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!

Beautiful place. Great location. Restaurant and Bar staff lovely however reception staff not very helpful. Asked them if we could get a drink or pastry before we left very early for a day trip but they said no as breakfast didn’t start until 6.30. No water in the room as we had drank it the day before and wouldn’t be replaced until later on in the day. We weren’t asking for much just a drink. No milk in the room so we couldn’t make a hot drink either.
Last day we’ve asked to keep our room for 2 hours extra but they said no when we’ve been told by other guests that it is possible. Just puts a downer on the last few hours of the holiday.

Beautiful resort near Khao Lak
Nov 7, 2024Stacey WBundaberg, Australia
What a great resort! Great food, friendly staff and roomy too! We had a couple of massages and enjoyed the pools. Thoroughly recommend this spot!
It is about 1.5 hours from Phuket airport so the drive is a consideration. But if you want a quieter, cleaner spot than the hussle of Patong, then this could be the spot for you!
Best room, beautiful beach, so clean

The staff was absolutely wonderful, super nice and helpful always.

Amazing, beautiful hotel and surroundings.
The staff was absolutely wonderful, super nice and helpful always.
One buffet area, varied in quality from day to day (in my opinion) but it depends on what you like of course.
At the hotel the prices were pretty good,
At the hotels other resturant/bar, the food was very nice. Not very “thai” tho, more pizza, burgers, meat etc.
Most common price was around 300-400 baht for a meal.
Cocktails around 250-350 baht.
Outside of the hotel, approx 8 min walk was a great seafood resturant, local, they also had many other choices like duck, thai dishes etc.
Could get a starter, meal and cocktail for around 400-500 baht.
A big beer at most local resturants was around 100 baht, a wine 120-150 baht, and cocktails 120-180 baht.
Also ate at the market, super good prices and amazing food.
Stayed alone with sister and friend at market during evening, never once felt unsafe or anything like that.
Thai locals super sweet people and most sellers very nice and respectful - not “on” you. 😅
