I think I was lucky with my outward facing room, windows all around overlooking the jungle and hills and it was a big apartment too. It was quiet and I felt safe in all of Khoa Lak as a female on my own. All staff were friendly and I liked it was tucked away from the hussle but still walkable. Nice beaches near by. Food is ok for 3 star. Pools and beach were nice too and do close to a beautiful stretch of public beach. The only thing i would say for guests is to show then where their room is on a map as i got lost at 1am on my first night trying to find my room in the dark jungle themed areas.

Don't book if you want a beach
Place is dated. Room was spacious overlooking a pool. The whole place felt dark...little sun reaching the property. Located 2 blocks from water in a residential neighborhood. The beach is a joke...30 meters of sand between 2 huge cement walls. There is a reason why you wont find a photo of the beach on their website. About 30 beach chairs for 200 guests..no chance if you show up after 9am. Breakfast was good. Booked 10 days but checked out after 2 once i found a proper beach resort. I am trying to upload a pic but Hotels.com won't me.

The coffee, cake and fruit at 3.30 each day was quite unique. Unfortunately, this discontinued when it was low season, so could not take part in the last three days of my holiday. I'm sure there were sufficient folks to make it worth while all the time. The main town was quite a walk from the hotel, in very hot weather. They did go some way to overcoming this, in offering guests a chargeable shuttle one way and you make your own return. All round the world where the geography disadvantages a hotel regarding the location to either beach or town, a free shuttle is always provided both ways, once on a morning and again on the evening. It overcomes all the negative comments of this lovely hotel being in a remote location. The rooms were lovely and the three pools well maintained. The restaurant was great, overlooked the sea, some training of staff may be needed, to ensure delivery of availability of food at advertised opening times.

Apart from the variety of foods of breakfast, this resort is excellent. It has two big and one small outdoor pools, great for leisure and families. Room is big and clean. Thumb up to the enthusiastic staff, especially the reception (I remember one's name is Tan). They offered perfect services like friends.

Ayara Villas Difficult to find any positive points about this place. We arrived mid afternoon, the staff are quite cheerful, the lobby area is jaded, tired and just looks like it needs a complete update, in fact it’s probably best described as scruffy. We arrived in a rental car, we had requested parking ahead of our stay, but this was on the side of the road, which was concerning, as the road was quite narrow. We had booked and paid for a pool access room, we were asked if we wanted to see the room before we got our bags, we very quickly realised why, there are only a few pool access rooms and there is a massive building programme to enlarge the hotel going on adjacent to the rooms, we asked what time the noise starts and finishes, we were told 9 to 5, we decided that sticking with the room was the best option, as we didn’t fancy moving into one of the little cottages in the jungle area opposite that was full of bugs and insects. No concierge here, you lug your own bags to the room, thankful we were on the ground floor, as the route is up and down slopes and steps. The room really wasn’t what we were expecting, it was pretty basic, there again the room needs a complete refurb, the curtains are old, no net or voile drapes to provide any privacy, the bed is rock hard, one pillow each, the duvet doesn’t fit the bed, it’s too small for the width, the bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a hostel, my husband had to crush a large bug on the bathroom floor on arrival, the

decent
A nice hotel at the end of the road down from the market. A bit far but easy access to all restaurants. taxi's always down that way or if you had a scooter a short ride to the bars and restaurants. Stayed an extra day out of neccessity other wise i would not have. My only complaint is that nowhere on this site or on there website do they say there is construction. they are buidling another wing and one morning at 7:30am they were grinding away most mornings they were at it by 8am. hard to sleep in a relax with that. breakfast was minimal but adequate. little cared for beach and a few loungers to enjoy the sun.

Beautiful resort with beach access and great staff
We stayed at Ayara for 6 nights in a garden villa and had a lovely time. It was spacious, the bed comfortable, complimentary water, tea and coffee provided every day with deck chairs out the front for lazy afternoons. Also, it was quiet and set off the main road but still close enough that you could walk into town (about 10-15 minutes). The staff are super friendly and helpful - we initially had some issues with wifi and the very promptly brought a router to our room. Also, you can easily hire a scooter from reception for 200 baht per day, which is a great way to explore the area. Breakfast was included in the price and was okay - there were very limited options for the first few days we were there but that improved, perhaps when more people came to stay? One problem I did have was the tea and coffee consistently being luke warm. Nevertheless, the resort has great facilities including beach access, 2 pools and a gym with beautiful grounds and gardens. We would not hesitate to visit again in the future.

Nicd hotel, average location
Nice room, good service overall. Not quite on the beach but only a minute away, the private beach is small but it is only a short walk from the main beach. Food was ok, not very exciting but not too bad. The area is a typical resort, lots of low key bars and restaurants and tour operators, pretty quiet mostly Germans.

Wonderful hotel.
From the moment we checked in the staff were so friendly. Beautiful hotel with a nice pool and lovely grounds. Breakfast is served in the beach restaurant and the views and sound of the sea are so good. Breakfast buffet is good with the option of egg dishes to order. I cannot fault the hotel in any way and would highly recommend and if I go back to Bang Niang then this is where I would stay. Thank you so much for a wonderful week.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in Khao Lak. Das Ayara Villas Hotel eignet sich hervorragend um eine entspannte Zeit in Thailand zu verbringen.
