"This is the most luxurious resort in Khao Lak! The staff were all incredible and made our start so memorable. The amenities are amazing and the pool residence room was just perfect. Would very easily stay here again and again!"
"From arrival my experience at this resort has been superb. You are warmly greeted in Reception on arrival and each day when in contact with them. They are very helpful advising on excursions and where to go. I did the Thai cooking three-course meal which was a great experience. Would highly recommend for guest to take part in this.The staff at this hotel are amazing and genuinely friendly, you are made to feel special in every way.The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Very spacious. The food and choice of drinks are excellent. Overall I cannot fault this hotel as it is exceptional and great value for money. My seaview room with balcony was spacious with lovely bathroom I wished I had booked for longer but will be returning"
"Well appointed resort, direct beach access, beautiful pools and grounds. Staff were so friendly.
No need to leave the resort, convenience store and spa on site."
"Building is fantastic and the pools are great. Amazing location just across from the beach across a quiet little access road. Staff are very courteous"
"This was our fifth visit to the JW Marriott Khao Lak. Overall it is still very good and I would highly recommend. In particular the pools are amazing and the Olive restaurant in particular is excellent.
My only slight criticisms are that the hotel's focus seems to be mainly on i) weddings / events, and ii) the new wings (aimed largely for those with young children) whilst the older wings and surrounding areas are starting to show their age and seem to be receiving less attention.
There is building work going on for c60 new MVC units due to finish end of 2026, but it's not disruptive so don't let that put you off.
I think the hotel could be more attentive in cleaning the beach area of debris. Of course I appreciate this waste isn't the hotel's fault, but it could be improved.
The hotel has added some recent new touches such as complimentary water and sun-cream at helpful points by the beach and pools.
Overall, absolutely recommended, especially if you're a keen swimmer and / or just want a relaxing break."
