Perfect little resort in Khao Lak. Easily walkable to a bunch of restaurants and bars. The staff could not be friendlier or more accommodating. Great ocean views and perfectly place pool to watch the sunset. Only thing that could be slightly improved are the stairs leading down to the water.

A gorgeous boutique hotel - not overcrowded, spacious rooms, wonderful staff and wonderful location. Sadly global warming & post tsunami, there is not a beachfront directly in front of the property, but huge long beaches nearby within 50m and the property overlooks the aquamarine sea. The hustle and bustle at the town feels miles away..but again- is only 50-100m behind- just perfect.

Beautiful hotel, overbearing staff
We very much enjoyed our stay at Conghfah. They had a nice breakfast, a lovely pool, and relaxing hammocks. Our room was very spacious and we could see the ocean from our balcony! The one complaint we had was that in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic the staff kept insisting to touch and move our bags, plates, chairs etc., even when we asked them repeatedly to stop. The location allowed us to easily walk to the beach as well as the Tsunami museum and the row of restaurants and shops.

Stayed here with my elderly mum and sister in January 2020. Welcoming, peaceful and very comfortable with excellent, clean rooms and outdoor walkways, pool areas and restaurant. Delicious food and a lovely treat of a special breakfast table for my mum's birthday. Fantastic evening bbq - such a selection of dishes - very good value. Excellent location, near to shops and right on the beach. Lovely, kind staff. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back at some future time. A real gem x

The sea-facing bungalows are wonderful and well worth the extra. The staff were probably the friendliest and most responsive of any place I have visited in Thailand and the variety at breakfast, whether international, Thai, continental or dimsum is impressive. There are also a host of excellent and inexpensive local restaurants within easy walking distance - its just a pity the resort were unable to compete with these. Although fronting the wonderful Andaman Sea, there is only a small beach area accessible from the hotel at high tide, but once the tide goes out, it is possible to walk the entire 4-5 mile stretch of Khao Lak Beach

Very calm place with great staff! I was able to see some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen in my life from the property. The place is great for you if you want to relax or have a romantic stay. It’s right in town so it’s very easy access to all the restaurants and bars in the area.

We stayed here for two weeks. It was wonderful. We stayed in the garden bungalows. Room was spacious and bed large. Had a outside shower and bath too - there is an inside shower too. Pool was fab - infinity pool overlooking the ocean with jacuzzi jets on the other side of the pool. Cocktail hour was spent in the pool drinking. Such fun. Breakfasts were excellent - wide choice from coooing station for any type of eggs, to a selection of different breads, cheese, cold meat. The juices are amazing : passion fruit, guava, watermelon, lychee, papaya and more. The fruit selection is great too - I will miss this each morning that is for sure! Watermelon, papaya, pineapple, melon, mango - yum! Staff were amazing. They go out their way to make you feel special. Call outs are for Zel, Amy, Roger and Yada - but in fairness all staff are excellent. Day trips to Surin Islands (3 snorkelling stops) was outstanding. Excellent visibility and large range of fish seen. Lovely beach stop for lunch. Day trip to the Kam Islands. Beautiful unspoilt beaches and some beaches we were the only ones on it! Lunch was delicious - one of my best meals here in fact. Snorkelling was sadly not possible that day due to poor visibility. However, the upside was that we saw a school of dolphins - not once but twice was we were sailing between the islands! The lunch stop has a view point you can climb too - but be careful as it is slippery but you have lots of tree branches to steady yourself.

Great peaceful location with great staff. The hotel is an oasis of calm in a busy resort, with quality rooms, although the room we were offered overlooked the staff quarters and generator room , rather than the garden or sea, which was disappointing. The rooms were very comfortable.

We loved our stay at Chongfah. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at had no trouble checking in at a ridiculous hour in the morning. Highly recommend the ocean front rooms, we had our own little courtyard overlooking the sea which was lovely and the room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was great, walking distance to heaps of restaurants and the market (highly recommend), and we were able to hire a motorbike from just around the corner to explore further. Customer service was excellent, we did have some trouble communicating with some of the staff as their English wasn’t fantastic but we didn’t mind too much. Would recommend and would stay again if we returned to Khao Lak.

Fabulous!
Chongfah Resort is a lovely oasis on the beach. The rooms are well done, all have a patio with lounge chairs and a table to relax. The rain showers are great (no bath tub in my standard room). They have plants all around the grounds so it feels secluded and natural. The restaurant serves good food and drink. The staff are really what make this place special. They are extremely nice and helpful in booking activities or loaning bikes for free so it is easy to get to the main drag about a mile away. Make sure to enjoy sunset during the happy hour, we had an amazing sunset each night we were there. I highly recommend Chongfah resort! At only 1h20 north of Phuket airport, skip touristy and crowded Phuket and come here.

Beautifully appointed boutique resort.
Found Changf Fah resort to be perfectly positioned, right on the beach and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Close to many restaurants and an easy walk to the markets , basically a great base for exploring. Wonderful facilities and very accommodating and friendly staff. Would recommend the Chongfah omelette from the buffet breakfast.

Lovely hotel.. they have thought of everything
From arrival to departure nothing wasn't too much for the staff.. I loved how the lady showing us to our room showed us how to work everything instead of the usual figure it out yourself.. the pool is spectacular and the views are breathtaking! There is something for everyone at breakfast, I especially enjoyed trying a different juice everyday. I highly recommend the phad Thai and the vanilla milkshakes!! We had a wonderful stay, all the staff were very friendly and polite we would 100% return and recommended!

Breakfast one of the best I've come across anywhere, from chef to make fresh omelettes, pancakes, waffles, they had sushi, fresh fruit, bakery , list goes on.

Excellent boutique resort
When we were planning this holiday in Khao Lak, the reviews for Chongfah resort were very encouraging. So we booked it and were certainly not disappointed. We had a beachfront/seaview bungalow which is probably one of the best hotel rooms I have stayed in. The attention to detail meant you had everything you needed, even a coffee machine!! The bed was brilliant, the view superb, the water is just ten metres from your private patio. The bathroom is enormous and extending onto that is an outdoor spa which had plenty of use from us. The staff here are nothing short of brilliant. They are friendly, welcoming and very keen to make sure everything is ok with your visit. Sometimes through language barriers they get a few things wrong, but they really try so hard, it's not a problem. Everyone is willing to help and if you get stuck with anything, just as 'Pancake' and she will sort it out!! The breakfast has everything you could possibly want, has a massive variety and is also good quality...they even do a pretty good expresso! Cannot recommend the place highly enough!!

Superb location friendly staff clean hotel
Chongfah is a small hotel located approximately 3 Kms from the main road in Khao lak. There are plenty of little bars and restaurants nearby or a taxi costs just £3.50 Pancake was very helpful and friendly, she helped us with anything we needed Everything was great about the hotel. All the staff were so nice Part from the lady who checked us out who was a little miserable. Breakfast was fine, there is everything you need and the setting is beautiful. Food standard at breakfast was just okay, I stuck to banana pancakes as the other choices we a little ropey, however there is plenty of fruit and cereal which were absolutely fine. Wifi does drop on and out but we were visiting g in rainy season so this my have been why. All in all a very pleasant stay and definitely value for money I wouldn't hesitate to sty here again

Good stay
Good hotel. Room was fine and the towel animals were a great touch they actually have a towel folding class on a Tuesday.We did not stay in the beachfront rooms they did look lovely though! We stayed in the main complex of this small boutique hotel the balcony was a good size. The breakfast was good great options on the menu cooked to order - be sure to ask for the menu as it is not always given to you when to sit down. The only thing I would say is that more tropical local fruit at breakfast would be good but maybe it wasn't in season. The pool was amazing overlooking sea. Khao Lak was a bit touristy for us and it was low season so not a huge amount is open but if you are looking to relax its the place to be. Weather was a mixture sunny and dry, sometimes cloudy then the last few days pretty wet to be expected in low season though. You can ask them to install a mosquito net in the room if required.
