We stayed at Shambhala one night before and four nights after our liveaboard dive trip and we were very happy with the choice. The staff was extremely attentive and tailored the stay to our needs. Due to some of our early morning departures they were happy to prepare an early breakfast for us, they where very helpful with transfers, laundry... More

Just a quick note to back up all the other reviews. This was our last stop in Thailand and we definitely left on a high note. The resort is lovely and chilled and the infinity pool is just gorgeous. We stayed in a normal delux room upstairs which was big and very clean with a proper big double bed. I... More

We stayed for five nights in March and really enjoyed our time. Right on the beach with its own small restaurant that provided as much included breakfast as you liked, and the meals we ate there in the evening were as good as any we had during our trip to Thailand. The staff were friendly and helpful. When I left... More

Stayed for one week in March 2013, great beach front room, good food. Miles of sandy beach to walk on. Found a little bar on the beach called Lek's Bar, quite unique. If you want to kick back in great surrounds, this is the place.

This was such an awesome place to stay! I almost don't want to say too many things about it so I can keep it as my best kept secret. It is obvious that this is a wonderful place to stay by the fact that a lot of the guests we met there are "repeat guests" that come back every year.... More

We booked this hotel for a week for my husband and I and our one year old son. We were a little nervous as to whether the hotel would cater for toddlers given it is so small but everything was fine, they have a cot for the room and high chairs in the restaurant. They are happy to accommodate the... More

A real Thai "home from home"! Hong, Tuk, Ou and their team make everyone so welcome, nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic food, great sea front rooms and wonderfully peaceful. Brilliant market just up the road. Thai massages are good too. Everything about Shambhala comes highly recommended.

we already miss Shambhala and khao lak, this is a winner and we realize now that we continued our travel in Thailand. the resort is family run and the owner/manager is Ms Hong a super friendly, charming, capable woman that personalizes the experience as she explains the Sabai Sabai philosophy which gives name to the restaurant, with other staff one...
