Dream Family Stay
This place is a dream. We’ve travelled a lot and this was the best place I have stayed in. The food is better than any other resort I’ve stayed in. Service was sensational. Pool access rooms were perfect for the family. After the first day staff were calling my son by his name and greeting him all over the hotel. Such a special piece of paradise.
Excellent
Amazing place pampering service
Amazing beach food and facilities.
Lovely hotel with a very relaxing vibe. The room was very comfortable and spacious. We ate in all the hotel restaurants and every meal was delicious. Pam’s restaurant at the end of the road was also good.
I cannot put into words how beautiful this resort is and how perfect our stay was thanks to the beautiful staff and service provided. We received the upmost 5 star service everywhere we went around the resort. We had two small mishaps, however they were rectified immediately and the staff went out of the way to ensure we were happy. The facilities are absolutely gorgeous, the lagoon pool is what makes this resort stand out from anywhere else. Highly recommend the pool access room. We had a beautiful stay and cannot wait to be back. We will be regular guests forever!
A piece of paradise. Service was amazing and location and layout of the hotel was incredible. Well worth treating yourself
Fantastic!
Our stay was fantastic, one of the best hotels that I ever visited! Always smiling staff!
The staff was extremely friendly and the property was beautiful. It was very relaxing.
The on-property farm and bike trail was a surprise, and super cool. Great beach. Local bar/restaurant next door was a delight. Property is a very cool deisgn, and will be great when Marriott completes renovation. Very good design. Typical, overpriced, but that is a marriott standard as always, lol... Still a great property, at a great beach, in a cool town, with super nice people.
Best hotel ever
we stayed last year for 3 weeks and chose to take 3 weeks again this year. this hotel has to be one of the best hotels in this price range in the whole world. everything is sublime. the whole area is fantastically well-maintained. the staff is extremely friendly. the restaurants are international world class. tennis, squash, fitness, kids room, the beach, their farm, cycle track, the fantastically beautiful pool, the many pool areas, magnificent breakfast buffet, show in the evening. I could go on. coming again!
It was a good stay with good food and a fair price
We had such an incredible stay at JW Marriott Khao Lak. The staff and service was mostly amazing. We had an odd experience on 13th Oct night at Olive where the staff got our booking and orders wrong. It felt as if they were subpar service staff members compared to all the other experiences we had a JW Marriott. The hotel is mostly pram friendly which was great when walking around with our 1yo daughter. Overall we had such an incredible time and can't wait togo back!
Nice stay
Beautiful great value for money. No free airport transfer.
The service was 5 star. We loved our pool access room. The kids could happily swim while we could sit and watch. A good range of restaurants with delicious food. Olive restaurant was our favourite. Would highly recommend and hope to come back one day.
Relaxing and quiet beachfront in a beautiful setti
Lovely resort with spacious rooms and large balconies. Plenty of pool options for swimming in this very large resort. Grounds were very well kept. Staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. A very relaxing and comfortable stay with the option of dining at local restaurants on either side of the resort boundaries.
Luxury and comfort personified!!
Beautiful property with excellent landscaping..non stop entertainment for kids of all ages and back to back activities for adults too.. Wonderful and friendly staff ever willing to go out of the way to make guests comfortable.. special mention for Front office manager Mr Rashdan for making b day celebrations a memorable one.. Excellent food and wide range of stand alone cuisines too to add to the wonderful experience..Wish to come back soon!!
Great relaxing holiday
Excellent resort, food was amazing with 8 restaurants and catered well for food allergies (gluten free). Very clean inside and out with friendly service. Pool access room was great for relaxing and there were plenty of activities for rainy days as well. Would definitely stay again.
Great Facility, friendly staff, quality breakfast!
Fabulous!!!
If there's a title for the perfect resort, then this hotel should get it! Absolutely fabulous. We stayed 2 nights and are sorry we couldn't stay any longer. The service, staff, endless pools, food are simply amazing.
Waiting to come back
Excellent resort. Great room (big, warm decoration), amenities of high quality. Best breakfast. Many activities. Kids cancelled booked tour, not wanting to go for a day. Wifi only thing to improve.
Great vacation
Perfect vacation . We will come again.
Relax
Perfect vacation .
Great facility. Friendly staff.
We had a blast
Amazing resort, we had a great time.
My wife and I spent 5 nights at JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa in April, 2024. The room and beach were great. The facility itself is enormous, far more so than I had realized when I booked our stay. It's a Marriott, so expect meals to be priced double (or triple) what you might pay at nearby (and far less fancy) restaurants; indeed, meals were priced a good bit higher than what we had paid at similar or nicer hotels in Seam Reap, Bangkok and Hanoi. Perhaps the absence of high end competition is the reason. In any event, the resort is somewhat isolated (1.25 hours from Phuket and 15 mins from the nearby town) and if you don't mind the scale of the property worth considering.
Very good hotel and resort. Clean, spacious and with good gym and dining options.
Excellent beach, lovely hotel facilities, various dining options. Staff is very friendly, although restaurant staff need some proper training. Overall we had really relaxing and enjoyable family holiday. Would recommend Khao Lak beach and JW Marriott to everyone who is looking for a family friendly holiday destination.
Excellent facilities, friendly staff who provided excellent service, clean, grounds were beautifully kept, food was delicious and having the voucher (full board) worked out good value. We stayed in block 7 with a swim up terrace which was perfect. Would highly recommend this place. We stayed for pur honeymoon and it was perfect for us. Its not walkable to the town (only beach bars allng the beach) so it is remote, but they offer a paid shuttle service to town which we used twice.
I had such a great time here. I highly recommend.
Staff were so helpful especially Tal, Tee and Mikey who drove the buggy. Was definitely required and very welcomed
Nice hotel for family
Amazing and can’t be faulted
This has been the greatest experience in a hotel for us. We stayed in the hotel for 6 days and decided not to leave at all. Spent all days in the hotel to enjoy all the dining options and experiences. Staff at all the restaurants and even room service staff are highly trained and make you feel like a valued guest. Well done to the management and the team as a whole. Would rate more than 5 stars.
We come for the four times to this hotel. The channels around the property are exceptional. We come the date of Birthday from my husband but nobody check this.... by check in !!!
Beautiful property with amazing amenities for families.
The staff at the Drift restaurant were amazing. The seafood platter was out of this world and the chef was excellent and bent over backwards with our requests
Many of the staff didint understand english and many of my orders were served incorrectly
Location and facilities
The hotel is simply outstanding definitely a 5 star hotel the staff the pools the food the room just perfect we loved our stay
What a beautiful luxurious resort. It perfectly balances being family friendly and adult friendly. The pool access rooms are the best.
Wonderful accommodations on a beautiful beach. Lunch was successful for a celiac meal but dinners had contamination, although the chefs tried very hard and we very nice!
A really great hotel. It is big, but impressive. Dining options were great. Breakfast was sensational, staff were all really good. Pools were fantastic. The only issue we had was that our room smelt a bit damp and mouldy.
Beautiful property - especially enjoyed the pool and that you could also swim at night.
Lovely
Astonishingly awesome pool, stretching around the wings of the hotel. Great location for day trips to Similan, Surin and James Bond islands.
Amazing resirt with excellent services
This is an amazint resort, with modern renovated rooms, embedded in greenery and water channels. Staff is perfectly trained and polite, breakfast amazing and food excellent in general. And if you sometimes prefer a more budget way, there is a handy restaurant and massage next to the resort. Beach with a gentle slope, great for swimming. Not interesting however for snorkling.
Wonderful stay
This is a wonderful hotel with many amenities. The rooms are very comfortable and modern. The beach is superb, one of the few almost pristine ones left in Thailand. The only downside is the size: it’s a huge resort, with many people and quite a bit walking. On the upside, you get fantastic pools, great beach chairs, etc. Really great especially for families.
The resort was fantastic, but I wanted a haircut and some shaving cream. There were no services.
Our stay
Beds were so comfortable especially for Thailand, big bathtub was also a perk!
I could not believe 5 star hotel service but spa is very comfortable.
Enjoyable family stay, wonderful staff, good food!
Awesome for the families, everything you may need all at one spot.
Excellent food. On the ocean. Very pretty. Clean & friendly. This beach has nice, rolling waves conducive to body boarding. The long, winding pool is fun for kids...but big enough you can find private coves. Excellent kids club (big kids too with squash, fitness, ping pong, etc.
loved the beach area, fantastic breakfast offering, rooms are tired and require updating
In general the hotel and thw facilities was pleasing. However, the service quality together with overall food quality can be improved for a better rating. Beach was perfect
Excellent facilities including staff. My only concern would be the price of food and drink which is not competitive with local bars and restaurants.
Resort Heaven
Beautiful Resort . Amazing pool . Great food Very friendly staff
Best
the best hotel in Thailand. The rooms are big and clean, breakfast is fresh with a lot of variety. The food in the hotel’s restaurant is also good and tasty but pricy. Good wifi connection. Staff are very nice and helpful
Exceptional property in great location. Beautifully maintained with all the amenities including squash court , kids club and acres of swimming pool.
The choice and quality of dining was exceptional. The kids club for the children was disappointing. Unfortunately the staff paid little attention to the kids resulting in the children becoming quickly bored and wanting to leave. The staff would then phone us to collect the kids because they were bored. We have never experienced such a boring and disappointing venue for children.
The effort that goes into the little details is delightful
Great resort staff and food fabulous. The Marriott seems very client focused and they can't do enough for you.
Likes everything about this prooerty.... cannot fault. Wonderful staff and facilities.
Amazing resort. THE best staff. Can’t wait to return post renovations. Highly recommend.
Beautiful 5 star property Food excellent Indian buffet out of this world Chef Mohan really looked after us All staff well trained A plus facilities!
Gorgeous Swimming pools and all staff are very kind and helpful. The Thai restaurant in the resort food was excellent. Nothing to complain.

Wonderful property for a family holiday. Beautiful beaches and terrific staff.
Excellent location and facilities will return tomorrow if I could.
Eautiful porperty, situated ona stunning beachfront location, and one of the most amazing swimming pools I’ve ever seen. Winding its way though the hotel grounds past the rooms, like a cool blue green river surrounded by lovely lush foliage. Breakfast buffet is exceptional - so many delicious choices. Staff very friendly and helpful . Amazing hotel in Khao Lak and reasonably close to shopping, eating, massages etc etc
Everything was amazing except for one night I ordered steak and after waiting for ever I received a cold piece of something that looked like steak i returned the meal and left the restaurant but was of course charged really not 5 star treatment Otherwise great hotel great pool and lovely wonderful staff
Great hotel but as our son had a birthday two weeks before arriving he was classed as an adult at 13. Bottom line is we were charged an extra £250 for exactly the same family room. Felt like a rip off and tainted our experience. As we have been to this hotel before we were a little sad they could not treat us better. Will think again next time.
Excellent 5 star resort
The resort is absolutely beautiful, grounds are beautiful and the breakfast buffet is the best I’ve had in Thailand. Fresh and plentiful.
Banchmark for 5 stars hotel

EXCELLENT PLACE FOR TOTAL R & R
If you are looking for a place to have total R & R this is the place. Staff are very helpful and always willing to help
Luxurious hotel in a beautiful location
A relaxing stay at the end of a travelling vacation aided by friendly staff and good facilities
We had a good stay at the Marriott but they were renovating rooms around us and it was very noisy, which spoilt our stay somewhat. Breakfast was excellent a lot of choice and the comfort of our two rooms was good. The swimming pools were very good beautiful and clean and the gardens were glorious. The only drawback was the location, we needed to pay for a taxi every time we wanted to go to town, other hotels we have stayed at usually have a courtesy bus to the local town.
Nice private resort. It’s a bit far from Airport north of most touristy places. The resort is amazing and totally worth the price tag it has compared to the region. Private beach, exoctic breakfast, and Venice like appearance with pools all around the property. Great service and nice people. Highly recommend.
Great Experience
Very close to the beach, attentive hotel staffs, great food, definitely would recommend to friends.
Nice Hotel on the beach. Great services.
Very nice hotel. The room is very clean and feels like home.
Very nice hotel Amazing beach, but beware of jellyfish
Gorgeous hotel, sensational pools!
The highlight of this resort is definitely the elaborate pools which interconnect the entire resort. Wading through these everyday was so relaxing and a real highlight. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect, including by popping around each afternoon to ask if we needed anything. All in all, a super relaxing holiday but also plenty of opportunity to do activities (e.g. bike riding, squash, tennis etc). Would love to come back!
Great massage ladies located just outside the resort and cheaper restaurants to try. Had 4 massages in 7 days , so very affordable
Family holiday
Nice hotel and friendly staff. Pinky’s beach restaurant, left side of hotel, a short walk away was lovely. Hotel meals were just too expensive. Room service was very reasonably priced. Reception and concierge were extremely helpful. Deli has the best ice creams and pizzas. Mod is a wonderful host.
Great Stay - Again!
We had a great stay. We don't normally return to hotels, but this was an exception. The hotel is really good, located on a lovely Bech with kind and excellent staff. Food is very good, particularly the breakfast buffet. Another great stay!!
Gorgeous resort in paradise
I love this hotel. We stayed here as a family of 5 a number of years ago and returned again this year just after New Year. We found it to be luxurious, with the most amazing breakfast you could ever hope for. The food is excellent overall, the service great. The manager walks around at breakfast time to see how the guests are doing. There is plenty to do. It has gotten pretty expensive so we decided to stay 2 nights at another luxury hotel nearby first but realized after this trip that the extra investment is definitely worth it. They have ping pong, a gorgeous beach, tennis, a great workout room, and do buffet dinner events really well. The spa is really nice, NO complaints at all!
Absolutely wonderful resort
Amazing hotel and great staff
It was amazing hotel and very friendly staff.
Great hotel with Rude and impolite services
Overalll are great and relaxing, but staff services dropped a lot nowadays, so surprise I can't see Marriott services !!! Staff seem not willing to work! No smile and very rude attitude to guests, specially breakfast hours in coffee shop at beach side every morning, very impolite to guests! No major words while serving.. only heard "alright? / ha?" I don't think I was staying in JW Marriott !!! Housekeeping and engineering staff are great. They are really "serve from heart !" I hope HR put much more training to them afterwards
Great relaxing resort
Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere great place to unwind. Beautiful beach view from the pool everything is well tended and clean.
Amazing experience
I'm not normally one for writing reviews, however on this occasion it would be unfair to all the team there not to. I stayed here for 5 nights and couldn't find 1 single fault with anything, ALL the staff there are absolutely amazing, I wish I could take my staff there to demonstrate how customers/guests should be treated, regardless what position they hold there, they go out of the way to acknowledge you. Definitely worth paying for a pool access room. I'm already planning my return to this hotel. Many thanks to all the team there for what was an amazing holiday.
Faultless,,
Staff work around the clock to maintan a immaculate and most accomodating experience..
Not the best
Not the best resort to stay in Way overpriced compared to other five star resorts close by You pay about 30% more for a resort that is only 50% as good as others in the area I think they rely on the Marriott name to get you in
Oasis
This is a beautiful resort with lots of amenities and beautiful spa with beach frontage and lots of pool areas. However, it is quite isolated and there Is very little in the way of other things in the local area. If you are content to just stay in the resort, then this is perfect.
Fantastic Resort with exceptional service.
Deluxe resort that goes that little bit further to make your stay extra special. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were more than impressed with the staff, the facilities and the location. The pool goes forever, the rooms were luxurious, the meals fabulous and staff so friendly and helpful.
Last few days to relax after a hectic holiday
My second visit to this beautiful place. Always good. pool fantastic and service incredible
Enjoyable, beautiful property beautiful location
Nice hotel nice location We enjoyed our stay, unfortunately on check inn without our permission my debit card was processed and this has resulted in part of my account still being frozen, I have a copy from the hotel to their bank cancelling the transaction The breakfast was excellent in a spacious location with nice views of the water The room menu was comprehensive Some drinks like local Thai Samsung cost for one bottle the same price that I pay for a box of 12, moral take your own booze or buy at the local 7/11
The most kind staff
What impressed me more was the staff .Very polite,kind and always ready to help.Congratulations and a very BIG THANK YOU ,to all of you. You made our holiday unforgettable . I have travelled a lot.This resort by far was the best.Their breakfast !!! No words to describe.Whatever you like was there. The resort grounds were magnificent. Beautiful tropical flowers and spotless clean. I also want to Thank Expedia for taking care of everything .Direct flights ,both ways transfers ,and accomodation,most important best value for money. When Australians asked us how much we paid,they could not beleive it. We had 10 wonderful days in khao lak
Water world
Arriving in our own rental car the staff were quick to unload and valet park the vehicle. Into reception and the usual greeting drink and smiling staff, all handled with efficiency and speed. Escorted to our room in this large resort with beautifully managed grounds and WOW, there is the largest amount of pool area we have ever seen in a hotel, our escort tells us there is 10 kilometres of pool winding through the resort, and it is beautifully kept. Our room on level 1 was clean, traditional Thailand style and spacious with a large well kept bathroom with all the usual accessories needed, twin hand basins, large rainhead shower, huge bath and w.c.. We would recommend hiring a car in this area as it is in a slightly out of the way place and so you can get to the local eating places. Hotel food ,especially the breakfasts were excellent and varied to cater for all tastes.
