X10 Khaolak Resort Review
X10 Khaolak Resort is a popular hotel located on Bang Niang Beach, just a few kilometres south of the lively Ban Niang Town, where restaurants, beach clubs and night markets are. The hotel is modern and very popular, with no less than 5 swimming pools, 2 restaurants and a kids club. The hotel is modern and the rooms are very well-equipped, clean and modern. X10 Khaolak Resort was the perfect base for our 4 days exploration of the many beaches of Khao Lak!

The Beach
The beach in front of the hotel is quiet and beautiful, perfect for swimming during the day, and leisurely strolls at sunset time! It is good to know that the hotel is a few meters away from the beach and there are tall trees in between, so the view is a bit obstructed. We enjoyed walking on the soft sand early morning before driving out, and later to enjoy a beautiful sunset with a cold drink in hand!
The Restaurants
The are two restaurants at X10 Khaolak Resort: Seaside Seafood Kitchen and The Main Restaurant.
Seaside Seafood Kitchen
Seaside Seafood Kitchen near the beach offers a la carte seafood dishes and other Thai and international dishes, with a huge terrace between the main pool and the beach. Since the main restaurant is always bustling, Seaside Seafood Kitchen is a good alternative for a more peaceful dinner. Part of the restaurant, the bar near the beach is one of the most attractive spots of the hotel, perfect for having a drink before dinner as the day ends. The team is super friendly and makes you feel at home.
The Main Restaurant
The Main Restaurant, with an easy name to remember, is where we had our copious breakfast from a vast buffet. There are so many dishes from so many origins to choose from, it is really a treat. Note that the restaurant can get really busy after 9 am, so come early if you prefer it quiet. The only downside (for our taste) is that they don’t serve espresso at breakfast. You can order and pay for one from the bar but it’s still just hot long coffee.
During the day and for dinner, The Main Restaurant serves a good choice of Western food, and of course, Thai cuisine.
The Rooms
The hotel has 10 room types to choose from, divided into two wings.
The Family Wing is where the reception area is, about 300 metres from the beach and has 4 room types: Deluxe, Deluxe Triple, Deluxe Pool Views, and Kids Suite designed for families with children.
The Beach Wing is closer to the sea and offers swimming pool views: Deluxe, Deluxe Pool Views, Deluxe Pool Access, Kids Suites, Two-Bedroom Suites and large Couple Suites
The Couple Suite in Beach Wing
We were lucky and got upgraded to a Couple Suite, an oversized room consisting of two rooms with a balcony overlooking the pool, a large bathroom and a convenient kitchen corner with a dining area. The living room comes with an L-shaped sofa facing a very large TV with plenty of channels with movies and news in a vast choice of languages. The kitchen corner has a large fridge, a microwave and what is most important to us: an espresso machine with lots of capsules! (hotels usually only give away a couple of capsules, but X10 refilled 8 of them each day.
The bathroom is large, with a big bathtub and separate shower, plus all the usual amenities you usually find next to the sink.
Facilities
X10 Khaolak Resort has a dedicated Kids Club where children can have fun and participate in supervised activities. The kids’ pool with sliders and water fountains is very popular with kids and their parents. Other facilities include a fitness room, a spa and a convenience store, which is a welcomed feature since the hotel is a 700-meter walk from any shop.
