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.

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.

Great location, beautiful beach with a short walk to local restaurants. A sea view room is a must fot views of the sunsets. Expect hotel prices for drinks, or head to Memories Beach bar for more budget friendly food and drinks (massages and surf hire also available).

Apsara deserves 5 stars! We booked this hotel for two weeks. Our tour operator, when offering this hotel, failed to mention that the "all-inclusive" option operated during peak and low seasons. We were therefore surprised that we could only use the all-inclusive option with a buffet and not à la carte, as it was peak season.
This was extremely frustrating for us; we weren't prepared for this.
We immediately contacted our tour operator and the hotel management.
Unfortunately, our tour operator didn't offer a solution (very frustrating!).
Fortunately, the hotel did notice our disappointment and, on their own initiative, gave us a FREE upgrade to a Jacuzzi Villa. This allowed us to dine à la carte every day!
This is, of course, a considerable concession from the hotel. You immediately notice that they do everything they can to ensure their guests have a wonderful time! TOP-NOTCH SERVICE!
My tip: book a Pool/Jacuzzi Villa and fully enjoy the all-inclusive experience!
About the hotel itself: very clean, very quiet, good location, friendly staff, beautifully landscaped garden and pool, delicious food, and they do everything they can to make you feel at home!
That last point is quite important.

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.
