Hotels near Baan Nam Khem Tsunami Memorial Park, Takua Pa

Beautiful resort. I stayed in a villa - it’s spacious, clean, and nicely designed. The location is convenient, right off the village. There is a restaurant just opposite called the Gold Elephant that I really liked. The dinner in the resort is very expensive so I didn’t try it. The breakfast was good - the kitchen looks amazing. But the selection was personally not my favourite. The coffee station was fabulous though: locally roasted coffee, and the gentleman remembered my order too, as did the host remember my room number - nice touches 😇 The room was lovely - the bedding was so soft and comfortable. Only complaint about the room is that the aircon was not the strongest, and the room is not very well insulated (single-glazed windows, gap around door). The location of the resort being right on the beach is delightful - you can always catch the sunset. The gym was honestly a bit small. If you can get by with just weights and a few machines, you’ll be fine, but an open training space and a multi-use cable machine + barbells would have been great. The space was usually in use by a few guests.

Such a beautiful hotel! The rooms are really cozy, and the view is absolutely stunning! From our room, we could see the pool, garden, sea, and even the jungle. The beach is great, and there are several pools to choose from. Breakfast is served outdoors, which isn't super comfortable in the heat, but it's quite varied with lots of fruit. I do wish they'd upgrade the fitness center to be more modern and add more equipment. Other than that, everything was superb. It's conveniently located close to town with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, yet the area itself is very quiet.

We (wife, myself and 8 year old son) stayed end of March 2026. The hotel was very nice and the staff was very helpful and placed us in a nice room with King size bed and knew us by name. The bedroom had an ocean view + balcony and comfortable bed that fit all 3 of us. We arrived on a Tuesday when they do a weekly firedance. We really enjoyed the infinity pool at sunset where the pool met the ocean and sky. The staff was willing to drive us by golf cart between the 2 sides of the resort to be able to access the whole resort easily. The restaurant food was tasty as well but only complaint was that it was Italian food and we were in Thailand and wanted to eat Thai food. The included buffet breakfast was wonderful with an array of options for everyone and it changed a bit every day we were there (5 nights). For us, the location was not ideal, as you have to take a taxi to get to the town or restaurants and we ended up finding a couple spots we could walk to near the resort (Memories Beach next door) and a small restaurant walking distance. We were delighted to find that there is an Elephant Sanctuary next door to Aspara, walking distance and visiting the elephants was an amazing experience (1000 THB for 3 people and food/milk to feed the elephants). We did a day snorkel trip to Surin National Park and the location was accessible for the pickup to the port. I was unable to use Grab for food or ride service and when we did use taxi, we used the hotel taxi service, which was a bit more expensive than I wanted. The ride to the airport was 2,500 THB for the 3 of us and our bags arranged by hotel. It was nice knowing that the taxi would be there and it was a private ride with AC and plenty of room. There is a river that divides the two sides of the resort and it passes in front of the hotel into the ocean. We were advised not to swim in the river, so we were a bit concerned when crossing it or to swim in the water that is poured into, but we did swim in the water in front of the Memories Beach just adjacent to Aspara. I would recommend Aspara particularly to folks looking for quiet, and prefer to be away from hustle and bustle of city and who don't mind taking a Tuk Tuk to places they want to visit. Great place to go to if you don't want to leave the resort. I would have preferred to be closer to more restaurants (walking distance) but otherwise, the staff, the grounds, the breakfast, everyone was amazing. Enjoy the photos. MN

I stayed at Ananea beyond for two nights during my birthday celebration with my husband. Overall, we had a pleasant and relaxing experience.       The service was excellent, and we were welcomed with genuine smiles from every staff member we encountered. During check-in a short-haired lady at the lobby provided us with a warm welcome, complete information, and professional service. After that, Paul assisted us with our luggage and gave us a detailed introduction to the resort facilities as well as our villa.         One of the highlights of our stay was the Pool Bar. The swimming pool was spacious and very clean. We had the opportunity to try several drinks prepared by Marwin, and they were absolutely delicious. We ended up having 4–6 drinks .He always served us with a friendly smile and showed great passion and attention when preparing our beverages.        Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to experience the Kanda spa. When we checked in  the spa between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, it was closed due to a photo shoot and promotional activities, if I remember correctly. As a result both of us missed the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment during our stay.       The breakfast selection was somewhat limited, although the food tasted good and the restaurant staff provided excellent service.        The resort itself is peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to unwind and escape from work-related stress. Our villa was very spacious and well-equipped with amenities. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. Housekeeping standards were not as detailed as expected. The bed linens had several visible stains from previous use before our arrival. Complimentary bottled water was not replenished during our stay .we only received four bottles for the entire two-night stay. Used drinking glasses were also not replaced. In the evenings, some of the pathways leading back to the villas felt quite dark. Additionally, several villas were undergoing renovation during our visit, and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes around the property.        Despite these minor issues, we had a wonderful stay thanks to the outstanding hospitality of the staff. We appreciate their kindness and dedication

The rooms and pool are big and great, and the staff are friendly. I especially remember the male staff member at Drift who was incredibly kind. The breakfast area felt a bit chaotic, possibly due to some sections being under renovation, and it was quite crowded for its size. On the first day, the table we sat at had ants crawling all over it, birds were flying around eating food from empty tables, and the seats at the far end even smelled of mold. Thankfully, the seating we got the next day was fine. Overall, I was satisfied and plan to return for my vacation next year.

The hotel is a 7-minute walk from the beach. I enjoyed walking to Nang Thong Beach along a dirt road through the abandoned hotel grounds and forest. There you'll see hens and chicks, roosters, cows, and coconut palms. Breakfasts are monotonous. The rooms are large and spacious. There's plenty of seating—two rattan armchairs, two chairs, and a stool—a rarity in Thailand. There's a large TV where you can watch your own movies from a USB drive. There's hot water! I loved everything.

A luxurious hotel, the best one we've stayed at in Thailand. You feel like a millionaire here! The restaurant by the water is a bit pricey, but the one by the sea is fantastic. We visited during the off-season, so there was a nice breeze. The hotel grounds are home to a couple of monitor lizards, birds, and fish. Evenings are beautiful with live music playing. There are a lot of Europeans around. The grounds are extensive, and the kids' pool is great. However, the waterslides close early, and you can only swim in the pool until 7 PM. We often only got back to the hotel around that time and wished we could swim in the pool when it was already dark on the beach. But, overall, it's a superb hotel, and I'd gladly spend another week here. Nearby, there's a waterfall and a turtle sanctuary, and you can go bamboo rafting. The kids loved it, and so did we!

Great price, and the accommodation is right on the main road. I called ahead to check in early, and the staff were excellent, very smiley. The housekeeper had even turned on the air conditioning for me. The room was spacious, as was the bathtub. The bathroom water pressure was good and strong, and the shower was fantastic. The only slight issue was a faint smell in the bathroom because the water didn't drain properly; the floor wasn't sloped towards the drain. The bed was huge, and they provided plenty of pillows. However, the pillows were quite firm and dense, so if you prefer softer pillows like I do, you might need to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Breakfast was à la carte, with traditional pork congee that you could order more of, plus one glass of a brewed drink. There was also a small buffet with some Thai dishes. The food was delicious.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay. The hotel team went above and beyond to arrange a special room setup for my trip, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and thoughtful surprises made my experience truly memorable. I am deeply grateful to the entire hotel team for making this trip so special. Thank you for your outstanding service and for creating such beautiful memories. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning again in the future.

It has everything: direct beach access, a picturesque stream, and even a lake. The rooms are very clean, modern, and truly meet the standards of a 5-star hotel. Daily housekeeping ensures impeccable cleanliness. The charming bridges connecting different parts of the property add a special touch. Walking across them feels like being in untouched jungles. The beach is well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there’s a cozy beachside café nearby where you can have lunch or dinner while enjoying the sea view. The resort’s territory is full of life: you’ll see many butterflies and even friendly monitor lizards wandering around, adding to the tropical paradise vibe. Cons: Breakfasts could be more varied, especially in terms of fresh pastries. Good to know: The nearest 7/11 or town café is about a 15-minute walk away (there’s a sidewalk). If you prefer not to walk, a taxi costs 100 baht. The closest self-service laundry is a 15-minute drive away (400 baht). Overall, Khaolak Wanaburee Resort is a perfect choice for those looking to relax in harmony with nature while enjoying comfort and quality service. Highly recommended!
