Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa

Khao Lak, Thailand

Virgin 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!

Fantastic staff, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, 2 beautiful swimming pool, good infrastrutture, marvellous beach just in front of the hotel, and an associated restaurant (Karkinos) with a delucious seafood plate and Italian pizza!

Apsara is a very special hotel Rooms are great / spacious and cleaned every day. The clientele are a wide range and mix from around the world which we found nice. The beach is what you come here for The Sand is amazingly soft The beach is long and flat And there are waves nearby (very) for real surfing or playing Food outstanding and for only slightly more than the street restaurants Massages in the grounds at the hotel where great and the same price as the ones on the beach (same staff as the spar) Christmas and New Year’s parties where another outstanding performance by team APSARA Beachfront Resort and Villa. The food once again Outstanding The theme perfect The hosts brilliant Just a shame that everyone wasn’t on “TABLE 3” 😁😂 like us 🥂🍾 We have stayed Bed & Breakfast and more recently as All Inclusive. Both work well as the food in the restaurants is consistently excellent and the local beach and road restaurants are equally fantastic. All in all Brilliant Would we come again Absolutely this has been our third time Looking at booking already Very special Thank you to the whole team for making our dream a reality. See you next year Rachel and Jonathan Read less

Very good experience overall at this wonderful location in a clean and comfortable hotel. After a bit of a bumpy staff (the reservation department and the reception desk do not seem to communicate well :-| ), we felt very much at home and enjoyed a wonderful family room. Great and varied restaurants. New Year's eve was unfortunately in our view overprized (no possibility to opt out). But overall we spent a few very relaxing days there with family and friends - thank you! Read less
