A few years ago I was vacationing in Thailand, on Koh Samui. The impression was wonderful, so we decided that we could go to Thailand again, but this time to some other place. Phuket was reputed to be noisy and dirty, so the sight stopped at Khao Lak. I liked Apsara hotel for the price, photos, reviews.

A few years ago I was vacationing in Thailand, on Koh Samui. The impression was wonderful, so we decided that we could go to Thailand again, but this time to some other place. Phuket was reputed to be noisy and dirty, so the sight stopped at Khao Lak.
I liked Apsara hotel for the price, photos, reviews. Go.
On arrival we were upgraded from a room with pool access to a pool villa. This is good luck, we thought (as we guessed later, we were moved due to the fact that right in front of "our" building there was a repair of a bar on the shore). After a couple of days of staying, we were deprived of a free mini-bar, saying that we had already been moved to a more respectable place. Well, nothing, in the store we will buy everything you need. But the nearest shop turned out to be almost 5 km from the hotel. On foot with shopping - yes-le-ko. And there were no restaurants, spas, bars nearby - nothing, only closed establishments, it was not clear whether hotels were working, it felt like this place survived the tsunami just yesterday and only our hotel looks like new.
The sea near Apsara is a bit shallow, strong enough waves (apparently at this time of the year) do not allow you to reach the depth, but jumping on the waves is also fun. The beach is cleaned only in front of the hotel, literally 100 meters to the right and left, the rest of the beach is very dirty ; ( Not only corals, but all sorts of human gifts (bottles, slippers, etc. ) are nailed by waves. And if you walk along the beach towards White Sands , then you can reach the "spot" of stones. During low tide, next to these stones it becomes creepy, as if you were on Mars (although the stones are not red) or on some abandoned planet, at least it seemed to me.
But the territory of the hotel is quite large. The villas are across the bridge (river) from the buildings. There are two restaurants on the territory, on both sides of the river. The menu of main dishes, in my opinion, is a little bit poor, and the drinks are more extensive. There are no entertainment events and animations, as in Turkey or Egypt. But there is a spa. Prices are higher than in the city, but at this time of the year (off season) there is a 40% discount.
There are two halls on the territory of the hotel, but if you are professionally involved in sports or understand something in it, then it is difficult to call them halls. Three simulators in each hall - a track, an ellipse and a bicycle; dumbbells (moreover, in one of the halls they end up at 12 kg), a straight bench, a bench for the press, an inclined bench.
Overall, a good place, but I don't want to go back.

We had a good rest, but we will not go there again and we will not particularly advise. The sea is gentle, the beach is clean, the wave is not annoying, it takes a long time to go to the depths, but since we traveled with a child, this was a plus. The territory is beautiful, but the first two days I had to stray in search of my body.

The territory is beautiful, but the first two days I had to stray in search of my body. There are no elevators. In the building where we were originally settled, the steps are steep and you can only go through one and without a bag (narrow). There were frequent power outages. energy. The sockets didn't work, even when the lights were on. We demanded to change the number and on the second day, with a scandal, unfortunately, it was changed. Swede (table) for breakfast is poor, quite in the evening. Soup in the morning is extremely rare, we found it 2 times in 10 days. There are no porridges for children at all. There is a kids club, but there is only furniture. No toys, no crayons, no people to work with the kids. Those. it is not clear what kind of club, why even write about its presence. The nearest cafes are 800 meters, there is also a mini market with a very meager assortment. Well, I didn’t need a pharmacy, I can’t imagine where we would look for it. To go here either by hiring a car, or for those who VERY love loneliness and silence.
