Amazing
RRaven Kien DoriaWe had a truly fantastic stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options to start the day right, and the amenities were absolutely fantastic, we had everything we needed and more. A special thanks to K. Snow at the front desk for going above and beyond during our check-in. Even though our booking wasn’t yet in the system, she made sure everything was arranged quickly and smoothly, allowing us to check in early without any hassle. Her professionalism and kindness really stood out. We also want to give a big shout out to K. Nat from the recreation team. She made sure we had a great time during the activities, always cheering us on during bowling and checking in on us while we played badminton to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Every time we passed by someone, they greeted us with a smile, which made us feel truly valued and at home. I will definitely be coming back to this hotel on my next holiday. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay!
AAnthony w BridgesReview of the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa
This resort is a beautiful 5-star destination that offers a truly relaxing experience, especially when it's not hosting large events. The rooms are fantastic, providing a comfortable and luxurious base for your stay.
The restaurants offer great value, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. A slight exception is the steakhouse, which, while good, feels a little overpriced for what it offers.
The resort's swimming pools are a highlight, particularly the stunning adult-only pool, which is perfect for unwinding. The resort's location is a bit isolated, so be prepared for that, but it contributes to the peaceful atmosphere.
The staff is generally excellent, and special mention goes to Khun Bee, who manages the steakhouse. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all the food and beverage options and is a shining star at the resort.
In summary, this is a beautiful and well-appointed resort with top-notch rooms and pools. While the steakhouse could be better value, and the location is a bit secluded, it's a wonderful place to relax—just be aware that large wedding groups can significantly change the atmosphere.
As per usual all top management seem to be hiding from the guests
AAhculawMy overall experience was absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, every staff member greeted me with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm. The team went out of their way to make me feel welcome and relaxed, providing great hospitality at every turn. In particular, I have to mention Khun Kath – her kindness, attentiveness, and friendliness truly stood out and made my stay extra special. I always felt like a valued guest thanks to her wonderful service and the positive attitude of the entire team.
My room was perfect in every way: spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully appointed. The room had all the amenities I could possibly need. I really appreciated how well the room was maintained and how everything just worked. It was a peaceful space where I could unwind fully after a day of exploring the resort’s activities.
Speaking of activities, everything was very well organized. The resort offered a great range of fun things to do, and each activity was managed smoothly. My morning, the delicious breakfast which had a good variety of hot dishes, fresh fruit, pastries, and more. One small note: the grill restaurant was just average.
GGuest UserOverall is a good place to stay at and we would recommend it. The hotel is a bit old style, but the property is very clean, well kept and quiet. The garden is very big, beautiful and peaceful. It has 2 pools with enough sun beds and umbrellas. We went beginning of tourist season so I guess it would be different if we went a bit later. The gym could use some new machines. For the breakfast it was ok, but I wish they had more vegetarian options for myself, but I managed. Service was great and also the check-in and check-out was fast. The location is right next to a he main road so there are plenty of restaurants around and also the beach is close by. Just need to pass through an alley on the side of their other 5* resort. They can help you organize trips and taxi service also. Unfortunately I only have pictures of the beach on my phone.
LLily in wonderlandMy family and I just stayed at the JW Marriott in Khao Lak and had a fantastic experience! The rooms were spacious, with big, comfy beds and natural product toiletries. Every morning, the breakfast spread was delicious and varied, featuring freshly squeezed juices and authentic Thai coffee made with high-quality ingredients. The kid's area offered daily activities, and bike rentals were easy; I highly recommend biking around the beautiful gardens. The service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. The pool area was impressive—it's the biggest pool I've seen at any property! Plus, direct beach access was a wonderful bonus. If I return to Khao Lak, I would definitely stay here again with my family!
CChayadaDuring our stay, we noticed a few service issues that we’d like to share for your improvement. For example, the receptionist is usually the first impression of any hotel. As Thai guests, we naturally expect polite and respectful communication, especially the consistent use of “krab” when speaking. However, the receptionist only said “krab” once, at the very end of the conversation. It felt unusual, and we weren’t even sure if he was Thai. This small detail made the interaction feel less warm and professional than expected.
Another issue we experienced was with the à la carte dining. We placed our order and waited for 40 minutes without any update or communication from the staff. When we finally asked about the delay, we were told we’d have to wait another 30 minutes. Only after that did the staff consult with the manager and offer us some food from the buffet, but at that point, it was already quite late and there weren’t many other dining options nearby. Ms. Bowy, the Restaurant Manager, kindly offered us a cocktail or some drinks, but what we really needed was food. She later offered a 20% discount for that meal, which we appreciated, but the whole experience was disappointing.
Lastly, during breakfast, we understand it was a long weekend and the hotel was likely busy. However, since occupancy can be anticipated, we believe better preparation could have been made—both in terms of staffing and seating arrangements. When we mentioned the crowd and the wait for a table, the staff simply said, “You should come earlier for breakfast,” which didn’t feel like a very helpful response.
We truly enjoyed the atmosphere and setting of the property, but we hope these comments help in improving the overall service experience for future guests.
DDasgonI had a great experience staying at Apsara Resort. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help, which really made a difference. The bar was fantastic—great drinks and atmosphere! And the location? Absolutely amazing. Whether you’re there to relax or explore, it’s the perfect spot. Highly recommend!
VVladislavKhaolak Wanaburee Resort is an ideal place for those who appreciate nature, comfort, and tranquility.
Pros: The hotel boasts a large, well-maintained area with a beautiful landscape design. 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!
BBairimenggongziThe room is large and each room has a wide view. The only problem is that it is a bit remote. It was dark around 9/10 when I drove to the hotel. The last five kilometers on the road were too scary. I was still surprised when I arrived at the hotel. It is suitable for long-term relaxation. Very good, there are few Chinese people and most of them are Europeans and Americans. The breakfast is western-style and good.
RRolfieAvoid Seascape Rooms Entirely - Lighthouse Works (If Upstairs!)
Our initial ”Seascape” room was uninhabitable:** overpowering mould/must smell caused breathing difficulties (tight lungs) within 30 minutes. Combined with noisy transformers outside, we fled immediately.
Staff moved us *free* to their ”Lighthouse” hotel across the road. **Beware the ground floor:** our Lighthouse room had the same severe damp/mould issue. **After one awful night, we paid extra to upgrade to a 3rd-floor sea view room.**
**This saved the stay:** The upstairs Lighthouse room was fresh, clean, comfortable (great beds/linen) with lovely views. Free water on each floor was appreciated. We extended from 5 to 7 nights here.
**Serious Issues Remain:**
1. **Seascape Building:** Avoid entirely - severe mould makes it unfit.
2. **Lighthouse Ground Floor:** Same mould/damp problem. **Only higher floors are acceptable.**
3. **Pool:** Excess chlorine on Day 1 bleached my wife's black leggings brown. Check levels before swimming.
**Bottom Line:** Only stay if you can *guarantee* an **upstairs room in the Lighthouse**. Never accept any Seascape rooms or Lighthouse ground floor rooms. The hotel must fix pervasive mould issues.
