  Muy recomendable

  Hotel bien situado en la zona de Khao lak. Habitaciones amplias y cómodas. Zona muy tranquila y segura. Destino completo. Cerca de varias playas y de un mercado, así como de muchas tiendas y restaurante. Personal excelente. Calidad precio esta muy bien.

  Terrible

  We spent 3 days at this resort. We were supposed to stay for 11 days, but were lucky to find something else for the remaining 8 days. The resort is located around 6km alway from the beach. Therefor if youre going on a look a beach-vacation this is not the place for you. Motive is close to the Main Street, so expect a lot traffic noise. Lets start at the bathroom; - There was no sope to wash your hands with - No towels to dry your hands - only toilet paper - Our hair got greasy and stif whilst in the shower (wonder where that water came from) - No shower curtain so expect water to be everywhere - There was a shower-rug on the floor in the bathroom, and when the staff cleaned the room, they put the same dirty rug on the toilet every day - There was a window from the bathroom to the main room that couldnt be closed. - The bathroom door was nearly impossible to close and lock. The main room: - The floor was in a bad shape, and made a lot of noise when you walked on it. It was also dirty. - The AC worket slow and was very loud. It was also placed on the side of the bed, so that the air blows right at you when you sleep. - The mattress was very hard, and so was the pillow. - There was no chairs outside that you can sit on, only a dirty sitting group of pillows on the floor inside. The breakfast was really not that good. They served warm milk, ham in som kind of water, curry, a soup and eggs if requested. If youre lucky youll get some fruit. We also experienced the staff yelling at someone for taking a pice of watermelon out of the breakfast area. The only positive thing about this place was that you get two small waterbotles every day (as every other place in Thailand).

  Just ok

  Spent a month at motive cottage. It's in what was for us a good location as we hired a motorbike And was handy for pretty much everywhere. A bit far from the beach (about 20 mins walk) but it is a short walk to the bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is a bit dated and although cleaners were changing towels etc I don't think much cleaning was done. Breakfast was truly awfully ,was OK for a couple of days then got very repetitive, had done my research beforehand on tp and lots of people saying great food bacon, curry soup ,thai noodles and so on but we saw none of this. If your thinking of staying here please do not waste your money on the breakfast option. Hotel staff were OK but seemed very disinterested, lucky to get a smile. About three weeks in to our holiday we decided we had had enough and booked into another hotel for a few days, was like a breath of fresh air, a holiday on holiday, but the difference in quality was obvious. I feel I may be being a little harsh as I have stayed in much worse hotels around the world but with a little improvement motive could be really very good. Good tip if your hiring a scooter, 5 star bike rental just over the road. Very friendly, good price and good bikes. A very professional outfit. If you,ve never been to khao lak before then your in for a treat, great beaches, great food and great people.

  Appalling avoid at all cost

  We have just moved after been at motive for 1 night the worst night we have ever had at a hotel ever as follows . Last night and this morning - because the walls of this hotel are so thin, my children were subjected to hours of rampant sex cries , moans & skin slapping noises, with the bed banging and squeaking for hours up until 1.30am last night and then again this morning it woke us up at 9am as they were at it again My 9 year old daughter was so uncomfortable with this she was in tears and very confused - the walls are so thin you could hear intimate details , skin slapping and heavy breathing with sex talk , it was embarrassing and scary for both my children we could hear everything through the paper thin walls. It was extremely awkward, very uncomfortable and an unpleasant experience . Just as that stopped last night at 1.30, a noisy family came back to the room on the other side, loud talking, baby crying and they put the TV on at volume- again, because the walls are so thin, there was no escape from it. Finally we managed to fall asleep only to be woken again at 4am by the baby screaming. We tried to talk to 2 different people about it at reception but they just shrugged theres shoulders didnt offer to move our room or a refund no help whatsoever . We have tried to raise it with agoda repeatedly but they are not interested and just offered me a £40 credit on our next booking and have still charged us £455 as we left the hotel early and said its the hotels policy not theres even though we paid agoda in full before hand . To top it off the extra bed my son had been given ( which cost £13 a day ) was literally so hard it was like a block of concrete and the blanket had several holes in it. This was a terrible night of sleep as we were trapped in the room between the loud sex and the screaming baby. I understand these things go on in private, but the walls are so thin, you cannot get away from what is going on next door and children (nor adults!) should not have to be subjected to someone elses intimate sex noises . It meant the holiday had started with a unpleasant experience that made it feel more like torture than a holiday and there is no way I would let my children stay in that environment again ( surely any decent parent would agree with me ? ) . None of us wanted to return to that hotel as things that should be private cannot be private in that hotel because the walls are obviously so thin . On top of this the hotel is in a very poor state and needs to be refurbished throughout . The rooms are dark & dingy and the mattresses are like solid planks . The shower is very poor and makes the whole bathroom wet and the floor like a ice rink . The pool has so much chemicals in it after swimming for half an hour my throat went totally dry and I had trouble swallowing and my sons as well ( we have never had this before at any pool ) - throat was fine as soon as we left the pool . Do not subject yourself to this just book somewhere else.
