"The hotel was all hoped it would be. Good quality. Breakfast was more than enough. The pool was amazing, and also right on a most amazing beach. Many thanks to the Haven"
"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."
