I've been here twice with my family, each time whilst travelling through. One time was when we made a trip to the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat and the hotel is located on a lovely beach on Nai Phao Bay. Khanom is part of the province of Nakhon Si Thammarat although it's located just around Donsak's corner, where the ferries to/from Koh Samui arrive and leave.
Although the name raises questions about correct translations, it's a nice place with a beautiful beachfront and on the beach they have a row of wooden beach huts which are usually filled up over the weekend with Thais on a weekend trip.
The beach restaurant in front of the hotel is really good and can be recommended. Rooms are cheap and nothing fancy in the main building but for our purpose they were perfectly all right.
