JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Suites

Our trip to JW Marriott Khao Lak was amazing. the rooms, the swimming pools, the beach, the service were top notch. easy to reach from Phuket airport (1.30h by car), it's an oasis of happiness, where kids can run free and parents don't feel guilty to disturb other guests (because there are Adults' only areas). SPECIAL MENTION to the RESTAURANTS. we have been always eating in the resort (although there are some local options on the beach beside the hotel), and we were stunned by the quality / variety and consistency of the good food we had. Indian, Thai, Japanese and an Italian that reminded me of Home. We will come back for sure. BRAVI!

This is our fifth trip to Khao Lak, and we have stayed at various resorts. We were two families - 4 adults and 4 children. JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Suites is by far the best resort we’ve experienced. The property is expansive, impeccably clean, serene, and surrounded by lush greenery, which is a treat for the eyes. The rooms are clean and we love the laminated wood flooring. JW Marriott stands out as the first hotel/resort we’ve stayed at that provides hair conditioner. Most hotels and resorts typically offer only shampoo and shower gel, but JW Marriott goes the extra mile in this regard. The beach is tranquil, never crowded, and thoughtfully equipped with a water station near the beach and swimming pool, offering fresh, cold water exclusively for JW Marriott guests—a small detail that makes a big difference. The kids’ club is spacious, catering to children of all ages, and staffed by friendly and helpful professionals, giving parents peace of mind to leave their kids there. The breakfast buffet is phenomenal, offering a wide variety of cuisines, and the quality of the food is excellent. The coffee deserves special mention as it’s freshly brewed by a barista rather than from an automatic coffee machine. Among the resort's restaurants, Sakura (the Japanese restaurant) stands out as the best. The sashimi is fresh, and the tenderloin teppanyaki is perfectly cooked to your preference. Our children also loved the kids’ menu, and we enjoyed dinner there three times during our five-night stay. Another noteworthy restaurant is Sala, which is open for lunch. The menu offers a great mix of Asian and Western dishes, along with a dedicated kids' menu. Special thanks to Mr. Art from Sala restaurant—his impeccable service and willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate dietary requirements truly elevated our dining experience. The Italian restaurant, Olive, had its hits and misses. While the appetizers were excellent, we found the pizza dough a bit heavy to our taste—but of course, preferences may vary. The resort also offers a range of engaging activities. For children, highlights include visiting the farm, learning about shark conservation, and egg picking. For adults, there are early yoga classes, bird watching, bath bomb-making workshops, and a well-equipped gym featuring high-quality Technogym equipment. Lastly, the overall service provided by the JW Marriott staff was exceptional—efficient, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. We highly recommend JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Suites for an unforgettable family getaway.
