La Vela

This is a large resort-style hotel with beautifully maintained common areas and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts truly stood out — varied, fresh, and absolutely delicious each morning. The rooms themselves are attractive, comfortable, and well equipped, and the hotel’s mobile app is a fantastic feature that makes communication with staff quick and easy. Unfortunately, the spa experience did not live up to the same standard. The massages were very average, and I would recommend seeking spa treatments outside the hotel instead. The biggest issue, however, was the terrible smell of dampness in the rooms. During our two-week stay, we had to change rooms three times across different sections of the resort due to the odor. We eventually stayed in the “least bad” option, but even so, all of our belongings — including clothes and bags — required intensive washing after we returned home. This is simply unacceptable for a hotel at this price level. Regrettably, we will not be returning.

We stayed for 2 nights and had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The room was spacious and stylish with a beautiful pool and palm tree view. The resort was peaceful, never crowded, and surrounded by lush greenery, with stunning beach access and sunset views. Breakfast was very good, and we really enjoyed dinner at the beachfront restaurant — delicious food at a reasonable price. We also enjoyed a spa treatment, which was incredibly relaxing. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back again 🤍🌴

This hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the weather in Khao Lak, Thailand is amazing. The sun is warm, the sea breeze is gentle, and when you wake up in the morning and step onto the balcony of your hotel room, you’re greeted by the shimmering blue of the pool below—clear, calming, and incredibly inviting. It feels like walking straight into a commercial or a travel film. So relaxing. I really love it and highly recommend it.

I forgot to write this! We stayed at La Vela from 17th October 2025 to 30th October 2025. Our flight was Emirates from Manchester - Dubai - Phuket. The hotel was amazing. Many pools to choose from. Kokulo beach club is on the main sea front and serves cocktails and meals which are very good. Hotel receptionist Pang was very kind enough to take my photos on the viewpoint area so if she could read this I would be very appreciative!! :) all the staff in the hotel were very friendly. Food was good in the breakfast area too, lot of different cuisine ranging from traditionally western dishes to more eastern Asian cuisine. I think we stayed in room 3342 and it was amazing too. The balcony area was really nice, very spacious and the cleaners were very proactive in being efficient. One of the best hotels/holidays I’ve been on so far.

We stayed at La Vela Resort in a Sea View Deluxe Room on level 3. The view wasn’t quite what was shown in the website photos — only the top floor offers panoramic views. However, everything else about the resort was excellent! The resort itself is beautiful and very well maintained, with several pools — some exclusively for adults, which made it perfect for relaxing in peace. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with so many options to choose from! The room had a huge bath on the balcony (not a spa), comfortable beds, and a great shower with three different settings — almost like a spa experience. The TV is smart but not HD, which would’ve been a nice touch. What really made our stay special was the friendly and helpful staff, especially Amp, Jane (the lovely Filipino girl — I hope I spelled your name right!), and Mae, our cleaner. They truly made us feel welcome. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable stay!
