Good value ”
The staff at Apsara was great and responsive. We were given a free upgrade to a pool villa upon check-in but because it was extremely hot while we were there, it took a lot of time to cool the several rooms in the villa. As it required you keep your key in place to keep the electricity on, it was a challenge to keep cool when leaving the room. As another reviewer on TripAdvisor posted, the beds at Apsara are really hard. Food choices were great and plentiful at the restaurants and the service good. Memories is a beachfront restaurant next door that has great food and the prices are lower. Apsara is a bit secluded so it was handy for us to have a rental car (that we rented at Phuket Airport) to see the area (White Sand Beach in Khao Lak - amazing) and Phang Nga Bay for a boat trip. On the road leading out of the resort to Highway 4, there are some very sweet ladies who do laundry and will have it all nice and clean and ironed in a day for next to nothing. If you use them, tip them well!

Great service”
The stay at Apsara started as nightmare but thanks to the manager and other staff it turned out to be a great holiday. Due to the last minute booking the only available option at reasonable price was the pool access room. Based on the description of the room size and layout it seemed sufficient for us (two adults and a toddler), however once we checked in it became clear that the room is too small and missing some basic things like a separate shower, place to dry wet clothes, water kettle etc. We asked for upgrade but the only available rooms were the villas. I was not ready to pay USD 700+/night so we decided to move to a different place. While arranging for the new accommodation the manager told us that they will upgrade us for free to a pool villa and he was very professional and caring. This saved our holiday! The villa area is quite isolated and gives out an eerie feel, compared to other villa resorts in Thailand, Apsara looks more like you are in some fenced neighborhood. However, the villa itself was excellent, really spacious and super clean. The restaurant in the villa compound is also excellent, with reasonable prices, great service and tasty choices, both international and Thai dishes. The staff working there are really nice and professional. We spent most of our time on the beach, which didn't seem to be part of the hotel, but it was rather managed by the surfing school and local restaurant, so it was quite basic arrangement, but the sand and the sea were very clean and the sunsets magnificent. Overall, I think we might go back to Apsara, but definitely try to book a villa again (so look for deals). I would not go back for the rooms at the main resort, unless I am traveling on my own and space is not an issue.

Fantastic staff”
I stayed at Apsaras toward the end of the quiet season and where other resorts close their beach bars, restaurants etc, Apsaras were still fully open. The real winner with this resort is the staff. They are so friendly and always on hand to help. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The restaurants have a good selection of food from traditional Thai to Western dishes. The menu's were also very well priced. The prices happily compared to the local restaurants in Khao Lak but the food was of a far better quality. If your looking for a relaxing resort on the West coast of Thailand then this is your place. I will return for sure.

Excellent, relaxing, friendly staff. ”
Khao Lak's Apsaras Hotel is one of the finest I've encountered. Please allow me to number my praises. 1. I'm a sixty + retired male. I've spent the majority of my life in Thailand. 2. Apsaras: well designed, meticulously defined. Spectacular view and beaches. Thai's prefer hard beds, which should be provided honored guests. 3. Pool Villa: spectacular. 4. Foliage, palms, breathtaking, meticulous beach, the birds of paradise, the plentiful atriums inside the villa, bathroom, toilet, resort at large, all add to the aesthetic beauty of this heavenly masterpiece. 5. The resort is naturally partitioned between differing behavioral standards. 6. All facilities are clean and golf carts shuttle guests from the villas to and from the main Resort. 7. The chef is Italian, and, I like Italians. The chef is really a nice man. He's been here four years. 8. The quality of food. I'm very spoiled. I live in Chiang Mai and I attend wine dinners in Bangkok. I'm a tuff food critic. The buffets are "good." 9. Staff. Polite. A. Female beautiful, charming polite. B. Men charming. Ages about 20-25 C. Gays in abundant addition. You decide 10. Guest Relations Manager: Kat. A treasure. 11. Management A. Precise, accurate, results oriented. B. Wonderful picture of Thai excellence. C. Need to respect Thai smoking laws. Legal water prices at 7 Baht, I can boil my own. 12. Thai law disallows smoking in public usage areas. Penalties work as noted below : A. Smoke in public area, Proprietor pays 20,000 Baht plus arrest B. Smoker pays 2,000 Baht plus arrest C. No signs posted, Proprietor pays 20,000 Baht plus arrest The law breakers are Korean, Chinese, and European tourists. Koreans are very bad. 13. Geriatrics friendly. Absolute. Don't worry. 14. I can easily rate Apsaras five star, except for the smoking issue. I recommend Apsaras as your next vacation of choice. Try to come when the Koreans are gone.

Still talking about our vacation 5 months later”
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful December holiday at the Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa. The staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and polite. We stayed in a private pool villa. It exceeded our expectations. The pool was quiet and perfect for lounging and relaxing. The beach was only a few minutes walk from our room. We selected the all-inclusive dining option and were very happy with all the choices and options. It was a holiday to remember and we are still talking about how wonderful our experience was 5 months later. We hope to return again this December. It was truly a vacation of a lifetime.

Marvelous resort @ Khaolak”
This was the first time for us at Khaolak. We decided to book the Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa after reading reviews. We judged not wrong. This was absolutely perfect resort. Pro. Beautiful and clean room, a private white sand beach, a lot of activities (swimming pools, tabletennis and beach volleyball), good dining @Zeus Beach Restauran & Bar, and professional and friendly staffs.We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!!!

A dream come true”
I arrived weary from my travels and was taken to my villa by buggy. To say I was delighted was an understatement. The quality of the villa complete with spacious private pool, lounge, bedroom and outside shower was beyond my wildest dreams. The outside areas, particularly in the villa area are just beautiful and the staff a delight. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, meals were relatively inexpensive. I would return to the Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa in a heart beat and would like to say a special thank you to everyone who made this such a pleasant stay

Paradise in Khao Lak”
The Apsara is the only Resort set on the beach ,we stayed in a pool villa for 5 nights which was really nice and very large with the advantage of being able to swim in our own pool at any time of the day or night .The resort also has two large pools and several restaurants and a beach bar ,There is a small village about 10 minutes walk from the resort with plenty of eating options the resort also runs a mini van in Khao Lak a couple times a day but i would recommend hiring a motorcycle from the local restaurant for not much money and then exploring the area around Khao Lak. The beach in front of the resort is very clean and safe to swim with not to many people i will definitely stay here again

Relaxing, quiet location”
Attractive hotel resort to get away and relax. On the northern part of the Thai coast known as Khao Lak, here are miles of near deserted beaches with little development. Apsara had friendly staff and good facilities. Good value as a low season getaway but not for those who want action packed vacation with nightlife. Hotel restaurant is a bit pricey. A few nearby restaurants to walk to but it`s 4 kms to the main road (you can rent a bicycle). It really is quiet and beautiful at Apsara. I recommend it and hope to go again

Lovely, relaxing stay”
We had an excellent stay at the Apsara hotel, despite terrible weather! The room was large, spacious, well laid out with an excellent bathroom and large bath with a separate shower. A massive sliding glass door led out onto the balcony which has lovely views across the sea and towards other land. Check in was easy and quick, and the staff always attentive. The hotel is located about 10 - 15 minutes drive away from the main areas for shopping and restaurants, but the hotel does provide a quick and easy shuttle bus to these areas. Getting back to the hotel in the evening requires a taxi however, as the last shuttle is about 5 or 5.30 pm, which is a pity. Food at the restaurant was adequate, not as good as many of the smaller and very much cheaper restaurants in the centre of Khao Lak. Breakfast was good though, with a large buffet selection including fresh fruits, cereals, cooked items, eggs, etc. Overall, a lovely hotel, just a pity it is slightly away from the main areas of Khao Lak, but it does mean a very peaceful and relaxing stay.

Something Special”
Fantastic week at the Apsara resort from 15th. to 22nd. Jan 2015 We stayed in the detached villas on the far side of the resort. they were a delight. We loved the seclusion and the seperate pool and breakfast room with stunning views over the Anderman sea. The beach bar was also a geat place to drink and dine in the evening, typically thai and great value with the added bonus of a nightly fire dancing show by the staff. The resort is superb in a fantastic location and only a twenty minute ride into Khao Lak.We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and eat in the beach bar most nights. They do offer all inclusive so we tried the buffet restaurant one night. not overly impressed .However I would strongly reccomend the resort and pay the extra for the villa.

Exceptional stay at Apsara”
We were very lucky to be upgraded to the bigger room. The room was clean, big and comfortable. We also had a shower and a bathtub with the Andaman sea-view in our room, how great was that. The first impression was the smell of pandan leaf when we get into the room, we love it. Big swimming pool is located right beside the beach and the view of sunset at the pool was beyond imagination, marvelous. The price of food and beverage is reasonable. Candlelit dinner at the beach restaurant with live music was magnificent. Staff are super friendly. We love our stay very much. Only one small negative thing we could find is the water system of the swimming pool. It should have been great if the pool is the salt water pool. Apart from that, Apsara is an exceptional place to stay when you come to Khao Lak.

Pool villa was amazing”
We booked a pool villa and it was incredible. - PRIVATE - your own courtyard and 100% privacy - OUTDOOR SHOWER - showering in the garden was a unique experience - SPACIOUS - lounge, dressing room, bathroom area, separate bedroom - OUTDOOR AREA - your own pool, sun beds, table and chairs and an outdoor spa you can swim at any time of the day or night The staff were friendly and the local beach restaurants are worth a visit. Apsara is a bit out of the way from Khao Lak but this is part of the appeal

We came as guests and left as friends”
We had a wonderful week in the Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They were very nice to our 1 1/2 years old daughter, too. The room and breakfast are great value for money. Gardens, pools and beach is all very beautiful. We plan to come back on our next trip to Thailand!

First trip to Thailand ”
The staff were warm and welcoming on our arrival even apologising for upgrading us to a villa, which there was no need for as this was outstanding. The villa were cleaned everyday at any hour. The food here was excellent and reasonably priced for a hotel. This hotel was a quiet getaway. I would definitely recommend the Apsara beachfront to anyone holidaying in Thailand who want 5 star treatment at 3 star prices.

A little slice of Heaven on the Andaman sea!”
Another fantastic stay at Apsara. We have stayed here several times now and the service is second to none. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the surroundings are peaceful yet luxurious. Once again, Khun Golf(Front Office Manager)took care of all our needs and was ready to deal with any issues arising, making our stay smooth and trouble free. Apsara is definetely our home away from home in Khao Lak!

Excellent on all fronts”
No queuing at check-in and check-out, instead we were comfortably seated in the lounge, given cold hand towels and a welcome drink. The staff were efficient, friendly, smiley and very helpful on all levels. We were even given an room upgrade!! The three nights we spent at Apsara Beachfront Resort were perfect - unforgettable even. The room was amazing, food was exceptional, and beachfront very well maintained. We will be back like a shot.

Relaxing resort away from the crowds”
Booked through Agoda for 2 nights in a superior room (clean, quiet with a balcony & nice view) then extended for another 2 nights. We then looked at other resorts closer to town and realised that Apsara was by far the nicest resort along this stretch of coast. We then spoke with receptionist to organize extending our stay again and were pleasantly surprised to be offered an upgrade from our superior room to a garden villa. The Villas are very private, modern and spacious which we loved, our only complaint was the hard beds (in both rooms) as soon as we mentioned it a mattress topper was supplied which solved the problem. The resort in a quiet location although there are a couple of great restaurants on the beach and tour operators seem happy to pick you up from the resort for any day trips. We have found the staff approachable, attentive and friendly and would have to rate this the nicest resort we have stayed at in our 5 week trip.

Comfort, peacefulness and tranquility!”
We have stayed here for a while now, we never manage to check-out and extend our stay! If you are looking for a wonderful setting on the beach and 1st class service and rooms...Apsara should be your choice in Khao Lak. From check in, you will be greeted with incredible service with a smile. Mr. Golf, is always available to make your stay, even more special. In fact all the staff have been wonderful. Thank you once again, Apsara. We will be back.
