"Pros: Apsara resort and villas Just leaving, after too short a stay! Lovely, well kept accommodation and gardens. Spotless facilities. A big uncrowded beach. A cool seafront bar with music worthy of Café del Mar. Excellent, welcoming staff everywhere. Good food. What more could one ask for? Well actually - despite the excellence of the main resort, the Villa side is even better. We had 823, a two bedroomed, beautifully designed luxury villa with its own pool. Entirely private and completely secluded, except for when we turned the “please clean our room” notice around. Indoor cool marble. Outdoor sunbeds and a covered area with table and chairs. Jacuzzi jets in the pool. Subtle lighting throughout. The Villa side of the resort also gives access to the Napolai restaurant with its excellent à la carte Thai menu and to the adjacent bar. It is truly lovely. Well worth the additional cost. Surprisingly, having brought our binoculars for wild-life spotting opportunities in the national Parks, we saw more birds and animals from our patio here than in the Khao Sok jungle, or any of the islands. Thank you to everyone here for looking after us so well! Cons: Nothing to dislike. It was all excellent." ~Richard
