JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa

Stayed here for the last two weeks in April. Had a fabulous time and whilst we always say we never stay the same place twice this is one we will return to! Weather was amazing, much better than we expected given proximity to the rainy season. Very hot and minimal rain. Hotel is surprisingly large but you never appreciate just how big it is until you explore the connected pools and swim up areas which total almost 2.5km. With so much space there is something for everyone whether it's slides etc for kids or a tranquil area for chill time. All the pool areas are segregated by beautiful greenery which is immaculately maintained by a small army of staff. Speaking of staff, the workforce here are some of the friendliest you could wish to meet and everyone really does try to ensure you have the best stay. We enjoy the beach and the hotel is situated on an amazing stretch of very clean and seaweed free deserted sand which goes on for miles with barely another hotel in sight. Hotel has some lovely restaurants and there are several along beach where you can have a lovely meal at very low cost. Pam's restaurant a short ride away is also well worth a visit. The hotel offer a free shuttle service to the Khao Lak night market which is worth a visit if you like cheap clothes and street food. We booked an excursion to a turtle sanctuary, bamboo rafting and an elephant sanctuary - booked via the Get Your Guide app and had a great day which cost just over £50 each incl lunch! This hotel is so worth a visit!

I stayed at JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa for 4 days and was quite worried about food options in Thailand as I am a pure vegetarian. We connected with Chef Mohan, who was extremely polite and helpful. Thanks to him, we could truly enjoy the trip without worrying about food. The resort is very peaceful, and the location is excellent. I would highly recommend this place for family and business vacations.

The staff at JW Marriott were exceptional. From Tong, Apple and Boy servicing the front of house at the restaurants, Nana and Kara in the kids club making it so enjoyable for my children, and Fin in the gym who was so motivated and engaging — the level of service was so impressive and truly made the experience unforgettable. Chef Enzo in Olive ran a world-class restaurant and the food was so exceptional that my only complaint is what it did to my waistline.

This is our 5th visit and everything was as we expected. The staff are, without exception, wonderful. In particular I want to specifically mention Tong, Boy, and Frank, who all did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. I am visiting with my family and everyone has gone above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We had a couple of things that I brought to the attention of management and they were promptly resolved by Taki, who is the Assistant Front Office Manager. I can't recommend JW Marriott Khao Lak highly enough and will be back again in 2027.

It’s amazing time for recharging at this beautiful resort, a lot of activities on beach, sea and relaxing place. I have enjoyed very nice breakfast and drinks here 😍🥰
