About the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa

For those seeking luxury away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket or Samui, this is the perfect place. The hotel is located on the Khao Lak coast in Phang Nga, close enough to the Andaman Sea to easily take morning diving trips to the Similan Islands, yet far enough away from any disturbances that the loudest sound on most days comes from the pool.

Room categories range from standard double rooms to suites and villas with private pools, with the lagoon pool being the centerpiece of the entire resort. There's a spa offering a full range of treatments and restaurants on-site. However, it's not a party resort. The atmosphere is tranquil and family-friendly, which will appeal to couples and parents and may bore those hoping for a lively atmosphere. Think of it as a relaxing holiday with one or two day trips, not as a base for sightseeing.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
