Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa

Airport was a slow process but once arrived we in resort after a 1 1/2hr Drive it was heaven ! On arrival at the hotel we were greeted with a ice cold cloth and a glass of fruit punch , our room was ready as well . The hotel is beautiful , immaculately kept every where was so clean , all pool facilities were clean too , our room was amazing and the bed was so comfy . Bathroom was spotless , towels changed daily . All Food was great , there was never a breakfast/lunch or dinner when there was not something for everyone , albeit some a bit hot & spicy ! It was always warm . We never used the other on site restaurants as we was happy in the buffet restaurant. Drinks were good too , but there are only 2 AI bars the others you had to pay cash at which was strange but the hotel is both b&b & AI , also the mini bar in the room which you had to pay for ?? Hotel grounds are kept immaculate and gardeners on site daily. We did 2 tours one booked before we arrived directly with The elephant retirement park in Phuket which inc transfers and this was fab ! Elephants are so well looked after here - please look it up and visit . 2nd trip was booked at the tours desk in the hotel which was very reasonable and this was a longboat local snorkelling trip for 2 & only 5 mins down the Rd you got the boat and it was great with lunch supplied . Overall we had a fantastic magical time in Thailand and will be back !

We stayed for 2 weeks at 108 in a swim up pool room. That was our favorite as we could get away from everyone and just relax in our room while our son was in and out of the pool as he pleased. Being vegetarian we struggled a little with the food however once we told the staff - Namo, Pon, Ram were brilliant and took care of us by ensuring we had something to eat that we liked. The beach is one the best I've seen in a long time. The water was water shallow enough for us to go in and float and have a wonderful experince in the sea. Priceless! Highlights were seeing elephants but please do not do tour that encourage riding as its not good for them. We did one where we fed them and felt great joy in doing so. We visited Bang Niang market but its only open on set days so check before you leave. The all inclusive bit was a little confusing compared to other resorts that we've been to but we got used to it. Also, take mosquito repellents with you as we covered with bites. I ran out and brought local ones that cost 80 bahts. Overall, super staff, super location of natural beauty and plenty of sunshine. What more is there? Kha pun kha.

We had a great time at the apsara beach resort. The whole staff was very friendly and courteous. The resort and the rooms were nice, tidy and spacious. We say thank you very much for a wonderful time and all the extras we enjoyed (Room upgrade, New Years gala dinner and national park trip). Last but not least a special thanks to Sam.
