“Peaceful, Pristine, Perfection”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

When searching for a place to stay in Khao Lak a previous respondent called the Riverside a hidden jewel and how true that is, a glittering jewel. The owners, Bruno & Markus, along with their staff were welcoming & happy to be of assistance in any way. The rooms, swimming pool and grounds are immaculate & well thought out. There is such an atmosphere of peace & tranquility about the resort which just lends itself to relaxation.
The location is excellent too, being a short walk to the beach, restaurants, bars & shops - Aroy beach bar/restaurant & Chula Indian restaurant being particularly deserving of mention.
If you want to get up first thing in the morning to reserve a sunbed with your towel, be crowded & be a faceless room number, then The Riverside is not for you. If on the other hand you want space and to feel a welcomed guest, then you cannot do better than to stay at The Riverside.
Markus, Bruno and the team our thanks for making our holiday wonderful. Dorothy & David

Room Tip: Every room immaculate with sea view

“little slice of tranquility and relaxation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Marcus greeted us after a long day of travel and i Promptly dumped my car in a ditch.
No Problem!!! Marcus bought me a drink to calm down and remedied the situation.
From then on we enjoyed He and Bruno's attentive service and exquisite resort.
My wife and I felt very lucky to have stayed at such a beautiful place.

“Great choice in Khao Lak”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Our family stayed at the Khao Lak Riverside Resort for a week in mid January. The hotel property is beautiful and well-maintained. It is about a 10-15 minute walk into town, where there are a few convenience stores, places for laundry, and restaurants. Bruno and Markus, the owners, were friendly and always available to help. The staff was friendly as well, particularly taking interest in our daughter, helping to keep her entertained. We ate at the hotel two nights and the food was thoughtfully prepared. The resort is a short walk to the beach where one can find numerous Thai food stands/beach front restaurants. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay!

“Perfect Hotel for a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This is a very unassuming Hotel. It is very well presented, new and spotlessly clean and quite.

It is set within a few minutes walk of a very safe beach. There are very good massage tables set up, all very good and clean. There are a few major brand hotels who use the same stretch of beach but it is still very quite and uncrowded. I am guessing they paid a lot more than we did staying at the Riverside and I have no doubt that the accomodation would not have been as good.

There are numerous local restruants within 10 minutes walk from the hotel and many beach restaurants within 5 min.

In short if Khao Lak is your destination of choice you could not get a better place to stay. Great value for money.

“Highly recommended hotel...simply stunning”

We have been to many places around the world and have instantly put this place in our top three hotels visited. It is in a stunning, quiet and beautiful authentic setting at. The junction of a small river and the sea and beach where local fisherman tend their boats. We also saw the wildlife (sea eagles, kites) but also took a kayak for short trip upstream where we also saw kingfishers. Markus, Bruno and the team here cannot be any more helpful and the quality of everything from the standard and cleanlines of the rooms to the great breakfasts and high quality evening dining make this place well worth a visit. I particularly like the fact that you can have a really quiet and relaxing time on site whilst all the usual 'Thai treats' are only a stroll or short taxi ride away. If you want to be particularly lazy Markus can arrange everything from the hotel from excellent dive trips to a new suit! Give this place a try you will not be disappointed

Room Tip: This place is very new so all the rooms are of a high standard and all have great views from what I...
