The Briza Beach Resort Khao Lak

We self-drove all the way from our home in Kuala Lumpur to Khao Lak. The Briza Beach Resort Khao Lak has a great location, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. It’s very quiet and relaxing during the low season, although it rains almost every day and the sea is quite rough during this period. The room was clean, spacious, and equipped with standard amenities. It’s definitely great value during the low season. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the housekeeping lady who looked after room 827 during my stay. The pool is huge and beautiful — the infinity pool was especially impressive.

When I first arrived on March 20th of this year, I was disappointed to find that there was no beach due to the way the tides hit this property as a result of its corner location. It took about three days to see the beach. At the ocean front area is a concrete pad portion as well as a sandy portion with tables and lounge chairs. Not exactly what I had pictured- I am used to travelling to places where you simply walk out onto the beach. But having said that, Ko Samui is hillier so none of the properties along this section of Chaweng had beachfront access without walking down concrete stairs to access the beach. And once you walked 2 resorts worth of beach over, you found yourself in beautiful water and sandy beaches. I cannot speak for all rooms, but we had the up-down duplex rooms with a walkout, large pool area and we were absolutely thrilled with our rooms- spacious, clean and well appointed- especially the upstairs master suites. The pool was fantastic and mostly ours until the last couple days before we left. What really made our stay were the fantastic staff. On the third day in, my friend, while we were out walking to a restaurant, fell and broke her foot. The staff were all so accommodating- the front end manager even allowed us to use the property wheelchair off the premises so we could wheel her around. She needed cart transport everywhere and the drivers, particularly Tom, were always ready with the cart and a smile. I cannot remember everyone's names but the head chef, Pat from the egg station, Nuda, Jessie, Laila all stand out as do Sak and Ken. While the beach was a bit of a disappointment at first, our beautiful pool, great staff and fun cooking classes took the sting out of a broken foot and altered vacation plans.

Stayed in the Premium Beach Front Room for 5 days. Ask for the upper floor the view is great if staying on the lower floor not such a good view. The room has personal sunbeds. Great location. 15 minutes away from the pier to Similan and Surin Islands. We used Wow Andaman for our trips. Great operator. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores closed by, all walking distance. Breakfast was 3.5 stars. If staying many nights you would get bored of it very easily. Used the pool once because there wasn't any shade and always had lots of sun. The pool was warm not really refreshing to swim in. The only complaint would be the internet WiFi which was really really bad, 1 star for that. If you need the internet for work you are in trouble. Overall 3.75/5 stars.

We were very happy with our stay at The Briza Beach Resort and would definitely love to come back one day 😊🌴 The staff was always extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming – no matter what we needed, everyone was kind and supportive. You really feel appreciated as a guest 💛 We enjoyed our stay so much that we even extended our stay by one more night, which already says everything 👍✨ The location is absolutely unbeatable – with plenty of restaurants, bars and stores within walking distance, everything you need is right around the corner 🍽️🍹 The bathroom is a bit dated and could be cleaner in some areas, but considering the excellent value for money, this is absolutely acceptable and not something to complain about. Overall, we had a great and relaxing stay and can highly recommend this hotel. 🌊🌞

We loved our stay. The swim up pool was great and it had different spots to sunbathe if the shade was on your loungers. You step out on to the beach if the tide isn't high and you can walk the stretch of the beach. And the sunsets were beautiful. It was a little pricey for food and drink so we just went to the local restaurants to eat.
