-friendly, we got a nice bed for her and mosquito-net when asked. And the hotel staff were very nice for us and the baby, all the time.
So, the place is good for couples and families, but I would not go there alone or with girl-friends (no party!)!
Breakfast was ok, served in a beatiful seaside terrace. The most beautiful thing for me was after all the GARDEN, it was very well kept and so nice.
I do recommend this hotel for everybody who wants a quiet holiday, not big tourist crouds, peaceful nature and beautiful beach - with a small touch of local life.

Lovely hotel. About 20 mins from Khao Lak town (300bht either way from the Hotel or 400bht if going from the town). We were after a relaxing holiday away from everything and got what we wanted and more. Not for those looking for a party place but beautifully serene with lovely staff. We will be back!
