Views were amazing, especially from level 8. The location was super central right amongst shops and restaurants and an 8 minute walk to the beach. The rooms was clean and comfortable and the restaurant offered a nice breakfast. The infinity pool has a wonderful view of the sea and the rooftop bar is a great place to enjoy a drink an watch the sunset.

Fantastic Resort with terrible access !!

Reviewed By ruteshj

We were a family of 7 and stayed for 4 nights in 2 x Beach front 2 bedroom villas with a private pool. I would say this is the best property in Krabi but with a terrible access from mainland (more on this later & this is why only 3 vs 5 stars). The Villas were huge, very well furnished & maintained, fantastic views and properly taken care of by housekeeping on daily basis. The resort is beautiful with its landscaped gardens, multiple pools, a very clean private beach, beachfront dining etc. Everything is picturesque !! Some of the rooms up the hill can be quite a walk but they have buggies. I think we made the right decision to pay for beachfront villas to be on the beach. May is not peak season and Thailand is just seeing more tourists coming in. So only 1 restaurant was open with limited options, but food was quite good. The Japanese restaurant was open on Saturday and we loved the Teppanyaki, excellent chef !! If this resort was connected to Krabi by a road, I would have given 5 stars !! but the only way in is via boat or the monkey trail !!! The hotel speedboat service needs to be improved to accommodate guests, do additional runs. They seem to have 2 boats but use only 1 with hourly / 2 hr interval service to Ao Nang (nopartthara pier). Could see many angry guests who could not get a spot on the boat. Reserve well in advance but that takes away the fun of deciding something spontaneously. Or take a 1000 THB long tail each way. Also only the brave hearted would venture out in the sea after darkness. So no dinner options to go to , unless you use the monkey trail !! The jetty is made of rubber / plastic floats connected together and many of the handrails are missing. There were huge waves and the jetty bounces around dangerously. It was right in front of our villa and every time the boat came there were screams heard from terrified people !!! The hotel is waiting for an accident to happen !! They don't even bother to repair the broken center handrails !! On our way back the weather was bad and boat service was cancelled. The hotel bell boy escorted us through the monkey trail to Ao Nang, He was very courteous but the monkey trail is quite steep with few very bad steps. Its surely unsafe for the elderly, small kids and you need the right clothing (trekking). Quite strenuous option to do to & fro from Ao Nang !! If you are game for a jetty which is like a walking roller coaster without handrails or fit enough to do the monkey trail every time you want to go to Ao Nang or just want to stay a few days disconnected from the world, then this is the perfect resort. Otherwise avoid.... Would only visit again or recommend if I can see a proper concrete / wooden firm jetty installed by the hotel. I am sure they miss many repeat customers (surely us) just because of the access. Its a shame that such a beautiful resort has such terrible access....

AoNang Villa Resort. A gem of a place.

Reviewed By AlanBaybut

Spent 6 days here in between stays in Bangkok. The hotel is in a brilliant location, right on the beach. The staff are super friendly and efficient, even the security guard at the entrance salutes and chats to you! The hotel is split into 6 or 7 different blocks, some with views over the swimming pool, others with sea views. Our room was very large with a balcony, although in April it’s a bit too hot to sit on it for very long. Facilities in the room a bit basic, kettle with tea bags and coffee (no milk) and a fridge. No iron, but I suspect you could get one from reception, but there is a hair dryer. The main swimming pool (there’s 2) is huge so no difficulty finding room to sit. Unfortunately the pool bar was closed, but I think Covid is still impacting as the hotel isn’t full. However, I would definitely recommend the AoNong Villa Resort as a place to stay because of its location, the hotel itself and the fantastic staff. As an aside there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the sea front in AoNang. A little bit touristy, with numerous tailors accosting you when you walk by trying to get you to buy a suit, jacket, shirt etc. The place is surrounded by the most fantastic scenery and lovely beaches. Definitely a family friendly location but also plenty of bars within walking distance with live music and other entertainment to suit a younger clientele!
