JW Marriot Khao Lat

Entrance to JW Marriot Khao Lat

The JW Marriot Khao Lat is significantly bigger than the Renaissance and much older in style, nevertheless a great experience.

At the JW Marriot Khao Lat, we had a swim up room off one of the many lagoon pools, all their pools are connected, the picture of the entrance is a pool that you would be able to swim up too from any room that has access to the lagoon.  The pool access are not private so anyone can jump in and swim, however, the entrance into it is semi-private.

Olive restaurant outside area

The restaurants on site are all pretty good, we ate on site for breakfast/lunch at the Olive restaurant, which is the only other that is open during the day other than the deli.  Sakura and Ta-krai are open for dinner which requires reservation.  Sakura was decent but I wouldn't recommend it, when in Thailand, eat amazing Thai food -- go to the Ta-Krai.

A couple of unique dishes that I had in Thailand, a must try that some Thai in the States attempt to replicate.  It is an appetizer wrapped with Betel leaves or also known as wild pepper leaves, the dish is known as Miang Kham or Miang Kam which they do serve at the JW Marriot in Khao Lat.
