Aonang Paradise Resort

Warning!!!! Do not stay here. I know many of us don’t have time to read a long review, so here are the cliff notes: 1. Misleading photos (“pool view room” not as pictured. Pool is to side of room and you stare at plants) 2. Short hours for pool and gym. Pool can be loud with visiting guests if in “poolside room.” 3. No electric upon arrival to hotel, all day, with no advanced warning or complimentary items offered. This was province wide, but was only notified after already being checked in and bags were being rolled to room. 4. “Pool view room” has strong sewer system smell coming from bathroom vent. 5. Tv was non functional entire stay. Upon arrival, both picture and sound. Informed reception, was told technician would come. No updates given to me. Had to ask reception 3x before being told there was a cable issue on the whole side of the property. Nothing was to be done and nothing given to remedy the problem. 6. Ants in room! Everywhere! 7. No water pressure despite tampering 8. Extremely hard bed!!!! 9. Bad breakfast! Read reviews stating there was a good spread, lie!! Also ordered eggs and they were brought to the wrong table 10. Pool chairs advertised are heavy, do not move, and have no functional capability of sitting up. All you can do it lie flat. 11. Language barriers. If yo don’t speak Thai, communication is hard, you get the run around.

Walking distance to an excellent beach. Lots of ating places everywhere outside. Be careful to not break or lose anything here because they will charge you and it’s not cheap! They insist they are right and the customer is wrong! Major part of their problem is they don’t understand English. Manager was rude when we needed to speak to him as we were told he spoke English. He didn’t understand us at all though. Left a very bad taste in our mouths. We left feeling like we were thieves because a laundry bag was missing from one of our rooms (they had to change our rooms twice because of mosquitoes coming in from open gaps in the door of our first room, and a thick trail of ants in our second room going through the bed) and the charge to us for that missing laundry bag was 200 THB!

First of all we waited a long time at the immigration queue at the Airport as there were only 4 officers checking out hundreds and hundreds of passengers.. Checking in at the hotel was okay but we were charged 600bahts for the transportation to the hotel. We found out later the normal charge was only 300bahts. Room amenities did not have toothbrushes and tissue papers. Room was rather small. To be fair to them the room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was okay. Small selection with nothing to wow about. Krabi is getting to be expensive and too crowded. Not coming here anymore.

The grounds were so cute and lush, the bungalow cute and modern amd the staff very helpful . My only complaint, beds were hard. But overall great place. We only booked our first 4 nights but liked it so much here we stayed the remainder of our trip.

Very nice service at the front desk, and the room was very spacious, with a massive bed, good A/C and tv with cable. The food and the drinks at the bar/restaurant is good and affordable (comparable to the other places/restaurants in Aonong) and you have a majestic view from the bar/pool area with the massive cliffs in the middle of the forest. The hotel is maybe 500 metres from the beach, but is a very walkable road, with lots of bars, restaurants and shops on the way to the beach. At night, the nightlife is very busy, specially at the Central Plaza, where the bars stay open until 5 am, and it's only 10-15min walking from the hotel. I highly recommend staying in this hotel due to the location, its great amenities, and the service from the staff.

Excellent hotel. The staff made me feel very welcome and were helpful with everything (thank you Khun Umpond). Nice pool area with cliff view. I stayed in a bungalow room, and was pleasantly surprised by the modern design and standard. Relatively central, but quiet. Near a small bar area and plenty of restaurants. For the price, definetely one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Thailand.

The hotel was great, the staff was very helpful and friendly. Walking distance to the beach and shopping.

The rooms were very clean. Medium pool. The food was lovely. But most of all the staff were so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Close to the beach

Great place, great people, great location. Close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Very enjoyable, relaxed time spent there. People were all very friendly and willing to help you as much as possible.

Unfriendly staff, dirty shower, rooms decorated like student accommodation. Wouldn't stay here again.
