Ayara Villas Khaolak

We were extremely pleased with our stay at Ayara Villas! The room was super spacious for a family of four - huge king size bed, side bed (and a pull-out bed as well!) and we got a free baby crib to the room too. Small kitchen area in the room, good shower. Good black-out curtains.The staff were so nice and friendly, they placed our room near the fabulous children's play room - which was huge, lots of toys, climbing blocks, slide and chill-out sofas and hammocks for adults too :) Books for different aged kids, even some baby toys and baby play mat.Our room had pool access, which was great, as the water was perfect ankle deep for our small children (then continued to the main pool). Several different pool areas, few kids pools and a play/waterslide area for children. (Even older kids would enjoy this.)Restaurant located at the beach was great, breakfast was very versatile - with egg station and a wide hot food & salad buffet. In-house made pancakes, real bacon and even cheese (which is a rare find in hotel breakfasts in Asia) :) Spa & massage also at the beach, which could be added to the room bill.Small private beach, not so suitable for youngest children, but nice none the less. Bigger /longer beach a short walk away.Location on a calm street with a few local restaurants near by. Short taxi ride or abt 1km walk to "main street" with restaurants, shops etc. Hotel offers shuttle to town every night at 6pm (big local market open 4 days a week).
