Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa

Khao Lak, Thailand

Star rating

The hotel

You could be forgiven for thinking the Apsara is only for water babies, with its beachfront setting, infinity swimming pool, villa pool, two kids' pools, pool villa upgrades, water slide and of course, the obligatory Jacuzzi. But there’s more to the Apsara than sun, sea and sand. Set in unspoilt tropical greenery, along Pakarang Beach, this All Inclusive haven offers a range of drinks and things to do. There’s the Thai cookery classes, Thai boxing, spa treatments, bike rental and kayaking to name but a few!

This hotel is lovely and all of the staff are amazing. The main charm is this place is a very relaxed peaceful location with minimal entertainment. The miles of beaches are beautiful. You can walk all day and still be on a beach I did 16 miles one day.. Every member of staff I dealt with was friendly and made time to have a chat. The all inclusive… Read more
This hotel is lovely and all of the staff are amazing. The main charm is this place is a very relaxed peaceful location with minimal entertainment. The miles of beaches are beautiful. You can walk all day and still be on a beach I did 16 miles one day.. Every member of staff I dealt with was friendly and made time to have a chat. The all inclusive is good value for money and there is plenty of choice. The restaurant has a section that will cook fresh food for you at virtually every meal. The resort was clean and tidy. I loved it here and would come back again. The hotel is a little off of the main tourist zones so there is not very much near to the hotel. There are a few restaurants but thats it. In this location I felt so safe and was out on my own most days. This is a great place but if you want a busy buzzing hotel this is not for you. Thank you Apsara for an amazing memorable holiday. I booked this holiday via TUI. Shame that TUI service is so poor.. Read less

The hotel is about 1.5 to 2 hours away from Phuket airport, but the welcome you get when you arrive in this paradise makes the entire journey worthwhile. The food is excellent, particularly the local Thai food. The staff are all amazing but there are some stand out members of the team. I would particularly like to mention Emee in the reception team who went above and beyond to help us with checking in for our return flights. Nothing is too much trouble and the team made our birthday celebration very special. 10/10 Read less
