Apsara Beachfront Resort Hotel and Villa in Khao Lak

i recently spent 2 weeks here, and my 60th birthday. The hotel is lovely, the food a staff are amazing, as is the location. We went on lots of trips out to elephant sanctuaries, James Bond island, temples and blessings. The whole experience and holiday was excellent.
Thank you very much Apsara hotel and lovely staff , we will be back. Definitely 10/10 😘

Loved almost everything about the Apsara. It’s a little remote but that’s exactly what is lovely about it. We bought several trips through the hotel and they were really high quality - much better food and vehicles than I’ve experienced on previous trips to Thailand, although a bit more pricey. The hotel guests are mostly English or English speaking, in contrast to many others in Thailand which are seemingly dominated by the Russian hordes.

Everything you could possibly want in a holiday. So much so that we are returning next month.

We spent several days at Apsara after a few weeks travelling and exploring across Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and decided we needed a place to chill before heading home. Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa was an excellent choice. We had a villa with its own pool accessible from both rooms, a central living area and an outdoor shower. The villas are separated from the hotel by a small lagoon, with tuk tuks on call to drop or collect you from the villa whenever you wish. The resort has all the pools and bars you'd expect in a resort and miles upon miles of beach a few steps away. Situated a few kilometres from the town of Khao Lak has its advantages and disadvantages. The resort is quiet and tranquil, but you either need a car, a scooter or to catch one of the pick-up truck taxis to get to town. We rented a scooter for the time we were there and had the freedom to come and go as we pleased. The hotel also has an array of water sports surf gear for free use by residents, which was always in use. Families with young kids may wish for a resort with more water slides, etc but for a more adult group, Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa is an excellent place to put your feet up and enjoy the good life.

Best hotel ive ever stayed in. Lovely warm welcome on arrival. Complimentary thai tea and warm face cloth to freshen up while you check in. Superb beach. Lovely food. Great staff throughout. Great communication, i booked independently with the hotel. Loved so much im def going to be a returning customer. Rooms are well equipped i had deluxe. Ild feel completely safe as a solo traveller in the future. (Age 56 atm) ive worked in the hotel industry and this hotel is far superior to the 4* hotel i worked in bk here in uk.

We stayed here for our honeymoon in March (a massively delayed review!) and honestly, a piece of my heart was left in this hotel. We stayed on the villa side, and from start to finish it was absolutely incredible.

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, but never — ever — anywhere like this. It makes every other hotel feel second-rate in comparison. Everything was perfect: the setting, the atmosphere, the staff, the little touches that made it so special. It truly is the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

We were originally going to book the Maldives, but chose here instead — and I have zero regrets about that decision. I will definitely, definitely be back.

If you’re thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

One of my absolute favourite hotel experiences. Will definitely be back again!

Literally right on the beach front. Staff very helpful and friendly. Gardens and grounds amazing. Food very good. Very peaceful.

Great place if you want a peaceful hotel. Great food and atmosphere. Perfect location on the beach by the river. Needs some upgrades on sunbeds and parasols.
