Independent, Ko Phra Thong hotels

"We had a wonderful stay here! The pictures don’t do the hotel justice. It’s outside of Khao Lak centre which was perfect for us - easy to reach lots of amazing sights and local restaurants by taxi. The family rooms are huge and beautifully appointed with separate spaces for kids’ bunk beds and big balconies. The service was wonderful - especially in the main restaurant, at Rosalyn Spa and the lovely kids club. The pools are the highlight though. They wind their way through the hotel, inc. kids pools, slides and splash pads. "

"LE MENARA’s gentle authentic charm offered the perfect retreat of comfort for us to recharge. We woke up each morning to pleasant birdsong and were welcomed by the shimmering blue of their 130m swimming pool as we enjoyed our morning swim. Whether we explored the area by foot as waves lapped at our feet, or took a scenic ride to the nearest shop or activity, LE MENARA is conveniently situated. The poolside villa we stayed at was very comfortable and spacious, always refreshed to our liking. We marvelled at the bespoke hand-painted murals which echoed the hotel’s natural surroundings, and we adored the faint happy chirping of baby sparrows outside our roof! The service is exceptional - they deliver our every request with efficiency and gentle friendly smiles. What distinguishes LE MENARA far above any standardised 5-star hotel is their attentiveness and that consistent authentic personal touch - they thoughtfully tailored every detail to our preference. If you are looking for an authentic retreat to recharge, we recommend this hotel as our top choice - for its quality, and the tranquility in the atmosphere at LE MENARA is simply magical. A very special mention to the hotel manager, Marco, who is tirelessly dedicated to the hotel. This was our 5th visit & we didn’t think it could get better, but it did! He nurtures a multicultural staff with efficiency, excellence, discipline and kindness. We enjoyed every moment!! You’re missing out if you haven’t been to this gem!"
