The Waters resort has a unique atmosphere as it feels more like a Western escape rather than a traditional Thai getaway. While the facilities, particularly the pools and gym, are well-maintained, my experiences with the rooms were less than favorable due to their outdated conditions and occasional flooding. The dining, although satisfactory, offers a Western-focused breakfast buffet that lacks true Thai flair. Overall, it's not a bad stay, but you'd have to weigh the cost against the experience.

My trip to Khao Lak was unforgettable! The Waters resort offered a unique experience with its spacious pool access rooms and a breakfast buffet that left nothing to be desired. The charm of the local restaurants nearby added to the peaceful ambiance, although the Bay Wing's conditions were less appealing. Overall, I loved the friendly atmosphere and the excellent dining options, making it well worth the visit despite a few shortcomings.

I had a lovely stay at The Waters, where the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast options were fantastic and kept us satisfied each morning. While the hotel is well-located near the beach, I found the rooms slightly dated and could use some refreshing. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there are certainly nicer hotels available at similar prices.
